Mine?
I choose multi-grain good for you bread toasted…take a dab of butter and toss some turkey around in the frying pan, then slab Miracle Whip (light) on one side of the bread and a piece of cheese on the other. Sprinkle a wee bit of salt and…
Mmmmm.
I would have taken a photo, but the damn sandwich was too good. Maybe next time.
Next time: 
What the hell is wrong with me? I need to get moving. Get doing. Get something. I’ve been lying around doing close to nothing for the last two and a half days. Good grief!
Thank goodness for my sweet sweet kitty cats, they really have been enjoying having a lazy mama sleeping by their side at all hours. They also very much appreciate the fact that mama made a 12 pound turkey…Gobble gobble! Love those purring cuddle monsters so.
I decided to get in the shower and clean up in the bedroom a bit (while the sun was still shining in the windows) and then I was thinking about heading to B&N. Only I don’t want to deal with the people or the traffic associated with B&N. But I could go for a fancy coffee and cranberry bliss bar and a stack of magazines.
I dunno. I thought I was out the door and then I turned on Pandora Christmas music and got stuck again. I cleaned the kitty litter boxes, put away a few things in the bedroom. Just made myself a DELICIOUS turkey sandwich (is there anything better in the world?) And now I’m stuck again.
Do I stay or do I go?
I need to pick up Heavy Creme from the store if I’m going to do the Daring Bakers Challenge tonight (still not sure if I want to, but I do LOVE baking…I should, once I do it I know I’ll be happy! Even if I have no one to share the goods with until work on Monday.)
I also want to purchase some spray paint and redo a few pieces of furniture/shelves.
I also could get out the Christmas Decorations. Or do my Christmas Cards.
I also could read one of the 27 books next to my bed.
I also could go to the co-op and get in a few hours of work.
But instead? I sit here and blog about nothing.
I dunno…I just dunno, but I’m hoping this damn fog lifts soon. Life is too short to spend this much time in bed (at least alone, ahem.)
Here’s my list.

I managed to cook a turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and PP salad today.
And that’s about all she wrote, I’m afraid.
Oh, I made it to the post office too.
Bah. Back to bed, where I feel warm, cozy and loved sleeping next to my purring cats and I’m surrounded by books I could be reading…
“Our limitations and success will be based, most often, on our own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon.”

November 25, 2008 It’s easy to take our feelings for granted and to assume that the people we care about know how we feel about them. But while those we love are often quite cognizant of our feelings, saying “I love you” is a gift we should give to our loved ones whenever we can. Letting people know you love them is an important part of nurturing any kind of loving relationship. Few people tire of being told they are loved, and saying “I love you” can make a world of difference in someone’s life, take a relationship to a new level, or reaffirm and strengthen a steady bond. Everyone needs to hear the words “I love you.” Three simple words – I – Love – You. When you declare your love for someone you admit to them that you care for them in the most significant way. It can be difficult to express your love using words, particularly if you grew up around people that never expressed their affection verbally. But you should never be afraid to say “I love you” or worry that doing so will thrust you into a position of excessive vulnerability. It is important to share your feelings with those that matter to you. Part of the fulfillment that comes with loving someone is telling them that you love them. Besides, love exists to be expressed, not withheld. If you love someone, let them know. Don’t be afraid of the strength of your emotions or worry that your loved one won’t feel the same way. Besides, the words “I love you” are often best said to another without expectation of a return investment. As each one of us is filled with an abundance of love, there is never any worry that you’ll run out of love if your expression of love isn’t said back to you. Saying, “I love you” is a gift of the heart sent directly via words to the heart of a recipient. Even though it may not always look that way, love from the heart is an offering that is always unconditional and given without strings attached. That is the true essence of the gift of “I love you.” |
I know this is supposed to be delicious but, ick! Check out the ingredients.
Mama Stamberg’s Cranberry Relish Recipe
Man.
I’ve been back home in my apartment now for a week and I still haven’t been able to do a thing! Grrrr.
The things I need/want/should to do but haven’t done and don’t really feel like doing at all include:
1. Painting. I have paint for the bathroom. And to finish the middle room. And red for the big bedroom, but now I’m considering painting the front room red (instead of blue or green which have been the top contenders the last few weeks in my daydreams.)
2. Cleaning. Um, yeah. I need to clean everything. All the floors need to be scrubbed and everything needs a lot of love right now.
3. Rearranging. Um, I have to move my bedroom into the middle room. I have to rearrange all the furniture in the front rooms too! No idea what I’m going to do.
4. Laundry. Dear God. I have laundry everywhere. All over my bedroom in baskets and bags still unpacked from the last few weeks. And a whole bunch of winter clothes in the basement to bring upstairs!
5. Decorations! I have lots of Christmas Cheer in the basement to bring up!!!
6. Winterizing. Brrrr! Plastic on windows. Must do!
7. Gert. I want to get her washed and vacuumed inside, all nice and shiny pretty.
8. Co-op work. Um, minutes and policy register! Been procrastinating…must do tomorrow.
So what have I been doing instead?
1. Coffee. Drinking it.
2. Computer. Sitting in front of it.
3. Internet Shopping. A few purchases and a whole lot of browsing. I bought a super cheap tapestry throw for the couch and throw rug for the living room. I bookmarked a bunch of thermal lined curtains that are super cheap. And I bookmarked a bunch of comforters (I don’t NEED one, but I’d really, really, really like one to match the new bedroom.) Same goes for the electric fireplaces. Oh yeah, and I bought a bunch of shoes/boots on clearance. Seriously, 5 pairs for $50!
And what am I going to do now?
1. Shower. Um, yeah, been up before 8 am and well see above…
2. Gather. I shall gather some clothes together for laundry (maybe even get out those sweaters from the basement?)
3. Drive. To the Southtowns. Where I shall meet up with my brother and family so we can all head to Dunkirk/Fredonia to do dinner with childhood friends. As in, um, I think we haven’t seen our friend Mark in over 20 years! Should be fun.
Ambitiously anticipating to do for tomorrow?
1. Go to church.
2. Work at Co-op.
3. Put away laundry.
Good night friends!
