I got nothin'

Hey Gooster, since you are the only follower these days, lol....

Seriously, I hope all is well out there in the real world, same ole chit happenin' here.

PookieBear and I are working on another bedroom now, we went to the HomoDepot last weekend and found some granite tile on sale. Got a GREAT price, only like $2 bucks a tile, it usually goes for around $7 bucks or more. We are having the spare office and the master bedroom and bath done with this tile.

The people FINALLY came and put the desk together, I kno call me lazy, but it was worth the $80 bucks to have someone put it together. It would have taken me FOREVER to do it myself, plus a ton of aggrevation.

The parents came last weekend and Mom has gotten a new puppy. She got a Yorkie, and named it Libby....ewwwww....sorry Libby's of the world, I just don't think that it's a good name, but hell, mine are Buffy and Willow...who am I to judge. She is adorable tho, and loved to play with Buffy, but didn't like Willow at all, it was hilarious to see them all together, heeeheehee.

It is snowing here AGAIN....man am I ready for Spring. This is the view out my office window - usually you can see the Old State Capitol clearly, but not today with all the snow = ( also why are the flags at 1/2 staff??? Maybe due to the NIU shootings? No clue here....I can't believe they haven't cleaned the walkways....broke ass state gov't at work for ya!!!

I can't wait to get home and do NOTHING this weekend. Oh yea, gotta put the home-office back together and move some other furniture, seal the grout and tile, take the girls to the groomer, probably shovel a freakin driveway, weekend errands.....pfffft I need a drink.

Thankfully we picked up a BIG OLE BOTTLE of Captain Morgan and the mixers for some homemade Sangria last weekend!!!!

Oh well, hope ya'll have a great weekend, and hopefully I will have pics after we get some things accomplished this weekend.

peace/out

Recipe of the Day

We had a food day at work once again, it seems like everytime somebody farts around here, we have another food day. The only thing that makes it worthwhile is I get new recipes

This one looks better in person and tastes fantastic. I don't really eat ground beef anymore, and I will sub-out ground turkey, but damn it was yummy, especially on a cold day like today!

SANTA FE SOUP

2 LBS. GROUND BEEF
1-2 ONIONS, CHOPPED
2 PKGS. FIESTA RANCH STYLE DRESSING MIX
2 PKGS. TACO SEASONING MIX
1 (16OZ) BLACK BEANS UNDRAINED
1 (16OZ) KIDNEY BEANS UNDRAINED
1 (16OZ) PINTO BEANS UNDRAINED
1 (16OZ) CAN TOMATOES UNDRAINED
1 CAN ROTEL DICED TOMATOES WITH CHILIS UNDRAINED (MAY USE 2 CANS TO MAKE HOTTER)
1 CAN WHITE CORN UNDRAINED
2 CUPS WATER

COOK MEAT AND ONION TOGETHER. STIR DRESSING MIX AND TACO MIX INTO THE MEAT. ADD REMAINING INGREDIENTS. SIMMER FOR 2 HOURS. ADD MORE WATER IF TOO THICK. GARNISH EACH SERVING WITH SHREDDED CHEDDAR CHEESE AND SLICED GREEN ONIONS. SERVE WITH TORTILLA CHIPS.

We also had a cheeseburger soup, green pepper soup, potato soup and veggie soup.

And damn if sum bitches didn't make dessert too!!

That would be me, being the first one to cut into all that yummy-fat-ass-carb-and-calorie laden chit. Me luuuuuvvvs me some brownies!!! The other is some sort of apple pie only made flat on a cookie sheet.

I hate all the bitches on this floor tho, they make great food and it's like Paula Deen herself was up in here stickin' butter quarters up our asses. None of them cook healthy, it's all good ole midwestern fats and cholesterol. I am sooooo screwed, thank gawd I got my blood work done the other day while I was off. The Dr. could REALLY bitch me out next week when I see him for my check up.

(man what a scary pic...I look possessed, heeheehee)

Oh well, I am off for seconds....

Chow! errr I mean Ciao!

**UPDATE - I feel sick, I ate too much = ( **

Numero Uno

Isn't he just the cutest damn thing. Uno, is the first Beagle to ever win "Best in Show", from the Westminster Kennel Club.

A day off w/nothing accomplished

So it was nice being off yesterday for Lincoln's birthday, one of the few pluses being in the State of IL. It was a nasty day out, so I was glad to be home with the girls.

I want to know why I never have the delivery man or home fix-it man that is in porno$. I mean hell, in my 40+ years there has never been a boom-chica-bow-wow music cue, with me opening the door with some strapping young hunk at the door, ready and williing to give me a DELIVERY or SNAKING OF THE PIPES, **wink, wink**. There was that time back in the early 90's that I was playing with the phone company/electrician, but that is another story, heeheehee. But really, who does this happen too??? Better yet, WHERE does this happen????

Case in point, yesterday we had a new hot water heater installed, and let's just say he was a little back-woodsy. I almost wanted to call the company back and ask for a cuter model, but I thought that would be just plain mean, heeheehee. He was not even cute in the slightest, only like 5'8", missing a couple front teeth and smelled like he had smoked a carton before coming to our place. He was nice enough and polite with his "Sir's" and "May I" stuff, but it took him ALL DAY LONG to complete the stuff we wanted done. You see, he not only installed/disposed water heaters, but whent he house was built, they put the key to turn on the fireplace, INSIDE the damn hearth. They also used aluminum pipe to run the gas to it, so we had it install new pipe and drill a new turn key on the outside brick to bring it up to code. All said and done for less than $2K, not bad, but time-wise it was from 9:30 am to 5 pm.....grrrrrrr and the girls were none to happy either, they wanted to check out the visitor, but I had to either keep them in the bedroom or on the porch.

It was nice having a HOT 15 MINUTE SHOWER this morning, aaaahhhhhhhhh

In the next week, we have a ton o shit being delivered, so I will have all kind of pics for the masses, but can I just have one sorta-boom-chica-bow-wow moment.....please.....heeheehee.

By the way, the guest bedroom is almost done, but one major piece of furniture has had the delivery date pushed back....so maybe tonite I will update on what has happened in there so far....

peace/ out

***New and Improved***

Just let me begin by saying that I do not know how much or how often I will be posting to this blog.

I mainly like the name of it, since most of my blogroll know me by this name, and then if I do decide to take up blogging fulltime again, I have it here to do.

I don't know what the hell I did, but I was trying to merge all my stupid blogger/google accounts, and somehow I deleted The Martini Lounge. Oh well....

The guest bedroom is almost finished, just waiting on the desk to be put together/delivered this next Tuesday. Once all is said and done I will post pics, The Girls don't know what to think of it. Every chance they get they are in there sniffing up a storm, lol.

The weather here sucks, one day it is in the mid 60's, then we got a foot of snow the next, and then we had thunderstorms the following day. WTF is up with that...the apocolypse????

Well, time for me to scoot, I am going to fudge around with the layout and colors...just wait till you see me next, heeheehe.
