DATE: 04/11/2009 05:36:43 / MOOD: happy
T'was the day before Easter -
and all through the house............................
the dough for the Easter bread is on it's first rise - just need to punch down, braid and stick the eggs in the braid and bake
the eggs are all dyed
the baskets are made (so is the chocolate)
ham's in the fridge for roasting tomorrow
the plastic eggs are filled and ready for tomorrow's Easter Egg Hunt (I hope I have the energy for that one!)
2 more loads of laundry and that's done
make my jello eggs next - and pies when the Easter bread comes out of the oven
then polish the furniture
and hopefully find the time to cut my hair
(just not enough hours in a day)

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE
DATE: 02/23/2009 12:55:56 / MOOD: happy
(1) Fine: This is the word when use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').
(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.
* Send this to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology.
* Send this to all the women you know to give them a good laugh, cause they know it's true!!!

MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE
DATE: 02/23/2009 12:53:49 / MOOD: happy
MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE
NICKNAMES
- If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah.
- If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.
- When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.
- When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.
- A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
- A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.
- A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel .
- The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.
- A woman has the last word in any argument.
- Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
- A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
- A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
- A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
- A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
- A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
- A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.
- A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.
- A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.
- Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
- Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
- Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
- A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!
SO, send this to the women who have a sense of humor and who can handle it .... and to the men who will enjoy reading it.

crash update
DATE: 02/16/2009 11:27:27 / MOOD: don't know
still many questions!
everything seemed normal - then the plane pitched and the nose went down 45 degrees, they brought it up reaching 30 degrees but it was turning away from the airport and started to roll
the plane descended 800 feet in 5 seconds
when it hit it was facing in the opposite direction of the airport
bodies are still on the plane - frozen from the water that was used to put the flames out
the first responders can't handle it - it's very overwhelming for them
they are still trying to figure out how many were on the plane and if there was anyone who should not have been on there.....

thank you
DATE: 02/14/2009 10:50:34 / MOOD: don't know
I would like to say thank you for the kind PM's, emails, etc. regarding the horrific plane crash that happened up here.
As many of you know - I am near Buffalo.
We are fine - here. Wish I could say it for others.
The night of the crash I heard the planes engines - they did not sound good at all. It was well after 10 at night - not easy to see anything in the sky.
The sounds were getting louder, the plane was getting lower.
I knew it was going to hit - I prayed it would hit in Lake Erie - not to hit any homes if it wasn't able to make it to the airport.
It's a terrible feeling - your helpless. You cannot do a thing. You cannot help. All you can do it wait and pray.
The area where the plane landed was dotted with homes - they weren't built 4 feet apart like many developments. How it only hit one home - I don't know.
All I could think of was the planes that hit the Twin Towers - the passengers strapped in and seeing what was coming and not being able to help themselves at all.
Those last few "eternal" moments of terror.
And the poor man sitting at his dining room table - working on his hobby - killed by a plane.
The first responders - trying to put out the flames, worrying about all that fuel that was spilled, trying to find a way to shut of the gas lines because of all the explosions and yet screaming at a plane engulfed in flames hoping to hear the voices of any survivors in the blazing inferno.
Hearing a plane in the air scares me now. No - I don't think I am paranoid - but some are low flying because they are going to land. Just the sound of their engines makes you look up and wonder.
I have friends traveling - we are waiting for the passenger list to be released. We are grateful that the Irish dancers took an earlier flight. Several others did the same. I wish they all could have.
Our local news gets interrupted throughout the day with updates and announcements. Many were evacuated from their homes and still cannot get back in. It's being treated like a crime scene.
All we can do is pray - for those that were lost, those who have suffered a loss, and those in that area - as well as those that are working tirelessly at the scene.

what a difference a day makes!

What a difference a day makes!
Yesterday - beautiful weather and almost 60! Just perfect.
And then it happened - the winds kicked up - they are now sustained at 60+ mph - power is out - I am on battery - just the light from the computer to see anything - and of course, a flashlight by my side.
It started raining last night - still raining at 5 am - by 5:20 it was a total white out. the snow is falling "sideways" - LOL.
Trees are down, lights are out, and I'm worried about having to bail the sump pump soon!
I started to head into Buffalo at 5:20 this morning - at that time it was just raining in Buffalo - so I headed into the city - driving through a white out so that I can watch the little ones (I'm an adopted grammaw) and their mom can catch her shuttle (she's a school bus aide) and it was eerie with no lights on the streets.
And you are trying to dodge trees, tree limbs, debris, etc. deposited in the streets by the winds.
I called their mom - hoping that she sees what is going on and she decides to stay home. But it's only raining and windy there.
Can't drive more than 10 mph and the roads were pathetic!
Half way there - cell rings - it's my mom - Buffalo schools are now closed. Great. I'm halfway there. I called their mom - she has a different channel on - it hasn't been announced. So change the channel - DUH!
Okay - here's a circle - I'll just drive 'round it and head back home. Half hour later I was finally home.
I got bombed with tree branches - all over my car! I had to dodge 20 foot limbs and partial trees on one road - cripe - it looked like a battlefield.I'm just thankful that it's not garbage day anywhere or I'd look like I was playing pinball on the road dodging it all!
The car is now encased in snow, traffic is getting heavier and power is out. And so are the idiot drivers out. Out of their minds that is! They are in a hurry - so get out of their way. grrrrr
And Dick????? Where are you???? We now have at least 6 to 8 inches on the highway and it's getting worse! Put down your booze bottle and get in high gear!
The winds are still way too high for comfort. No - I won't end up in Kansas - but with the wind direction - my house may end up on Ron's front lawn!
So Ron - put the teapot on.
Guess I'll save my battery for a bit.......
Wishing you all sunshine and blue skies (and send some our way!)

a KFC story,,,,,,,,,,,
DATE: 02/07/2009 19:56:39 / MOOD: disappointed
here's a KFC story -
That finger-lickin' good chicken smothered in salt and MSG and pressure fried......
In last week's paper there were coupons for KFC - sounded good - figured I could get away without cooking a meal today.
Boy was I stupid!
So after standing in line and waiting for the girl to take my order (4 employees - one on the counter, one walking around, one playing in the corn bin for well over half an hour, and one hiding in the back) which had me standing there for 25 minutes before she got to me (there were 3 orders ahead of me) I got to pull out my coupons and was told immediately that they don't take them. I asked why - and was told that they are now a franchise and take NO coupons. Okay. Put the coupons away.
Mind you - I had a twenty dollar bill and some change on me - that was all I needed for what I wanted with the coupon.
So I inquired about those box meals that they keep advertising - great deal - just that they didn't have any tenders or drumsticks. Forget the box.
??????????????????
Okay - that's out.
All right - how about the 8-piece meal with 2 sides and 4 biscuits? And I would prefer original, please. Almost $22. Thank heaven for loose change in the bottom of the purse.
No covers for the bucket of chicken - just a piece of tissue.
Okay.
Place everything on the passenger side of the car floor (it was in a plastic bag) and turn the heater on full blast to keep it warm till I get home (try that in the summer in 90 degree heat! LOL)
I'm home - we've got chicken.
It wasn't chicken.
It was SALT. Pure crusty salt with so much pepper added to it that we were gagging. It looked like it was fried 4 or 5 times. It was dark and nasty.
Potatoes - one lump of CLAY. Couldn't get them off the spoon. I won't tell you what the gravy tasted like.
Coleslaw - 99% onion and a few speckles of carrot - dry as a bone - not more than a spit of coleslaw dressing.
Biscuits - half the size they used to be - and COLD. I think the heater blowing on them in the car is what kept them "warm".
So needless to say - thank heaven for coldcuts 'cuz that's what we ended up eating!
For $3 I could've had a chicken, cut it up, even had drumsticks (LOL) and made it myself.
Boy am I stupid -
but it's the last time I will go there!
The Colonel has to be turning over in his grave.

what's everyone doing for the superbowl?
DATE: 02/01/2009 11:31:04 / MOOD: happy
What's everyone doing for the superbowl this year?
I made pizza dough yesterday (rise once, punch down, divide into 2 pieces, place in plastic bags large enough for the dough to rise in the fridge) place in fridge and DO NOT DISTURB AT ALL.
And I made my pizza sauce - drove all over but finally found chicken wings - then made my honey-BBQ sauce for them!
so it's pizza and wings today -
remove the dough from the fridge, stretch it out, top it and bake it
wings - I want to bake those too - they fall right off the bone!
so - whacha doin'???
