HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!

Once and For ALL.......

Once and for all let's get this straight.
Stuffing and Dressing are NOT THE SAME THING!!!!!!

Stuffing goes IN the bird and is of a loose consistency.










Dressing is made with the BROTH of the bird and baked in a separate DISH and firm enough to cut into squares or bars!!!!!





For The Love Of God and Turkey On Thanksgiving Day- DO NOT confuse the two- EVER!!!!!
Families have went to Feud over this subject because new in-laws have confused the two or ones who know better decided to arbitrarily "try something different". Oh No...You have decades old traditions and you might want to try something new- but you have to do it along with the traditional thing, not INSTEAD OF!

Oh My Lord- the Pain!!! The Pain!!!!

(Yes, I AM somewhat of a Drama Queen when it comes to my holiday traditions.)

The Hardest Thing....

<-----How it SHOULD look.......











.............Housework wise- for me it's folding the dang laundry.
I can wash them all day...
Dry them?...No prob...
Take them out of the dryer-yep.

Fold and put them away???...Avoid it like the plague.

So now- my 6x8 ft laundry room has
1 washer
1 dryer
1 shelf for detergent, bleach and dryer sheets
and a MOUNTAIN of clean, dry clothes.
Which are now covering the entire floor of the laundry room just because I tried to look in the storage closet in the laundry room and toppled the mountain of clothes over.
Did I decide enough was enough and finally face the mountain and fold them and put them away?


HELLOOOOOOO!!!???!!!!???!!!
Did you not just see where I said I avoid folding them like the PLAGUE?????
Then No.....
I didn't.

I mean I have a busy life...you know...doing IMPORTANT stuff...like Blogging....and Face-Booking.....and Twittering.... and writing on my books.......... and sleeping....and working a full time job......and well, the holidays are coming up and there's just so much to DO during the holidays....and....ummm.......
Yeaaaaaah, I just hate doing laundry more than anything else...even more than cleaning the bathroom.

I would PAY someone to come fold laundry for me. Seriously.

Anyone?

How Sweet Is THIS, I Ask You????...

CJ and his new Baby Sister, Audrianna.

Just Precious!!!!

What A LOAD!!!!

Okay so I'm sitting here just pissed off as hell after watching the Sex & The City 2 movie. It was pretty good up to the point where Carrie came home and......well...okay so here's the deal- if you havent seen it yet I'm gonna spoil it so you might wanna stop reading now.

Okay now that they're gone, here's the deal in a nutshell.... The Girls all go to some Arabic nation for some stupid reason not even important to the story. All that matters is that they are there- all with some stupid assed problem or another and while there, Carrie runs into Aiden who she used to be engaged to. They have dinner, they chat, and they end up having a brief kiss which Carrie decides to call and tell BIG about because ...I don't even fucking KNOW WHY to be honest. She's a dumbass and dumbasses just do stupid shit like that- it's exactly WHY they're called dumbasses...not just for the kiss but for compounding the mistake by hurting someone else just because they happen to feel guilty about doing such a dumbass thing. Anyway.....So she calls BIG, confesses what happened, and then a big "thing" happens and they all end up flying back home.
So she goes home, Big isn't there, and so she waits, phone in hand.
When he finally DOES come home- okay, get THIS- he pulls out a big assed fucking BLACK DIAMOND RING and tells her she must wear it every day to "remind" her that she is married.

You are FUCKING JOKING!!!!!
OMG- If my man is stupid enough to cheat on me- and YES KISSING IS CHEATING no matter what you say- Kissing someone OTHER THAN your spouse IS CHEATING FOR ME.....If he is also stupid enough to TELL me about it- he better not even think about falling asleep...probably would want to just stay somewhere else til(IF EVER) I did calm down. The LAST thing in the world he should expect is to receive a big expensive piece of jewelry as a FUCKING REWARD for CHEATING ON ME!

OMG- I really should NOT have watched that movie. I'm so mad I could spit nails right now!! It's no wonder people have such screwed up values these days with all that stupidity that is being pushed in the media these days.

"Owwww- I made a vow So never mind that you broke YOURS to me.... Tell ya what- here's a big old REWARD for screwing me over"........ What a LOAD OF HORSESHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a REWARD for ya Baby- It's called a 9mm up your cheating ass......................................

............Okay Rant over. Sorry bout that but it just...well...pissed me off. Stoopid Movie!

Welcome Baby Girl!!!

Proudly Announcing the Birth of ....

Helllooooooo Holiday Season!!!!!!

I had to do a double take on the way to work yesterday. The mall a couple of block from my job actually already has their Christmas wreaths on the sides of their buildings.
Okay- this is going to sound strange coming from ME- but OMG- are you EFFING KIDDING?? Christmas decorations should be put up no earlier than the day BEFORE Thanksgiving!!!! The last week of November...NOT the weekend before Halloween!!!!!

I'm so freaking annoyed at this crap. I know when I put up my decorations -if I'm going to do Thanksgiving Dinner at my house- I put up my Christmas tree the day before Thanksgiving...(well I used to- Now I put my tree up on Clay's Birthday-Dec 11), and put the lights on it Thanksgiving morning and then we all decorated it that night after dinner before the kids went home. Then, I put the Dept 56 Christmas Village up over the next three weeks. Yes, it takes THAT long to get it all up and just the way I want it. Paul did it for me one year tho and it looked totally awesome and totally different than the way I usually do it and I was so happy with it!!!

I'm just not looking forward to the holidays this year for some reason. Not at all.
I hope my mood improves as the month wears on......
