Musings of This,That and Other Things

Why can't people on the TV shows shut the doors when they walk in somewhere?? It bugs me to no end and,yes,I get it's quite trivial.
But they never. shut.the.stupid.door. and they get caught or get dead.
Just shut the frikken door already.
Yeah yeah, I hear you...going to get a life now.

So hubby and I went out to a restaurant on the recommendation of his bandaid at work. ( medic on the pipeline) She gushed about this place. 
We didn't finish either of our meals. My salad was limp from too much dressing. (one of my biggest pet peeves) and his steak would of done a shoemaker proud. He commented to her the next day, 'Good thing we're married otherwise she would of left me sitting there.' 
Truth.
And um Bandaid? Raise your bar a tad. 


(Little) Bitch, Please. 
If you are above us in this class, then by all means, there's the door. Don't let it hit you in your oddly shaped ass on the way out, mmkay? Oh, and honey? - those are not legs, those are sticks. 


See me laugh as I drive by you parked on the side of the road, the flashing red blue lights dancing off your tailgate. Pardon me while I gloat a bit.. it feels good after you cut me off, sped through and crossed lanes in the middle of the intersection. Yes, your truck is bigger but your brain isn't. I hope the several tickets he's issuing you hurts. They are well deserved, Asshat.


I was watching rain drops line up and run across the jeep window the other day as we were driving. It reminded me of when I was younger and would imagine those drops to be a symphony being played out. ( Dad listened to classical music ) Or children racing each other across the playground. I'd be rooting for the little raindrop guy, hoping he'd pull ahead and win the race. I'd have entire conversations going too.. 
Yeah, I'm just talented that way. 


Did I ever tell you about the six million dollars I almost won?
Missed it one by. one. facking. number. 
Yup.One little teeny tiny square over.  
My MIL cried, I literally just shrugged my shoulders and hubby took us on a trip with what we did win. ( 3500.00)
It wasn't meant to be.
But ohhh as I sit here in the frozen tundra of Western Northern Canada while the snow and wind play havoc with any that dare to test the day, I think back to that moment. :-/


Me, 4 a.m as my 4 yr old grand baby tries to sneak into my bed:  
Why are you sneaking into Nammie's bed? 
She who is wise beyond her years : Because I love you?  
You play dirty warfare, kiddo. 


What about you, my bloggy friends, what are your musings of the day?

Wordless Wednesday- Ice Ice Baby

For Today

For Today

Outside my window...

I'm looking at the disappointment of our first snow. Old man Winter, you want me to like what you bring? Then you should of made it a big flaky snow. The kind that dresses the drab of autumn done-pre winter grays. I would of been happy to take the camera and record your arrival. 

I am thinking...

or trying to.
Nope. Nada. Ziltch. No thoughts worth mentioning today. 

I am thankful for...
Hubby. For reasons to numerous to list. Well maybe one day soon, I'll try work up a list of sorts. But for now suffice it to say he keeps me sane. He really does.

From the Kitchen...

I will make Double Chocolate Almond cookies. Yeah, the kind that you need to have a moment alone with.  

I am wearing...
old gray sweats, older gray hoodie and huge black and pink slippers with black pom-poms. Yeah,that's right, I'm bringing sexy back, bitches. 

I am creating...

nada, nufins, ziltch. To go along side of what I'm thinking.  

I am going...

to kick my own ass in a four minute metabolic training work-out.  I'm going to lay down for 10 and get up and do it all over again. I'm really hoping this will help combat the Christmas eating I'm planning on doing..? 8 minutes is better than zero, right? ;-)

I am reading...

three books. I always read one before starting another.  Attention span of a gnat lately. Pffhht. 

I am hoping...

for inspiration to come up and smack me upside the head. It's been somewhat blah served up with a side of boring, garnished on top with meh!  

I am hearing...

my stomach growling. Geeze,what's it's frikken problem anyways? I fed you coffee first thing, didn't I? 

Around the house...

I am preparing for my youngest daughter and grand-baby to move back in. Again. Third time. Checking on my wine reserves.. Yup, lookin' goooood. 

One of my favorite things...

Why do I always hear Julie Andrews on this question?

A few plans for the week...
Celebrating my first born's 24th birthday mid week. I have always given them choice of a meal. This year it's looking like home made French Onion soup and Escargots. And yes, the french add white wine to soup. ( well hell, we add it to almost everything if you really wanna/gotta know )  Boo Ya.

Here is a picture for thought I am sharing...

The birthday beauty ♥

Open Letters

Dear Stupid
I understand there's no medication to help you with your lack of intelligence, such is your problem. Pardon me if I refuse to engage in a battle of smarts. It's like knocking one's head against a stone pillar. The pillar doesn't understand. And well.. neither do you. 
Signed, 
I think the Pillar's smarter.

Dear Fellow Grocery Shopper, 
It's all good to flirt with me in the fungi section, I suppose it's a better place than the pharmaceutical section...?
Signed,
Colour me Complimented.. I think?


Dear Barometer Headache,
Really? Seven days and counting? You suck.
Signed, 
Go away, go far far away.


Dear Newton, 
I'm sorry I couldn't say goodbye. My heart was ripping out of my chest and you were not supposed to see me cry. Much love and big smothering hugs, beautiful dog. 
Signed,
Me


Dear Hubby, 
You low down, two timing, good for nothing piece of useless hope you get an incurable std and your dick rots off taking you to the cleaners for shits and giggles loser.
You're lucky this was just a dream. 
Signed, 
Your loving wife  :-) 


Dear Papau New Guinea Coffee
I love you. You are the reason some people live.
Signed,
Coffee: Never leave home without it.


Dear Kids TV show Characters,
Die already.
Signed,
Not into Creepy little Freaks


Dear Dogs, 
I'm leaving for the weekend and NOT taking you. Pardon my excitement at not having too pick up your poop,listen to your ear splitting barks, watch you eat your regurgitated supper,look at you lick unmentionable parts of yourself or smell your disgusting flatulence issues.
Signed, 
Dog Free Me Yipeee!


Dear Jehovah Witnesses, 
Not about to engage in a discussion about God with you. You have your way and this Catholic has hers. I've been told by enough Christians I'm perpetually wrong, I won't be forgiven, I won't make it through the gates blah blah blah. I don't begrudge them their beliefs nor will I yours. But for pity's sake, don't look at me like I'm the devil's spawn when I refuse your publications or when I shut the door decisively in your face. You people really can be pushy.
Signed, 
Just not that into you.
