Election day.… I am so glad it’s finally over, that I really don’t want to watch the returns…. Surprise me tomorrow.

     Don’t call me and try to convince me I should vote for your candidate today, or for that matter, all night last night.  I’ve made up my mind.  (Romney managed to hit us twenty times during our dinner last night and at least three times an hour up to two a.m.)  Lucky for him, the calls were robotic and not human.  I pity any human who could’ve called me by the end of that dinner hour, even more so, the one a.m. caller.  They would have had an earful of the choicest of cuss words strung together most creatively and telling them where to stick their candidate… 

     Note to candidates in the NEXT election who want my vote:  Don’t spend money driving me crazy with phone calls and TV ads, Don’t lie to me—I am not stupid or uninformed, and most of all keep away from mud-slinging.

     You all have a good one!  Don’t forget to vote.

 

Scrambled brain cells?

     I managed to write a couple of pages today.  However, hours later, after re-reading them, I deleted over half of what I wrote.  It seems as though my writing is two steps forward and three steps back all the time as of late.

     I don’t feel as though it is a case of over editing either.  It’s more like ‘how in the world could you write such crap?’ syndrome.  I can’t believe how awful my writing is lately.  It makes me wonder if it is the medications I’m on causing a short-circuit in my brain.  I do stop another one in two weeks, when the pills run out.  I hope it is the one that has my brain scrambled.

     As it is, I’ll keep struggling to get something on the pages.

     You all have a good one!

Let sleeping dogs lie…

     I love it when the pups dream.  Gavin will often do puppy barks in his sleep.  He has, on at least one occasion, howled in his sleep.  That was hysterical.  He didn’t wake himself but he sure woke up Patty.

     Patty doesn’t say much at any time and during sleep she’s no different.  However, her tail wags and her feet run against the side of the crate when she’s asleep.  She also snores louder than Gavin.

     Then there are the snores emanating from a certain lounge chair…. Yep, The Curmudgeon fell asleep in his chair again.  I’m not going to wake him.  Would you?

     You all have a good one!

What is comfort food for you?

     Some days you want a simple dinner and nothing fancy.  That was us last night.  Comfort food.  I made grilled cheese with bacon sandwiches and cream of tomato soup.  We couldn’t believe how well it hit the spot for us.

     We had so many large and somewhat fancy dinners all week, that was a nice change.  Fewer dishes to wash made it real nice after having to wash many dishes and pots and pans all week.

     I am sorely tempted to make simple meals all weekend to give me a break. 

     Comfort food, I think we all crave it most at this time of year.  What is comfort food for you?

     You all have a good one!

Can anyone help?

Sending good vibes to all our neighbors who are worse off than we are…

   As we watch news reports on all the devastation Sandy the Frankenstorm wrought, we count our blessings.  Please keep those who were hard hit in you thoughts and prayers.

     We lost a few tree branches, had some minor fence damage, and had some water in the basement.  We got off easy.

     You all have a good one.
