Randomness~~~

Odds and ends to share.....

Never.. never.. NEVER...

Hand your camera to SF

and say

"Please hold this..."

[Especially when you are being not so graceful]

[but I made it!]

This is SF when he is hankering for chocolate.....

[oh and sex]

I know I've been good but this is how I felt today.....

My life in a nutshell....

I will be baking lemon tarts and planning a picnic

for a hiking trip that will be taking place Saturday

if all goes as planned. A long overdue day with SF and nature.

Also have a girlfriend's birthday celebration to prepare for

Patience~Post 500!!

I could write a long and drawn out detailed memoir of my day For my 500TH post~~~

But it was really cold and my fingers are still numb.

I for sure will have a visit from my Uncle Arthur

this eve so I will instead share a Public service announcement...

TAKE HEED!!

The greatest secret of life --

knowing when to do what,

kinda like the song says,

'you gotta know when to hold em know when to fold em'

Sometimes it just pays to be patient.....

Tamales!

Sorry the process is so messy

and I was trying to get them assembled

before son showed..

So didn't get the mixing and wrapping

pics

{just one big messy lump of masa lol}

But alas he couldn't make it due to the weather..

Into the steamer they go!

Just right!

My corn and green chile ones turned out PERFECT...

but my chicken and onion ones were...

well

bland... bla

bleck

Won't make those again lol

but the mango sauce turned out good

Will def make that again for just plain grilled chicken!

Good dogs!!

My furfaces were SUCH good babies today...

They actually remembered it was Sunday

and let me sleep til 7!!

I think they may have peeked out

the window and saw that it was snowing again.

Maybe they didn't have to pee THAT bad and

could wait a bit for breakfast?

Needless to say I will NOT be mowing today

Maybe I better put some pants on and go

put away the push mower...No fence edge mowing today!

As I sit here and watch "cheesey porn"

I am learning how to make churros...

You have to love fried dough... one of the simple pleasures

SF asks me "Hey! Not too good for your carb cutting is it??"

SF?? Bite me I can watch!

Middle son will be coming later today so I am off to make

one of his favs...

TAMALES!

The Grand, the Good and the Frustrating~~

The Grand ...the Good... and the Frustrating~~

Haven't had a whole lot of stuff going on in the House of Cheese lately...

But I had a "party on" moment yesterday that was also VERY frustrating...

I have been trying very hard to get my winter weight under control the last couple of months...

and have been successful!

As I folded my laundry Friday morning I looked up and saw my summer uniform hanging in the laundry...

On a whim I took down the skort and tried it on....

AND IT FIT!

Now last week it was teetering on and actually hit 70....

But yesterday it was cold and rainy...So not a shorts kind of day...

And today???

Guess it's more days of baggy pants and a cinched up belt~~~

[But I am still going to High 5 myself!]

Friday favorite~~

My favorite Joke of the Week!!

The Pope and Hillary

The Pope and Hillary Clinton were on the same stage in front of a huge crowd. However, both of them have been in front of crowds before, so, to make this time more interesting, Hillary said to the Pope, 'Did you know that with just one little wave of my hand I can make every Democrat in the crowd go wild?' He said, ' O. K., show me.' She waved. Sure enough, every Democrat in the crowd cheered wildly. The cheering then subsided as quickly as it started.

The Pope, not to be outdone by such arrogance, thought about what he could do to answer her stunt. 'That was impressive,' the Pope said, 'but did you know that with just one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go crazy with joy? What's more, this joy will not be a momentary display like that of your people, but will go deep into the hearts of this crowd. They will forever speak of this day, and they will rejoice.' The senator doubted this, of course, and said with a smirk, 'One little wave of your hand and all people will rejoice forever? Show me.'

So the Pope slapped her...

No Words Wednesday

Tuesdays Are Taxing...

My horrible-scope made me grin today...

Your Horoscope for APRIL 15, 2008

This is a great day to develop any latent [wonder if they mean't latex talents?] talents you've been wanting to explore, CHEESY, particularly those involving the arts. You might want to try your hand by working with friends who have the same talent, and this could lead not only to some good advice but bring the two of you closer as well. However, this isn't a good day to deal with practical paperwork, so let that sort of thing go for a little while.

Good thing I already did my taxes, eh??

I wish all of you you haven't done yours yet..

PEACEFUL BREATHS

"People who complain about taxes can be divided into two classes:

men and women."

"It's tax time. I know this because I'm staring at documents that make no sense to me, no matter how many beers I drink."

-- Dave Barry

"Earlier today, the White House released President Bush's tax return. Not surprisingly, under dependents, the president listed Iraq."

--Conan O'Brien

This just made me SMILE!!

I got this in an email today but I can't seem to inbed video..

damned bailing wire dial-up---

It's just too freakin' cute....

Filtered Light

Breathe your sighs

between my open lips...

Isn't it funny how the

time spins away when

we're entwined by the fine line between passion

and

insanity?

The sun shines through

a crack in the curtains,

lighting the space that

was filled

by you -

like a spotlight on an empty stage.

I turn toward the light,

seeking warmth,

and patiently wait

for the scene to

unfold.

I miss you already~~~

THE STORY

An attractive blonde arrived at the casino and bet twenty thousand dollars on a single roll of the dice. She said, 'I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I'm completely nude'.

With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and yelled, 'Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!'

As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed...'YES, YES, I WON, I WON!'

She hugged each of the dealers and then picked up her winnings and her clothes and quickly departed.

The dealers stared at each other dumb founded. Finally, one of them asked,'What did she roll?'

The other answered, 'I don't know - I thought you were watching'

MORAL OF THE STORY

Not all blondes are dumb,

But all men are men!

On that note in about an hour my girlfreind C. and I

are going to go visit our Indian friends

at the casino..

I am not blonde......

But C. is!!!

DANG IT

To make it stand,

You wet it !

To make it wet,

You suck it !

To make it stiff,

You lick it !

To get it in,

You push it!

Damn !!!!!!!

Threading a needle when you're older is a BITCH!
