Ghoulies HMs and margaritas (Page 27)

Do you mean they wanted to pull 8 adult teeth?

yep.

Wanna hear something totally, completely stoopid?

I have a former friend here in town. She is beautiful, amazingly talented at decorating and photography (to the extent she could make BIG bucks), she has a beautiful smart daughter, a beautiful smart step daughter, a nice husband. She is a thief. Evidently she has done little thefts he whole working life- cash from the till here and there. A few years ago, she had a great job at the local Inn being the event planner and decorating for weddings and other events. She stole from them, they (rightly) prosecuted. Jim and I stood up for her in court. She got suspended sentence and bail. Since then, she has stolen credit card names from the people (friends of hers) she cleaned cottages for (no prosecution though, they "felt bad for her"), Jim and I,  and then the restaurant she worked for (credit card fraud and money). They prosecuted. Now, she is sitting in the county jail, a couple of days before Christmas with no bail (and no one to pay the bail if they set one).

STOOPID to toss all of that away. She will lose custody of her child that she adores. STOOPID.

WHAT??!!??!!

The 9 teeth I had pulled were all baby teeth.

I frequently wonder to myself what the hell is wrong with people?

That is basically me.  I had two baby teeth pulled that had not come out.  Four adult teeth pulled, and then the four wisdom teeth.  The wisdom teeth were not pulled until 8 years later, but the other six were all done when I was in 8th grade.  I had braces from 8th through 11th grade.  Not fun.  Ask how many retainers I lost.  AND I still have a gap between my two front teeth. 

Yeah, it is raining today.  Happy happy day. 

Tonight I start putting up Christmas decorations in the house.  I think only one tree may go up, but we shall see.  It might be two, but it won't be three.  Maybe I just need to go and get another small tree for the one room that I won't be putting one up in.  Hmmmm.  That is a possibility.

Tomorrow I finish the decorations and then go and buy a xmas present for our Rotary exchange student.  I'm not feeling the love with this student like I have others in the past as he has blown our club off several times now.  Dude, we are paying for your year at school, what's up with that?

Um... totally unacceptable.

So an appointment calendar would be an appropriate gift. with the dates for meetings marked in it

A date with Kendra on top!

I vote for 2 trees today and one tomorrow!

It is starting to rain here, then tomorrow comes the winds. YUCK. I HATE wind. gusts to 50 MPH! YUCK!

Nice

Good morning!

Another wind & rain storm last night.  I know several people with roof damage from the one Sunday night.  Fortunately not us.

Long day today.  Work, Haircut, then rehearsal for church.  Home about 9 tonight.

Good one!

Come up here. You can keep my company while I work from home. Then we can go grab some lunch, and finish my shopping.

I have absolutely NO desire to be at work today. I have nothing to do, which is probably good because I am very distracted thinking about everything I need to get done in the next few days.

That's not good. There's a storm battering the south right now, too. I think there's heavy snow in parts of the country, too. Stay safe everyone!

2 1/2 cups whole wheat or barley flour

2 eggs

1 CUP canned pumpkin

3 Tablespoons peanut butter

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Oven 350*

Stir together dry ingredients.  Separate bowl, whisk eggs, pumpkin, and peanutbutter.  Add egg mixture to flour mixture and knead thoroughly.  Add more flour as needed to make a stiff, dry dough.  (Add small amounts of water if needed to make it workable.)  Roll dough to half-inch thickness and cut with knife or cookie cutters.

Bake about 40 minutes, or until hard & dry.  Store in airtight container.

Hope your dog likes them!  You can always throw them out for the wild critters or gift them to the neighbors dog!

I would love to. BUT, the kid just came home so I am going to stay here and visit. She hates wind too, so we can whine together!

Mobile, AL is getting hammered right now. There are lots of tornado warnings for the south, too.

She can come along, more hands to wrap presents. There may be a bottle of chocolate wine somewhere in the house, too, along with 5 other bottles of wine.

Thanks Dee. I'll try them this weekend. If my dog doesn't like them... GIFTS for my friends with pups.

I don't mind the wind when I am at home, but if I am at work and it rains with the wind, then the roof leaks.  The wind blows the rain under the tiles and then we have rain inside.  Cool! (not)
