Can’t get anything done when the husbands home

by

My husband is home and stuck inside today since it’s snowing outside. So he’s on the computer working on his blogs and well … to put it simply he’s driving me nuts!

Every few minutes he interrupts me from whatever I’m doing to ask me a question. It could be a question about how to spell something, or how to do something on his blog or on the computer or how to search for something. I’ll just be starting to go over my email or starting to write a post on one of my blogs and he’ll ask me a question about something or wonder what nike wrestling shoes are or something to that effect.

I’m starting to think that I might as well just turn on the TV, and find some good movies to watch whenever my husband is home and working on the computer because I can’t get much done when he’s trying to “work”.





Liked the first turkey so much I’m cooking another

by

My house is filled with the smell of a roasting turkey. Yep … I’m cooking the first turkey of the new year.

Yeah … I’m cooking again! I cooked a turkey just before Christmas – on December 23rd – I called it my Festivus Turkey and now I guess this is my “after” New Year turkey.

The truth is … we actually enjoy eating turkey (I brined this one so it should be extremely moist) and I bought the turkey at a good price (15 pounder for about 12 bucks) and since my husband was on temporary lay off from work for the last two weeks of December we’re on a tight budget. Eating two turkeys for three or four weeks is fine with us if it saves us money … and hey … turkey is good for you, isn’t it?

Now if that darn new internal thermometer alarm would stop going off early I could get some work done. I’m trying to install an update for my scanner software but the thermometer that I put in the turkey leg keeps going off … even though the turkey hasn’t been in the oven long enough (well it probably has now, but when it was only in the oven for 30 minutes I new that was too soon!).

Do you ever eat turkey when it’s not a holiday meal? I mean like us – in January?

Did you make any New Year resolutions?

Happy New Year!

So … did any of you brave souls make any new year resolutions? Have you managed to keep them up to day three of the new year or have you broken them already?

I didn’t really make any resolutions. If I did at all it would have been to go to be earlier. I’m a chronic night owl and I’m sure I’d feel a little better overall if I’d just go to bed an hour or two earlier each night. IF that was my resolution it’s broken already … I went to bed very late on the first night of the year, but I’ve been doing better the last two nights, maybe it will work.

I did managed to quit smoking in October (October 12th!) and yes, I’m still not smoking. Going on three months … so that’s going well. That’s a big resolution that people tend to make at the start of the new year, I guess I made mine early when the pressure wouldn’t be on me.

One of my friends vowed to lose weight. 15 pounds before spring! I think she’s looking for a weight loss supplement but I know that just watching what you eat and stepping up your activity really does help.

So … let me know if you made any new year resolutions and if you’ve managed to stick to them so far.

Ready for Christmas

by

Well I think we’re all set for Christmas. We’d better be! It’s almost 8 pm on Christmas eve and the stores are closed! If I’m no ready it’s too late!

I was just talking with a friend on the phone, wishing her a merry Christmas as I won’t be seeing her over the holidays and we were talking about our plans for Christmas day and so on.

She told me about the gift she got her nieces – it’s birthstone jewelry for kids! She bought a birthstone ring for one of her nieces and a charm bracelet for the other one. I thought that was a great idea. As I said we’re ready for Christmas and we bought gifts for the kids already, but if I’d thought of something like this before getting gifts I might have bought something like this for one of my nieces myself.

So … are you ready for Christmas and everything else that goes along with the holidays? Are you cooking a big meal or traveling to someone’s house to enjoy dinner? Tell me all about it.

Our absent neighbors

by

I was just thinking that we haven’t seen our new neighbors in a couple of weeks. Can you believe they haven’t even moved in yet? They bought the house next door in April or maybe early May and here in is near the end of December – 8 months later and we barely ever see them.

Still … it’s a big change from our old renter neighbors! I’m so glad they don’t live next to use any more. If they still lived next to us not only would we still be hiding behind locked screened doors (not just locked doors) but we’d have a few security cameras up around the house too. Those people were scary nasty!

I guess what I’m saying is that the new neighbors that actually own the house next door are a huge improvement over the criminal renter neighbors – even if we never see them. It’s not that bad that we don’t see them really … apparently they’re off at parties every weekend. My only fear is that once they actually move in they might start having parties in their house every weekend.
