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?

Another shopping trip

by

I’m just waiting for my husband to get home from work and then we’re going out shopping.

I need to go to Costco tonight. I saw my family doctor yesterday for a regular appointment but while I was there I told her about how I’ve been so very very cold lately as well as extremely tired and she seems to think that I might have Seasonal Affective Disorder. I think it’s my thyroid acting up … especially since my symptoms totally fit hypothyroidism and only partially fit S.A.D. but the light might be worth getting to help fix my sleep cycle if nothing else.

Anyway .. while we’re out shopping I might take a look at the women’s apparel section of the store … or perhaps talk my husband into going to another nearby store if I can. I need new clothes – badly! Everything I own is loose on me, I desperately need new pants, new tops, new sweaters and so on.

Plus .. who doesn’t love a shopping spree? LOL

My husband helps with the cleaning – sometimes

by

Does your husband help around the house? Mine does.

I know … I might be quite lucky.

Chris was home this past Monday and he really helped me out by doing a lot of vacuuming. He vacuumed the whole house, plus he vacuumed the duct work – well as far as he could reach into each air register.

All the vacuuming started when he noticed how much dust was on the fan blades of one of our ceiling fans so he pulled out the vacuum so he could get the dust off more easily and the rest of the cleaning just naturally followed.

The house is so much cleaner after all the work my husband did too .. especially now that the duct work is clean!

So … does your husband ever help out around the house? Does he clean?

Just a lazy Friday night

by

I’m feeling lazy tonight. I’m watching TV with my husband and as you can probably tell if you read my last post I’m feeling a little lazy .. I don’t want to cook dinner.

I taped the movie The Runaways last night and we’re watching it now. It just got to the part where the band was in Japan and Dakota Fanning as Cherie came out in lingerie on the stage. It’s the beginning of the end for Cherie I think. Good movie so far.

I grew up with the music of the Runaways and Joan Jett so the movie is bring back some memories.
