Good morning ladies. I got up to go to the bathroom around 5 and coming back to bed, tripped over the stupid cat who stopped dead in front of me in the bedroom. I wrenched the knee just a bit so it is too sore to try and go back to sleep so I just came downstairs.
Jean: My husband's paternal grandmother used to cook breakfast for us when we would drive through Mineral Wells on our way to see his parents in Las Cruces when we were young. We would visit with her and then stay the night and she would fix breakfast. She made terribly runny scrambled eggs, Tang, and tomato gravy! For breakfast!!! It was awful. You couldn't hurt the poor woman's feelings, but I just could not eat that gravy. The eggs were bad enough even though I eat over easy eggs. I noticed my mil, even though she died in her early 50's had gone downhill in the cooking department before she died. Hope I don't lose my touch too early or we will starve to death! lol
We did a Walmart run last night, ate a bite out and came home. I then worked up a menu and grocery shopping list for the next two weeks and I am off to the commissary today. You know how I love that, but it needs to be done. The commissary is closed on Mondays so it is today or tomorrow and I just want to get it done. Jack is going to get a haircut before we go and I need to try and get a couple things at Krogers that neither Walmart or th commissary carries. I hate having to run all over town for the stuff I need, but it usually ends up that way.
I have half of Thomas's stocking cap done and the sleeve about 4 rows from being done, then I can do the other one. I had to end up ordering a circular needle for the neckline of the sweater because they had you sewing up the shoulder seam and then trying to knit the neckline on and you can't do it. So, I am going to sew the other seam up and when the circ gets here, I will just pick up and knit the neckline stitches that way. I do great shoulder, sleeve and side seam sewing, but I really stink at the necks and don't know how to make myself better at it.
I guess I better get the morning chores done. I went upstairs last night after the Cubs started losing pretty badly and watched my Gidget CD and laughed hysterically at a couple of the episodes until Jack came to bed around midnight. I always loved Gidget when I was growing up, the movies and especially the tv shows. I really only liked the Gidget movies with Sandra Dee as Gidget and hunky James Darren as Moon Doggy, but I did like those. I have always been a Sandra Dee fan, especially the movies she made with her husband, Bobby Darren. I guess I have a "Darren" fixation! lol I saw James Darren several months ago in a picture as he was performing in Vegas and even being over 60 the man is still gorgeous and doesn't look like he has aged. What is it with men, anyway! lol
Have a nice weekend!
