It's been 10 days since Frappe's last post. Do we need to worry????
Kiwi, your DD must make you soooo proud. Good for her.
Chocolate consumed willy nilly? Sugar, is there any other way!!!? Don't apologize too much. Difficult women go so much further in life. Besides, the DH probably deserves it, and the DS's need the practice for future relationships.

Please note the pants on this guy. I told DD I was going to send that to my mother for Easter and she informed me that she would not get it. hmmm I suppose she's right.
I'm so excited -- I finally got tickets for my second evening out in NY (the first is Fiddler on the Roof). We got great seats for Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater. I think it will be a hoot. It's a second round show, people who were at least pretty good the first time around. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing... But I don't care, I'm psyched. Now I'm looking for a club or restaurant type music; maybe this old guy who plays clarinet in an Italian restaurant, dixieland etc. But there's also a show at The Continental that appeals to DD and me -- I think everyone else would take a pass. hmmm
I've done absolutely nothing toward the dreaded Easter dinner. Although I want that maple pork roast recipe (or do you just pour maple syrup over it and roast it? ) -- DH wants me to make pot roast, but that just does not fit my vision of Easter no way no how. We could have a leg of lamb, but I'm afraid it would end up fatty and everybody would pick at it and I would feel like crap. I need a guaranteed success (of course the most obvious thing is the spiral sliced ham, but I can't do that again apparently). Anyway, I have to also clean out the kitchen so we can actually eat at the table. I almost got it cleaned off yesterday. Then I quit. I hate cleaning. Somebody come do it for me.
Hope things are looking up, Sugar. I am ashamed to say I haven't exercised since last Thursday. I have no excuse whatsoever.
Yes, DD has loads of chutzpah. Thanks for the comments.
i am so tired of not being able to work this message thingy---i can only do ONE thing at a time---size or color or font----i don't know how to work them together-----WHAT is wrong with me????????Kiwi is the only one who can explain it-----how can i find your post explaining it!!!!hahahahaanyway----for the pork roast---you brown it on all sides in oil and then you add a third cup of maple SYRUP to the pan after you take out the roast {get rid of the oil} add a dash of cayenne,a dash of cinnamon and heat it for about thirty seconds ---until it all bubble up--------------and stick the roast back in the pan and swish it all over with the maple syrup---------------put the roast in a roaster pan and pour the syrup over it=====roast at 325 and every now and then swish the roast around in the syrup------------probably no different than glazing a ham==============it was very tasty===my favourite magazine is Cooks Illustrated---------------very informative ---they have a website as wellwww.cooksillustrated.comKIWI I LOVED THE CARTOON WITH MY LITTLE PEEPERS!!!!!
I never found out what the pope said about hockey.....
I am a lethargic sloth... tho' that must be redundant. A FAT lethargic sloth. Guess I'm not feeling all that great. Sort of out of sorts with spring. My spring has sprung, etc.
Would like to go whine and pig out with chicken bones or just plain Sees.
Ok. Instead, I'll do some paperwork and see if I can improve my attitude a notch... and reach "self-righteous b**ch". It might be an improvement.
YEAH PAINTY---MUST BE THE SEASON---I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THE BLUES ALL WEEK AND today a five year old was killed by a SCHOOL BUS he walked in front of instead of getting on it----for some reason he was able to do that-----WHY wasn't someone holding his hand???i am sick about it-----------------------------the weather is cold and rainy/snowy and grey and my daughters are all stressed out over midterms in highschool and exams at university---------------blahhhhhhhhhhhhh-----depressed cranky is not as fun as MAD cranky.----i will get in on you and sugar's group hug,kay???
Way to go, Sugar! I haven't climbed back on the exercise wheel yet.
Feel better, Painty. I'm fat and lazy, but not cranky today. I'm gonna get cranky in a minute here though if I can't get my *&%$ printer going.
That's horrible about the little kid, Bagz. How could the driver not have been looking out for him? What a nightmare.
Here's the thing about the font and color etc. They are sort of nested. I usually choose them in this order: Font-Size-Color, because I usually change colors throughout the post. That way when you want to change color, you can hit "Close Current Tag" and it will close the color only, you can then choose a new color. If you don't hit the close button, but try to hit a color, it will close the color tag instead and you have choose to color again. Be sure to hit "Close All Tags" at the end.
Kiwi is so smart, how did you get so smart?Now I can do something new with my postsand I won't be so boring.Well, I'll still be boring, but my posts won't be. I'm just trying to make it throught this week. I had to have my boobie re-smashed because they wanted to look at the "suspicious" area again. Then, of course, I will be gaining another year this week. I'm holding on until BUNCO on Saturday, when I plan on drinking plenty of whatever is served. I'm not counting WW points on that day, no way. Bagzie, that is terrible news about that poor baby. Poor bus driver too, can you imagine living with the horror of that your whole life? Some days I hate to turn on the news.I'm going for a pedicure after work. At least that will be one hour that I won't be eating anything, and I just feel the need for some pampering. DH is going fishing after work (the salmon are running- who-hoo!) and to tell you the truth, I was happy to see him go. Sometimes I get tired of taking care of everybody. You know, that man expects to eat dinner every day??? Does anyone have a way to inquire after our little Frappe's health? I'm getting worried.

This is so cool. That Kiwi is such a smart girl. I have had a headache all week. I never used to get headaches. Do you think it's THE CHANGE?????????? We had a wailin' party on Sat night.One teen dream walked into my house and said, [FONT=Georgia]"Gee, Lohaniette, your house is so clean." Do you think I'll have to have another fire to make the fire cleaning people come and disinfect my house again????????/ Wabby, when can I come to Bunco?
Sugar, you are an inspiration. Painty, I'm cranky, too.Kiwi, as you see, I took your advice seriously. Bagzie, How can accidents like that happen? Why dont' they have the proper equipment on these buses. They have it on construction equipment.....cameras for blind spots...alarms when approaching objects...etcThat's enough of that.
Good morning lovelies!!!! I'm working on having a better attitude. Lush, you are welcome at BUNCO anytime. Now that I've had a pedicure I feel much better. I also went to Old Navy and bought myself a bunch of summer t shirts and stuff. When summer finally hits, I'm going to be ready!!!! I don't have anything to say, but it's so much fun to say it with all these colors and fonts and stuff. Kiwi has created a monster!!!!!Yes, Lush, every ailment known to womankind can be attributed to menopause. No one would ever make that clean house comment to me. Once DS's friend said "I love messy houses. They're so comfortable." Bwaaaaahhhh! Who would vote for Condoleeza Rice for President? She's the only one in the current administration that sounds like she has anything between her ears.
I'm glad I could help Now who's coming over here to help me get this house in shape before Sunday? I haven't done anything yet. I'm beginning to panic (but even in the midst of panic, I am able to calmly ignore the whole mess and play on the computer).

Well, exactly! Now, if this whole cooking thing only happened once or twice a week, wouldn't that be much better for everyone? My DH is going to someone's house to watch the big exciting college hockey game his alma mater is playing in. Well, now, I like hockey pretty well, but I'm not driving another hour (after driving DD to music lessons) just to watch TV. No, thank you. I'll just stay home and nibble on a chicken leg.
I am horrified at my total lack of exercise for an entire week. Again today. Maybe I'll get a walk in later this afternoon, but sheesh, this is bad. I haven't lost an ounce since I started exercising (even when I stopped ). I'm quite hopeless I'm afraid. NYC will take one look at me and make me sit in the back on the subway car.
Did I tell you I spent yesterday on a bus with a bunch of teenagers going to a concert? That was fun... The only real drawback was that my back is killing me from sitting on those awful seats. The kids were perfectly fine and the concert was very good. They even fed us a decent meal (lasagna! brownies!) How come Peaches isn't here? I usually don't get a chance to post on her day off, but here I am and she's not! No fair!

No doubt. But must she scowl all the time? All those pictures of her recently are scary. Come to think of it, I'd be scowling too if I were in her shoes. The worst thing I can say about her is that she joined this vile administration in the first place.
Later, gators. Must try to do something before taxi duty begins.

I'm not so nuts about Condi. I have no doubt that she is the most upright in this administration..but that isn't saying much. AND please don't be fooled. These good ole boys may look dumb, but they've chuckled and gaffawed their way to every single thing they've wanted including the theft of the 2000 election. Did you really want to get me started????
Now, on to happier thoughts. I am on Easter vacation for the next week. I'm happy about this. I"m having ham and candy for Easter dinner. I'm not inviting any relatives. Isn't that great??????
I full-out grocery shopped today. We have tons of food around here. If I wanted to, I could stay in the house for days and never have to leave...of course, the kids will drive me nuts long before that. Maybe I'll try to exercise every day of my vacation. Wouldn't that be good? I'll start tomorrow. I'll do one of Kiwi's sigs so that I can feel good about it. I'll be back. L
Sorry Lush, didn't mean to get you going...... DH left work early again.... he's fishing again. I'm stuck here at work again. Oh well. At least I don't cook when he goes fishing after work.I haven't shopped like that for ages, Lush, but I do have most of my Easter basket candy bought. At what age do I stop this???? I mean children's age, not mine.
But I don't care, I'm psyched. Now I'm looking for a club or restaurant type music; maybe this old guy who plays clarinet in an Italian restaurant, dixieland etc. But there's also a show at The Continental that appeals to DD and me -- I think everyone else would take a pass. hmmm
