Boss Lady

Here I am 52 years old and my boss is a 2 year old that's in a foul mood today. Typically her disposition is pleasant and she's fairly easy to accommodate. But today she has a scratchy throat, running nose, a low grade fever, and she's a bear! She has me thinking of quitting this gig since I've held this position many times before. So far this morning she's been relaxing in bed while holding the remote tightly as she surfs through the channels. However, during the process she continually summons me just to scream, "I want Elmo!" As I explain to her that Elmo isn't on yet, and as I proceed to leave the room, she yells, "Turn it off!" Mind you she is still controlling the remote. I ask her to hand me the remote so I can grant her wish on turning the TV off, and she quickly says, " Don't talk to me!' As I'm explaining to her that she's being rude and isn't allowed to talk to grandma like that. She politely says to me, "Shut the door." I believe that's code for don't let it hit your ass on the way out.

    Haha! Just wait for her to be a teenager! I believe this is just the birth control I need, thank you.

      Maybe I should take her to High Schools... she might help drop the teen pregnancy rate.

I left early this morning to get some shopping done, and I have to be honest - not ready to be sold on Christmas  I know it's the way retail works - I put many years into that industry, but I truly hate how overly commercialized Christmas is. They brainwash people and kids into thinking they have to have the newest and best of everything, and most people buy into the lie.  But what about the kids that their parents can't fall into the trap because financially they just can't do it. Are they made fun of or shunned by their peers because they don't have the newest clothes, gadgets, or toys?  Do they feel inferior or not worthy enough to receive - according to the advertisers you have to have it. It's not fair or right and I hate it!                                                               I think we all need to ...

When I saw this I thought what a perfect gift for my husband. You see he bought me a television for the bedroom years ago and hung it on the wall before most people were hanging them on the wall. Of course with the TV came a remote - so it's my remote, right?  Really the only time he touches it is when I lose it - (which I do daily) he seems to be the one that always finds it so I think wrapping the remote and letting him use it for a day with some candy attached is perfect! I hope I can actually give it up for a day - he's not a fan of Bravo or HGTV.   http://willowbirdbaking.com/2012/04/25/gooey-chocolate-skillet-cake-ice-cream-sundae/  Also, I came across this cake which is pretty much the same recipe as my Texas Sheet Cake. I just never thought of baking it in my cast iron skillet and digging the center out to fill with ice cream... yum! We're all a fan of chocolate so this might make the Father's Day dessert list. Yesterday I put a cheesecake recipe up th...

Friendship Day

HAPPY NATIONAL FRIENDSHIP DAY! Those that know me well know that I'm not big on all of these designated days, unless of course it's National Wine Day; but friendship was already on my mind before I realized what day it was. I have a small circle of friends because my friendships are extremely important to me. I value them and I never take the relationship for granted. I know that my friends are one of God's many blessings to me - I'm grateful for each and everyone of them. Here's what being my friend boils down to: There's certain expectations that I have with my friends - unspoken but known. Such as trust & honesty. I want to be able to share my life, both good and bad without worry of it being repeated. I want them to be honest with me regardless if I want to hear it or accept it. If I messed up tell me, because I'm sure going to tell you. I hate being too serious - I love having random conversations that make me laugh. I have a sense of hu...
