COMPANY AND PASTA MIX!!!!

 Stan and Antonia and their poodle doodle of some sort were here for one night.  I decided to make pasta for dinner.  She loves pasta passionately but Stan doesn't really eat it.  It sure wasn't on our roster growing up.  Dad liked potatoes so no rice or pasta.  And Stan definitely prefers that.

But Antonia loves pasta and they don't eat it very often.  I decided to make two pastas.  One was my old tried and true meat forward spaghetti sauce and spaghettini.  The other was a brand new aha! type recipe.  You make a layer of cherry tomatoes in 9x13 size casserole dish and you nestle two Boursin cheeses in it.  Then you bake it til the cherry tomatoes start to burst.

Well the spaghetti was delicious.  The other not so much.  I mixed it with rigatoni pasta like the recipe said and boy was that the wrong pasta.  It overwhelmed the delicate sauce.  Ange and I didn't care for the taste either.  Stan and Antonia didn't eat much of it but went back for seconds of the spaghetti.  But Monte freaking loved the rigs.  Loved them.  Thank goodness cuz there were tons leftover and almost no spaghetti!

The pharmacist visit was way better than I ever expected.  Ever!!!! They immediately made an account for me and took all my meds info and connected me to Avi tele doctors.  And then made me an appointment for a phone consult the next morning at nine with a dr.  He phoned right on time asked a couple of questions and sent a three month (there max) to the new pharmacy and ended the phone call with 'talk to you in three months!'  I walked out of there on air!!! I am so happy and relieved.  No more panicking near the end of my prescription deliveries.  That pharmacy is in the same building as Monte's office so he will just bring them home to me when they are ready.  win win

Now I am going to clean my house.  I was up at 5:30 this morning so I very quietly cleaned the kitchen.  Now it's dining room and guest room.

That was yesterday.  Now it is the next morning.  I was awake all night out in my chair watching Blue Heelers on Acorn tv....best streaming station ever.  I was also making lists and decisions about xmas.  It is going to be a turkey dinner after all.  Easier than a bunch of finger foods and appies.  Also xmas eve is so important to our family.  So we are all contributing to that.  Even though it's just the three of us I think it is pretty important to keep the traditions going. 

 So Monte rolled home at six this morning with my fave breakfast from McD's...a McGriddle and orange cranberry muffin...still warm.  I am off low carb right at the moment thank goodness!!!  I am sitting up in my bed, chowing down on awesome food, blogging and watching Australian TV.  I am a happy old fat broad I must say.

I am thinking about starting a secret blog.  It will have all the Deep Dirty Deets in my life.  There will be a select discreet list of people who would have access to it.  Nothing would be held back and it would be right down and dirty and gossipy.  I predict there will battles to get on THE LIST.  And you can rightly presume that if you are NOT on the list, dirty details about you will be revealed.   hahahaha....just kidding!!!  I love you all!!!  TFL & TTYL

THE UPSIDE OF GETTING OLD AND WEARING DEPENDS:

It cuts my laundry in half.  think about the significance of that.

It gives you an excuse to stop wearing tights or tight trousers...comfy and baggy it is!

No worries doing things like jury duty, tourist submarine tours or buried somewhere near the bottom of massive stadium seating.

THE DOWNSIDE OF GETTING OLD AND WEARING DEPENDS:

When you are a guest in someone's house, where do you dispose of the used one to freshen up with a new one.  They are very bulky and fill a bathroom garbage can to an embarrassing level.

Wearing bulky disposable underpants compared to cute little lacy numbers forces you to face the fact that senior life has now landed on you permanently.

And when you choose to take a break and not wear one you can forget  you aren't wearing one.  I think you can understand the downside of that.

My advice is to get jiggy with it quickly and cope the best you can with a positive mind and a sense of humour.  Anything else will be destroying.
