I CAN'T KEEP UP

Lordy be! Its been busy around here.  I must not wait so long between posts...I don't remember what I did!

I know I went to a couple of hockey games and absolutely had a blast!!  We discovered that if you go to the local pub, the Fox and Hounds, eat a cheap dinner, you can then catch their old rickety bus with a whole load of very loud old hockey fans down to the game.  They bring you back up right after the game.  So easy and holy crow, is it ever fun.  We have done that twice now!  Its like a whole different world there.  Everybody so happy and hollering and eating crap and excited kids...I love it.

I also remember that Monte and I made a massive pot of pea soup.  It was delicious!  I haven't used ham hocks before but I sure will be again.  As usual we made enough for a frigging army!  So tonight I took the time after the game to bag and freeze it.

Thursday night I hopped down and met the grad group I meet each month for dinner somewhere new.  We had a fun time and dinner was actually pretty good.  I had the eggplant parm...yummy.  As we were eating, a whole load of very good looking young men filed in....about 25 of them.  It was the Seattle team that the Blazers played tonight.  It was kind of cool to put faces to those players skating around.

Earlier today I cut the cone off of Molly.  OMG!!  Dog food, the wet kind, had gone down under her chin and had gone rotten.  Talk about stink.  I was gagging!  So into the laundry room sink she went and got a good scrubbing.  She looks so dreadful right now.  Due to flea chasing, I cut all the hair off of her back half and back legs.  Then I cut all the hair off her left side and left front leg.  But I left the hair on the other side.  She looks ridiculous!

I'm changing things up in my kitchen.  Now that we don't have a table downstairs, it has come to my attention that we actually need one there.  So I am going to move the little kitchen dinette set down.  We don't use it ever anyway.  We always end up sitting in the dining room.  

On Monday I am calling Shaw and I am going to have them come and put a cable connection in my kitchen.  I am then going to mount a not too large tv on my wall.  Then, and this is the best part, I am going to put two rocking chairs, or armchairs where the table had been, with a little coffee table between them!  So when I am cooking and need to keep an eye on the stove or whatever, I can sit in a comfy chair and drink coffee and watch tv at the same time!!!  I love comfy chairs in kitchens and for the most part I have always had at least one.  Willie is going to have to move though.  Have to figure that one out yet.

No stuff this post.  I haven't had the time to get to those boxes yet.  Tomorrow for sure.  TTYL

A SNOWBALL TREE!!!
