APOLOGIES

Just let me apologize for that last post.  A Valley Girl I am not.  Since writing that awful post I have become hyper aware of how often I myself use that stupid word like!  'Whatever' and 'totally' I don't mind, but that word like is just too damned easy to use.  And Aryn, I noticed that 'for reals' you slipped in there in your comment!!!!  And Sharri you are sooooo right!  I am always panties in a bunch for at least two weeks leading up to my checkup and the euphoria I feel after is silly.  Even if it wasn't good I would still be so relieved the checkup was done for another three months!

I am worried about getting an actual family doctor though.  I am glad for sure, but you can't push them around like you can a 'could care less' clinic doctor.  Family doctors get way too interested in what's happening inside of you and always find just one more thing to worry about.  Ignorance is bliss is my motto when it comes to my health.  I am always having to shake sand out of my ears.

Well I am off to the dollar store today.  I have made a commitment to buying all my foil pans etc.. at the dollar store.  They are less than half the price they charge in a grocery store.  And I need to make six or eight pies.  I only have ten people for dinner tomorrow night, but those pies are really small.  Half of them are going to be chocolate banana and the other half lemon meringue.
                        Later
OMG!!  By the time I got home yesterday I was almost dead.  I def exceeded my fifty steps per day.  And I absolutely failed at the dollar store.

I swore to my self that I was just going to go in, go straight to the tin foil stuff, you can see it right through the shop window in the first aisle, and get out...so easy peasy. NOT!!   Two giant, and I mean giant, bags and eighty five dollars later I dragged out to the truck.  Jeez!  Tin foil pans, brownie mixes, cream of mushroom soups, olives, two shiny metal mixing bowls, two hanging gnomes for the garden hooks, and all sorts of party stuff for the table.

I decided to turn dinner tonight (I am writing this in the middle of the night) into a 'chase the winter blues away' party.  Everything is bright blue and bright yellow.  It actually looks more like an Ikea or Best Buy themed party, but what the heck!  I will take pics when I get it together in the morrow.

I made the most delicious dinner last night, one that kind of surprised me.  It was vegan...mostly by accident.  Peter helped me.  I whomped up veggies until tiny....cauliflower, mushroom, carrots, onion, tofu, trail mix which was almonds peanuts, raisons and dates.  After frying it in the wok I flavoured it with ponzo sauce.  Then we ate it with vermicelli and hoisin or peanut sauce on lettuce wraps.  Sooooo good!  Sooo fast and easy.  Now I am sounding like one of those food blogs.  You know, the ones where you want the recipe but you have to scroll through endless commentary you don't want to get to it.

Crapadoodle....I can't sleep.  I was so flipping tired last night but one o'clock on the nose BAM!!....wide awake.  Now its 3:30.  I am going to be too tired by four o'clock in the afternoon.  (shovel list).  I think I shall call it quits here and try again.  If by four I am not asleep I am going to get up and make the puddings for the pies.  I forgot to do that last night and they have to be super cold.  TTYL
