WRAP WRAP WRAP UNTIL YOU BREAK YOUR BACK
I shifted stuff around in my purple room, stacked all the gifts into relevant piles, hauled in a costco table and squeezed it into the room. I shall be wrapping in there as its twenty below outside and stuff in the garage is on the verge of freezing. Plus I can watch my crap tv at the same time! Nothing like a little Judge Judy to spur one on.
I counted and so far I have 82 presents to wrap. I think I might make a quick trip back to the dollar store and get some more gift bags!
And now...the tree. sigh. I have a lot of decorations down in the hell hole. (shovel list) Some of them have made their way upstairs but I am going to do my best to keep it to a severe minimum. I know the talk after christmas involves criticism of those people that leave their outside lights and decs up too long. With me its how long the boxes of decorations sit behind the couch and not taken down stairs and put away.That is NOT going to happen this year and to ensure that it doesn't I found the perfect solution. Don't bring them up to begin with.
I sure learned something the hard way today. I was frying up onion, pepper and chopped mushrooms. I was going to add eggs then make a breakfast wrap. So as the veggies were frying I decided to add a bunch of hot sauce to the pan and cook it into the veg. I have been on a real chilli flake and hot sauce bend lately. So I dumped in a ton of Frank's and Chalula sauces. Mmmmm....and within two minutes I was choking and sneezing and literally coughed til I upchucked...twice! And it wouldn't stop! My eyes were burning and my nose was running and I coughed my lungs up. Never again!
Hahaha!! I just got off the phone with Aryn. She and Bradley have Molly right now. The idea was that she would be making a decision if Molly's checklist favoured living or ....well you know. So, I don't think Molly is going to be facing the grim reaper any time soon! Probably because she is so much more loved, appreciated and coddled, she is not freaked out by two angry people here thus she isn't peeing on their floor. And it sounds like she is having the time of her life. Bradley takes her to work with him and as I am sure he is finding out, Molly is an extreme babe magnet or ice breaker...depending on your current status.
I remember going for coffee with Kathy a while back. She brought adorable baby Ainsley and I brought annoying stinky Molly. Guess who everyone went crazy for? One woman even tripped on the curb and damn near went down she was so busy trying to get to Molly. So I don't think she is coming home anytime soon. Which is great for me. I don't even miss her. Not even in a good way. Its like I never had a dog. The only time she enters my consciousness is when I notice that the floor actually needs to be swept now. She used to keep it totally clean...she would even eat spilled coffee beans!
Well I could drone on and on here but I would just be procrastinating the inevitable and boring you folks stiff. So I am going to jet and get at it..TTYL

XMAS....CAN BE FUN
I am always hesitant to be too honest about what I feel about some things because I know my family and friends are reading this. When you actually put it into words either by blog or mouth it tends to make your opinions much stronger and fixed than maybe it is.
The other day I reacted to an article I was reading. It was about the fact that the powers that be are building safe places to take drugs...just in case of an overdose. As I have made very clear every which way my sympathies do lie with junkies and the addicted. No sympathy for the partier taking chances. But when I read that even more money and time and energy are going into that mess downtown eastside I got a little ticked off and made a comment to that effect. And, of course, it came out way stronger and not even really what I thought about junkies safety. I just wish they would solve the homeless problem, put some energy time and money into that. But Monte heard what I said and took umbrance with it and wouldn't listen when I tried to explain what I really meant. Lesson learned...don't say crap to begin with. But I am going to here right now. LOL!!
I love Christmas...the tree, the gifts, the shopping, the excitement and of course the awesome food. But I have discovered as I get older that there is a downside to it all...especially if you are the mom in the event. Unless you are a master delegator, which I am definitely not, the work load becomes pretty heavy. The one part though that I exempt from this is any cooking. That part I can never get enough of. And I love the gift shopping...the more the better!
But I hate wrapping. I used to like it but I don't anymore. If I had my way I would haul out all those stupid plastic grocery shopping bags you keep because, well they're bags and could be reused, that you have stuffed into every available space in the back of your cupboards and throw a gift into one and tape it up. That would solve the bag overload problem and it would be so easy...no ripped paper, no mistaking the size of the paper you cut, no little dainty pieces of tape, NO GARBAGE!!!!
House cleaning....those corners you don't clean until your house is going to fill with company. I know...all you out there don't have this problem because you keep your place perfect year round. Unfortunately I don't. So around this time of the year I start to frantically haul out boxes from under the guest bed, empty the seldomly used bathroom's garbage can, clear off the washer/dryer of casserole dishes, roasters, slow cookers etc..that never made it to the garage, clean the garage yet again, decorate the tree...finally, clean my private bathroom (which, other than the toilet and sink, I never clean), organize the hall closet so guests can hang their coats, blah blah blah...(shovel list).
And decorating. Oh jeez.....I have a hundred giant boxes down in my hell hole full of beautiful appropriate christmas decorations. But I really hate decorating. I love the look of greenery boughs draped along the mantle, full of twinkling little lights. But my greenery is stiff and unbending and just won't frigging stay there. And I string lovely little lights all through the wee branches and then string a bright giant orange extension cord off the end and it looks like sh*t.
I have a beautiful giant wreath, a fake one with battery operated lights wound around and through it. Beautiful. But....the damned thing bounces every time the door opens and shuts, and when that happens little crap falls off the wreath. Little red berries, the odd pine cone, little tiny green branches...etc...and within one day the four double AA's are toast.
I have a beautiful tall cone shaped gorgeous pretend artistic christmas tree. Its white and glittery and has little lights....and its lopsided. It is really pretty but when people walk into the room they all say....oh, hahaha that tree is going to fall over. No its not. Its just stupid.
I could go on but I won't. I just know that by the 24th I am cranky, tired and ready to throw the towel in. Then something magic happens. Christmas eve. I have never had a bad one. The family, guests, food, laughter, chocolate, fireplace, soft christmas tree lights, excited children....makes it all worth it...til the next day, after dinner and that mountain of dishes....LOL!!! TTYL

THROWBACK TO THE SIXTIES
I have a feeling I had best get this post done. I do not feel well and getting worse as the day goes by. My head hurts, my eyes are burning, hacking and coughing and I am hot. Whine! I found out there is a flu going around Vancouver right now and I was at very close quarters with about three hundred Vancouverites the other night. Dang it!!! One of our boys wasn't feeling too well either.
At four thirty Tuesday afternoon Monte, Graham, Anton and Eithne came by April's and picked me up. We then picked up April at her work and over the bridge to Emily's and picked her up. The two boys had to sit on the floor and we just hoped for the best. This is what we used to do back in the sixties in old VW buses...but smoking the good stuff at the same time. The trip downtown was a hoot! Turns out Emily and Graham went to school here in Kamloops together.
For those that are not in the know....there are two restaurants downtown and one in Whistler called The Warehouse and one is called the Factory. Their menu is extensive, their food is delicious and every dish is 4.95. Pirogies, hamburgers, fries, enchiladas, shepherd's pie, macaroni, spaghetti, salads, ribs and on and on. Portions are a good size. We went to the Factory and had a delicious dinner. We then went to the concert which was even better than we hoped. Love that band!!! Thank you Emily!!!!
Afterwards Monte dropped Em and I off at her awesome little apartment before driving the others all home. Em and I sat up into the wee hours visiting...good visiting.
The next day the boys picked me up and we went somewhere in Vancouver to another super cheap place for breakfast called Bond or Bonds. Their breakfast....pan fries, a meat, two eggs any way and toast for 4.95 and endless coffee. Now, I wouldn't say this if any of those kids were reading this blog, they aren't, but....I would rather pay an extra five bucks and get a smaller, but better made breakfast with better coffee. Oh, there was nothing wrong the breakfast, just not quite right. I am picky about breakfasts. But it was fast and cheap and something they could afford. After a stop at Red Cat, a vinyl store, we headed home. We left Van around two thirty and drove into our driveway at six thirty. Made good time through the Coq.
You know, its dribbling snow outside. Barely a skiff on the ground. And its like twenty below. Yet, those old dudes in the cul de sac across from me are all out shovelling their driveways. THERE'S NOTHING TO SHOVEL!!!! They are like that in the summer only with the lawn mowers. I hope they freeze their knackers off!
Well I am going to go back to bed with a hot tea. Oh, one more thing. NO MOLLY!!!! She is at Aryn's and the little cow has peed only twice on Aryn's floor. Jeez, she pees twice an hour on mine. Its soooooo nice having a break from her. Apparently Bradley took her to work with him (he paints) and when Aryn went there she said it was so funny to see him busy with this little dog in a foofoo winter jacket under his arm! She will be loving it! TTYL

DANDY WARHOLS YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sitting comfortably on April and Myles's couch in their new home. Their home is so homey and beautiful. I LOVE it!!! I stayed here last night on their amazing couch. I got the best sleep I have had in a very long time.
The first night down here I slept in the hotel room with Monte and Anton. Sigh. I was sound asleep when they bust in somewhere around two or three in the morning. Then when we all settled, every little move they made sounded like a gun going off. And jeez! they are so smelly. Smelly feet. Smelly pits. Gaseous emissions. I didn't really go back to sleep after that.
So last night around 11 the fire in the fireplace slowly died, the christmas tree smelled heavenly, the murmur of people in the distance, I drifted off to sleep and didn't wake up til five thirty this morning. Unheard of!
Today I am spending a quiet day by myself in April's place. I wish I had a car, I would have tried to see Clare and Tish. It has been way too long since I saw them last. But I don't have transport. Monte and two buddies are picking me up at four thirty. We then pick up a friend of April's then we pick up April from her work and then we go and pick up Emily and then we go downtown and find parking and go for dinner and then to the Dandy Warhols!!!
Now this van has only five seats in it right now. So two people are going to have to sit on the floor. But I am going to make sure Emily is in a seat and belted down...my sister would kill me if she wasn't! Actually the back seat holds three so the three girls will be fine. But the two boys are going to have to sit on the floor. I promised them that if we get tickets I will pay the fines! Monte's a good driver so I am not too worried. They can always get out and get a bus too. Their choice.
It snowed here yesterday. I hate to sound like those smug inlanders but seriously, you would have thought the world was ending. People down here not only can't drive in one inch of snow, but they have awful tires. You should have seen it!!! A total gong show. If you have a shitty car and a shitty driving record, STAY HOME. Its not fair to all the other people with decent wheels and a decent ability to drive...in ONE INCH of snow.! They would never survive in Kamloops.
Well its time to go get ready and pack my stuff up. Tonight should be a hoot and I am spending the night with Emily!!! Hopefully we won't be too tired when we get home and can do a little catch up. I know she has to go to work in the morning. I shall report soon on how it all went! TTYL

MAMMA MIA
Yup, Kathy, Kerry and I are off to Mamma Mia tonight. Bill and I went to the stage play of Mamma Mia in London a few years ago. It was so funny and so well acted. Its going to be interesting to see how this one measures up. I have heard that its a fantastic production!
Jeez! I am freezing! And if you know me you will know that that is ridiculous. I am always too hot. I have a feeling its pretty cold outside tonight. I just know that even though the furnace still says 19, it sure don't feel like it! In fact, I have to admit, that a few times today I have taken my phone and gone and sat in my bathroom for a while. I have the heater Monte gave me last Xmas in there and its toasty toasty warm. So I sit there and warm right up.
Well this is kind of a sad day for me. I washed my hair today, which now that its volume is less than half what it was a year ago, is easy peasy. And tonight I am putting it up, with great difficulty, in its very last poof. My hair has become so thin and not curly that its a struggle getting it up there. Next week I am going to make an appointment and get it cut off and hopefully some kind of perm. I have had a poof up there for more years than I can remember. The upside of it all though is that I will be able to go swimming now and get my head wet. But I am still sad.
Well Monte and a couple of his little friends and I are headed to Vancouver tomorrow. Today I got all the laundry done and the packing. I should just leave my suitcase packed. I only wear about two shirts and two tights here at home. I never wear anything else. Day in day out...the same thing. The only time I alter into other stuff is when I travel somewhere.
I am the same way about my food. Same thing day in and day out. Although now and then I will suddenly not want whatever the current food is and change it up. Then the same thing over and over for a month. Right now its wieners cut up, croutons, chopped tomatoes and whatever other veggies there are and homemade thousand Islands dressing. A complete balanced meal if you ask me! Once in a while I throw in a tv dinner. I love them! Especially the instant mashed potatoes....my all time fave food. And I am pretty sure they always put sugar in their vegetables...what ever they are. One thing for sure...I am NOT going to cook meals for myself. Other than wieners I hardly ever eat meat. So what do you cook?
Well I don't have much else to report. I have my fingers crossed we won't have any significant snow between now and next Wed. when we get home. TTYL

I'M SO MAD RIGHT NOW
I have tried really hard to keep news events, current affairs, politics out of this blog. We get enough of that crap on social media. But....I just finished reading an article on the fentanyl crisis. And every time I do read about it my dander goes up.
I am a taxpayer...a hefty one. And I am quite happy to have my taxes spent on creating and maintaining a healthy, educated and housed citizenship. But there are times when it seems to me that there can be a real imbalance on the allotment of those funds and along with that a lot of whining.
I guess what really got me this time is that even though the government is spending over fifteen million on this latest drug crisis, it isn't enough according to a lot of people...especially the families of the recreational drug players. I have a pretty harsh judgement of this, which let me make clear, does NOT include the downtown eastside type junkies. Obviously they are true victims and they need all the help we can give them. Starting with housing...but thats another topic entirely.
No, I am talking about all those peeps, dead ones now, out there that are not addicted, they just want to party. There are a lot of them. And they knew exactly what they were doing...playing Russian roulette with pills instead of bullets. And not only do I have zero sympathy for them, but I am pissed off. I don't think even one dollar should go out to help those, especially when its taking it from the ones that clearly do need the help. And if I hear from one more grieving (whining) mother of a dead kid that knew better but did it anyway I am going to scream. What the hell did they think was going to happen?
In the article I just read, the mother was so upset because 'the government' wasn't spending more money than they are on helping our youngsters understand the seriousness of doing drugs. Are you serious? A little brat is going to do what a little brat wants, risking death or not. And she was pissed off because more money was spent on one of the killer flus that came through one year...you know, the illness that killed our truly innocent, seniors and babies, than on a drug problem that her darling chose to participate in...fatally.
Okay I am getting mad again so I will stop. And if this offends anyone well, I am not sorry. And if you have anyone in your family that might be stupid enough to play this roulette game of pills, have a chat with THEM, not the government.
TTYL

In the article I just read, the mother was so upset because 'the government' wasn't spending more money than they are on helping our youngsters understand the seriousness of doing drugs. Are you serious? A little brat is going to do what a little brat wants, risking death or not. And she was pissed off because more money was spent on one of the killer flus that came through one year...you know, the illness that killed our truly innocent, seniors and babies, than on a drug problem that her darling chose to participate in...fatally.
Okay I am getting mad again so I will stop. And if this offends anyone well, I am not sorry. And if you have anyone in your family that might be stupid enough to play this roulette game of pills, have a chat with THEM, not the government.
