Misc... Yada Yada Yada


this is the time of the year that  sounds from my living room for the past week sound like This.

Not Fair.. off sides is off sides....

Unnecessary Roughness!  Bad Call.....


I don't watch football, at all! never ever... but I do HEAR it a LOT... my observational opinion of my Hubby when he is in the living room ALONE shouting these to the TV.... IS

HIS team never has unnecessary roughness, it is always the other team. Also his team never goes off sides, what ever that might be. The referees are always making calls AGAINST HIS Team... never wrong calls against the other team..

Also, I have noticed, the referee is GOOD if he makes the call for Bob's team and BAD if he makes a call for the team Bob  doesn't like. He tells them that to....loudly, alone, in the living room, talking to the TV


And how does he pick which team he loves? He has never been to Texas but has LOVED the Dallas Cowboys since I met him, he even wears a Cowboy shirt. So I asked him Why? No, he did not say Cheer Leaders..

He said when I started watching them, I liked Coach Landry, the way he coached. Same with the Florida Gators.

Both coaches are long gone, but the love is there... He is now and always will be a die hard Cowboy fan.

He can't stand the Tampa Bay Bucs, which is the team that is in our back yard.... go figure.



The other answer is he LOVES the quarterback, or USED to love the quarterback, now he doesn't like, the coach, or hates the QB.  It is ALL about the quarterback. Or the coach...

What it comes down to is he either LOVES the team or does not and nothing they do can change him.

He roots for the underdog if one of his favorite teams is not playing...

BLOG CLOSED FOR THE WEEKEND.....

Gold Dollars Rant


We received a flyer in the mail stating Bob had won a prize, that could include a car or 25,000 dollars.

They come with a scratch off and a number and the odd thing is IT ALWAYS MATCHES and he ALWAYS wins. and he always gets a KEY to fit in a car. and all 4 were from different dealers.

Gold Dollars
I throw the flyers in the trash, when the 4th one came, Bob said lets take the key over their and see if it fits. we did and what we won was 3 gold dollars....

Of course the GOLD is fake and they are only worth a dollar.

He said "see we did win 3 dollars" and

She said
"yes we did, but we used 4 dollars of gas to get here"



1. do you receive these in the mail? do you retrieve the prize? DO YOU TRY THE KEY TO SEE IF THE CAR STARTS?

we did not get to try he key, because they knew we did not win, they just handed us the dollar and she was RUDE because we would not let her call a salesman. I said we came for the prize we don't need a car unless we win it.

Shadow Shot Sunday

view from our garage 

I got out of the car with camera in hand, and looked out past Bob at the front yard, lifted the Rebel and SNAP!


 Bob said "WHAT are you doing?"   I said "Don't you SEE the shadows?" Bob Said "Yes, But Why?"

All together now, say it.. you know the answer....


Because She Could......

MadSnappers "Thanksgiving



It is thanksgiving 5:30 AM... we are eating out, no work to do. I place oatmeal in microwave and think YIKES this needs cleaning. We eat our oatmeal and I decide to clean the microwave, I open the microwave door, with Dawn Rag in hand, see the dirty glass table, remove camera with long lens attached  that lives on table for Madly Snapping anything that happens, placing said  camera in chair.


 
I wipe the table with aforementioned damp cloth, turn to get dry cloth to dry it, see the microwave door standing open, pull rolling chair over to sit in since, our microwave lives in the place where normal people keep a dishwasher.

I sit in chair ON the camera, leap stagger back up and burst out laughing as I see the damp table waiting for the drying cloth.



I meander into the living room because though I can see Bob plainly sitting hearing distance away, he has local news BLASTING on 58 decibels (I am comfy at 28) and he can't hear my story. I relate the above mentioned story and go back to kitchen where damp has dried on table and has to be re-wiped and dried, microwave door is still open, not cleaned.

 I did get the table polished, the microwave cleaned and decided to clean  the five miles of counter top I have now that it is just Bob and ME. (when I had kids at home, my counter top was 3 sq feet)
We did have a happy ending, we did eat out, the kitchen was sparkling all day long....although this morning, I noticed it was dirty again and we ATE OUT! so what is up with that? Where does the dirt come from?
The End

this morning I placed my bagel half in the oven, left the door open,  stepped to the bread cabinet, opened it to get half a slice of wheat bread to toast for the dogs, saw the 4 bacon bits left, thought give them that while I eat my bagel. 
Decided while waiting for toaster oven to give them their pills, and take mine. I am doling out pills and washing dishes while waiting for the BEEP your bagel is ready....it occurs to me it has been a long time, I turn around and the door is still open....DUH

I tell bob this story, he says Listen to what I did this morning.

Bob  says :
I decided to put cheese on my egg sandwich. I lay the cheese on the counter and fried my egg, made the sandwich, sat down at the bar to eat, took a big bite and thought, umm cheese is good on eggs and realized I was looking across the kitchen at the cheese on the counter...
I AM THANKFUL TWO HALVES OF A MIND WILL MAKE A WHOLE... we hope. 
Have a wonderful day tomorrow and if you are not in USA, you can still be thankful... Being Grateful is UNIVERSAL
