Stuff I have goin on

I have a few things going on. Not right now exactly, but coming up in the future. I get the guilt going on if I don't write here for long periods of time, so I guess  will give my schedule of events.

Next Saturday is my very first pleasure party. I am so freaking excited, ummmmm, very excited, yea.  I have never done this before. I think its gonna be fun. I have hired a massage therapist to come in for two hours and give ten to fifteen minute massages to the ladies. We will have a few drinks, a few snacks, play a few games and have some fun. I was the second person to book a party, but I am the first party to be given. I have about ten people i think are gonna show up. I think I an gonna buy a penis shaped cookie cutter, make some marshmallows, and the party people are bringing chocolate from chocoholics to dip them in. We will have Mojitos, Margarita's and wine to sip on to make sure we are totally relaxed. I don't know if the website is finished yet, but its littleblowpeeps.com if you want to check it out. I really wish you all could come to my party, it would be so much fun. I could turn on the cam if everyone agreed, and you could be a part of it that way. NOT. I don't think that would really be a good idea. I definitely will let you all know how that day turns out.

On April 23 we are having a bake sale at work for Race For the Cure. We did this last year and raised $1100.00 in a 24 hour period. Frito Lay matched that and we were able to actually donate 2200.00 to the cause. I am hoping we do better this year. I made up sign up sheets for the departments at work. Of course, they can make their own if they want, I bet they use this one though, cus its done for them. That doesn't matter though, what matters is finding a cure and ending the disease.

On June 21 I think is the date, I will be walking for two hours. I don't have a website yet, but I will be posting it when I get it. As a site last year, we did very good. I cant remember how much we raised, but it was a lot. This year, I will walk with my sister on my mind. She had colon cancer, went through chemo, and is a survivor, Thank God! This has become very important to me, and I am extremely proud to be able to be a part of helping in some small way.

John and i have nothing planned for the next few weeks. I am so glad for that. We are getting kinda tired and need a weekend off. This past saturday night, we went to my rewards and recognition party at Frito lay. It was very nice, good food, good entertainment, and good company. They hired people to do a ballroom dance demonstration. It was so cool. The dancers were very young and looked good. It just made me want to dance even more. There was a magician, live Jazz music during dinner and a casino afterword. This is the party where they hand out awards for accomplishments and different things during the year. I received one for safety for doing the lockout stuff. We have to lock everything out if it has any kind of automation on it. That was cool and unexpected. I also won a raffle prize and blackout bingo. I got a huge basket of our products from bingo and a blender/food processor from the raffle. It was a good night.

Well, I'm sure your eyes are starting to blur and burn from this way too long blog post. I will try to get back in the rhythm of bloggin more regularly. Have a great week, don't work too hard, and see ya later.

Update from me

I have thought about opening my lappy and writing something in this little white spot but there are no words falling off my fingertips. Its been about two weeks or more since I have written anythhng, so I guess I better try. I think I am loosing the bloggin bug, one more time. OH well, here goes.

Two weeks ago John n I went to that party where we dressed up as pirates. We had a good time and looked pretty cute, If I must say so myself. I took a bunch of pics, but only a few came out very good. I don't know what happened, but most of them were blurry, so they were deleted. I would post them, but i don't like that I cant delete the file here on Multiply, so they will stay where they are. I have a bunch of picture files  here, but I am hiding them cus I want them deleted. I wont add more till I can delete the old ones.

Last weekend we went to Fort Bragg again. It was an absolutely beautiful weekend. John actually got slightly sunburned, and I got tanned. We don't try to get burned n tanned, but we weren't ready for the sun to be as warm as it was. I didn't bring extra batteries and the ones in my camera died. I did manage to snap off a few, but i haven't even looked at them yet. So anyway, Saturday morning we got up and left for Occidental. We took a nice slow drive, took a few side roads to do some exploring and finally got to our destination. Johns brother and sister in law met us there that evening for dinner. We had drank a bottle of wine before they got there, then shared another one with them. We really had a great time.

Next mourning we left and drove down the road to Johns sisters place for easter. Most of his family showed up, and we were really not expected. It was a last minute thing that we went, but I'm happy we did. It was good to see his family and visit. since we live a few hours away, this doesn't happen very often. It really was a nice dinner and visit, but we still had a two hour drive to get back home. We left around 330 and got home wasted tired around 6. i know, its not two hours but close enough.

Since then, I have been working,  having trouble sleeping, and due to that, been very tired. I look at my lappy, but that really is not the first thing I want to think about. Ok,so there is the explanation as to why I have been MIA. that is all I have for now. Hope you have a great weekend planned.

My tablecloth

I am going to show you a pic of the tablecloth I made. Hopefully, they will be at the end of this post. I was going to put it in an album, but I want to delete some of my current albums cus I just don't want them here, but I cant figure out how to do it. Please, if any of you can figure it out, or know how to delete albums, will you please tell me. I am really liking this tablecloth. I have never made one before, and I really don't usually use them. this one will probably stay here till I get sick of it.

The rooster that wandered our neighborhood is gone. I don't know where he went, but one day he just wasn't here. It was so pitiful. I would get home from work, look around and listen for him, but nothing. It has been over a week. John says he met with fowl play.

I think I have asked this question before, but if you were given the option, had the cash ands time off work, would you get work done? I would. I would get a tummy tuck, but and boob lift, my eyes done and a little bit of fat sucked out of my face. Yes, I know its not very much, but given the time and cash, I would make that sacrifice for my body.

 

OK, I put the pics on here, but they are huge. I resizedthem, but they are still huge. Sorry. Hope all of you have a great weekend planned.

The Party is on!

Some of you may remember a few weeks back I said I was gonna have a pleasure party. I meant it too. I am. I just had to wait for the business owners to get up and started. I left her messages on her MySpace page to call me when she was ready. Well, this morning she called and I think I am going to book for April 5. She is going to have a web page, and you can order online if you want, or have a party if you want. I will put a link to her pages when her web page is ready. I think she will do good, she is very creative and fun, and that makes a difference in how you do business. She told me she is going to have Lingerie, toys, candles, and many other things including baskets that have a special chocolate made with wine. oh yum. I am looking forward to this. OH yeah.

Also, I made a cake today that has blueberries in it. OMG, it is soo good. It is a recipe from a pan that I bought. I may have to eat more of this one. I only had one piece so far. but it is good.

This morning I woke up at 4 am. This is really pissen me off. I cant seem to stay asleep all night on the weekend lately. I don't know what s going on. anyway, I have been thinking I wanted to make a tablecloth from some fabric I got from my moms stash. She had made one for my sister, and this was left over. I had this idea, to make it so the corners were sewn down. This should keep it from sliding all over and going all crooked. I just hate it when the tablecloth slides crooked. Well, I cut, measured, pinned, sewed, over and over and finally got the thing made. The corners are sewn so that they cant slip and I am very happy with it. If I get my camera out, I will take a pic and show you what I did. I don't even have to use place mats. I have some on there, and I may take them off. This was just an idea. I didn't know if it would actually work, but I tried, and it did.

So that is my day. I sewed, I baked, I even shopped. But for now, I am done. Have a good week.

Weekend Ramblings

I have no idea what I am going to write here. I haven't written anything for a week, so it will probably be just rambling or what ever falls off my fingertips. I don't want you to think I have given up on the blog thing, Its just a dry spell in my brain. I am going to start with our current plans.

Next week we will be going to a fundraiser for the VFW hall that burned down. It has a pirate theme, so we went out this morning and rented costumes. Johns is like Johny Deps in Pirates of the Caribbean. I have one to make me a wench. I don't know if I will be serving food or what, but it should be fun. I will take pics of us together. and yes, I will even try to post them.

The following weekend we are going up to fort bragg again on friday night, then off to occidental for saturday night. We just don't like to stay home if we don't have to. That will be easter weekend. I know, why aren't we home, doing the easter thing. Well, we just don't have anyone to do the easter thing with. So it is a long weekend, and we are gone.

The following weekend, will be Casino night at work. It is actually a rewards and recognition dinner they have each year to thank the folks that do all the extra stuff. The them for that is formal, and I am gonna have to get me something to wear. It will be a really nice dinner then gambling. They bring in casino tables and give us fake cash to play with. In the other room there is a DJ and this year they are having ballroom dancing people. it is just for show, but it sounds like fun. OH, they even hired a magician to entertain us.

So it looks like the next few weeks are going to be busy. One of the ladies I work with asked me to help her make a quilt for her daughter. At first she asked me if I could make it, then I suggested she help and it would be done a lot faster. so I will be doing that probably in Friday mornings for a few weeks. It is a very simple pattern, so I don't see it going more than three weeks.

Ok, that is my agenda for the nest few weeks. I am looking forward to having something to do for the next three weeks. then we will probably veg for a while. I think we may go out to Oklahoma and see Alex this summer for a week, wait. That is another blog topic for another time.

What is your comfort food?

We each have some kind of food we consider comfort food. It is different for each of us, and for different reasons. For a lot of people, for some reason mac n cheese falls into the comfort food category. For me, its the food I ate when I was a kid. Rice n beans, homemade bread and pies. tonight we are having rice n beans with buttermilk biscuits. John made a pork butt yesterday in the smoker, and put it in the pot of beans. OMG, this is sooo good. I know a lot of you may not care for beans with all their side affects, but I love them. We had a pot of beans on the stove quite often when we were growing up. We usually ate them over rice, just plane old white rice. Sometimes, my sister would make fried potatoes to have as a side. Yes, it was a bunch of those horrid carbs, but there was a lot of us and that was cheap food to make.

So what is your comfort food and where did it come from?
