So Bud got a bit of an earful from his coworker yesterday. He used to partner with Buddy's partner and broke off the partnership for the same reason. Unreasonable outbursts that were not really explainable. The one that put him over the edge was not answering his cell fast enough. What part of truck drivers cannot talk on cell phones did he not understand? Buddy did not want to bring any of this up but his friend was waiting at the timeclock at 5 AM and had already head some of the tale from Joe.
We will walk from this but I think that Buddy intends to go talk to Bill, he said he cannot leave it like this. I told him I need to stay home for that conversation, no good would come from my temper. Since Marisa is going to be joining the ranks of the unemployed next summer I need her to handle the books on this contract. I am not good at this and we cannot make a mistake. She reconciles accounts and manages ledgers for a living so hopefully she has time
I missed a lot and I am sorry but I forget what I wanted to say
I'm so sorry Buddy (and you) are having to go through this!
I hear beer at times like these is good.
Jen - Good for you, for starting your decorating! Alan has a strict "no Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving" rule. We drag out our stuff the Sunday after Thanksgiving, as that gives me time to get all our Countdown Calendars in place for the first of December.
On tap for today? Yup, you guessed it! Another fun-filled day cleaning Chez Glynis! The end is in sight though. All I have left to do is clean out the refrigerators, change the sheets in the Guest room and vacuum, vacuum, vacuum the basement! Oh, yeah, I also need to narrow down the list of pies the kids gave me. Gotta get going on that!
Dinner tonight will be quesadillas, green salad and Mexican rice.
We wanted to have some holiday stuff up for when my dad comes next week. Otherwise, I'm an after Thanksgiving gal too!
Hope you're nearing the end of cleaning!
Jen ~ U bet on the presents. Hummmm let's see how can we get together.
Cousin Chris and family live at the base of the Mountains. Love it. Last year we went out for the Balloon Fiesta - Amazing!!
Your menu sounds great!!
WFDT ~ Vegetable soup (in the crockpot), homemade rye bread (in the machine ready when I get home) and cranberry cookies.
Make it a great day everyone.
I love the Balloon Fiesta. My favorite balloons are the bees that hold hands. Did you get to see them?
Cranberry cookies, eh? Do we have this recipe!
...what's for dinner?
Hmmmm, lesseee....I threw short ribs and country spare ribs into my crock pot, sprinkled with freshly cracked pepper, and added 2 cloves of chopped up garlic, 3 oz. soy sauce, 2 oz. red wine, 5 or 6 oz BBQ sauce, 1 T. chopped ginger, 1 oz rice wine vinegar, and 2 diced scallions. I'll serve it later [with white rice] after it simmers on low for about 6 hours....YUMMY!!!
Sounds divine!
So I ma done for the day! My steamer was going in overdrive today and finally I feel like some areas of my house are clean enough for company. I have roughhewn pine boards for wainscoting in the living room and office. It goes well with the house but you cannot clean it and I hate dust. I use a steam buggy and blast it off. I use it on the stones on the fireplace too and they were pretty awful after all those days the fireplace went 24/7 last month.
Marisa brought home Krispy Kreme donuts (thinking of my little buddy Hailey
)!!!!! and I have been eating them all day. Dinner is officially sandwiches because the thought of eating is making me cringe.
You are aware, aren't you, that calories consumed whilst cleaning one's house are negative calories, and do not impact your hip size at all.
The kids are having PB and Js with string cheese and apples.....
After they go to bed I'm going to try out a recipe I got from Pinterest(I am all set to high five your faces Goofylover and Remus) for PF Chang's Lettuce Wraps...
But...there is ONE problem with the wraps...Wal-Mart had no ground chicken or turkey breast(just regular ground, with the dark meat
) so I'm using ground chuck....
Hopefully it turns out because I am really looking forward to it.
You know you love it!
I'm sure they'll be great! I love PF Chang's lettuce wraps.
I am going to post them to FB.
Since they have the boys last names on it I won't post them here. I may have the one that says Sample on it, have to check the box with the big tag board in it to see if I ended up with it. If so I will take a pic and post it here.
Awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing them!

Today is over. 3 more work days till vacation!
Today was semi-busy, but not as bad as yesterday. But, we were doing fun stuff in speech all day! We made turkey cookies, made from turkeys and candies. I posted a pic on FB.
During my last group, one of my 6th graders came and told me: "Ms. Goofyluver, I just love coming to speech. Today was super fun. Thanks for being the best speech teacher ever!"
Made my day.
Tomorrow is my very busy day of the week. By the end of the day, I'll have made a million and one turkeys. (I have two different schools that I serve) I'll never want to see a turkey again!
Then, after work I have to go shopping to finish up all shopping for Thanksgiving and I have to get things for our staff luncheon on Friday! I'm making a cranberry relish that I found on Pinterest.
Tonight's dinner was bang bang shrimp tacos, and as we speak, I have a mock apple pie in the oven.
all around! Hope everyone goes into your Wednesday on a good note!
and one of the girls has a meet Sunday. So I have to get my cleaning for next week started now.
It's a 1000 meter freestyle, which means the oldest is swimming and she is going to be nasty mean to begin with and TIRED at the end of it. As she likes to tell her DM, she just dies at the end.
