Who wants to hear all about my day??  I think probably no one.  BUT, a certain friend (Barbie+Skipper=BFF) seems to think you all enjoy reading about my boring life.  Lately I’ve been trying to think of interesting/newsworthy/controversial/etc. subjects to write about, but as you may have noticed, I’m not having much luck.  So until I can come up with the perfect subject, you’re stuck with me.  I guess if I think about it, most of the daily journals I read and love are pretty much about daily life.  My life is just much more boring than most. 

For instance.  Today I got up at 6:00 (thanks to my bladder and the dogs) and because Greg “made” the bed while I was in the bathroom, I stayed up.  I made coffee with the new coffee I bought yesterday, which turned out to be beans – no where on that bag did it say beans.  So I got my little mini chopper out (the one Walmart sells on Black Friday for $5.00) and tried it out.  It did alright, but not great.  Guess I’ll have to borrow Erin’s Magic Bullet so I can grind the rest of the beans.  And what else?  I watched the early news for a change.  I took a nap (can you BELIEVE IT?)  yadda yadda yadda.  The kids are coming over tonight for supper.  In fact, Erin should be here any minute!  I’m sortof experimenting – stir frying onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms, then throwing in some Turkey Kielbasa.  Also cooking whole wheat pasta with Ragu Spaghetti Sauce.  Throw it all together, and hopefully I’ve got something that tastes good and is low in WW Points.  I’ll like it, cuz I like all those things, but Greg may not want seconds.  Oh well.  It won’t hurt him to eat something healthy for a change.  That man has never even had his cholesterol checked – in fact I’m pretty sure the last time he saw a Dr. was when he cut his finger off in 1976.  If he had some sort of serious health problem, he’d probably just as soon not know about it anyway.  (note to self – check to make sure life insurance is paid up)    

So, Erin showed up and I quit writing so I could fix supper.  It turned out very nicely.  Everyone liked it but Greg (see above).  Now we’re all sitting around watching TV and having a toddy.  Toddy is a funny word.  We don’t usually refer to liq as a toddy, but some friends of ours do.  And since it’s evening, and technically we’re having an after-dinner drink, I suppose Toddy applies.  Whatever.  We won’t be able to have too many, cuz we’ll be out of Lord Calvert soon.  Looks like we’ll be making a trip to the Liq tomorrow.  (Ang – maybe we’ll come see ya!)
