Canned chicken & my period

G: Chris Isaak is in town again 8/4 at the O’Shaughnessy in St Paul. Interested?

X: That would be fun…and not so far to walk…and nowhere NEAR Lake St. LOL (of course, technically, neither is Mystic)

It might be safe!

What’s the $$??

G: Not sure yet. Ticket sales open tomorrow but they were giving advance option to American Express card carriers. I don’t have one of those. I pretended I did and the seats down near the front were $55. Would be nice to sit down there and see them close up but not sure about that price. And it might not be as good for people (like me) who don’t have the RIGHT credit card! Anyway I’m pondering it. Still a good show from the back but it would be very cool to sit down front! Tomorrow I’ll hop in and see how much they are going for and let you know. If I decide I want to sit down front I could help cover some of your ticket. I’m checking to see if 'daughter' might want to go too and I might hit 'sister' up to see if she’s interested.

X: Whoo-hoo! Sounds like a party!!!

How is your day going?

Once again I am short of sleep! I sat with 'daughter' to get homework done. While I did that I sipped on tea. The tea kept me wide awake while 'hubby' did some stuff on his computer until 1:30 or so. Then the tea kept me awake some more! 'Hubby' woke me up before he left today. He forgot that I needed the van. He couldn’t take the car cuz it’s full of stuff I need for Sat. I drove him to the airport at 7…yes, 7 am! I wasn’t in my jammies but I’m very glad I only had to actually drive back home and not TO the airport. I was not awake!

Tonight there is a band concert and somehow 'Daughter' and I need to work through 5 wks of science homework to turn in tomorrow. I may teach her the value of an all-nighter! Ick. And the bummer is to keep her interested I’m making it fun so my luck she’ll keep doing this s***! She is such a glutton for attention and she’s right. If she got good grades she’d have less time with me one on one.

'Son' was mopey last night because all of my attention was on 'Daughter' and all of 'hubby’s' was on his chicken —yes, he was home for 17 hrs and decided to buy 7 lbs of frozen chicken and can it!! —and his computer for work. So 'son' played outside, by himself, played on the wii, by himself, played in his room, by himself. I think I will talk with 'daughter' and see if we can’t have a “'Son' Rules” night on Friday. Fair is fair!! Actually, he doesn’t know it and I just remembered it, his friend is sleeping over on Friday night. YAY! I’ll put him on the phone with his friend tonight and they can make plans. I will be at his command!!

We meet on Monday morning with 'daughter’s' teachers. I may request that they keep a refrigerator box for her to sit in. Then they could cut one side out for her to view the teacher ONLY and block out the other distractions. I’m actually thinking of asking the Dr about the ADD drugs to see if that would help her keep focused. Of course, it may just make her REALLY focused on her social interactions. Wouldn’t that serve me right?!

Whew! Now I need to get back to printing my checks. 'Hubby' is gone until sometime on Sat. He left me with Mt. Laundry again in the living room. Wonder when I’m supposed to find time to work through that?!?!? He did clean up his canning stuff. I just hope it tastes good! Otherwise we’ll be moving gallons of icky canned chicken with us in 15 yrs!!!

G: My God! You should totally write a blog of your life! You are damned funny! I know you kinda don’t mean to be but you are. Just what you need…something else to do, right?

No party for Chris Isaak at this point. Nobody but me seems to know who he is! Sheesh! I think they are missing out on some very good music, but that’s apparently just my opinion! At least we had enough fun last year that you want to go this year!

Today is pretty slow. My period is acting like a crazy axe murderer so I may go home and die of blood loss early this afternoon. Being a girl is so fucking much fun some days!

Canned chicken sounds gross. I don’t think I’ve ever had any of that stuff. If it tastes bad THROW IT OUT!!!! Do not drag it with you on your next move! With 'hubby' gone all the time just throw out a can or 2 every time he leaves town so he thinks you’re eating it.

X: I’d add writing a blog to the end of my list but someone is using it as a life rope down in Tennesee!

I’m a little nervous about the chicken but it’s relaxing for him to can. AND 1) It takes up less space than a cedar strip kayak. 2) MUCH less expensive than a cedar strip kayak. 3) I can feed it to the dog if it’s icky and she will love me forever. and it doesn’t make annoying beeps and whistles like his favorite video game. AND—lastly—it may actually be good.

I hope you won’t die of blood loss. They actually told me at the red cross that we don’t lose that much blood from our period. It was a nice gramma lady telling me that so I had to keep a straight face. Maybe that’s what happens for nice girls and I’m just BAD, BAD, BAD. Hmmm…together again, aren’t we?!?!

Even if the chicken doesn’t taste good it does look interesting in the jar. Quite the conversation starter probably. Wish I could stick a rubber chicken head in one of them and see how long it takes him to notice it. Or a couple of feathers stuck in the lid may work, too.

ROFLMAO!!

X: Don’t fall off of your chair—or cry—that will just bring people to your office to bug you.

G: If I move too much I just have to run to the bathroom so I won’t be falling off my chair

X: And that may hasten your death from non-existent blood loss.

G: Non-existent blood loss huh? I could make a pretty horrific crime scene outta what’s going on right now…splatter EVERYWHERE! The detectives would be sure someone died!

X: TMI!

G: Hahahahahaha! Oops! Quit making me laugh! Gotta run to the bathroom again!

G: I want you to get rubber chicken parts and put them in the jars! OMG that would be toooooo funny! I would want to see 'hubby’s' face over that one! Tho it might drive him towards that dreaded cedar strip kayak!
