I Love Being a Rebel...

Hubby and I had lunch at McAllister's sandwich place today...I ordered a BLT without the L...Hubby ordered a panini. Both were really good but WAY too much! SO, I ate half of mine and wrapped up the other half for Hubby to have for his supper...WHAT!!Hahaa...Yes I Did To! I re-toasted it under the broiler, after slathering both sides in butter, and it came out better than straight from the store. Long story short Hubby wanted to know what I was having...?? "Well, I believe I'm having an Ice Cream supper tonight..." Should'a seen his face!!Hahaaa...And I did! Vanilla ice cream with Big Red poured over it...Shameful I know BUT I Really felt the "Rebel" rising up in me! Ain't I something?LOL....Night all!

Silly Stuff on a Thursday!

Cleaning Poem

I asked the Lord to tell me
Why my house is such a mess
He asked if I'd been 'computering',
And I had to answer 'yes.'
He told me to get off my fanny
And tidy up the house.
And so I started cleaning up...
The smudges off my mouse.
I wiped and shined the topside.
That really did the trick...
I was just admiring my work....
I didn't mean to 'click.'
But click, I did, and oops, I found,
A real absorbing site.
That I got SO way into it....I was into it all night.
Nothing's changed except my mouse
It's very, very shiny.
I guess my house will stay a mess...
While I sit here on my hiney....

Hope you're all have a more productive day than I am!!LOL...

Monday Again!

Good Morning to you!! Is it FALL Yet?? It rained here all weekend but wasn't chilly...This morning, it IS cooler! I left my jacket at home! Oh well, I can still run pretty fast...Hahaa.
Well, yesterday I took the Grandkids to town to find some of those windpants...We Did find a rack of them...Did Sami grab a pair???LOL...NO! She found a pair of those silky long pants...No idea what They are called! You know, they have those tiny holes in the material and stripes up the sides...beats me! So, all's well in the pant department!
Guess I'd best get started on some chores here at work. Hope you all have a Great Monday!!
