Ohiofarmgirl'sAdventuresinTheGoodLand-where ya been? whatcha been doin

[bibliophile birds]

OMG, I am going to have to read that book. She is from the same upstate NY area that I grew up in. Cobleskill is the next town over from ours. She probably went to the same school I did.

i'm thinking about going up to take a course on becoming a butcher at Suny Cobbleskill. the main problem is that it's in January and i HATE being cold. would i totally die? (our average winter temp is like 45)

I read a few pages and I agree - (note to self) ORDER BOOK!

wanna go out on a limb and say our library DOESN'T have it? i wish Buster was our librarian.

eta: just checked. they don't.

Mornin' OFG

You still workin' on peaches?

 

[Javamama]

She's probably lying in a pile of peach pits on the kitchen floor, a bottle in her hand...

Hey, OFG, I found a pic of you trying to fix your computer:

I have a former co-worker who sent me a long list of these this morning. Check out the ones on the Games/Jokes and Fun topic

His quote for me was: We'll be friends until we are old and senile. Then we'll be new friends every day thereafter.

ohmigosh you guys are having all the fun without me!

and yes i was elbow deep in peach pits! whoot!

*wipes flour across face from making bread, notes to self to start the cheese from goatmilking earlier, looks at tomatoes that i'm fixin' to can in a few minutes but only after i put the turkey meat from when we butchered them in the yard in the pressure canner, wonders if i got the gumption to make Lori's fried pies.. but only after i take the pumpkin i'm cooking out of the oven....then see's BibBird's book recommendation *

say.... i resemble that!!!!

ha!

how hilarious! thanks bibbird (not to be confused with the other BB)... wow!

actually someone else sent that to me last week (*wonders... golly do you think i'm really that gal on the cover *)!

and i really really like it. i was thinkin of checking out the book. and honestly, its about time.

but

have you seen her site? not much new stuff there but i checked out the press page and found THIS:

are you KIDDING ME?? hey hey gal... thats me your bashin' on now. i'm just dying to tell that gal (the author if this piece of crap who whines about what we do every day):

hey Maddie - you are everything that is wrong with this country. why dont you get up off your lazy you-know-what, pull on your big girl panties, and go and get some work done.

no, i dont think you are funny - i think you are sad. and another thing - if your husband is happy maybe, just MAYBE he is glad that you are actually HELPING the family and working as a team instead of sitting around on your self-absorbed butt and fanning yourself with your freshly manicured tips.

and another thing - what about all the folks who dont have a choice and have real financial problems instead of you folks who decided to live that way? hows your crappy attitude helping them? way to help your sisters along, Maddie. *holds up big foam finger* great job.

now while your worst dream is rendering fat and fermenting... i'm headed out to do just that. Satan you say? honey just look in the mirror and ask yourself why the economy is in the toilet. now go to crate and barrel and buy your dang coffee table with money you dont have to impress people you dont care about.... and let us real women get back to work.

----------------

and that is what i got to say about that.

now where is my bucket of 'maters....
;-)

hey KC - thats GREAT! that was me last week with this stupid puter was down. HA!

 

[Javamama]

I would really hate to be personally dressed down by you

Would you like to join me in whining about how hot it is? It's making me sleepy.

edit just to say, WTH is Kindermusic?...(from that article you linked)

 

[ohiofarmgirl]

;-)

and dang its hot! it hasnt reached 90* in the kitchen yet but i'm fixin to put the bread in a 450* oven!

just as soon as i'm done we are venting this place out and crankin on the ac

whoot!

;-)

You know, one of the reasons I wanted the goats was so that I could stop feeling like "just a housewife" I need to be something other than mom, wife, and housekeeper. To some people raising the animals seems like it would fit into one of those categories, but this is just for me so it's a pleasure.
I have no idea how that fits with the above conversation, I just felt like sayin it. Must be the heat.
