That goat blog story is just too funny. I can't believe you can hack up a pig in your yard but watching a live birth is hard? I'm just the opposite. Although I have no problem at all slapping that bacon in the pan.

Uh, pass the donuts please............

SD i think i love you best when you slap bacon in a pan! whooot

wait - are there more donuts???

we're still yucking it up.. heres the Real Story About Nibbles

http://adventuresinthegoodland.blogspot.com/2010/12/real-story-about-nibbles-im-not-kidding.html

but caution -- it might remind you too much of your 'work' days.. yikes!!!!!

as for here and now....

snow = melting! its almost all gone! but then so is our natural freezer so i gotta come up with something quick. we still have stuff outside. yikes!

and

can you believe this - we are going to the store with the express intention of spending $100. and we are having a hard time coming up with a list of things to get. we have a 'use it or loose it' discount that we have to use. unfortunately we cant use it for booze - and we have ZERO freezer space - so we are thinking:

* cat food
* more cat food
* kitty litter
* even more cat food
* 10 for $10 whole wheat pasta

and we thought we'd stand in the butcher section and say to each other "hey should we get some ham?" and laugh laugh laugh. it kills us every time.

and after 2 weeks of nothing but white flour and sugar i think i'm gonna get like 5 pounds of fresh broccoli and eat it. raw. i dont even care if it was imported from south america.

other than that. no news

we are hangin here for new years and i probably wont even make it until midnite. do we know how to party or WHAT?

happy new year!
:)

We haven't made it to midnight in years. Since I'm on the west coast, I count it "making it" to 12 if I make it to when the ball drops in New York. It is 12 o'clock somewhere, right? Course for you that is still pretty late.

I'm glad your snow is finally melting! I'm still waiting to hear what happened to the pig heads. Maybe they will resurface like the Halloween Hand does here.....did you read my story about that on BB's page?

In case you didn't, we have a rubber, gory, plastic hand that we got for Halloween one year along with some other things because we were making a haunted house and someone else was cleaning out their garage. We had a big giant plastic zombie that looked so realistic that it scared the neighbor child! But the haunted house was so fun, and funny, we had a blast and so did the kids. The Halloween Hand was originally propped up on a grave like someone was trying to get out.

In any event, the Hand did not make it into the Halloween box that year. It keeps popping up. Whoever finds it, sets up the next person. Sometimes months pass between appearances. It will be on our pillow when we pull back the blanket, inside the fridge in a pot, or some other startling place. Kind of a family joke. Its latest appearance was when my 14-year-old found it and stuck it in the door my car on the passenger side. So I drove all 32 miles to work with it waving Hi to all the passers by. I got to work and my supervisor asked me to remove the "bloody hand" from my car. She was no fun. But I put it in my glove box and forgot about it.

It was pretty funny when my husband was looking for the ice scraper about a month ago and opened the glove box and found The Hand. I got a good chuckle out of that. But I'm sure The Hand will get me back.

The Decapitated Heads could be the same....but of course some wild critter could be lunching on them by now.

i desperately wanted to do the same thing. cuddle up on the couch with a warm blanket and the dog and watch Sound of Music or something equally old/amazing.

but friends from Seattle decided to come down at the last minute, so those plans are squashed. when someone travels across the country to spend New Year's in a less-than-impressive city with you, you can't suggest watching Sound of Music.......

Happy 2011 Eve!

I just bought a load of fresh fruits and veggies. I think I did buy close to 5 pounds of broccoli :lol: But we all like broccoli and I usually buy organic because it's so close in price to the pesticide coated stuff.

I would buy lots of toilet paper OFG :p. 'Course there are 3 women living in this house and we kinda use it up fast.

OFG cingrats on your surprise blessing! If anyone deserves it, you and The Big Man surely do :hugs :weee :celebrate and another :hugs

As for New Years at our house it is gonna be a pizza extravaganza! I will par bake a bunch of little itty bitty crusts and set out a huge array of toppings. Some of our faves are Buffalo Chicken,, Chicken Thai And Garlic Mushroom..... Yummmmmmmmmm......I can't wait!
I think i will also make a chocolate dessert that I never got around to at Christmas.

I will barely make it to 12, although the kids all will!

Hugs to you and TBM on the eve of 2011..... Prayers for a year FULL of Gods blessings!

I, too, will be sound asleep at midnight. No ball drop watching for me.
No New Years Resolutions either. Although I may have to stop visiting you all so much. My sugar goes through the roof just reading about your cakes and pies, breads, cookies, scones, etc.

I'm taking your names to my doctor on my next visit and she can fuss at you instead of me for a change.

:weee :weee Happy New Year everyone. :weee :weee

ohmigosh i've been outside IN SHORTS!!!! it was so fabulous!

the dogs and i dogged around and did some things and it was just like heaven. remember summer when everyone was happy? sigh..... but kai is all muddy now. she's our water girl and just loves splishin and splashin.

so our big hoopdedoo is that we got a (small) frozen shrimp plate and i'm cleaning out the kitchen and scooping the litterboxes.

i know. you're all totally jealous, right? ha!

anyway hopefully some horrible HAND isnt gonna pop up out of the litter box... ha!

bibbird: you gotta watch them seattle folks. ha! so if they get lippy with you just tell them that seattle is just a nice little town - one day it will be a world class city.. then watch their heads spin around. if you really want to send them over the edge tell them you dont recycle. ha!
;-)

KC - i did pretty well at my no sugar thing today, just one more day and i'll be over it. but i'm still pretty twitchy. and yes i got a pound of broccoli and i'm eating it for dinner. and an apple. and celery.

thanks D! have fun with your pizza nite!

java: i'm always in trouble for using all the tp. um HELLO i'm a girl!

ab: if ONLY i could order chinese. but there just aint no way i'm getting it anywhere around here. sorry but a small amish town aint no place to get moo shu pork. i dont care what the sign says - thats not real chinese.

ok i gotta get this party started. first stop - kitchen sink! whoooot!
