The Glamorous Life
It’s only Tuesday…and I’m whipped.
I have this terrible habit of defeating myself in my own head. I probably don’t really have THAT much to do, but when I start ticking it all off it seems like quite a bit, and I am often overwhelmed before I begin. What can I say? I’m Irish- English. I’ll always be my own worst enemy.
It’s in my DNA.
My to-do list (in my head) is always big bigger than normal HUGE…and I seldom get it all finished. I try hard, though. And then I try to be a little understanding when I hit that “energy deficit”. I thought only middle children were supposed to be over achievers?
So the agenda this week is as follows:
1. WORK
2. Bathe my filthy hounds…blechhh, ooh, ick, yuck, gross.. They are highly odiferous. I think one rolled in something…of a “bodily function” nature.
It‘s usually at this point that I find them rolling on my bed- or better yet, laying with their asses on our pillows. Our pillows… smell. Uggghhh. Like ass. That’s right. I said it. Out loud.
You ain’t ready.
Gotta love that terrier sense of humor.
3. Shampoo my carpets. (No Angel, I am NOT having company. My friend Angel says I am OCD about shampooing my carpets, and she always thinks I do it when I am having company)
4. Make sure Seanie P. is ready for Halloween. I think I’ve got this one covered. Truly, we have no choice. He hasn’t stopped bugging us/reminding us since like, oh…July?
5. Make Jackson Pollock gourmet apples on Friday. Really? Yes.
6. Spend large amounts of time adoring my husband. Sigh. Thankfully, this one never leaves my to-do list. I practice it OFTEN…he's just not always around to witness it.
7. Spend large amounts of energy convincing said adored husband to help me my shampoo carpets, bathe hounds, and make gourmet apples, all in his spare time and on his days off. Well, maybe I can bribe a child with the hounds…
Right.
8. Do laundry- the gift that never stops giving. I swear it brings friends in after the lights go out. Have you ever wondered just WHAT EXACTLY happens in the dirty clothes pile – in the dark? I keep saying that one night I’m gonna do a sock/panty count before bedtime. Seriously. Also, refer to #2 and pillow/ass comment for additional reason if necessary.
9. PAINT THE DAMN KITCHEN. I mean it. For Goddess sake, I’ve had the paint for 3 months now! By the time I get around to it I will be ready to move and I’ll be forced to use that lovely blue in a bathroom or somewhere else equally boring and predictable.
10. Attend Haunted Vets at Godley Station in Pooler, GA, for a fundraiser for Companion Animal Aid on Saturday. Bring along apples. Note to self *Don’t forget Lil Kim, Seanie P., and one costumed canine; just on the off chance that I might actually get out the door without him (the costumed canine, not the boy).*
11. Decide what the dogs are wearing for Halloween…this translates to either “buy” something or “make” something. Whenever I sew, the family waits anxiously with cell phones in hand to speed dial 911 because if I am sewing chances are VERY good that I am losing copious amounts of blood.
Well, despite their respective cuteness, (the dogs, not the family) I am not taking them ANYWHERE until #2 is completed.
Ahhh, the things we do for love of… clean carpets and sheets.
All this considered- it’s another Tequila sunrise Casserole sunset… Sorry, couldn’t resist. All of my life I have waited patiently to describe something as “another Tequila sunrise”…but the opportunity just never presents itself. I’m over it.
It’s time for some comfort food that doesn’t require too much of a kitchen commitment from Tracy.
They're white is white again!!
I adore anything even remotely like “breakfast for dinner” …leaves me so much more time to do my nails an’ stuff an' other girlie activities.
Until next time-
Peace in your heart

Godley Station Haunted Vets on Saturday, October 29th, 2011
Mix all ingredients except cheese and pour in a greased casserole dish. Sprinkle top of casserole with cheese. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 or until bubbly.
*I used more of the chopped peppers and onions, and omitted the pimento. I simply did not have any.
I also used 3 c. rice, and a c. or so of cheese.*
