Food 4 Thought

So I sit on my computer at 12:30 am, and wonder, yet again, what to blog about...I feel like my blog is lame and needs some sort of "theme." Why do I feel like I can't just write what I want?? so ~same bat time, same bat channel~

This past weekend has been ROUGH!! Brian is not working and his schedule just isnt vibing with me! I mean, there is no time to chill and think or veg out. It's go go go all the time. I did hear him say a few times this weekend that this is the busiest he's been in forever. So thank the Lord for that b/c today when I got home from volunteering at the church I was all "I'm napping."----- like end of story, not a question. And NAP I DID! I slept for over 4 hours!! GOOD LORD! I can't remember the last time I did that! Anywho, it was fabulous.

But I'm pretty sure that I love *food* more than sleep. This has been a smorgasbord of food since our...um...tax return and I'm LOVING IT!! Friday was Doc Pierce's Saloon steak for date night. Saturday was Pizza Hut for Mom's 55th. Sunday was Cici's lunch with friends after church that was long overdue. Tonight was Wing's with my awesome sister for some bonding time. Food makes me happy. Food is SOOOOOOOOOOOO something I look forward to. I think about food all the time. I wonder what food will be served at events. I think about where to go out to eat next A LOT. I plan meals and make menus constantly. I like to go to the grocery store when we have money. I love to cook stuff when I can afford the ingredients. I get in on food schedules at church when someone has had a surgery or a baby. I really want to actually LEARN how to cook though...watching Julie&Julia 100 times isn't working :)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE to watch the Food Network and Bizarre Foods w/ Andrew Zimmern.

-------side note--------
Brian just told me that he could only "legally" sell like 5 cars a year on Craigslist without getting his dealer license. WHATEVER!------------------

Anywho, back to food, now that I'm all wound up....food makes me feel good. It makes me happy. I remember Granny's cooking the most as MY COMFORT FOOD! OMG it was awesome!! And her pies are *to *die *for!! HELLO!! And I remember certain meals that mean a lot to me...like Mom's pepper steak, granny's holiday spreads and her Wacky Cake.

Mostly though, nowadays, I like to go out b/c that means I don't have to cook. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Doc's Saloon steak. I love Hana Yori's shrimp with lobster sauce. I love breakfast at Hilltop in Lakeville. I miss Bruno's pizza since they burned that bridge at my 30th in October. I am wanting to check out Ruth's Chris and that new chicago style deep-dish pizza place up in Granger. But I still L*O*V*E McDonald's Big Macs, Friday's, OCB, Steak 'n Shake, Mancino's, Chili's (which I just won a gift card to on the radio...I just had to guess the cheating celebrity spouse...which was David Letterman...but anywho) Charlie's, Olive Garden...I could go on and on! So anyone, if you want to get together with me for a meal somtime and PAY...I'm am SoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO IN!!!! :)

Battle of the Will

So I got to spend another day fighting tooth and nail for the power with my 4 year old, Will. It's like he just thinks he can do whatever, whenever he wants. I'll just call his name, and I know he can hear me, and he just doesn't answer me. I seriously have to get loud for him to acknowledge me. And then he says things back to me like "it's not nice to yell mawmaw" or "I'm not your friend anymore." What the hell do I say to that?! Usually I say something sarcastic like "big shocker" but how is that helpful?? Its not and I know it but its hard trying to teach him a lesson while I'm exhausted and brain dead. Especially after going at it with him day in and day out, and my husband hasn't been home a lot with his new job...so its just me. Even when I ask him who the boss is...he says me but then that doesn't mean anything to him, apparently. And he is obsessed with Playstation right now. He can literally play it for hours and ...

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

This Christmas season started for me in like September. That was the first time I saw a store putting up their ornaments to sell and I thought "Geeesch, it's not even October!" But I did find Em's ornament that day, at that store and it's perfect. Anywho, when the "real" Christmas season rolled around I was bombarded by texts from women talking about "christmas decorations is gonna cause us to get divorced" and "I hate how he puts the lights up outside" or "I hope he doesn't expect me to wrap all these presents" or "he wants to just buy everyone a snuggie." I laughed a lot at these texts because Brian does leave the shopping to me (thank God) and actually will pretty much do anything I ask him to do (and he's quite the little wrapping perfectionist I might add). But the decoration fights/arguments, I finally understood...I couldn't recall doing it in the past but for some reason, we did this year. Anywh...
