Guess what?
Based on what I woke up to and how, I'll take the lump-sum payment and make Bret my famous and much loved "ribs and all the fixin's" for dinner when he gets here.
Just wow, man. Now, the dogs (specifically Ziggy, the big-mouthed fucktard) did bark me awake at one point, but, I simply got on my knees (always a fun thing to attempt half-asleep on a waterbed) and beat on the window frame while issuing threats of a violent bent upon his person (dogson?) and he did stfu and I did gbts (go back to sleep).So, basically, I've decided that that doesn't count.
It's all good in spite of him. And, even more amazing, when I came down here (realizing that we are gonna hafta get some heat goin' here soon, dagnabit), I saw that my late-night labors have NOT been thoroughly undone, yay. Of course, there was only one cuppa coffee in the Harley thing, thus requiring me to make another pot, but after a "double-vinegar cleaning" the other day, it makes a pot of coffee in way much less than the 45 minutes it had been taking, so... that don't count, neither.
Technically, I won't NOT have coffee at any point, the cup I did get will last til the new pot is done, so cool. AND, I got the coolest idea for a shopping trip that must be completed by midnight...
Yeah, I s'pose that could use some clarification, right? See, the store I go to (Giant), always has these "point-collecting things" they do.
Like, the more you spend, the more points you get toward gas, free turkeys and ham and money off your next checkout bill. I currently have a coupon that says I get 20% off the next checkout and it has to be redeemed by midnight tonight.
Why wait til the last second, you ask?
Because the guys got paid yesterday and it didn't clear til today and prior to this, there wasn't enough cash readily available to make redeeming said coupon sooner worth it. So, I called and got the specifics as to "by when, at the latest" and such, then hoped like hell we wouldn't have a repeat of last payday's bullshit (which we didn't) and now, here we go. And, like I said, I got this great idea. Somebody, and I don't care who, is coming with me when I do this.
We will each have a shopping cart.
One will be for the "big, bulky things", like dog and cat food, cases of soda, shit like that.
The other will be for the smaller items.
We will utilize both carts (or buggies, if you're blessedly Suth'n) and max out that 20% like champs. Too bad we don't have that new freezer yet.
If we did, I'd have everybody around here at that store, tied together with shopping carts like elephants in a parade. But, the freezer is still mostly jammed full and the pantry (now that I rearranged it) has room, as do other storage-type places around here, so... "not freezer crap" it shall be.
Really, with the boss stuffing the freezer full of beef all the time, all we ever hafta buy is chicken, which is pretty cheap anyway, so... whatever, ya know? Oooh, daaamn, I just got another idear, here... I oughta go on and get the fixin's for a low-country boil again, too... 'Course, I did just make about 75 pounds of chili yesterday.
In fact, my new "bought especially for it", low-country boil bigassed pot is current full of said chili, but... that's why God invented Rubbermaid (no Tupperware here, folks and guess what else? You can "burp" Rubbermaid, too...) storage containers, ain't it? Anyway... I do believe this endeavor requires a carefully thought out strategy, as well as list, so, I oughta get on that.
Plus, I need another cuppa coffee. Also, since my house was not, in fact, returned to it's previously FUBAR state whilst I slept, I think I'll bake a cake.
Or two.
And, maybe also cookies. (can't be trained? we shall see about that and rewarding good behavior is a nice, subtle, sneaky-assed way to start, I do believe...) Meanwhile, Peace, y'all.
