So, I'm at Giant...

wearing the headphones, listening to Def Lep for the first time in a while and I go in the door I never go in, down by the produce section.
(I usually go in on the other end of the store...)

I start through produce and see corn on the cob.

I hear Sr., in my head, mentioning something he wants me to make for dinner again.

I stand there, wondering if we can really afford this right now.

The CD player changes songs, goes into "Two Steps Behind" and I hear a growly Southern voice say, "G'head. Fuck the cost. It's gonna snow really bad and it'll be damn good eatin' that, watchin' that snow comin' down out the window. It'll be fine. Do it."

So, I did.

I got the shit I need to make a Low Country Boil.

I also got enough other crap so I shouldn't need to go to the store again before Spring, if I'm lucky.

Got two loads of fuel. (A "load" being two full five gallon cans...)

Sr. actually... get ready for this... better sit down... Sr. did... THE DISHES!!!!
AND... not because I asked him to OR because he read my earlier post (he doesn't read me anymore)... he did it because he wanted to cook steak for dinner and the kitchen was so screwed, he couldn't without cleaning it first.

Whatever.

He did 'em.
Yay, him.

Now, maybe, I can get the rest of the "umph" together to clean the rest of the place.

Get it clean, do the Boil- get it done and on low heat- bake some cookies, maybe...

Just wanna do everything I can think of to at least figuratively give this coming storm the finger.

Did I mention that yet?
Another damned storm, same as the last?
Lotsa snow, topped with a sheet of ice.
Lovely, eh?

S'posed to start about 9am and last til midnight.

All I want is to have this house clean, warm, and smellin' good, with good cooking happening and fresh cookies around.

I want it to be as "anti-winter" in here as humanly possible.

And...
it will be.

Meanwhile, I need to make a run to the library, feed the dogs, feed the other dogs, let them out, go get a coupla bags of scrap hay to clean the critter cages with when I do them, then I'm gonna lay down for a while and start this cleaning crap in the morning.

For starting out this day feeling as "not good yet" as I did, I've gotten a lot done.
I'm a bit worn out.
In a good way, though... for a change.

And, I forgot to mention the coolest thing I've gotten lately....

The other night, coming home from that church dinner we all went to, we stopped at Weiss' instead of Giant.
(That's another grocery store...)

We needed a coupla things and while the guys were getting them, I was being distracted by this "Easter item" I just had to have...

It's a yellow, fuzzy chick, about 8 inches tall, wearing white bunny ears, who, when you squeeze his wing, does the Chicken Dance.

Too cute.

Not quite a farting Teddy Bear, eh Dad?
But... close enough.

*grin*

Peace
