Best and Worst

Best:  The wonderful breakfast my wife cooked me today... Bacon, eggs, and the best potatoes ever.  The photo is of her plate but mine looked the same minus the sausage. 

Had a lazy day yesterday full of lots of my favorite ghosty stories and we ate our favorite pasta for dinner. Yummm. So good. 

We tried something new for the new year... Buffalo meat, and we love it.  So much healthier for you and what we are buying is organic. With all the crap being put into our food supply you can't be too careful these days.  So yay a change for the better in the new year.  Noelle brought me this very lovely and very foofy fun scarf. So sweet of her and I love it. So (ME)

I now have three quarters of the poetry for my next book of poetry. Getting closer. We have a couple of trips coming up that will give me lots of material for my writing I am sure.  I got a new computer for Christmas, so happy about that. We are going to be painting again soon (new plates) to add to our collection that Noelle is making for us.  I will post pics when we do.  Mostly I am just grateful.. grateful for all the gifts in my life. So happy. 

Worst:  Some Jerry Springer family shit! I guess there's some in every family.... that's all I'm saying about that. Taking down all the pretty decorations we put up this year. I haven't had to do that in a while and we still aren't done. lol. 

Funniest:  Our cats standing up on their hind legs like Meercats and growling like the dog when there was some sort of disturbance outside. I did not know they could make those sounds. LOL

What I learned:  That standing water in a cat bowl will accumulate salmonella so they not only need to be refilled but sanitized regularly.  

Best & Worst

Best:  Thanksgiving was low key and fabulous. I have never believed in obligatory gatherings... life is too short to spend time with people who don't make you happy.  I am grateful that I get to spend time with quality people that I love. Pure awesomeness.  Today has been about love and laughter and I couldn't be more grateful for the gifts in my life. 

Worst: My doterra oil order was only half correct. So I will have to now contact the company come Monday cause they don't work weekends and probably won't be there tomorrow. But hey...if that's the worst I count myself pretty lucky and grateful. :)

Funniest:  Saying best and worst at dinner tonight and everyone giving me such a hard time about how long I take. LOL Also Noelle scaring the crap out of me when I was getting into the shower.  Had to be there for that one I guess.

What I learned: That there is a Japanese sexual fetish that involves women having sex with Octopus! wow. Who knew?  We saw this on an episode of CSI and I, of course, had to look it up. Wow!

Best & Worst

It's been a while since I have done Best & Worst, and it is long overdue.  There has been a lot going on recently so here goes. :)


Best:  Went wine tasting with our good friend Joyce on Memorial Day.  We had a lovely picnic on the winery grounds and a very relaxing day.  Our C.j. sunshine just had a birthday BBQ here at the L House and it was a blast.  More drunk karaoke, (like there is ever enough of that) :).  One of our original L girls will be coming for a visit soon and it will be good to see her, more drunk karaoke...lol.  I wrote my first article for Expats Post a site I have joined recently and it was well received.  I am very excited and looking forward to writing more for this site.  I also just wrote a new poem after a little dry spell, and that's a good thing cause I really want to release my next book late this year, and time is running out. LOL  We have a rafting trip planned next year with some of our favorite girls. We are so looking forward to that.  A couple of weeks ago a bunch of us girls had dinner with a friend in Burbank and played some very fun bad-mitten.  Now that was a sight to see.  I have signed up to go to a conference in Utah for my Essential Oils.  I know I am going to learn a lot, and it will be a lot of fun.  I have never been to Utah.  I will pick up doing my movie reviews again, now that I know about blog tags. lol  I figured out what was making my cat hork, and I have fixed the situation. Yay.  She is such a sensitive girl.  Saving the BEST for last.... it has been rather cool so far this year, and anyone who knows me knows how happy that makes me.  I am so not a fan of the heat, and it can get pretty hot here during the summer and it is an uncomfortable heat.  The last few summers we have been so lucky. :)


Worst:  I have been having some nagging back pain, but I have to say the Deep Blue essential oil really helps.  I think I must be sleeping wrong or something..., the hangover from C.j.'s birthday BBQ...omg, my laminator took a crap and I have to get a new one..wait (not entirely sure that's a bad thing...it was 10 plus years old)..but I was in the middle of a project and now I have to wait for mail order because it is so so much cheaper than purchasing it at a retail outlet. sighs... :)  So my partially laminated sheet waits.... and waits... lol  


Funniest:  My wife not being able to sleep after C.j.'s birthday BBQ cause of all the jack & cokes I made her.... and the visual of her sitting up watching tv drinking jack straight from the bottle. lol


What I learned:  The definition of piquant.  Well I am not going to tell YOU, if you don't know you need to look it up too. LOL Then you will have something to put on your what you learned. LOL
