I want some!

according to my southern living mag,

1. It's never too soon to write a thank you note. (I'm gonna start carrying them in my purse and randomly giving them out, I think. It always tickles me when people do that to me, and it reminds me of the Psych episode with the dude from Happily Divorced.)
2. Southerners never put dark meat in their chicken salad and always use real mayonnaise.
3. A real Southern girl should own an iced-tea pitcher and a deviled-egg plate. (Um, I never make either, but I do own these :| )

Happy Hump Day!

Damn! I actually got first! That is a first! OK Happy am I!

Good morning. Everyone have a great day today.  

I like HUMPDAYS that are also Fridays....

Do you all put egg in your cornbread?

Wouldn't that be called eggbread?

TEWLFTH!!!

Devils won last night, and while I HATE the Flyers, I kinda hoped that they would get to play against that GREAT team, the Rangers, in the Eastern Conference Finals.  Speaking of the Rangers, I think they're primed to win Game 6 and finish off the Caps tonight.  They shot an odd angle shot on Monday and guess what happened?  They scored!  They have been shooting the puck lately.  As I posted yeaterday, I think for the Caps that giving up the tying goal with 6.6 seconds left and then losing in OT took the wind out of their sails. 

Miserable, rainy April day out there..oh wait...it's MAY!  We already HAD May weather in APRIL this year, so I guess paybacks are a b!tch...

Today's thought..."Coffee: The person upon whom one coughs"....

Nyce, did y'all do it at the hartsfield?

I don't get the wait, what joke this time, kurt. it obviously isn't perbetted.

I like Jacoby.

NJ Joe, can you not cook?

Grandpa, shut it up!

I can cook my arse off (eating a roast I cooked last night for lunch)...just never made corn bread from scratch....it's good stuff though.  Does the typical corn bread recipe call for eggs?  I'd assume the egg would hold the bread together....no?

It holds the corn meal together... here's a recipe that calls for two eggs. OMG.

SAUSAGE CORNBREAD BAKE  
 
1 lb. bulk sausage (or Italian sausage, mashed and with casings removed)
1 large onion, chopped
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/2 cup self-rising corn meal mix
1 (17 oz) can of cream style corn
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup oil (vegetable or canola)
8 oz (2 cups) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
 
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Grease a 10-inch ovenproof skillet or 2 qt. baking dish.
 
In medium skillet, brown sausage and onion; drain well.
 
In large bowl, combine eggs, corn meal mix, corn, milk, and oil.
 
Pour half of the corn meal mixture into a greased pan; sprinkle with sausage mixture and cheese. Pour remaining batter over top.
 
Bake for 30-40 minutes.
 
Let stand 10 minutes.
 
Serves 6-8.

Sweet Baby Jesus...

There was NO attempted "Seinfeld Layover' or subsequent pilot-eye-ballin'-me popsicle-block either.  She went on the cheap, so she had horrible connections thru Hawaii, LAX, ATL, & Toronto. She had a weird PTSD/person on survivor gets to eat real food and meet family vibe going on. It was like the immunity challenge win part of her trip home lol. Frazzled, sort of over happy and a bit delirious from sleep deprivation. The lesson here is DO NOT buy the cheapest ticket on travelocity for a flight(s) around the world.

For me, this humpday is MONDAY....I haven't worked since Saturday, but a little cataract surgery made for a 3.5 day weekend....

Nick I agree with BK - and all of you should start jotting down your sports thoughts into "articles" or "blogs" on here more often. It's not like it has to be a big long wordy article - even just as much as you write here in comments sometimes would work beautifully. Don't let the big long perspective posts intimidate you (yes, I know I need to take my own advice on this too).

You never know when something you wrote could get featured.

You people need to draw and wwf faster while I'm at work. I am definitely missing Janet right now.  Jess, you need to just get on wwf.

I'm going back to work today, my eyes are looking a lot better.  The evening supervisor did call me yesterday asking how I was feeling and told me that if I needed to call off for today that one of the other team leaders was willing to cover for me.  I thought that was a nice gesture, but told them I should be able to make it in.

Becky: Is that noon eastern or Pacific?

Nick: Care to put those pics into a small article for the front page and I'll throw it into this week's QTWIB?

What if we write stuff that ain't exactly got no real good English in 'em? You gonna fuss at us?

where'd Janet go?  the Asbury Park Gay Parade isn't till June 3rd.

Ha. I wanna say some sort of Family Vacation Eurotrip thing, idk.

Oh wow....I have a little southerner in my soul! I never put dark meat in anything though...ick. I have an iced-tea pitcher (three of them actually, as well as a brewer), and a deviled egg plate. I've had all of these years before I moved south. Look at me go.

Hi Q'Lets!
I'm SO happy with The Voice. I hate that Chris Mann made it as far as he did, but hearing Carson say his name first made my heart happy and proud of the voters.

For some reason I took a little hiatus from Draw Something - I think I had too many "turns" to take and it freaked me out. I'm back up and running though.

I just got back in touch with an old friend I'd lost track of over the years. He and his family were closer to my ex, and when I was going through the weirdness during and after my divorce I drove a wedge between us for no reason other than the fact that I was being self absorbed and trying to break away from everything associated with my ex. Anyway, a few back and forth messages with him catching up and addressing the past have made me so happy. He and his family are great people and when I look at my past they were one of the very few bright parts about that time in my life. I've been talking to his daughter on FB for about a year now, which has been great too. This type of stuff reminds me of the good that FB can bring to our lives, and one of the many reasons I have one. It's great for the soul to keep good friends close and re-acquaint with those we've thought we've lost along the way. 

I need to figure out a good time and good place to go where I can interact with some dolphins (the sea mammals, not the football players) before I move in just over a month. It's crunch time and that was my ONE thing I wanted to do...and haven't done yet. 

Here's my song for today:

Slipknot: Vermillion Pt 2

Or on a cruise to Bermuda (I think that's right).. close

One of my most favorite songs of all-time and it's exactly how I've been feeling about someone for a very long time.

This is another sad song sung by Corey Taylor that I find amazing:

Zzyxz Road --Stone Sour

I don't know how else to put this.
It's taking me so long to do this.
I'm falling asleep and I can't see straight.

My muscles feel like a melee,
My body's curled in a U-shape.
I put on my best, but I'm still afraid.

Propped up by lies and promises.
Saving my place as life forgets.
Maybe it's time I saw the world.

I'm only here for a while.
And patience is not my style,
And I'm so tired that I got to go.

Where am I supposed to hide now?
What am I supposed to do?
Did you really think I wouldn't see this through?

Tell me I should stick around for you.
Tell me I can have it all.
I'm still too tired to care and I got to go.

I get to go home in one week.
But I'm leaving home in three weeks.
They throw me a bone just to pick me dry.

I'm following suit and directions.
I crawl up inside for protection.
I'm told what to do and I don't know why.

I'm over-existing in limbo
I'm over the myths and placebos
I don't really mind if I just fade away

I'm ready to live with my family.
I'm ready to die in obscurity
Cause I'm so tired that I got to go.

Where am I supposed to hide now?
What am I supposed to do?
You still don't think I'm gonna see this through.

Tell me I'm a part of history.
Tell me I can have it all.
I'm still too tired to care and I got to go.

What if we write stuff that ain't exactly got no real good English in 'em? You gonna fuss at us?

Corey Taylor's voice in slow songs makes me goosebumply.

Going to see The Avengers today, maybe some sushi before!

Cranky today. Amendment One pissed me off. Metro delays piss me off. This feeling I have something bad is going to happen to me soon pisses me off and worries me at the same time. The fact I jinxed the Orioles already pisses me off. The fact no one read my piece that jinxed the Orioles pisses me off. The fact that I don't pick up social cues very well pisses me off, and the fact that I keep letting myself get distracted from studying pisses me off.

Oh yeah, Game 6 is tonight. Since I'm behind on studying, not sure I'll even bother.

Becky's class is getting smoked.. Help her out on the Kings Facespace page

My homepage feed just made me laugh...Ashlie and LoJo -



(forget about the fact that their posts are in completely different threads and that chronologically the bottom one would be first in order. It reads funny.)

Buenos Dias, $h*theads!

I don't have a lot today, so I'll give you this:

Last night my wife and I watched the original Die Hard movie.  At the end, when Alan (Hans) Rickman loses his grip and falls from the tower, my wife pops in with "Thats what you get for killing Dumbledore, you b*st*rd".

Gotta love her.

Ok...I don't understand how at the top left, I have 2,000ish respects and at the bottom right, I have 935.  Which one is correct?

Ok...I don't understand how at the top left, I have 2,000ish respects and at the bottom right, I have 935.  Which one is correct?

It's the opposite for me, the much higher one is on the bottom-right while the smaller one is on top-left.

Mine is opposite too - and look at her number when you hover over her profile pic anywhere - it isn't the same as either one of those; mine at least matches my top left.  Hers is much larger than either one.

So confusing.

Damn 1st graders!

Well, her top left screenshot is 2,077 while if I hover over her profile pic it currently says 2,080, so that just means she got 3 respect since.

So I guess that's the same for all three of us (the top left number being equal to the profile pic hover).

Oh I think I might have been looking at her QBucks - my mistake. 

So yea, the popup on all of ours matches the top left. I have no idea what number the top right is showing, other than that it's bizarre that Christi's is a smaller number than her top left and ours is the other way around.

Linda - Hmm...I don't think so; my top right page shows over 89,500 and the top left shows 20,675-ish, so that would be weird if I had more pages that have respects than I have respects total.. I really think both numbers should probably match but there's a glitch somewhere or one number is showing total from both season one and season two and the other is just season two or something. It's a mystery.  

I think the total on the right side is the respect system using "SFBPQ," and the total on the left is for all respects under both systems. So for those of you that have never gotten rid of their account/reactivated them if you did leave, your total on the right would be higher. Just my guess as to why they are different.

Before I went all ADHD and my train of thought got all fubarred (is that even a word?), here's where my brain was headed:

1.  Normally, I like for my team to lose to the champions.  That said, I'm making an exception this year.  I do not want the Yotes to win the Cup.  I want for the Kings to win the Cup.  Just cuz I think it would be fun to see Becky celebrate.
2.  I have decided that I want to vacation in Mexico City.  Normally (did I really just use that word a 2nd time in one post?), I'm just a tad bit agoraphobic and I can suck it up for a place that sits on top of the effing center of the Aztec empire.
3.  I just finished reading The Hunger Games.  Great book.  It was a pretty quick read, although I didn't get through it like gangbusters.  However, I am reading through book two (Catching Fire) like there is no tomorrow.  And I'm glad payday is just two days away, because I NEED BOOK THREE.  I gotta see how this motherf**ker ends.
4.  My next book, even though I have 500 books I bought at various book sales for dirt cheep, is getting checked out from the library.  It's called Article Five.  Another distopian.  It's had mixed reviews.  More on that later.  I just hope I can move through the other stack of books fairly quickly.  Doubtful, though, since one of them is 896 pages.

I have a file for book 3 that I got from Nellie I could probably send you. I'm not sure what system you use, but I was able to load it up right into my nook under "My Files" and it showed up just like the regular book would have. Let me know if you want it and I can email it to you :)

I'm sure I do want it.  I'll message you my email.  I might need to calm down from reading book 2 for a day or so, though.  I've found myself wanting to beat some people up throughout the course of events in this book.

Since I'm still at work and can't get on FB.............I'm guessing those first graders are my  teach friend's from another school in my district (if not........freak'n jerks...lol). She has season seats in my section. Is it a video? Because i think that was what she was planning on doing...............oh....and it helps having 1,000+ students at your school. lol

Nevermind......the texts I've been getting say it's a Math/Science/Technology Magnet school and yes they are smoking everyone. lol

Yeah you were within 200 when I voted, the last time I saw it you were behind over 250 votes.

Yes - and it gets even worse...and darker. But it's so good all the way through the series. Thoroughly enjoyable. My husband is in the middle of the games now in Catching Fire - it didn't take him long at all to read through the first book and half of this one, and he's not big into reading. 

Sure! Which ones?  My pics from the Dodgers game that I posted on Monday? The ones from today? or both?

Yeah.  There's just something about that last line in the 2nd book that just makes you want to scramble for the third book ASAP.  (No peeking ahead, Christi.)

i hate politics season.
