Good morning....

I just got back from the bus stop....it's FREEZING out there!  My nose is cold and my hands are cold....everything is cold. I know, you guys up in the north east are snickering, "What a WIMP....she can't take 50 degree weather!" Well yes, I am a wimp. I used to be able to withstand nose-hair-freezing temperatures. But since I've moved to Fl, I think my blood has thinned. I'm getting much more used to the warmer climate. Tomorrow and Friday are supposed to be 75 and 76....that's right. Stew in that northerners!

Today is Wednesday, which means it is "mid-week-cleaning-day". This is the day that I do a once over dusting, make a feeble attempt at washing floors, and dive into the pile of laundry that has grown hair and growled at me as I walked by. I know I say I love cleaning, and I do, but ironing is by far the worst chore known to man. It falls behind washing dishes, taking out the garbage, and even scrubbing the toilet. I think it is because no matter how much you want it to be done, it's a chore that has no shortcut. Trust me, I've tried. "What honey? Why is the collar wrinkle free but the rest of the shirt looks like a road map? It's the way you hung it in the closet! Be more careful." And no matter how careful I am, I always manage to burn myself. My dh says I should be banned from using anything sharper than a butter knife or hotter than a heating pad. 

I need to decide what is for dinner tonight. I'm leaning toward beef stir fry with those little baby ears of corn. It's that or meatloaf (GROSS!). I know, leave your choice in my comments, and I will let majority rule. That way if my family doesn't like dinner, I can blame it on the journals.....yeah....that's the ticket!

My family loves meatloaf, so I'm voting for that--with mashed potatoes/gravy and peas and a salad (I'm good at giving orders, aren't I?) I don't iron any longer because my husband always complained after I'd spend 30 minutes on a shirt that it looked like crap. 100% cotton is the invention of the devil. So all his things go to the dry cleaner and my life has been alot easier. Try it.

Meatloaf!!! My favorite.....add 4 tablspoons of brown sugar to a small can of tomato sauce to pour over the meatloaf when it is done, then set your oven on broil and let it cook the sauce to the loaf......my kids love it that way!!
