Mmmmm, pie....not really

My mother bought a lovely blueberry pie for dessert tonight. I was pretty excited about it (man, I am lame) as I do enjoy a good blueberry pie. I didn't eat all of my dinner, which happened to be a very good homemade stir fry complete with mini corn and waterchestnuts....anyway....I served up the pie with some Blue Bell ice cream and, well, it was a disappointment. The filling was not very good, and the crust was soggy. Man, I hate that....you know, when you have a taste for something and you just can't wait to eat it, then when you get it, it isn't what you thought it would be. Oh well. That just means I won't be picking at it all evening.

Nothing much going around here today. Actually, it was pretty boring. I got up, took the dog to the vet for his re-check....amazingly under $100!....then went and picked up my mom for a quick trip to the drug and grocery stores. Betsy was home with a stomach virus but didn't mind sitting here on the computer for hours on end. I bought her some Hostess mini blueberry muffins....her favorite. I love getting the kids a little something special when they aren't feeling well.

Whilst standing in line at the store I noticed a Woman's World that had the ingrediants to a "cocktail" that is guaranteed to help you lose weight. So, of course I had to buy it. Want to know what it is? Let me save you the $1.49 and tell ya....two garlic supplements with a water/apple cider vinegar chaser. Yup. I paid $1.49 for that. I should have just bought some apples or something. Sheesh. I don't think I'm going to be downing vinegar to lose weight. I'd rather be "pleasently plump" than a "marinated mini-me". Ick.

So, I came home, read my magazine, sat on the swing for a while, chopped veggies for dinner....and so on and so forth. I have been so lazy lately. I think it's from being sick. I always have a hard time getting back into the swing of things after a week of feeling lousy. Oh, I did buy the ice cream for play day....$15.00 worth~! We "absolutely can NOT ask parents for money" when it comes to the kids party....so we room mothers end up shelling out the dough. Doesn't seem quite fair! I don't mind, but the thing is the party is for EVERYONE, so shouldn't EVERYONE contribute? I think a $3 donation at the beginning of the year, by each child would be great. That way we would have $30+ per party. And honestly, if there was a family that couldn't afford it, I certainly wouldn't mind covering their portion. Jeez.

Of course, the only day that we are expecting rain is....Thursday. Crap. I hope the forecast changes before then. It's supposed to be 78 degrees, which will be great. Hopefully the sun will do what it normally does, and bully the clouds away!

I am so freaking itchy! No, I don't have some weird rash....it's the dry weather. When we were in Indiana I thought I was going to go nuts between dry hands and electrocuting myself every time I touched a doorknob. Funny how it never bothered me for 33 years, until I moved here with the uber-humidity. I'm becoming a winter wimp. My idea of a cold day was -20 degrees three years ago. Today? Well, lets just say when the air kicked on I had to go outside to warm up....

Okay, I'm outta here....have a good one!
