TOTALLY GEEKED!

Doesnt everyone need one that says "Vette's SS"?

How I spent my day..

Just got back from the dentist. My hygienist was wearing slippers. I politely informed her she was wearing the wrong shoe choice and needed to be wearing heels. I told her she was out of fashion and that she needed to be dressing to please her husband and other men. And yes, I really did say all this to her. She's sweet. 28, married, and has a two year old. I have her on my FB page. I brought her a home made loaf of bread and jar of jelly. She told me she never wears heels because she looks like a newborn calf wearing them. She said she dresses for comfort. I told her she needed to get a clue. She's adorable. I love her.

Yep, just snow blowed the driveway of the most hated, obnoxious neighbor. He was struggling for the past 3 hours just doing the snow plow crap at the end of his driveway. He had not been home during the entire storm. Couldn't watch anymore, Did his driveway in under 1/2 hour with my snow blower. He was on the verge of tears and so thankful. DD asked me why I did that, told her it was the right thing to do. He actually hugged me when I was done. He isn['t a bad guy just ignorant.

 What a wonderful example you set for your DD. I always try and take the high road and encourage the kids to as well. It is one thing to preach it, and another entirely to do it. Good for you!!

Ok so the problem now is he put a gas can in my garage and the garage smell like gas.  I'm putting the can outside.  Yeah, it is the right thing to do with his driveway and letting DD know.  That's what you should do.

IKWTDS, there was a clip on the news of a woman out shoveling snow and she made me think of you. Of course I have only seen your picture on here a time or two.

She was talking about shoveling for three hours too.

I'm sad because no one got my original post.

 I got it but I just now read it!  Why don't you invite her to join the board?

Is it to replace what you used blowing his driveway?

What does your blower use?

It may compress in the cold but it will not hurt its effectiveness.

If it were diesel it would gel in the cold.

And I am still not Ed.

Some gas is stronger than others. If it still has fumes, it isn't that old.

The fumes are what ignites so putting it outside is the best thing to do.

Maybe it can be used to help burn debris this summer.

 It's the can I worry about. Pretty sure it is not regulated.  i put it outside so my house does't go up in flames.  However, it may be something else creating the fumes so will check the garage later.

 Oh, I should!  She's a hoot!  She's a country girl through and through.  She wears camouflage and goes hunting.  She carries a gun and has shot a deer.  She's got a wicked sense of humor.

 What an I missing???

 You missed me telling my dental hygienist that her slippers were inappropriate and that she needed to be wearing heels.

Repeat after me.

Only 52 days till Spring. Only 52 days till Spring. Only 52 days till Spring.

I'm sorry. I was really trying to cheer you up.

I have home made chicken and rice soup simmering. Waiting on the bread to finish baking.

 YUM. ME.  That sounds wonderful!

Gotta tell you that soup was delicious. And we took the bread out of the bread maker as soon as it beeped and sliced big fat slices and put butter on the hot slices... Heavenly.

 That sounds amazing. You do such an amazing job making a little go so far.

 Awwwwww thanks.  I love cooking.  Most of the time my stuff comes out great.  Sometimes it flops.  And I love a challenge.  So it's fun to me.  I got called a Prepper last night.

I told them I didn't consider myself a prepper in that true "preppers" are pretty much preparing for the end of the world. They hoard. My push, at least this past year, has been to get back some of the skills that our grandparents had. Ones that are lost on our generation. Seems everyone in my generation opens a can or a box to make dinner. I don't want to be like that. I want to be able to prepare meals using basic ingredients and make more wholesome meals. I also want to be able to rely more on myself like our grand parents did with gardens and putting things away. When I can a jar of spaghetti sauce or chicken broth and am able to pull it out later without running to the store for something I am pleased. DH and I have gotten to the point that we have plenty and now we just look at the sales every week and buy only what is on sale.
