I woke up late on Saturday, so the post on my Blog was late.
Just after I posted it, Jake called. I figured he thought I was dead (lots of
people do when I’m not around), so I said, “I just posted the damn Blog!” He
said he knew that, he saw it and just wanted to chat.
Okay, so I felt stupid. Not the first time and probably not
the last…
Sidebar: Occasionally, I feel annoyed about having to post
this Blog. Seriously annoyed. This weekend was one of those times. So, I am
combining Saturday and Sunday.
After talking with Jake, I jumped into the shower, got
dressed and headed out to the dentist. They have determined I need a mouth
guard and claim that buying a universal one at, say, CVS will not do. I need
the custom ($680.00, not paid by insurance) one from them.
So, Lori filled a tray with clay or something and held it in
my mouth until it hardened. I had nothing better to do than stare at her boobs
(she has nice boobs) until I started feeling creepy. So, I looked at her heart
necklace.
When she finally took that crap out of my mouth, I mentioned
she had a lovely necklace. She said her mother, sister and her all bought
matching ones when her father died to remember him by and she never takes it
off. Sweet!
Sidebar: Then I really felt bad about staring at her boobs…
I can pick up the mouth guard after 10 days, BTW.
From there,I went down Ford Road to Kroger’s. My next
problem was that I had made a grocery list, but left it on the kitchen table.
So, I had to do it from memory.
Everybody was stocking up, I guess. So, I had to park about
a mile away from the store. When I got inside, there were no baskets! So, I
trudged back out and got one.
Sidebar: I did pretty good. When I got home, I found there
was only one thing I forgot!
I got home and put everything away. I was hungry, so I
warmed up the last bean burrito (I don’t know what else to call them) and the
rest of the rice.
I went out in the garage, took off the cover of my
electrical panel and, using my electrical tester, found the correct push-in
block for the garage plugs. I pushed it slowly so many times I was getting discouraged,
but it finally took! Hurray!
Back inside, the phone was ringing. It was my daughter,
Melissa, and we talked for a couple of hours.
After that, there was nothing to do but take a nap. So, I
did.
I didn’t have anything planned for my Saturday night dinner,
so I heated up some canola oil in my medium sauce pan and made some popcorn. I
melted some butter and topped it with that and some table salt. I ate all of it
watching TV and told myself it was healthy roughage.
I slept in on Sunday and it was already snowing when I got
up. And it kept on snowing, and snowing, and snowing…

Monday morning |
My friend B___ called and we chatted for a while.
My neighbor, Rick, came over with his ATV and plowed me out. I went out and talked with him and he said he knew I had four wheel drive, but thought I could use his help. Funny thing was, two hours later, you couldn't even seen where he plowed.
I had two Super Bowl snacks planned, but decided to only do
one.
Sidebar: I am not that big of a fan of football (I like
hockey) but I love the new commercials and the snacks! So, I watch the game
each year. Funny thing was I watched the first Super Bowl game, way back in the
day, quite by accident.
So, instead of making nachos, I made Buffalo Chicken Wings.
I created a marinade by melting three tablespoons of butter and mixing in four
tablespoons of Frank’s Red Hot sauce, a tablespoon of smoked paprika, a half
teaspoon of salt, a half teaspoon of cayenne pepper and a quarter teaspoon of
black pepper. I reserved two tablespoons of the marinade and poured the rest
over my chicken wing drumettes.
I let them marinate for a couple of hours. Then I stuck them
onto a rack, over a half sheet pan lined with aluminum foil. I put the under
the broiler for 10 minutes and then turned them over. 10 minutes later, I
pulled them out, and brushed them with the rest of the sauce. 10 minutes later,
I pulled them out, and brushed them with the rest of the sauce. I let them chill
while I poured out some bottled Blue Cheese dressing and sliced up some celery
sticks.
Then I went in and watched the game, eating an embarrassing amount
of chicken wings!
When it was over, I watched the late night news and then
went to bed.
Official snow total at Metro Airport was 16.7 inches!!!
