Tuesday, April 7, 2009 An Ode to my Mom... My Mother use to say, don't ever ask Kym what she is thinking unless you are prepared to listen. Or another great one is, you never have to ask her, she will just tell you... Or my personal favorite, it's never dull with her around. Yeah yeah yeah... I am a regular joke a minute. I like to laugh and to make people laugh. I find humor is the best medicine. When I was suffering from Corporate Ulcer Syndrome, I found I had no chuckle left in me. I knew I was sick and needed help. My Mom wasn't around for me to practice my schtick on, or to even laugh or yuck it up with. Not many get my sense of humor and to say it's an acquired taste is putting it mildly. I don't go for racial or ethnic things, but I am quite the weirdo about humor. So today being full of piss and vinegar (and not apple cider vinegar) I decided to yuck it up on my dog walk. I was enjoying the windy breeze as Riley and Ruby decided I needed to be walked... As I got down my lonesome street, I ran into a couple of other dog walkers. I had no idea there were "professional" dog walkers. My girls have gone to doggy daycare and I have had a sitter in to take care of them, but I never knew you could have a daily walker. Well, when they spotted me they asked are you a dog walker? I said Yep, full blown doing it for the money, walking the starch right out of them... They were puzzled and dismayed and said, well are you new here? I said nope, been here about 11 years. They were a little disjointed by my presence, I could tell these were the "girls" of the block and they didn't take kindly to new dog walkers, so I decided to have some fun... the silly me said, I am just tracking this route so I can spread my business cards... By the time I got home, my two neighbors down the street were at my driveway asking me what was going on. I seem to have hit a sore spot with the dog walkers... Well I promptly came in, sat at my computer and make a few business cards, and some flyer's... This made me laugh for 2 hours... I might or might now circulate them, but it sure was good for my soul... Labels: Random Thoughts  
The Convention did ya watch??? I have been passionate about politics since I was 14 years old. I loved loved loved politics. I have been to a couple of inaugurations and so on. Even held public office and so there you have it, politics I love... I cannot watch the Democratic convention. I am not sure if its because I am still irked they didn't count Florida delegates, but I think they are the pits... Or is it because I am a Republican? I feel this way, let me know when the Rock Stars are going to appear, then I will break away from the Soap Network and watch. Labels: Random Thoughts
The week flew sorry for being gone.. With Fay the Hurricane, Tropical Storm or whatever she was, it was hectic to say the least. I have a nervous nelly in my office it was quite fun. The weather really danced around and landed no where near me, but the preparations were overwhelming. As it came to a close I breathed a sigh of relief. But I have a few other things getting ready to take it's place in occupancy land... I am planning my engagement party. That's right I am getting married. To a very nice man who laughs at my jokes, or at me, I am not sure which... But planning this party has been interesting. Finding the location, which state, when, who, when, and who... It's a merry-go-round for sure. Did I mention it's a merry go-round??? Anyway, plenty of tidbits will come from this and I hope it will fill you with warmth... Labels: Random Thoughts
Gloomy in Florida right now... The Hurricane warnings are out. Hurricane Fay might become a Hurricane and affect our area. This does not sit well with me, I have a ton of work to do, and I need to have electricity thank you very much. I am going through the freezer right now getting ready to cook up a few things so we can have them in case we are without electricity. One recipe I am trying today for the first time is the Pioneer Womans Chicken legs. www.thepioneerwoman.com. Using panko bread crumbs and yogurt, it looks really good and I think my gang will like it... I will let you know how it turns out. Labels: Random Thoughts
Back in the swing of things... I am in a baking mood. I am going to make my family recipe of Baked Mac and Cheese and some cakes. I am trying to find a good recipe for some perfect ribs. I make my ribs like my Mom made them, but I want a them a little more tender... I love to cook and I love to decorate. I am trying to get my guest bedroom out of the country phase and into the chabby chic that even my Uncle would feel comfortable staying in. Any suggestions? Labels: Random Thoughts
