Brain Puke XIX

Lots o shit swirling around in the toilet bowl that is my brain. Let's capture some of it here.

Cripes, I haven't done one of these since July; sue me.

Just sunk $1000 into the car last weekend for necessary repairs (fuck).  Money is especially tight around my house right now. :(

Baked a lemon cake AND a chocolate cake on Saturday; beats buying something stuffed with HFCS and preservatives/additives at the store!  And it's cheaper too!

Went thru my recipe envelope on Saturday afternoon; found some tasty goodies to cook/bake now that fall is here.  Pumpkin muffins, banana bundt cake, italian rum cake, corn bread, german pancakes (courtesy of Jim) and slow-cooker lasagna (!).  Of course, there is always Spo cocoa for those cool mornings!

Had the central air conditioner off for a week, put it on Tuesday-Friday, currently have it off again.  Saves electricity AND money, baby!

My boss is away all next week, so you know what THAT means! :)

Got some estimates for some fall cleanup around the .5 acre I call home: $1800.  Fuck again. :(

Now for a commercial interruption; some pussy pix for your perusing pleasure (oooooooh, alliteration!).



Meredith (on the left) and Nyla (on the right); Nyla is looking for a toy under the couch.


Sisters - staring at birds and keeping warm in the sun.



Meredith says, "Pet mah fluffy belleh NAOW!"


Nyla in a similar pose on the sunporch.  She was passed out asleep.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Too many of my boyfriends have had serious health issues lately; this must cease IMMEDIATELY!

Some of my boyfriends have had a difficult time with life lately; this must cease IMMEDIATELY also!

So some asshat PA judge has ruled that my county Register of Wills office must stop issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.  Fuck him AND fuck our asshole governor for their h8.

I think I will make an egg bread today in my breadmaker.

But before I do that, I have to go to the grocery store to buy eggs.  And cat food.  And a few other things.

Woke up this morning to 66F in the house.  Brrrrrr!  Turned on the heat to warm meself up a bit; the heat is now off but the windows are still closed.  It's 10:30a and only 64F outside, yet it's blue skies and sunny all the way.

  3. I spent over $800 in May for the truck, but you sorta have to have tires, dang it.

    Slow cooker lasgna? I want to know how to make that.

    I'm done with my difficult times for now! I really appreciate everyone's support. It really helped.

    Love that chill in the house! I love cool nights, good sleeping weather. I had to get the spread out last night. Perfect!

  6. Thanks for all the food references. Living out hear I forget it is autumn. The monsoon season is ending which means it could be September...or June...not really much difference.

    I agree with Bob about the corn bread though.

    1. yep, it's autumn back east..or not, as the temps fluctuate. this coming week we will see the 80s again during the day. back on goes the air conditioner.

      my late FIL always loved my corny bread any time of year. it's southern style, moist and sweet.

  7. Some of those unfamiliar food names look like no more than pairs of words to me, though they do sound appetising - most especially that mysterious 'egg bread'.

    We are clearly into Autumn here and i've got to start thinking about putting on the heating. Not for myself, mind. I could wait longer. But there are few things more disagreeable than having a cold pussy, is there?

    1. NO COLD PUSSIES! EVER! ;-)

      the egg bread is made with 2 eggs, flour, honey, yeast, milk, olive oil. that's it. it was dee-lish with the lasagna (and wine) we had for dinner last night.
