    7. Not sure if this is what you are talking about or not, but this is an easy and delicious recipe I make (From start to finish is about 1 hr including cooking time, prep is about 5 minutes)
      1)Bring a 50/50 mix of Chicken Broth and water to boil
      2)Add Egg Noodles
      3)Cut or tear up pre-cooked chicken (fajita strips work just as well) add them
      4)Add cans of Vegall or frozen mixed veggies (amount depends on how much you make)
      5) Let continue to boil and taste, if it needs more chicken flavor add more broth or bouillon cubes

      You can make it as soupy as you want or add lots of egg noodles to it like I do to make it more of a "chicken and dumplings" kind of texture. Also, if you want, add bits of uncooked biscuits to it to make dumplings instead of the noodles.

      My Dad loves it and has me make it about twice a month. The total cost of it (and remember, this gives us 3 days worth of lunches and dinners for two people, heavy fat people lol) is less than $10.

  2. Basking in the glow of the Packers win, while setting up a database for my fiance's new business. I know, don't get jealous, we can't all live the glamorous life. =)

  4. I'm still trying to wrap my head around Renner commenting on J.Lo's cleavage. Nope, nope, nope. Either he's a much better actor than he gets credit for, or those girls play music. It certainly wasn't due to size.

  5. I'm lying in bed, next to a snoring husband, with my head titled to the right because i filled my L ear with drops. Drinking coke zero out of a straw & trying to keep the drops in. Excitement central, i know!
    How is everyone doing?

    1. Aw, Bee, I hate that so much. And if you tilt just the wrong way, it trickles down your neck and it's like when a fruit fly is around. I hope you feel better soon!

    2. Hey Lady H and Seven - you both gave me big smiles! It ran out when the kitten decided to attack the mustache on my snoring husband's face. She has sharp claws!

    3. Lady H my youtube is working - how did you know i love X? We met John Doe a few years ago at Golden Plains music fest, & he was so cool & nice. Thank you!!

    4. Who doesn't love X?! Exene has always been a hero of mine. One of my besties is very close to the band. I'll have to share stories sometime.

  6. I knew you would appreciate that scene @Count!

  7. Spoiler alert Count. She's so uptight, so she would've had a tightly clenched freckle

  8. That is OK, Bee. Some clit diddlin for distraction, and lots of massaging with the tongue will eventually open things right up.

    When I saw the headline somewhere, I was wishing it was her and not Dumhams rimming a dude. It was like a late Xmas present. Especially since A-Will's fun parts are almost always covered up. I wish she had some attention whore in her. Never a pap shot pokie. Never a candid bikini pic at a beach. It is frustrating in today's world of attention whoring, Fappening, endless selfies that there is a hot chick who is actually human and private.

  9. I think I finally found the perfect theme for my blog - WOOT!

    I'm watching Closer while I work because I absolutely adore Clive Owen, but his writing in the chat with Jude Law "ru4 real" "wot about 2night" is driving me bats. Clive Owen does not chat like that. That's just mental!

  10. Damn Allison Williams and her having some class!

  12. Trying to figure out how I feel about this week's Good Wife.

      *GOOD WIFE SPOILERS*
      Probably the sloppiest episode to date; they built up a lot and couldn't deliver on the follow through. I think they covered other events (Silk Road, NSA scandal etc) much more elegantly. And that kitchen scene was...bleh! However, it offers intriguing insights into the overall state of race relations within the US and the mass media. There was an inherent disconnect between the real issues of racism and police brutality on on hand, and how it is awkwardly discussed by the predominately white politicians on the other. If anything, Ferguson was a buzzword they threw around in a fashion akin to Eli using Nora as his "Black Shield" (best part of the episode), while the real concerns were Peter/Ramona and Gross' divorce case. Just like our great debaters, this episode of Good Wife pays lip service to the issue but runs scared from any real, substantive, or critical examination.

  14. Watching My Husband's Not Gay. Anyone else record this? I don't understand - the men clearly announce that they have what they call "same sex attraction." They would have sex with men but don't because they are married and because they are Mormans.

    1. Sunshine, ive not seen it but read about it. Of course you dont understand it because it isnt rational. These men are gay or bo, but to appease yheir religion- mormon i think- they dont act in thise feelings and get married. It is beyond the pale.

  17. I am avoiding work by reading here and the daily fail and our boring sales call starts in a 1/2 hr. Also cleaning out the fridge by eating what I made (pimento cheese) and leftovers (choco cake for SIL's bd..Same at Gina's!). I'm down to the edge with the frosting and it's way too sweet..Ugh! Pimento cheese on olive bread was good though.

  18. 1- imagining Matt Boner is straight.

    2- wondering what the hell is wrong with Gary Oldman. He is a great actor, charming in his own way, how is it that his fourth wife has filed for divorce, seems all women bail out on him, why is that?

  21. Reading more and more about the Amityville murders and found a pic of Dawn Defeo (the oldest daughter) that looks scarily like a picture I have of my Mom. Then again, they were born the same year (1956) and both had dark brown hair and brown eyes.

    Like I said the other day, I'll just get on a kick about learning about something and focus on that for a while and then go to something else. For some reason I just can't focus on one thing for too long. I guess that's why I've always felt like a failure. Not that I couldn't be successful at something, just that my attention span is too short to accomplish anything. Lord knows how many notebooks I have filled with stories and novels I've started and stopped within a few days or ideas I've had that I gave up on. Being lazy is hard work, guys!

    1. That is awesome! If you ever watched How I Met Your Mother and saw the episode where Ted was teaching Barney the "class" about Robin, I was with a girl at that time and when that came on, she started busting out laughing because she said I was EXACTLY like Barney was on it. (This girl was someone who I went to school with for over a decade, 15 years prior to that time, and remembered me being so bored in school that I couldn't pay attention at all)

      I was so bad about keeping on track back then (not much better now to be honest lol) and I swear this is true. I was doing a book report in 5th grade. I had talked the teacher into letting me do it on 'The Death of Captain Marvel" one of the first "Graphic Novels" Marvel Comics ever did. So I'm writing it up and not even realizing it, I start writing a Transformers and GI Joe story of the figures I had on my bed at the time. I get the paper back and a note on it said "Which is the book report? Please see me." I had done about 50% of each and the teacher (Sr. Mary Ruth, I believe) said they were both good but not a full paper on each one. She gave me the weekend to finish it since she knew I was scatterbrained and so I turned in the finished book report on Monday along with the story. I had forgotten which one was the real assignment so I turned in both just in case. Luckily, we had a creative writing assignment later that week and she let me use the story as my assignment.

  22. Today was zombie day. Had to cancel my Tuesday doctor appt. because my state healthcare expired Dec. 31st. Have been trying to reach my case worker since last Thursday but she's not called back, so I just kept leaving messages on her voice mail. Finally got someone at their main office #. Turns out, my caseworker doesn't work in my county anymore, yet the dipshits haven't bothered to disconnect her voice mail recording (or notify me). Our tax dollars at work guys. I've gotta get my renewal form filled out and returned by the 15th. You know, none of my info has changed at all. Yet every 6 fucking months I STILL have to fill the same frigging questionnaire out. I should just Xerox this one before the signatures and make copies to mail next time.
