sNOOOOOw..

If ya know me, ya know that I am soooo not a fan of snow.

However, I have three little Scottish Hooligans

who absolutely love it.

Sooo, we had to let them out for a little fun this morning.

Poor little Fergus was sick the other day, so he got

to take a trip to our vet, Dr. Swoope.

I figured he had an Upper Respiratory Infection

because he was coughing and hacking, and got sick a couple

times, couldn't get comfortable, wasn't eating and just wasn't

feeling very well.  Turns out, he has acute tonsilitis.  : (..

He's been on amoxicilin since then and is feeling a lot better!

 

 Here he is with his snowy little face,

and the red hoodie that Grandpa sent Emmy

or Milo when they were younger.

And this is Emmy in the Peace Sign hoodie,

and Milo in his sporty, gray hoodie,

chasing down a snow covered sugar gum ball.

 

Hit the backspace yesterday and lost my video..
Closed the post out and forgot to go back
and reload this.  Whoopsies! 



Sunday Funday Too..

Had fun with some friends yesterday.

: )..  So much fun, that we had to write an

excuse for one of us who was late to work.

 

"Cyndi was participating in extra curricular employee

health activity - we were increasing her endorphines

and decreasing her blood pressure through

expressive therapy and chocolate.

Please forgive,

Love the mob

(see photos enclosed on fb)"

Signed by the wine mob members..

Lol..  Good times, good times, good times..  : )..

Buon Cibo * Buon Vino * Buon Amici

We have never had a bad wine mob meeting..  Ha!

It's impossible!

 

Started today's fun by enjoying a delicious

brunch at Ophelia's Restaurant and Inn

down on the Independence square.

 

Then I brought out my mom's vintage measuring

spoons and whipped up some super

yummy, delicious semi-retro

homemade chex mix.

I loooove that stuff!

Brings back holiday memories of

my parents, Christmas presents

and decorations, as well as my favorite

Aunt Lou's laugh as she and my mom sat around

the kitchen table.

Good times indeed.

Missed times indeed.

 

 Melted 6 tablespoons of butter in my mom's

vintage roasting pan.  Lol.

 

I added 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce,

1 teaspoon of onion powder,

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

and 1 1/4 teaspoons of seasoned salt and added

them to the melted butter.

 

Mixed my snacks together,

added 4 1/2 cups of Corn Chex Cereal,

4 1/2 cups of Rice Chex Cereal,

1 cup pretzels, 1 cup peanuts and

although they weren't exactly "retro"

I added a few Goldfish snacks too.

 

Poured them into the seasonings.

and baked the mix for 1 hour at 250 degrees,

stirring every 15 minutes.

Finally, I spread it out on paper towels to let it cool.

 

 

And finally, speaking of retro..

Here is a definite retro picture..

It's one of my favorites, I

found it when we were cleaning out

my Aunt Lou's house a few years ago.

It's a picture of my Aunt Lou, Uncle Richard,

my Grandmother "Mer", my Mom

and my older brother Jeff.. and..

finally.. not an actual picture of me..

wait!  Lol..  This is an actual picture of me!

 

 

Now?  It's time for the Chiefs and Bronco's

football game.  I feel like William Shatner

when I'm watching them this season..

"Don't throw the ball to.. (interception) them!"

"Don't lose the.. (fumble) ball!"

"Don't run through.. (pile of bodies) the middle!"

It hasn't been a very good season..

At least it's almost over..

Finally.

Whew.

 



Chris Pureka - These Pages

Spent part of yesterday listening to my Po'Girl Pandora Radio Station,
ooooh how I've missed it so.  Thought that it was mixed in on the shuffle,
but I don't think it was because it's been quite a while since I've heard this
great song. : ).. I love the radio version, but I really think that I love this
live version even more.  Great song, great sound.

Va-Va-Va Varoom!

 Dodge came out with the slogan,

"Don't you buy an ugly truck!" back in the 90's

when they unveiled the bubblish hood.
I hated them at first.  Lol.

Then I had a black one drive by

and that was all it took.

I was hooked!

This is a

Mercedes Benz conception model.

Cute!  I'd buy one.

Well, if I could afford it..

: )..

 

I have never been a huge fan of vintage cars.  Eh. 

I can do with them, or without them,

until Nicolas Cage introduced me

to the only female movie star that I

will ever truly, deeply, madly love..

Yup!  It's....

Eleanor!

 

Such a suhweet little lady!

Ooooooh yeah!

I got to meet her!  Up close and personal!

She came to one of our car shows a few years ago,

and I not only got up close and personal,

I got my picture taken with this

delicious, awesome, beautiful car..

 

They had seven Eleanor's for the filming of "Gone In 60 Seconds".

One was totaled while filming the beginning of the big jump scene,
 one was totaled while filming the landing, and

one was totaled when they smashed the car in the junkyard.

The last three ladies went on tour.
 

Looks like at least one

made an appearance at the Barrett Jackson Auction
at some point in time.

I bet it brought in a pretty good penny!

Whew!  I luv me some Eleanor!

Suuuuuhweet!

Muah! Muah! Muah!

: )

Whew!

Short work week after my four day weekend and

Christmas, but lemme tell ya!

We've been making up for lost time!

Yikes.  Normally I do about 35-40 evaluated

calls in a day, today I did 82 after

working an extra 4 hours.

However, the people at Halls must have

known that I could use a little encouragement.

: )..

This is what they had to say..

 

 

Right on time, Halls!

Right on time!

 

We have one more day to go, and still have so many more

calls and operators to evaluate, but by gosh!

I'm going in for another 12 hour shift and

we will make it!  I know we can!

When push comes to shove, and our noses

are on the grindstone, we make it, and

we make it look easy!

Woot!

Go Team KC QA!

No!  Really!  Go!

Do those evals!

One last Christmas item. Lol. My favorite one. : ).

Merry, Merry Christmas.. : )..

I Said Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

It's ccccold out there!  Santa better have his thermal long johns on tonight!  He might be leaving a little more than toys out there if he doesn't.  He stopped by here already and left some super grateful little pups some toys.  We won't mention the poor Santa toy was in tatters a few short minutes after the puppy scramble.  Lol.  We will just keep that our little secret.  : )..  And as he drive out of sight, he said Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Infomercial Item Palooza.. : ).

Uh oh..

I love informercial products..

Now?

I have run into one of the catalogs

from Harriet Carter,

which seems to be Informercial

Item Palooza multiplied many times over..

Lol..  My pocketbook may never be the same again..

Rut roh!

 

I need one of these!

This is my latest informercial favorite..

The one I want is called the Forever Comfy

foam pillow, which sells for $20,

but seems to be $30 through Harriet Carter..

However, there are soooo many other

great items that are reasonably priced

on the website..

Rut roh..

Lol..

That could be a bad site for me to look at!

: )..
