Friday Footnote’s

We finally had our first frost last night. Not a hard frost, but enough to make the grass crunch under my slippers when I took out the girls. The thermometer said 29 degrees (F).

I planted my spring bulbs yesterday. I planted Day Lilies in a variety of colors, against our stone wall. I think this will look nice. Of course the bending and planting motion has my lower back just a little sore this morning.

Although I am thrilled to death that my gallbladder is fine, the alternatives of either an ulcer or acid reflux disease are leaving me feeling grumpy. Both require very low fat, very bland diets, with NO coffee or tea. Not even decaff! They want you to drink lots and lots of water. Now, I believe that water is for bathing in, for cooking in and for watering ones garden. But, I simply hate to drink water! Yuck!
I also love spicy food. Give me tacos with jalapenos and super hot salsa, or steak with horse radish sauce, or even the hottest Buffalo wings! Heaven! Plain chicken cooked with no bread crumbs or spices or anything served with boiled vegetables…well, it’s too much to even contemplate! Part of me would almost rather have the darn gallbladder cut out and be done with it!

I loved The Apprentice last night with The Donald. Letting Kristi go was the smartest thing. Not only was she a bossy know it all, but she was abrasive and unfriendly to everyone else on the team. Randal, who I really like a lot, had her sized up very quickly.
And Martha’s Apprentice was also quite good. Although I think the young father who acted so outrageously during the project, (I think his name is Jim) should go home soon. He is just plain obnoxious!

Keep your fingers crossed that Hurricane Wilma doesn’t go into Punta Gorda, FL. They really got clobbered with Charlie last year and still have not recovered. I lived there for 6 years and have many close friends there and would hate to see them have to go through that again. Of course I feel like a real genius for moving back north. But after a while I started to find Hurricane season, fire season, tornado season, hot, hot, hot etc… all a little hard to take. Snow I can shovel, the rest down south was more than I could stand.

A happy Friday to all!!!

  1. It’s only in the 40’s here this morning..Its 56 now. I love this especially since the sun has just come out. I agree with both of your assessments of the Apprentice’s…I wish Martha would get rid of that Jim dude. He was a real creep when it first started, died down a bit and now he’s back being a jerk. The “project boss” should have done something in the store. Even if it didn’t work, at least she could have said she tried…and as far as the Donald..yep…that girl was quite annoying. At first I thought she was cute etc but then she became more like fingernails on a blackboard. You know, I think you and I may be the only two people in the world watching Martha. I like that show…Supposedly the ratings are pretty pitiful…..oh well..
