Not much has gone on in the last few days, so this probably won’t be a very long post (yeah, Bootlady, I heard that sigh!)
Wednesday was both K’s and my brother in laws birthday and so I had planned on taking a homemade blueberry cobbler to K for his birthday since he has no remaining family in town, but he called me late on Tuesday, after I had made two cobblers (one for him and one for work) and told me he had to run to Austin for a there and back trip on Wed afternoon. I called and wished him a happy birthday around lunch time on Wed and I brought the cobbler that I baked for work to the office and everyone loved it.
That was the first time I had made a blueberry cobbler before and even the Boss family ate some and said they loved it. Derrick (my poem critic coworker) said that it was and I quote “BY FAR the BEST thing you have ever made, BY FAR!!!”. I was pleased. It has been a long time since I have baked for the office and I was telling K on the phone while I was making the dough and setting the berries that I felt like I was coming alive baking the cobblers. My kitchen was a mess with flour and sugar everywhere but it was so worth cleaning up when I saw the beautiful cobblers fresh from the oven. Since I didn’t get to give K his, I have a cobbler in the fridge at home that I am going to run by the fire station tonight when I get off work. I will make K a fresh one as they are best eaten warm.
It has been decided that Thanksgiving dinner will be at my house since it will only be myself and my mom and dad. I have invited K since he doesn’t have any family here since Granny died and he doesn’t think he is going to go home to visit his mom in GA for Thanksgiving. I told him that dinner at my house came with one condition (I am not a person to place conditions on things that I offer or when I bless people) and that condition is that he can NOT clean my kitchen after dinner. I call him “my” domestic goddess because Grannys house was spotless and he would make a fuss if anyone left any dishes in the sink, he felt that if you ate off it, wash it and put it in the drying rack. He has not been to my house and since the Paxil I was taking a while back worked magic on the OCPD that I have, he would probably ground me for a month if he saw how I left my kitchen sometimes after cooking dinner.
Anyway, don’t worry; I bought another 24 pack of toilet paper. There is plenty.
Since last nights plans were changed, I called my sister Stef yesterday and told her that I would be able to join the rest of the family for my brother in laws birthday dinner. On the way over there I went through the toll booth and the lady in front of me paid my way. I cried. Yeah, I cried over $1.50. Boots, we know the pay it forward works from this past Christmas but I guess it works more often. I sent up a prayer that the lady be blessed and I proceeded to pay for the guy behind me.
Dinner was good, I ordered a kids dinner as I was still full from lunch. Boss1 decided to treat the office again and so I ordered fajitas and the trimmings for the office and I was full before I finished my second taco. I haven’t been eating much since I started taking care of Granny, I would skip meals without even realizing it. I got full on too little amount of food and remained full most of the night. Did I need to discuss this?
Anyway, today has been a good day, met a new friend here on Thoughts and I am excited about getting to know them. Can NOT wait for the Kris Kringle names to be given out. I am SOOOOO craving going shopping for my KK. Although I am not sure what they would like since I don’t know who its going to be yet.
You know what? I just remembered that I said this was not going to be a long post. Please forgive me for fibbing; I didn’t realize I felt the need to be wordy today.
Love you tons!
