How to survive the holidays and family…

Rae just bought one of these bottles…..it helps her survive the family drama. Not only did she just buy a bottle, but she bought the biggest bottle you can buy.
MMMMMM mind numbing.
Here is another recipe to get you through the family holiday time (yes, I am reccommending drinking with family time):
Kentucky Mulled Cider
1 Cup Maker’s Mark [...]

We survived…

Hubby and I decided to go out for a quick look-see on Black Friday. Yea, we are crazy….but we survived. No major bruises, scrapes, or tramplings. However, I did talk with people and apparently some people had been in lines for stuff starting at 6pm on Wednesday! WHO DOES THAT? That means they MISSED Thanksgiving! [...]

Dinner Prayers

We all got together for a beautiful Thanksgiving Spread. Lots of food, lots of fun, and lots of unbuttoned top buttons. One successful and juicy smoked turkey and another oven roasted turkey….all and all successful. No killings, no burning the house down and Hubby still loves me…..I call that successful!
We all sat down to the [...]

Chore Wars

I created the T-Day chore list and this was our conversation a few nights ago (luckily I haven’t killed Hubby yet…I still need him to make the turkeys):
Me: Do you want to sweep or mop?
Hubby: Neither
Me: That is NOT an option.
Hubby: Neither
Me: I am going to stab your eye out.
Hubby: So what. I hate your [...]

The Kewl Texter

Recently I spent some time with the entire family and I taught my Uncle how to text. I don’t know what is with these OP’s (old people—but being a nice niece…I fell for it) they think they want to be so cool and learn technology, so I fell into the trap. Here is what happened: [...]

T-Day Freak Outs…

This weekend I sorta, kinda, without-telling him volunteered Hubby to smoke a Thanksgiving bird, along with cooking the traditional bird too. Now I know what you are thinking….WHAT?!
 And I think Hubby felt the same way, but you see the thing is… is that he LOVES to cook for people…the more the merrier and I love [...]

The Coupon Nazi

This weekend we did our major Thanksgiving grocery shopping and let me tell you….it was not fun. However, we did do our homework and research because Frys Grocery Store is accepting competitors coupons, so we had to maximize our grocery shopping! We researched and cut millions of coupons…and saved a lot of money in the [...]

The Evil pets….

The pets are evil. I don’t know what their deal is….but the one time we can sleep in is on the weekends they REFUSE to let us. I think they are a tagteam. I can actually hear their conversations:
Americus (the LOUDEST, MEOWING cat you will ever meet): Ok, everyone here is the plan. I will go [...]

When a Man Loves a Woman…

This is an actual texting conversation between me and Hubby today:
Me: Dinner?
Hubby: yes please!
Me: NOT IT
And, my friend WTF (check out his blog called WTF–from my blogroll) accuses me of NOT IT gluttony….. Perhaps he is right! But, then again he is a blogaholic! So that is like calling the kettle black, right?
