Act IWe decided to spend the day with the lights off because it was over 100 degrees and just too hot. I decided that, despite the heat, I needed to make some meatloaf for my brother-in-law who had just spent the day moving into his new house. Pasta salad would have been more appropriate, but I knew he would like meatloaf.
After my ground turkey had been defrosting in the microwave for 10 minutes, I opened up and poked it. Nope, still frozen. It microwaved for another 5 minutes before I pulled it out. Just as I was about to throw my lump of turkey meat into my bowl of meatloaf makings (egg, milk, onions, etc.), I realized I was holding a giant still frozen together lump of pork chops.
Pork loin chops, to be specific. Not ground
anything. Apparently, we're having pork tonight and I need the lights on to do anything.
Act IIMy friend asked me to lunch on Friday. That would be tomorrow. But she asked me on like...Tuesday. So when she asked via myspace, I thought to myself, SURE, but didn't reply. Then on Wednesday she sent a facebook message and I thought to myself, Yeah! I said yes!, but didn't reply. Then today I get a call wanting to know if I am avoiding them. Um, no? I mentally replied yes, isn't that enough? No, apparently it's not. And that didn't occur to me until a few minutes ago.
Act IIII have been babysitting my nephew, Erik. Yesterday we went to the grocery store and as he was helping me unload things from the cart, a lady commented that he was such a nice boy for helping his mom. He replied with "YUCK, Ugh! She's not my mom!! That's my AUNT" to which the lady apologized and said he was still being a good boy. Erik looked at the lady for a minute and then said, "Well, I have to be, or she gets real crazy." He then wandered off to look at the watermelons. I guess I need to be careful that I'm not real crazy anymore.
Enjoy your holiday, everyone!
