So, I'm sitting here, with a cup of Earl Grey (my favorite tea), looking at a stack of cookbooks! I need to plan my Thanksgiving menu and then stick to that plan!! I know what I want to make, I just need to follow through with getting it together. I am still having issues with flies!! I think it's because of my neighbors and their dog! Firstly, they don't believe in using a trash can, for their trash....Garbage bags are fine.....and they don't clean up after the dog! It doesn't surprise me though...they are as conventional as a fart in a spacesuit!! They have 6 people living in a two bedroom, 700 square foot duplex along with 2 larger dogs and a cat.....Oh well, not my business....I don't pay their rent!! Anyhoo, back to the cookbooks...I'm going to take them upstairs, along with the tea and have a cookbook pow-wow in my bed, while watching Twilight and then I'm going to finish my sleeping!! My shoulder is finally feeling better.....I'll be able to go back to the gym tomorrow....whoo hoo!! I feel like such a lazy bones, when I don't go to the gym, but I know that if I push too far (typical me) too fast (again, another 'me' type quality) then I'll end up with permanent damage!! Although I can be quite lazy, sometimes I do get tenacious.....occasionally!!
New Moon opens Thursday night, at Midnight.....I am very excited!! I've taken a beating, so to speak, for that excitement, though!! One of the ladies at my church is not so keen on my excitement!! I understand her point, but I do believe that if you're going to judge something, better that you have all of the facts, not just someone else's opinion, before you levee your verdict!! My daughter started with the "Twilight" craze, maybe two years ago......and for a long time, I judged her harshly and vehemently objected to any sort of "Twi-talk" Then something told me, that I needed to be open minded (okay, so I'm not good at open minded...but I have a teenage daughter that I want to raise up right....open mindedness is not an option, it's a prerequisite) and so I watched the Twilight movie with her......and then I watched it again....and again.....and again....I read all 4 of the books.....in 5 days! I could see where she would be enamoured of these books!! It's a beautiful and compelling love story!! Every woman, heedless of age, is looking for a man like Edward Cullen!! The only thing is, Edward is a vampire.....but a good and moral vampire....He has a vampire family....all good, moral vampires, but vampires nonetheless.....and it's just a story! It's not real life....and nothing like it, will ever happen here, in our present time, because everybody knows that there is no such thing as vampirism and lycanthropy is make-believe too....Mariah knows this...and if she holds her boyfriends to the same standard as Edward Cullen, then I am anxious to meet them.....Anyhoo, I don't like being judged unfairly.....and I really cannot stand small mindedness!!
My shoulder/back is finally beginning to feel better!! I am going to start going back to the gym tomorrow!! My brother Kyle was transported to Kaiser Santa Clara, yesterday, where he had an angiogram, to look at the arteries around his heart.....and the one they suspected of being blocked was 100% blocked!! So they preformed an angioplasty and hopefully he'll be going home today!! He's only 30 years old and this shouldn't be happening to him, but he's always been really dangerous with his health.....Maybe this will be his wake-up call!! One can only pray!!
I'm going upstairs now, to finish my tea and plan my Thanksgiving dinner....I will try to be back later.....
Many Blessings,
In Him, '
Lisa
