I made plans on cooking the chili again, but things almost flopped. My Sweetie and Princess went to the grocery store this past Saturday and bought the beans and tomatoes, but I forgot to put the chili seasoning on my list. I discovered not having the seasoning after I had opened the kidney beans and tomatoes poured into a pan. So I did what anyone does in the year 2010 – I Googled how to make your own chili.  So now my new recipe goes like this:

Hamburger Meat, Kidney Beans, Diced Tomatoes, Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Chili Powder. My Sweetie added Tobasco Sauce in his own bowl. I don’t do hot sauce. Remarkably the chili turned out just as good as the other night. I’m glad that I figured out the alternative, because it felt more homemade.

It’s currently 30 degrees outside and 31 degrees in my house, nah I’m just kidding about the temperature indoors. We have our central heat and air set on 74 degrees. We also have a small electric heater sitting right next to me. My sweetie and I are a stones throw from having a battle about the electricity bill. I’m prepared to turn off the satellite tv, the water, the garbage pickup, and live on pinto beans and fried potatoes. However, my sweetie doesn’t like my offer on saving money so that we can feel like we’re sitting in Honolulu, Hawaii. Can you believe he expects the kids and I to wear clothes? What’s the point of homeschooling and working from home if you can’t sit around in your night clothes all day?

Random Thoughts:

+ It’s sad that I’m holding my laptop in my lap just to stay warm.

+ Why do my socks keep twisting sideways and I have to stop what I’m doing and reposition them? I can’t stand walking and feeling the seam bump under my toes.

+ How can I love dogs and cats, but can’t stand for them to be on me or in my house? I love to pet the animals, but I don’t like the smell of animals. The dog next door (one of the many) I would like to tie his mouth shut. I’m so tired of the mutt chewing up and dragging stuff into my yard. That stupid dog makes us look like hoarders (I swear it’s not our garbage.). We have lost every pair of goggles we’ve ever bought for our pool because of this little devil.

+ I’m still missing some television shows that have been canceled. (me shedding tears) – Flashpoint, Eleventh Hour, Still Standing, Yes Dear, King of Queens, Rodney, Invasion, Jericho, and Close To Home – just to name a few. And no I don’t watch that much television.

+ It’s not fair that after giving birth you still have to experience pain. After carrying them for 10 months and squeezing the little people through your precious parts and losing your body physique, women should have a break. The back ache is something horrible. Every day it’s like waking up from a car wreck.

+ Cheers to my sweetie for helping me with my wifely and motherly duties, even though I try to avoid helping him with our business.
