Weekend part deux ...
So I'm back at work today and now I remember why I played the lottery. UGH! Sleeping till noon was really so much more satisfying. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention? I was on vacation last week. It was exquisite! Nah, I didn't really do anything, but isn't that what vacations are all about? Yeah, I kinda thought so too.
The power cord on my laptop has a short in it somewhere. I did some research on the internet and found that a new power cord is gonna run me about $70. I mean WTF? It's a damned POWER CORD! So I'm gonna take it in to a computer store here and see if they can't fix it. My mom has the same brand of laptop as I do, so I asked her to borrow her cord until I could get mine fixed (she doesn't hardly EVER use it) unfortunately they are two different cords and connecters. Fortunately, she let me borrow the laptop so I'm not completely going cold turkey but until I can figure out my password for my outlook express, I may be spotty on receiving or sending e-mails. I feel like I'm on a deserted island or something.
I don't know what got into me yesterday. I cooked my ass off. Homemade chips and guacamole from scratch, My world-famous pork and crab fried riced for dinner and an apple crumble pie for dessert. The fried rice was finished off last night and there is only about a quarter of the pie left so I guess they were okay. Oh, and if you get Blue Bell brand ice cream? Lemon Ice Box Pie. Trust me on this one. You'll LOVE it!
I have a pack and a few cigarettes left and I am gonna try to put them down again. Wish me luck. The doc actually offered some new pill that is supposed to help and I think I'll take him up on his offer. Either way, it's time to quit. I had a complete physical a few weeks ago and passed with flying colors. The diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol are WELL under control. Heart strong, lungs are functioning well, but they say I have the lungs of a 65 year old. Not good but quitting now should help that immensely.
Okay, It's Monday and I gotta get back to work. Have a great week ya'll. Talk to you soon.
Love,
Me

Wow, tough weekend. Since the the dinner went well, maybe that's a sign things are on the up turn.

You are a cooking GOD! Ever thought of opening a restaurant? Can I be your tester?

Lungs of a 65 year old? A little running will reverse that!
