and countdown till spring which is checking in at 54 days. It is very windy this morning and blowing the snow around. It is 30 degrees and the temp is to keep falling until the actual high on Monday is to be 4 below.
Blogger is not publishing my posts until many hours after they are made. I am being scroogled again. Have you seen that ad on TV about being scroogled? http://www.scroogled.com/Home Very interesting.
And now question and answer time.
Question from Keith: “Have you ever eaten fried baloney.” Answer: Yes I have, many times. I grew up #6 in a family of 8 kids. Baloney was a delicacy which we had when daddy was able to splurge. I have mentioned before that on Saturdays if daddy had the money our Saturday lunch would be baloney/cheese sandwiches, strawberry pop and chocolate marshmallow cookies with raspberry filling. And just writing this has triggered a memory as to why I don’t like Jell-O. Mom used to fix jell-O with fruit cocktail in it. It made me violently ill once when I was about 7 years old. To this day I don’t like jell-O and never fix it unless I am scheduled for a colonoscopy.
Question from Blondie: “Is it possible to get your baloney at a deli?” Answer: No, The stores here don’t carry baloney in their delis. I wish that they did. I have been thinking about having some shipped to me from Boston. LOL
Answer for you all. That is a small package of baloney that I purchased yesterday. This is the first package of baloney that I have purchased in at least 10 or more years. So I am going to fix me a fried baloney sandwich and see if the magic is still there.
Closing off with lyrics from one of my favorite songs written and sung by Neil Diamond, one of my very favorite singers.
Lyrics to Talking Optimist Blues (Good Day Today)
~ Neil Diamond and Gretchen Peters ~
I got worries by the ton
Gettin' cancer's only one
Overtaxed and alimonied
Tired of eatin' fried baloney
I got burdens on my shoulders
Dying young or growin' older
There's some brain cells I'm missin'
But despite it all, I'd like to say
I'm gonna have a good day today
Gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today
Bills and pills and former wives
Past mistakes and former lives
Bank account is overdrawn
Out of Prozac, hairline's gone
Hearing voices in my head
Say I should've stayed in bed
Nothing worse can happen anyway
So,
I'm gonna have a good day today
Me,
I'm gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today
Pulled my back and wrecked my car
Girlfriend stole my VCR
Letter came from Sixty Minutes
Say they wanna put me in it
Tell me my career just died
Years ago I might've cried
Now I'm just too old to do it
May be true, but screw it anyway
Me,
I'm gonna have a good day today
And
I'm gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today
Hey,
I'm gonna have a good day today
Me,
Stay safe and be happy!! Me, I’m gonna have a good day today!
Beth
