Will Willie sing for a plea??

I am sure by now you all know that I am a huge Willie Nelson fan.  I don't agree with his lifestyle, but hey, that is his business.  I got the biggest kick out of this article I saw in today’s paper.

Prosecutor wants Willie to sing for plea

EL PASO, Texas, March 30 (UPI) -- A Texas prosecutor has recommended singer Willie Nelson settle up a marijuana possession charge by pleading guilty and singing a song in court.
Nelson, 77, was arrested in November after Border Patrol officers allegedly found pot on his tour bus.
Although settling such petty cases is usually done by mail, E! News reported Tuesday Hudspeth County Attorney Kit Bramblett said he thinks Nelson should pay a fine and entertain the court by singing "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" as a community service.
"You bet you’re a** I ain't gonna be mean to Willie Nelson," Bramblett told the Big Bend Sentinel newspaper

Yay, another running day...

This life I am leading here is far different than it was in my old little town. There I went to the fitness center to workout 5 days a week and to the post office to check my mail every day. Once a week to Champaign to get groceries etc. No family within 100 miles in 2 different directions. Here I have family, lots of stores to choose from and many places to eat, plus a Kroger store. I love Kroger's, not quite as much as Meijer but close. I miss my home and friends and visiting the cemetery. I am hoping Marcia will go with me in May to put some flowers on Jim’s grave.

Today my daughter and I went to East Peoria to check the dollar stores. She is looking for some wooden spoon for a craft to use at church.

No luck finding the spoons, we stopped by Kohl's. Something about that store is magnetic. It just draws you inside and invites you to spend money. I bought a couple of things, some potting soil, etc.

Next on to my favorite eating spot, 8th Street Station aka Grumpy Pete’s where we had the buffet. Fried chicken, meat loaf, BBQ beef ribs, mashed potatoes and green beans plus the soup and salad bar.

By now I have missed Y & R so I am going to have to watch it on the DVR. The nice thing about the DVR is that you can fast forward through all commercials.

I am looking forward to a visit from my son on Saturday. I have to make lemon cream cheese bars on Friday which he always requests.

I am on my way to see what you all have been up to. I hope you have all been good. If not Santa won’t bring you anything.

A note for my recipe blog followers…

I had to delete my recipe blog because of some major problems with it.  I have redone it and moved it to another spot.  If you would like to follow on this recipe blog my new address is http://msbethmariesrecipes.blogspot.com/

I hope you  will continue to follow me at my new blog.  Thank you so much and happy cooking.

It is an iffy day, chilly, 37 degrees and snow flurrying.  I have been out and about, to Wal*Mart, to pay my rent, Kroger and on to the bank.  I barely got home in time to watch Y&R and you all know that is one thing I hate to miss.  The show is bordering on the ridiculous right now but I think that is helping me to stay sane. 

I finally got everything all settled with the cable company.  I spoke to a very nice young lady and everything was settled in a gracious, courteous way.

Now I just need to get some energy to do the dishes and some dusting and vacuuming.  Will I, or won’t I??  That is the question.  Well, obviously I will clean up the dishes because I don’t like a messy kitchen.  I cleaned the dreaded bathroom yesterday so that is done for a few days.

So, I guess I had best get up off my rear end and get busy.  I hope you all are having a good Tuesday.  Say safe and be happy!

Did you ever…

wonder why you can be yawning like crazy and your eyes won’t stay open?  Then you take yourself off to bed at your regular bedtime only to toss and turn for hours.  You suddenly have half a dozen arms and legs and they are all going in different directions.  This is happening to me a lot lately.  Once I get in bed my mind replays all of the worries in my little world then goes on to replay all of the worries in my big world.  Anyway, after a very restless night I am not feeling or looking great.  Needless to say I am having a bad hair day too.

The turkey loaf turned out to actually be very good.  At the last minute I added a teaspoon of dried onion flakes.  I am not a turkey fan.  Even at Thanksgiving I bypass the turkey and eat the stuffing and the other good stuff.  I am trying to eat healthier but my poor old body rejects that idea.    As for Mrs. Dash  in answer to a question from Nita, it is a blend of herbs and spices that is salt free.  I have used it for many years.

It is sunny and 23 degrees with the temp to reach the lower 40s today.  I can handle that as by Sunday it is to be in the 60s again.  My plan for today is to clean the bathroom thoroughly.  That seems a pretty good idea as I kind of feel like k*** right now. 

I hope you all have a great week.  Stay safe and be happy!!
