Teabag Tidbits

I had an upset stomach, and was searching for a peppermint teabag, and got this one.  My youngest daughter said I should share this.  It's pretty funny.  It's comical.  It's entertaining.  At least to me it was.  



If you can't read the teabag tag in the photo, it says "You will feel fulfilled with you do the impossible for someone else."

My 17 year-old was at the stove baking a lemon pound cake from "Cookin' with Home Storage" by Peggy Layton.  I had just gotten home from shopping with Hubby.  As I read the teabag tag out loud, we both laughed.

I'm a chicken chaser, goat babysitter, house and garden watchdog.  I do not own "fancy" clothes.  Hubby was making me go to his holiday company dinner.  By saying "making" me, I really mean it.  He took to me to town to look for a "nice" outfit.  He failed to tell me (found out on arrival) that it was semi-formal.  Almost all the woman had cocktail dresses on.

I was trying my hardest to get out of this shindig.

Anyway.  I had an upset stomach, and was trying to put off getting dressed.  

We ate, I met several of his co-workers (dates, wives, girlfriends), we laughed, and we danced.

I did the impossible.

I went. 

Drinks were included.  You can bet I saw more entertainment there than I did at home watching LMN or Bravo. 

.....it's a blogpost right?  Not farm, self-sufficiency related, but a blogpost albeit.

Ha!
Yes, it's a blog post.
It's how I do it too...
Your story made me laugh--being somewhere you don't want to be CAN BE HIGHLY ENTERTAINING. It helps me to take the edge off, by watching others.
I'm just evil like that. ;)

And a fine blog post it was too! :)
I would HATE to have to go to an 'affair' like that.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
