KG's Hideaway

Ok that's not really accurate. I'm not really SO hungry. I was just not really satisfied by that ONE little tiny breakfast bar. So... I did the totally sensible thing. It's what any sane person would do. I ate two. I mean really. It's Kellog's fault!! They made those damn Special K Blueberry AND the Strawberry bars BOTH so damn good. And they're only 90 calories each. Yesterday one was more than enough and I actually had to force myself to eat that last bite. Today? Not so much. Anyhoo.

I had to take Austin to the doc this morning and they managed to squeeze me in as well. Austin is sick as a dog, so they loaded him up with antibiotics. He got an early version of the flu bug and if this is any indication of what's coming down the pyke, this is going to be a nasty season.

I'm cooking pan fried chicken fried steak, with mashed potatos and gravy, sweet corn and a green salad with fresh rolls for dinner. Can you believe that when I met Craig 8 years ago he'd never had chicken fried steak that wasn't deep fried? I was like, "honey you haven't had REAL chicken fried steak until you had it fried in a cast iron skillet like the old days." He didn't believe me till he tried it, now he's a BEliever. So I thought that would be my gift to myself. Surrounding myself with my family at the table and then we're going to scrounge up a VCR (We have 6 damn DVD players but no vcrs hooked up anywhere) somewhere in this house to watch one of my favorite movies. It's actually not a movie but a vhs recording of the stage production of "A Tuna Christmas". If you haven't seen any of the "Tuna" productions I HIGHLY recommend them. They are some of the best comedy I've seen anywhere. Look, I can cuss like a sailor some days but I also know to mind my p's and q's when I need to. These productions a saucy enough to cover to funny stuff yet not be offensive. For instance, Di Di Snavley actually says "God Damnit, R.R!!!" (RR is her husband) but there is such a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time between the words God and Damnit that its too funny to be offended. Probably the best part of the whole thing is that ALL of the whole cast of characters represented (a whole town, basically) are played by two MEN! They change characters within seconds and their timing is impeccably funny and even funnier when they're off by even a milisecond because they comment on it and they fire shots at eachother that I guess you have to know the history to "get" but it's worth the time. You can find out all about getting your own TUNA here.

Gotta run to get started on dinner!!!)
