Go Pedro! Go Pedro!

I love winning the first game of the season!!! Because you know that even though I’m not a member of the team I consider it a win for me.

I have been meaning to mention:

Keebler Chips Deluxe wins hands down over Chips Ahoy. I know they are amazingly similar and may in fact come from the same cookie extruder, but I now vote Chips Deluxe. The only thing that would keep me from buying them is my desire to a)not regain any of my lost weight, and b)Shaws having Chips Ahoy on sale, buy one get one free, approximately every other week. And they always go on the first endcap when you walk in the store. The weeks Chips Ahoy isn’t on the endcap it’s usually got Wheat Thins and/or Triscuits on it. I mean, let’s have some variety people.

I’m actually scared if Chips Ahoy sales are so successful that it’s almost a permanent thing. But I won’t complain, my spaghetti sauce is $1.79 or so off per big huge jar this week. I bought three on Saturday, but that’s because I didn’t even have a little wire basket.

The Boy is home with me today with a bad nose, sore throat and a low fever (100.4). Fun. Oh well, at least I don’t have to take a day off. Although I do have things I’m trying to get done. Now that I helped him finish “Mickeys’ Magical Mirror” I have been allowed to leave the couch for my laptop.

Finally saw Monsoon Wedding last night. Great movie, although quite frankly, I think the bride was miscast. I cared about almost every other character in the movie but her. If I were the groom, I would have dumped her for her cousin. Those were her cousins, right? I got a bit confused when it came to keeping the cast straight. The guy from Australia – was he a cousin? Was he the brother of the two girls who lived with the bride but weren’t her sisters? Was the Donald-Sutherland look-alike their step-father? What the…

Other than that (and hey, it didn’t stop my enjoyment one bit) I loved it. I don’t understand why it was rated R, but maybe I missed something.

Tonight: Snow this evening, with continued snow showers late. Low 28F. Winds NNW at 15 to 25 mph. Snow may accumulate 2 to 4 inches.

Tomorrow: Snow flurries ending with partial cloudiness and windy conditions continuing by afternoon. High 38F. Winds WNW at 20 to 30 mph.

Oh yea. 30mph winds. Ya, my recycleables will stay in the bin. Brrrrrrr.

p.s. Oh, THAT was fun! Doing the rubbish in hail!

It’s another lovely rainy day. I’m about to go fire up a fake log, just because it’s the kind of day where you get a chill and can’t get rid of it. I think by Thursday it will be better around here.

I have to watch a movie now, because it’s due back to Blockbuster by noon tomorrow. I should never rent new movies. I know myself. And even though it was a free rental (the ONLY reason I got it) I still want to watch the thing before it’s due back. The problem is Junior has a movie HE has to watch before it’s due back. So I guess like My Big Fat Greek Wedding, I’ll be watching this one on my computer with headphones while he’s watching his. Else I’ll have to take the computer to bed and watch it up there.

p.s. Oh how I dread doing the rubbish. It’s recycling day tomorrow. I never know which truck is going to come first, so I can’t put it off. I have a whole bunch of cardboard to put out but I forgot to buy twine today, so I guess that will have to wait. Grrrrrrr.
