Off the wall............

       It's Sunday.  It's cold outside.  Sunny and pretty, but
cold.  I've been trying to keep busy by do some cleaning
and taking some stuff to Goodwill and such but It is very
hard when one is a hoarder and struggles with getting rid
of valuable things.  Even when they are no longer used or
needed.  I have managed to part with  two TV's, three DVD/
VCR players a toaster oven, a TV stand, a radio and three
boxes of  miscellaneous small items.  I'm not sure how much
more my heart can take.  The real test will come when I drop
the stuff off.  Hopefully I don't find more things that I can't
live without while I'm there.   I love looking at thrift shops
and such.  Old carbon steel knives and camping gear have a
certain lure about them that simply can't be resisted.

     On a completely different topic I just finished watching
a video about Kate Middleton.  The video was about some
of the wardrobe malfunctions she has endured over the years.
I was appalled.   Do they not know that she is my bit of
heaven on earth?   When i first saw her I wanted to push
William down the nearest well and whisk her away.  But alas
I was born at the wrong place in the wrong time frame and
in the absolute wrong social circles for such a event to occur.
Still her common girl attitude and cotton summer dresses make
my heart flutter.  I'm afraid to  do too much research for fear
of finding out she may have a character flaw that would  in
someway tarnish my view of her.  So I prefer to just let well
enough alone and enjoy my perception of a perfect lady.  Then
again there is the pesky problem of that Will guy !

       Big storm approaching !  And here I sit with only a half
loaf of bread and a partial gallon of milk.  What am I thinking?
I did check and the TP situation is well covered but the snack
cabinet is bare except for some dried fruit mix and Girl Scout
cookies.  FYI the 'Thin Mints' do not work.. I ate two boxes and
have not lost an ounce.  Just so you know.

     Just finished my bi-weekly baking of the dog treats.  That
helped pass some time.  Tried a super simple recipe this time
and the dogs love 'em.  Super easy.  Not sure about the nutritional
value of these ones but they have to be healthier than the  ingredient
laden store bought ones..
