There’s a show on the SyFy channel called “Total Blackout”
hosted by Steve Erkel. It may be my new
favorite show. It’s like “Fear Factor”
but in complete darkness. I’ve never
seen it before yesterday, but now I’m hooked.
Psalms may
be my favorite book. It’s even better
than Killer Angels.
The best
version of this song was on Legends & Lyrics. But if you don’t catch it on PBS, you won’t
find this version. Mindy Smith’s
“Raggedy Anne” is a soft, simple ballad about a girl who is broken down. But I really could identify with it.
Remembering
back a few Memorial Days ago. At a
friend’s house celebrating when Roy & I found out they had recently gotten
a hot tub. It was ssooo exciting. We had to hook it up immediately so
we could enjoy it immediately. It was
just big enough for the two of us to fit into it comfortably. But that quickly became a little
uncomfortable once we realized how funny everyone found it for two grown men to
be enjoying a hot tub so much. Needless
to say the “new” wore off pretty quickly.
I finally
got it verified that I am, in fact, a high school graduate. I got to class this morning & was told
that I didn’t have to stay. That really
put a smile on my face. Now if only I
can get some job assignment that is halfway decent and maybe take some college
courses. One step at a time.
Baked Beans
Recipe
The
following is the best baked bean recipe you will see. It’s not the cheapest, but for special
occasions it will suffice. The brisket
is found at Kroger, Wal-mart, or Sam’s and is precooked and packaged.
1 can Bush’s
Bold & Spicy Beans
1 can Bush’s Home-style Beans
1 can Bush’s
Maple Beans
1 can Bush’s
Honey Beans
1 can Bush’s
Onion Beans
1 small
package of brisket cubed
1 small
diced onion
1 cup dark
brown sugar
½ cup
mustard
1 cup BBQ
sauce
½ small jalapeno
(remove seeds ) diced
Combine all
ingredients in a large crock pot & cook on low setting for about two hours.
Stir occasionally. The longer they cook
the better they are.

Rascal Flats just sang “Changed” on Ellen. New song I assume. I’ve never heard it. Best they have ever sounded live in my
opinion. Plus, a really, really good
song. And yes, I watch Ellen, stop
judging me!
The downside to morning shows………. prison food lunches.
Shows I have never watched a single episode of: The Simpsons, Lost, Mike & Molly, House,
30 Rock. I’m sure there are more, but
these seemed to be big ones. P.S. I’m okay with never watching these shows.
Shows I never watched until they became syndicated & I
don’t know how I ever made it without them: Everybody Loves Raymond, New
Adventures of Old Christine, Big Bang Theory.

As if I needed to sit here and cry! I couldn’t decide between
the MLB game on Fox, the Stanley Cup on NBC, either of the College World Series
on ESPN & ESPN2, or the NBA or TNT.
So I decided to watch Secret Millionaire on ABC. Yes, I cried.
It was really dumb. I also don’t
think the ASPCA commercial was a fair addition to the program schedule. Stupid!
A belated Thank You to whoever it was that got me the Chester
County Independent subscription. It’s
been a while since I have been able to read one. It’s comforting to be able to keep up. And also comforting to know you care. I’m already looking forward to this week’s edition.
Hope everyone made it through the storms without any
damage. It appeared to get pretty rough
here, but this place is pretty stout.
I clap every single time when Friends come on, during the
theme song. I always have, always
will.
