Breakdowns, Cooking, Acting and Love

I come to a lot of important decisions through a moment of crisis…a breakdown…with lots of tears and usually a lack of sleep! There’s a moment of crisis or a breakdown because I’ve ignored that little inner voice in my head and continued to just plug down the wrong path, just FYI. This method hasn’t failed me yet!



I had ANOTHER brilliant idea! (But, no, this idea did not come to me through a moment of crisis…a breakdown…with lots of tears and lack of sleep; well, yes, on the lack of sleep part. That sentence up there was just a random moment of enlightenment. So I had to share. Before I forgot.)

Anyway, there are massive amounts of cooking websites. They're sites that I love to visit and I'll see something that looks so incredibly delicious, that I just have to have the recipe, which almost always invariably consists of instructions...and ingredients...way beyond my skill level. I know they’re beyond my skill level because I don’t know what the words mean, thank you for asking.

So, the other night while I was sitting at home eating a very yummy, healthy and simple (very simple) meal, the thought dawned on me that I should, on my blog, share my healthy, simple, yummy and satisfying dinners! I figure, I'm not the only gal out there who is culinary challenged and if I can help just one soul...

So! The other night when I successfully pan fried chicken and made uber delicious fajitas, I took pictures! And, I’m going to show you! Soon. Very soon.

I think I deserve a big kudos. Not only did I pan fry chicken, I stir fried veggies AND took pics…all with out setting off one fire alarm or causing any big flames! Go, Missy!!!!!



Oh my gosh…Man, I must be a good actor! I don’t even know how I do it. Let me explain. About once a year someone will make a comment to me, and it happened just now, where they state that they perceive me as being a sweet person who does not lose her temper. They say that they can’t imagine me yelling at Dave or envision me in a fight and they go on to further say that they see me acting more like a stereotypical school teacher in fights.

OH, this cracks me UP! If Dave heard people say that he would surely choke on his spit and probably die of shock. In fact, this is probably the furthest description of the truth for Dave. I find this perception so funny! I wish I had enough self control to never lose my temper and act like a crazy woman…I bet my Mom, Grandma, Michelle, Paula, Jennifer, Dave, Uncle Tom, Thomas and Papa all feel the same way, too! Ahhh, but, I’m glad I have a few people fooled. It’s all part of my plan…whaaaa-haaaa-haaa!

Hmmm…I think there’s about 8 people out there right now wishing they were the ones being fooled, too!



Well, apparently I love Wal-Mart greeters and apparently, I tell them so!

The other evening I had to pick up a birthday card from Wal-Mart. After I purchased it and was leaving the store, my mind wondered to the note that I was going to write in the card. Just as I was approaching the store exit (where the Wal-Mart greeters are) I was, in my head, wrapping up the note I was going to write. At this time, the Wal-Mart greeter said good bye to me and wished me a good day. I, on the other hand, had love on the brain, because in my head I was writing ‘Love, Missy,” so, I replied to the Wal-Mart greeter without even thinking, “Love you, too!”

*SIGH*

OH. MY. GOSH.

The minute ‘love’ exited my mouth I was mortified. And, the rest of the “you, too,” kind of came out like “ewwwwewwww,” because I was trying to stop myself from telling a complete stranger that I loved him, too!

Only me. This stuff only happens to me.

Sheesh
