Working My Way Back to You Babe!



So I am back gang. Oh I have been super active on my food blog, but I have missed my opportunity to ramble about the random crap that is happening in my life. You know, like my obsession with The Walking Dead, True Blood, So You Think You Can Dance, The Voice, The Blacklist, Hell's Kitchen, Masterchef....holy crap when do I find time to cook??? Thank God Kevin works nights, I can cook by day, and watch my shows all night. Sleep? PPffttttt we don't need no stinkin' sleep!

My life has changed quite a bit since my last post a bazzilion years ago. Kiddos have all moved out, which don't get me wrong is a good thing. I mean my house is now clothing optional, if dishes are in the sink I know who is to blame (Kevin of course), no stomping up and down the stairs at all hours of the night. But one of my sources of fun, and some seriously wacky situations, is gone.

Now my source of entertainment are the family of deer that have invaded my yard, this city girl seriously geeks out over them.

DAY 1
Me - OMG Kevin there are 2 deer in the front yard! Grab some apples so we can give them a treat!!
Kevin - Oh that is so cool, I will buy more tomorrow.

DAY 5
Me - OMG Kevin there are 3 deer in our front yard! Do we have any more apples?
Kevin - Ummm no, I will buy a few pounds tomorrow.

Day 30
Me - Kevin Kevin Kevin, there is a huge buck in the front yard eating the apples!
Kevin - Damn that dude can put down some apples. I guess I better go pick a box up tomorrow.

5 MONTHS LATER
Me - OMG Kevin the Momma had twin fawns!
Kevin - Seriously, WOW they are so cute!

2 MONTHS LATER
Me - Aaawwww the babies are eating with Momma now. Oh and Tina (one of the other deer) brought a friend!
Kevin - *annoyed look* these guys had better start mowing the lawn and doing laundry! I thought we got rid of creatures that lay around all day and eat all of our food!

So, my friends I seem to have replaced my 2 footed kids with a whole freaking herd of 4 footed kids. But atleast these kids don't give me lip or want to drive my car!

I am also trying so hard to overcome my black thumb by growing a garden. I have done OK the past couple of years with tomatoes, but other things have been kind of meh. Last year I had to hand pollinate my squash and zucchini. This year I can't even do that. I have not one...ZERO female blossoms on the plant. All boys. Leave to me to end up with gay zucchini.

Anyway, that is just a tad of what has been happening in my action pack *koff koff* life since last we chatted. How the heck have you been?
