January 21st, 2010Random to the Tune of Blah
As you may have noticed, I’ve had no desire to post anything. Not a, “Hey, I’m still here.” Not even holiday wishes. Nothin’. I should feel guilty; I don’t. But I would like to post more regularly. I enjoy blogging. So, instead of trying to think of some über cool topic to write about, I’m going to motivate myself by unapologeticly posting random stuff. Maybe I’ll get inspired.

Dan bought a big ol’ box of Ritz crackers at Costco, now I have to make stuff to put on them. First up, my mama’s cheese spread. Yes, she’ll probably haunt me for sharing the recipe, but it’s not like you couldn’t find it on AllRecipes.
Two blocks cream cheese, softened
One cup cottage cheese
One TBS fresh lemon juice and maybe a dash more (Please don’t use the bottled stuff, my mom did, and, well, my way is better.)
One heaping tsp onion salt
One heaping tsp garlic powder
A handful of chopped Parsley (No dried stuff! Don’t do it!)
Blend it all together.

Someone started the Flathead Valley Roller Derby and I really wanted to join. I even went to the roller rink to try out. I actually managed to get one skate on before I chickened out. When does shyness turn into agoraphobia? Yuppers. Full on panic attack. No roller derby for me.

Why do people expect President Obama to fix eight years worth of Bush’s fuck ups in only one year?

I’ve been trying to learn how to crochet, and in the future would like to learn to knit. I usually learn things pretty quickly. Not so with crochet. I’ve been going through the Crochet for Dummies book and I’ve got the stitches down, but it’s the patterns that baffle me. Even with the dummies book I can’t make heads or tails of the language crochet patterns are in (Unless it’s a very basic pattern). I’m either getting dumber or slower.
♣
That’s all I got. I’m not going to pressure myself to come up with more. Like I said, random.

That recipe sounds good.
As for Obama fixing Bush’s fuck ups, it’s more Obama is doing the same thing Bush was doing. When you see someone else fucking up, you don’t do the same thing. Plus the one thing I wanted Obama to do that he promised he’d do was to end the tax benefits for outsourcing American jobs overseas. Has Obama done that? Nope.
Don’t worry about the roller derby. That’s not being scared. It’s probably being smart. People lose a lot of hit points playing that game. The older I get, the more I want to keep the hit points I got left.

Glad you’re still around. I’ve been slackin’ off with my posts as weel. Same reason and I came to the same conclusion about my own blogging. Nothing wrong with random.
I agree with you. It takes longer than 1 year. I’ll admit I’m a little dissapointed with the Health Care reform thing. I would have liked a more progressive plan. I want to see the tough guy that I canvassed and and voted for. But what he’d like to do and what he is able to do with such a divided congress and country are two different things. My husband still has a good job so I’m not complaining yet. I also agree with Zombie up there about the outsourcing issue. He did mention it last night so I’ll hold on to hope a little while longer….
Keep us updated on your crocheting. I’ve always wanted to learn how.

Nice to see you back…and I love reading random stuff!

I hardly ever post anymore either. I don’t want to totally quit, but I just don’t feel like updating regularly. :-)
