Something New

Studly was out of town yesterday, so I had the afternoon off from my new cooking gig. Truthfully I’m a little lost. Since switching to a very part time job, and ditching Candy Crush, et. al., I’m not sure what to do with my bad self.

I spent a little time looking at recipes and checking my ingredients list, then I considered taking a nap, but with Studly gone I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to sleep. As it turns out I didn’t sleep anyway, but that’s another story. Obviously, there was but one thing left to do: Shop!

It wasn’t going to be gratuitous shopping. Nosirree. I needed underwear. Panties, knickers, bloomers. You know, all those unmentionables that I just mentioned. I’d like to say that I’m a high end shopper when it comes to such items, but instead of Victoria’s Secret, I’m more of a Wal-Mart’s Whisper or Target Tart kind of girl. Basically, I needed something that would cover my butt without riding up between my cheeks.

Years ago I switched from bikinis and hipsters to the full-coverage almost-granny panties. Ok, they probably are granny panties but I’m in denial. It should have been easy to find these lackluster undies in a super Wal-Mart, where the selection was displayed by size and style in somewhat neat rows. Well, it was just hell.

I’d find the style I liked (oddly enough there isn’t a style labelled “granny panty”–they’re called briefs, like boring law documents), but not the size. Or I’d find the size, but not the style. After a good thirty minutes of looking I finally settled on some serviceable briefs.

Notice they say “NEW!” I tried to avoid the aisle with the used undies.

In keeping with my Love Month theme, Studly loved my NEW purchase.

Peace, People!

Love Month

Once the Big Game is over today I plan to begin celebrating the Love Month in my life and in my blog. Now that doesn’t mean my writing will get all mushy and icky; although, it could have elements of both mush and ick. Instead, I plan on taking a look at love in its many forms.

If any of my readers would like to contribute I’d enjoy reading and sharing your thoughts on love, loving, and being loved giving you full credit, of course. I hope you’ll share! Be sure to give a link to your blog if you have one so folks can pay you a visit.

Now, how about a LOVE fest to kick this off?

Longing
Obsessively,
Voraciously
Evolving

Or two:

Lost
Over
Vast
Emptiness

Why not one more?

Listless
Ominous
Vestigial
Esthetic

Oh, who am I kidding?

Cooking for Studly: Another Cookbook

My hilarious daughter thought I needed this cookbook for my new adventures in cooking. Apparently she inherited her mom’s sick sense of humor.

I couldn’t be prouder!

Big Game Monday

The day after Super Bowl Sunday should from now on be known as Big Game Monday. The post office should be closed. Schools should be on holiday. People should have the opportunity to recover. I’ve said this for years, and I don’t know why someone hasn’t taken action.

Who must I contact to make this happen? Troy Aikman? Terry Bradshaw? We all know Congress won’t do a damned thing. Figuring I’d go right to the top I wrote this letter to the First Fan:

Dear President Obama,

Hey! How are you? How are Michelle and the girls? I’m a huge supporter. Huge.

Listen, I know you’re busy, so I won’t waste your time. We need to declare the day following the Super Bowl a national holiday. I know you watch the game, and I think you might be the person to make this happen. A little Executive Order ought to do the trick.

You know productivity on Super Bowl Monday is practically non-existent. Americans are hungover and sleep-deprived. Half the country is depressed because their team lost. The other half is giddy. No one is getting anything accomplished.

What do you say? It’s worth a try. Of course, I don’t really give a flip who wins this year, but the Cowboys might be in the big game next year, so let’s make this happen.

Oh, and Boehner is a party pooper. 😉 Keep giving him hell, and bypass him on this one.

Sincerely,
Nana Noyz

How do I make sure he gets my letter?

Not entrusting it to this man, for sure!

C’mon in! Stay awhile! If our President comes through we don’t have to go to work tomorrow!

Peace, People! And thanks to Pinterest for the memes.
