Damn, I have vertigo again.

Did you ever roll over in bed and have the room spin VIOLENTLY for about 30 seconds? No? You are very, very lucky. It happened to me again last night, third time in two years. I hate this shit!!!! Anybody know what causes it? I'm not dieing am I?

It dawned on me why I liked the picture in my last post so much

Eighth grade English and lucky enough to be in the hot teacher's class. She sat on her desk facing the class, looked down and noticed she had a run in her stocking just like the one in the picture. I remember her picking at the run and telling us she was upset because the stocking ran down, and she still had the whole day to get through with a run in them. She said she would try to stop it from running anymore by putting nail polish on the run.

(Now this is where it gets good, for an eighth grader anyway.)

She leans back over her desk to get her pocket book out of the drawer. Now I could see her thigh almost to her panties as she leaned back. Oh how I wanted to catch a glimpse of panties. The only ones I seen up to that point were my little sister's or my mom's hanging on a clothes line and there is nothing erotic about that. She took the nail polish out of her pocket book and dabbed a little on the run.

Which reminds me of another story about that school.

It may or may not have been the same class, but I remember unthinkingly scratching my balls one day and one of the very few girls in school with real boobs, not tissue stuffed bra boobs, but real ones, asked me if she could scratch them for me. I was so embarrassed and of course I said no.

What a dick I was.

She was also the same girl who intercepted a note to some guy and tucked it in her bra. She made him go in and get it. She stood there in front of us all and let the guy feel her up, INSIDE HER BRA! Can you believe it?

Damn, I'm glad I have a good long term memory.

Then there was the time in ninth grade, or was it tenth, when I actually got to touch a girls boobs for the first time.

Never mind, your probably not interested in hearing this stuff.

I'm almost ashamed to admit it, ...

...naw, I'm not ashamed to admit it, or I wouldn't post this.

I was checking out one of my favorite blogs just now, Lusty Lady, and saw a link to Flickrbooty. I must say, it is worth a visit for all you lovers of.........of.........., how do I put this delicately ......., female nakedness.

Here's my favorite picture from the site.
















I wonder why, with all the naked pictures of women, this was my favorite photo?

I got the ricotta...

...but the chicken was going to spoil, so I fried up the cutlets in italian bread crumbs instead. I got the idea from Amber, sort of. She recommended Recipes.com. So this afternoon I went there and that made me feel like cooking, so I did. Thanks Amber.

Guess what I forgot to buy?

Ricotta. I was going to make a ricotta and peas omelet for dinner tonight, but without ricotta, it doesn't work. So I made beef stroganoff Hamburger Helper instead. The hospice volunteer called and is coming Sunday for a couple hours so I'll add ricotta to my shopping list and get it when I do my weekly food shopping.

Now, where did I put the pad for a shopping list? Aw, never mind, I'll remember.

You'll never guess

I actually cooked tonight. I know, I know, it's been awhile, but I actually cooked. It was pretty simple really and nothing special, but it counts as cooking as far as I'm concerned.

I sauted a few pork chops and large onion in a little peanut oil for 10 minutes, then deglazed the pan with a little white wine. While that was cooking, I diced some celery and added it to 2 cups of Stove Top Stuffing mix, 2 table spoons of butter and a cup of water. I nuked that for, I forget how long but it was for however long the package said to nuke it. I took the pork chops out of the pan and put them on a dish. Then I poured about 3/4 cup of Jack Daniels BBQ sauce over the onions and finished cooking them, which was for about 5 more minutes, I think. I had to do that because I forgot to put the onions in with the pork chops. Once the onions were done, I put them back in the pan and scooped the onion and BBQ sauce mixture over the the top. Next I spooned the stuffing around the pork chops. I covered the pan and turned down the heat to low and finished cooking them for however long it took me to finish my gin and tonic and nuke a package of frozen peas.

Barbara hadn't eaten since breakfast so I shared the pork chops with her, we had two of them. When Brian came home, which wasn't too long ago actually, about 12:45, he ate the leftover pork chop and stuffing. He doesn't eat peas so they are still in the refrigerator. I think I'll make a rigotta omelet with them tomorrow night if I remember to stop and buy the rigotta.

For the last few months I can count on one hand, how many times I've actually cooked. But what's the point? Brian works six days a week, usually from 2:00 till 10:30, so he's almost never home when I eat. You never know when Barbara's going to eat. Her caregivers have been feeding her when she's hungry, and you never know when that will be. Most of the time she eats lunch late in the day before I get home from work. Lately it's been 3:00 or 4:00.

So who feels like cooking for one? Not me, that's for sure. That's why I don't cook.

So what do I eat you ask? It's either anything I can get delivered, frozen somethings or one-step packaged meals like tuna helper, but mostly frozen. But that is all in the past because tonight I actually cooked.

Any suggetions for a pork loin? I thawed it out and need to cook it before it goes bad. I was thinking something with a large can of cling peaches. What do you think?

HALLELUJAH!!!

Guess who finally showed up today? Barbara's sister Kathy. I told you about her before. She's Barbara's next youngest sister, she has three. The last time she showed her face over here for a visit was Easter. Fucking Easter!

But maybe I'm being too hard on her. She does live a whole 1/4 mile away and maybe that's too far for her to travel and she has stopped by a few times since Easter, but Barbara was always asleep so just turned around and left.

Today Kathy came while I was at work, and I hope it's the same way if, and when she shows up the next time. I'm not very happy about her not visiting, and it would show. I'm figuring at the rate Kathy visits, her next one will be for Barbara's birthday in September.
