CHRISTMAS LEFT-OVERS Hosting parties two weeks in a row means my usual flurry and consternation on the state of the house was not at its normal acute level. Just discovered today that a bouncy balloon that Joe likes to bat around the house has been lying on the floor in the living room all this time. It's not in a super noticeable place, but you can see it as soon as you walk in from the front door. Boy have I mellowed! Now if I was a Southern housefrau my "lady" friends would have noted that household faux pas in an instant. After initial vapors they would compliment me on my more "bohemian" approach to proper housekeeping. My sisters don't give a flying ---- thank goodness. They're just happy to sip their mimosas and catch up.
I need to rename the white elephant game as the gifts are becoming increasingly nicer. Instead of "gifting" useless items that need to move out of the giver's house, new food, books and alcohol seem to be the items of choice; along with at least one hardware-type item.(No fair directing your son to the mini-toolset when it was your turn to choose which just happened to be the right size for a ten year old.) As I say, pleasant choices with the exception of one brother-in-law who thought some items from a sex shop would be most appropriate. Unfortunately my oldest sister was the giftee and I have a feeling her appreciation was a tad forced. Two donors were struck by the same inspiration angel. Chooser #1 picked the SnoopDog/Martha Stewart wine set which Chooser #2 immediately snagged. Meanwhile Chooser #1 goes back to the pile and YES, chooses the second SnoopDog/Martha Stewart ensemble, Hilarious.
WHO'S MINDING THE STORE? Can't let the weekly circus acts pass. George Santos who, if his lies keep escalating, will no doubt claim to be creator of the earth and seas. Make sure he votes for the speaker, then maybe a couple of voices say "ahh, maybe we should censor him and get him to resign" One more example of the corruption of a once proud party. One newspaper published his BS before the election and his campaign office suggested maybe he should withdraw. People - pay attention! When someone shows you who they are,, believe them.
And of course, all the hue and cry over classified materials that Biden "discovered". Now it's an issue? "Oh the humanity! Oh the hypocrisy!" When the past prez took 15 boxes, lied about it, then declassified them with his mind not a word. But OMG the democrats! Biden's lapse is serious-seems like there should be a "system" for checking out materials and keeping track of them-libraries have been doing it for years. The irony is be careful how far you go or you hang your guy with the same rope. Though they are not in the same catergory of serioiusness, based on the facts that trumpie can't keep his mouth shut about and the sheer volume of documents "stolen", it does put a damper on punishment
PROGRAM NOTE: And would the media quit harping on everything ad nauseum. Unless you have something new to report stifle yourselves! That goes for both sides. Geez. I blame the 24/7 new cycle.
Based on a comment made at a small gathering I called out a lady when she said people are lazy and want the government to provide. I find it interesting that people parrot the billionaire's lament and hatred of "woke" people claiming workers are just too lazy to work and just live off handouts. Check that crap at the door and ask someone on assistance how high on the proverbial hog they're living. May I suggest the billionaires offer better wages and sick leave etc., (I am still at a loss of why Biden did not push the railroad owners to offer these 70 hour a week workers some damn sick leave when he had the chance) and get an education on the cost of living? We have an aging workforce, less younger and first time workers and a long bull market that encouraged many early retirements (should I go on?). Time to finally realize you have been ripping off workers for years while garnering, and hiding, obscene profits. Slave labor is not in the cards boys and girls-the younger generation is better educated than you are apparently. Makes you wonder why those with the money also oppose higher education and tuition relief...btw the lady's husband said "Hell I didn't want to work either when I was young" LOL.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT The OH's church has a small congregation and we are some of the younger ones-lol. So low on money and dependent on volunteers, of which there are few. We pull housecleaning duties every other month but we also help out sometimes on the every other Tuesday free community dinners. Last month a third party started renting the conference room for their weekly meetings, also on Tuesday evenings. The aromas of our hotdogs, sloppy joes, beans, cookies etc. waft across the building to the conference room during the meeting and all the folks must pass directly past the free fixings. Why is this a problem you may ask as we offer food to these visitors as well which they never accept. Unfortunately......it's Weight Watchers! I have never seen such sad faces - rather hilarious actually. I know I'm a bitch...
Also according to the scientifically approved info on Facebook, a statement was made that the song that was Number 1 on your 23rd birthday is how your 2023 will go. Yeah, yeah the unscrupulous trying to mine information. Anyway for me it was "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" God I hope not. Peace out 💛💙
