How to Clean Out Your Deep Freezer

1. Spend the previous 3 months stalking the meat sales and filling up freezer with a minimum of half a cow, 25 chickens and two pig tenderloins.

2. Go on vacation for 6 days. The 6 hottest days of the year.

3. Come home and notice the drool from freezer in hot garage.

4. Throw out hundreds of dollars of food. Mutter nice curse words.

5. Get to tenderloin. Not so nice curse words.

6. "Hello, Sister Taylor!" Stop muttering curse words until nice neighbor girl leaves garage.

7. Try singing Mary Poppins "Spoon Full of Sugar."

8. Get shoe stuck in sticky Otter Pop juice. Start cursing again.

9. Serve spaghetti and Prego sauce for dinner without meat.

    I feel for your loss - same thing happened to us a few years back - but because of a power loss....

    Vegetarian diets are good - for a day or two!

    Ohhhhhh, ohhhhhh, ahhhhh...Yikes...There would have been a string of nasty words flying out of my mouth too, how absolutely frustrating! {and disgusting to clean I am sure!} Sounds like something that would happen to me...

    Spoiled tenderloin never hurt anyone.

    Love, love, love that picture.

    So sorry about your freezer. Sucks.

    BTW, the book arrived today (the H.W's one!). I'm still waiting for the other package to get out here.

    A new follower and thanks for the sweet comments on Ch-Ch-Changes. No not good genes nor a young bride just near sighted so I tend not to notice what's in the mirror.
    The same thing happened to me with the freezer and though I stomped around muttering and moaning about all the labor and time that had gone into my garden vegetables(oh and there's that nice venison tenderloin that my brother gave me),it was nice for the next month or so. I could actually go to the deep freeze and find something without having to dig. We'll see how long it takes to fill it again. The house is moderately empty with the youngest back in college so maybe I can keep it manageable, at least till the holidays.

Pioneer Trek

Utah was founded by the Mormon pioneers in 1847 after enduring unimaginable losses and seeking a place of peace. July 24th marks the anniversary that the first wagon trains arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. Their numbers were greatly diminished by crossing the country in wagons and handcarts, dying of scurvy, tuberculous, malaria, starvation, unidentified fevers, and freezing to death. This, they found preferable to facing the extermination order put forth by Governor Boggs of Missouri. I believe this is the most courageous act of faith - to leave all they had that was familiar and travel the rough terrain in the unknown in search of a place where they could worship in peace. My daughters left this morning for a small re-creation of what the pioneers experienced. I don't love the idea since I know so many of the pioneers died but it is a way for many of the youth to connect to their ancestors and understand what many of the early members endured for their faith. The youth were asked...

How To Be A Dedicated Neurotic

Going through old files from graduate school, I found an invaluable pamphlet. Be a Dedicated Neurotic Remember the Past. . . and Regret it. Abhor the Present. Dread the Future. 1. Become preoccupied with the body, and make a long list of symptoms. Make them sound very clinical and professional... 2. BLAME your boss, your spouse, your partner, your neighbor, your kid. THEY are responsible for your miseries. 3. Feel trapped. You couldn't possibly declare your own independence without hurting someone's feelings. 4. Overeat. Rationalize and eat! Eat an insulated wall around yourself. Diet for a few days and say it doesn't work for you. 5. Self-pity. No matter what, feel sorry for yourself. Agonize over things about which no one cares. 6. Don't ever try. That way nobody can really accuse you of failure. You can always say, "But I could have done it." 7. Stress how shy you are. Insist that the world must come to you. You're special. 8. Your agg...

Flu

The flu has been making its way through our family.  The first to be hit was the 15 year old.  She was very, very angry.  At me.  She had been begging for the flu shot for the past three months.  I kept forgetting.  She got better but it's one more thing to discuss on her future therapist's couch. Today I picked up my 5 year old from school.  He told me about making valentine's for his friends and how he gave his valentine to his best friend, Chase.  Chase is the little boy who grabbed my scarf on my way to my car today, looked at me earnestly and yelled his telephone number to me so fast I couldn't process it then ran away. "Today I felt so sick." "Why didn't you call me to pick you up?" "I told Teacher but she didn't call you." "What did you say?" "I told her my head hurt and I felt dizzy." "What did she say?" "She told me I wasn't sick." I took mental note to talk to his teacher about c...
