Merry Christmas People

Well, another Christmas without Destin. This year was much better than last year. I still hurt but this holiday was more tolerable. No alcohol has been involved so I guess that is good. I really enjoyed today. We didn't go anywhere, just hung out watching the kids playing, assembling toys, and throwing away paper and boxes. I made a beer chicken tonight. Basically what you do is poor out half a beer, or drink half a beer and sit the chickens butt over the beer. not sure how it works, but it makes the chicken really tender. very delicious. OK, well time to raid the kitchen. I want something salty, pretty much something I don't have in the house, of course.

wasting, wasting time away

Ok. I have to vent. I am so very tired of certain people wasting their lives on stupid stuff. Watching people that don't understand how precious the gift of a family and children. I could scream. OK, maybe if I go take a shower and scream it will be all out. There is my bit.

EVERYONE HAS A STORY

ok. I am not sure how many of you watch the Today show, and I know this post is going to come off as mean spirited. The Today show has been doing a segment called Everyone has a story in which they honor a special person with a specially written song written by Kathy Lee Gifford and sung by usually a Broadway singer or someone. Great stories that are very hearttouching are shared, but then they sing a CHEESY song to that person. It is sang in that cabaret style very cheesy. Why can't they give the person a vacation or money? Please Today show stop letting Kathy Lee write songs .

alligator in Madison county

Okay, so I am watching the news tonight, and apparently somewhere in Madison county this dude has an alligator in his pond. Crazy!

I also just googled and found this link

Apparently in the 90s there were alligator farms around here. Great to know. Even better is that right down the road from my house it is pretty much a swamp.

This is another reason why I am still wondering if I want to continue living in the boondocks.

rich learning cheap

Ok. So I have noticed a lot of the talk shows lately are focusing more on teaching money saving concepts, things that us broke folks already know how to do.
Shopping at thrift stores
Yardsaling
Buying at walmart
Buying inexpensive items that look like their more expensive friends (thought this was extremely funny)
The concept that you can find things to wear in your own closet without having to go shopping (duh)

I just thought it was funny. Could you see one of these high enders snubbing their nose up at the Potters house? Its sad what entertains me.
