Cheesecake.....

I dont like New York style cheesecake, never have. But my husband brought home a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake this afternoon and I scarfed a whole slice and didnt even think about it. It was fabulous! Have I been missing this for years or is it a new thing? Our local mall is getting a Cheesecake Factory in January and now I'm looking forward to that being something on the menu. It went down really well with my Diet Lime Pepsi. Trunk-or-Treat is over and done. I made two giants pots of broccoli cheese soup. In one I added bacon and the other one I added shredded chicken. Everyone devoured them so that was nice. LAst year I made a crockpot of bean soup for Teacher Appreciation week luncheon and no one ate any. That was a slap in the face as I am a VERY good cook. Some people just cant appreciate legumes and lentils I guess. This year I'll crockpot a roast and not worry about my donation being ignored. I have a roast thawing for Sunday dinner. I put one in the crockpot at 6am and sprinkle two packages of dry onion soup mix and 3 cups water over it and let it cook on low for 12 hours. They shred nicely!

Getting sick.........

Okay, I dont think Thursday nights activities helped my sinus problems any. I'm living on Day-Quil and it sucks. And of course I'm needed at work today. I didnt finish the books on Thursday and I should do that. And I need to hit the dollar store close to work to get 6 hula-hoops for a Daddy-Daughter activity at church. Plus this afternoon is Trunk-or-Treat and I volunteered a crockpot full of soup and still have to go get my son from the grandparents house before it all starts. Thank goodness I can set the clocks back an hour tonight. Its pathetic how much I'm looking forward to that.

Outside? In THIS weather??

Okay, so my 11 yr old is getting his Arrow of Light award in Scouts tomorrow night. Finally have all the tasks done. I've been telling the grandparents for two weeks now what building it will be in. And THIS AFTERNOON I get a message on my answering machine telling me that the pack meeting will be at the leaders house, in the backyard, not in the churchbuilding. Its been 39 degrees and VERY windy here for three days straight. Its a bring your own chair, wear a coat, lets sit around a campfire thing. Hello? Its almost November for petes sake and FREEZING! And now the grandparents cant come because of health issues. The one grandma had throat surgery Monday morning and cant sit by a smokey campfire, much less out in the cold. And the other just got out of the hospital with a leg puncture that required 30 some stitches because her skin is very paper thin. And that one also has diverticulitis(sp?) and has had both knees redone and has back problems. And I REFUSE to ask her to sit outside in 30 degree wether sucking down smoke fumes. And the leader could only say sorry. I dont want to hear sorry, I want you to move it back indoors so family can be in attendance! She's only having it in her backyard for her own convenience.
