Day 5 - Your Favorite Comfort Foods and Why

Whew - glad yesterday's is done - - now onto something I so absolutely, obviously love - - -  FOOD!!!!!!!

I have my normal comfort foods; hot roast beef with mashed potatoes (the real kind, not from a box, with lumps and all) and gravy - roasted turkey with those same mashed potatoes - macaroni and cheese (both from the box and homemade) - chicken and homemade noodles (something I absolutely adored growing up!!) - cream of tomato soup - and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

But, I have one food that I turn to when looking for the ultimate comfort.  It's an odd choice and some of you are going to scratch your head and wonder about me.  But, it is my favorite thing in the world - and it's easy and quick.

Every Tuesday night, Ted goes to Civil Air Patrol.  This is what I look forward to having for my dinner every Tuesday.  What is it you wonder??  It's cold cereal - and no specific one - but whatever hits my fancy at the time.  I love everything from Cheerios to Rice Krispies to Life Cereal to Apple Jacks to Shredded Wheat to Cap'n Crunch to Froot Loops to Grape Nuts.  You get the jist of what I am saying - I love cold cereal.  I love hot cereal, too, but there is nothing better to sit down and watch Biggest Loser with.  Now, since I have had to change my lifestyle, I am not able to cover those Cheerios and Rice Krispies in a bunch of sugar, now I use Splenda - - but, it's all tasty just the same!!

Happy Birthday Me!!

I turned 49 a year ago tomorrow.  I was all right with that.  I didn't really care.  But, about a couple of months after that, I realized that in less than a year I would be 50.  When my daughter turned 30, it really was a horrible feeling.  How could I have a 30-year-old daughter??  I am not old enough to have a 30-year-old daughter.  I also had to deal with my baby boy getting married last year - which made me feel like I really was getting older. I think it was after Crystal's birthday that I devised a plan.  I was going to take a couple of days off, I was going to get a hotel room - a hotel with a pool - and I was just going to hide out and ride it out.  I had it all figured out. Well, I decided that my kids might be a bit upset with me that I did this.  So, I went back to Plan B - I would do my usual and plan a "kids" birthday for me so that the entire family, including Zach and Chelsea, could have a good time.  I thought of going to Planet Play and setti

The Haunting

It's been a weird few days. I don't know what set me off. But, I've been thinking about Ted a lot. Mostly, I've been thinking about the night he died. And everything that happened that night. One of the girls I worked with lost her husband suddenly a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if that's what set me off - no, I'm pretty sure it is. So I've been going through old blog posts about our trips together. Looking at memories of our times together. We just had fun together and we just loved each other. Anyway, I've been reliving the night he died. Thinking about it pretty consistently. And the things that happened are truly haunting me. Like, how did he get where he was?? He and I had been sitting together and had literally just had an interaction. The interaction was, please sit back, you're blocking my view of the movie. And it was all done in hand gestures. But it was just so Ted. Completely and totally so Ted. Not even a few

First Date - - End of an Era!

It's no secret that Ted and I met on the internet. We jibbered and jabbered via Match.Com a few times and then he sent me his phone number. We won't go into details about what made me give him a call, other than I was in need of a boost. I gave him a call and he was "busy" for a bit working on his carbuerator (yes, I was shunned aside for a carbuerator) and he asked if he could call me back later. Well, he did call me later that night and we made arrangements to meet at Denny's on 3500 South and 2200 West the next afternoon. No, it wasn't a four-star restaurant, but it was a way for either of us to run or make excuses if things were not going well. We sat there for a few hours; I drank Diet Coke and Ted drank Iced Tea. We talked, mostly Ted talked, about stuff I had absolutely no clue about; I tease him a lot about everything he says pretty much floats above my head, because I have no idea what he is talking about. That was October 10, 2004. After a w
