Pap's Baking

I had to go to the store for ingredients for Red Velvet Cupcakes, couldn't go with a mix had to go with Ina Garten's recipe.  Apron on, new measuring spoons and off we go. More later!!! 

Should only have to do things once

Having to send emails 3 or 4 times is just wrong. One would assume that the  person asking you to do them a favor would give you the correct address first time.  Then he got pissy because he had to call these wineries again.  Then I asked what time we had to be there and he says where, we are presently consumed by this Wine Festival where else would we be going ???  Since this is all we talked about today and we discussed the meeting tonight, What the hell else would I be asking about.  We are leaving in two weeks for 6 weeks with only 2 wineys committed this doesn't look good.  I wonder when he will learn to keep his ideas to himself.  No food vendors set up, no music, no singer .  Let the fun begin.     

Someone needs to explain to me why when a husband volunteers to do something the wife gets to do all the stuff he says he can't. (ie type emails to the wineries) I have to type each one to a different one.   Then on top of that I now think I have gout in my foot, it is feeling much better after I started taking massive doses of Advil. Due for another dose here  pretty soon, if it comes back I guess I'll go to the doctor.   Washer calling, I'm ready to go to Florida, leaving in 2 and 1/2 weeks. 

Up early, to go to the gym, and here I sit.  Snow flakes and every thing gets canceled, except for Session.  Would rather that a beating then sit though this meeting.  The reading of the resignation letter of Princess Badora.  At least her bad smell will be gone, it never ceases to amaze me that grown people don't bath, and brush their teeth.  How does a person tell another person to take a bath, and wash her clothes.  Not sure I could do it. Off to shower, maybe if I start now I can get there on time.

Christmas Over

All Christmas  put away, wonder why we house all this stuff for 11 months and only use it for 3 to 4 weeks.  Then there is all the  prep, cookies(still eating) food, mostly gone, the presents some people didn't want. I'm always glad when I get the requests for presents.  I wonder if Martina will ever use her sewing machine, and does she play with her dog?  Maybe I need to go there more often.  Noticed the  posting of her feeding the new baby, wonder what Sandy thinks about that.  Must call Angela, and find out what to get Captain Cranky Pants for his birthday.  Only have 2 weeks, maybe we will just take him out to dinner. Not sure what he wants.


Had a really unpleasant job yesterday, getting an officer in the Nile to sign a letter of resignation, which I'm not sure she would have done without the insisting of the past queens.  I guess the last 2 sessions she came to meeting smelling so badly no one wanted to be around her. Since I have no sense of smell, I have to go by what these 10 women are telling me. I have to guess that may be the reason I got to go get the signature.  Not sure what the future holds for our Temple, time will tell.  What's for dinner???   Pizza, only not the best meal for the diabetic.  I need a nap. Till next time.
