Stuck in my head!

No swearword today because this song is stuck in my head!!  Help!

This show, How I Met Your Mother, is a little naughty and irreverent.  Just like me!  And for some reason, this song is stuck in my head.

Dinner Group

Dag Nabit (MSW) - another term for gosh darn it.  

On Thursdays, it is my turn to take part in dinner group.  This group consists of 4 women in the neighborhood, including me.  We each take a day to cook dinner.  When we make dinner, we cook for 4 families and take the food over to their house.  Basically, on Monday, my neighbor (and sister-in-law) brings my family dinner.  On Tuesday, another neighbor brings us dinner.  Wednesday the same.  Thursday, I cook for everyone and bring them dinner.

I can't tell a lie.  At first I thought this was the dumbest idea ever.  Why not just cook and freeze meals  like I've done in the past.  But this is awesome!  Monday through Thursday we have a meal for our family, hot and ready.  It's awesome!  The only thing that isn't provided is the vegetable.  We take care of that for our own families.  And the food is always good too!  It ranges from chicken and rice to roast and potatoes.  Every week it's something yummy.  Cooking once a week ain't so bad!  On the weekends we do leftovers.  If there is enough leftovers, I don't even cook dinner on Sunday!

Of course, like I've said in the past, everything happens on the same day.  Not only am I making dinner for the 4 families today, but I'm also making dinner for the varsity cross country team.  My son made the varsity cross country team so now I have 8 teenage boys coming over who need to carb load.  Oh joy!  So instead of making 4 dinners, I'm making 8 dinners!  I did chicken pasta salad for the neighbors.  A nice light meal for an Indian Summer evening.  For the boys I'm making ravioli and meatballs with garlic bread and a salad.  That should be a "carb-o-licious" dinner for them.  My son could eat 1/2 a pan, so I hope I make enough!

Dag Nabit, life sure gets busy some days!

Women

Crap (MSW) - this is an easy one.  I guess you could use the sh** word instead.  Whatever.

On Saturday evening, there was a meeting for all the adult women of the church.  The group is called the Relief Society.  It's a group of women and come together to gossip.  No, not really.  It's a world-wide group of women that come together to gain strength from each other, learn about church things and provide service.

One thing you have to know about mormon women.  When we get together, there is always food provided.  So, our church group got together at the church and watched a broadcast made possible by satellite feed.  Afterwords, there were desserts.  Yep, the real reason we were there.  FOOD!  I couldn't believe how much food there was!  Fruit, cupcakes, cookies, breads, cake, you name it.  If sugar is the main ingredient, it was there.  The best part was the pitcher that was next to all the treats.  It was a pitcher filled with chocolate that you could drizzle over your food.

Do you think it would be bad if I just drank straight from the pitcher?  Just drizzle myself in chocolate?  Do you think the other people, about 100 or so, would notice?  Just start guzzling it down, paying no attention to every one else.  It sure was tempting.  Yum! 

Another funny thing, I saw this outfit in a catalog this weekend.

What do you think?  I loved it!  I mean, that would be just the outfit to wear to church or work.  I mean nothing screams righteous, pious woman of our Heavenly Father like thigh-high hooker boots and a skirt so short you can see your back side.  Really, it's a great work outfit.  I'm sure when others look at it, it says, responsible, reliable and trust-worthy.  Your boss will think you are the best worker ever!  Holy crap! 

Chores

Gee Whiz (MSW) - a lovely little swearword dating back to the 1950's.  The meaning of which I am not sure, but I know some other word, one a little less "nice," could be used.

It's a beautiful Saturday morning here in Utah.  And we, like every other American Family, are doing chores.  Ah, the life of a child and their chores.  Every one in our house has an assigned chore for Saturday.  And 98% of the time, they actually get done.  The other 2% of the time is when we have other things going on, like yard sales, cross country events, soccer/football games.

The funny thing is, when I tell the kids to get their chores done, they look at me like I'm from another planet.  What, what does that mean?  What are you talking about?  I've never heard that word or phrase ever before in my life!  Really?!  Every Saturday morning it's the same.  They look at me like I'm crazy and I bug them to get them done.  If the day is going well, the work is done before noon.  If the day is going poorly, they never get done or not until bedtime.  I keep trying to tell the kids that if we work hard for a few hours, we can play hard afterwards.  They apparently don't understand English very well.

I've tried bribes when the kids were little.  Here's the trouble with that.  When the kids were 2-3, the bribe would be a gumball, or a nickel.  It just doesn't work with a 15 or 16 year old.  They say stuff, like "How about those true religion jeans that cost $300?" or "How about a new car?"  Yep, bribing the kids is a thing of the past.

Now it is threat of torture.  "If you don't get that room clean by noon today, I will get on your Facebook account and tell everyone how much you love your mother.  How beautiful and hot she is.  If you don't clean up all the water bottles and plates in the basement, your driver's license is gone for 5 days."  Torture usually does work.  Remember that for future reference!


Now, the smaller kids, torture and bribes just don't cut it anymore.  Gee whiz kids, just get your chores done so you can play!
