Nothing Witty

I totally got the caramel down.  I bought some to fall back on but decided to give it one more try- used a different pan(bigger) and I won.  So there.

• A clean house
• Hot water
• Pre Made Caramel Sauce
• Vacuum Cleaners
• Music

causing me to want to be drunk at 7 in the evening.

2 ingredients.  TWO FUCKING INGREDIENTS!

Sugar and water.  I’ve made caramel before- but with butter and cream and nary a problem.  But making a simple caramel syrup caused me to beg Brian to go and buy me vodka. Which he did, because he indulges me shamelessly. ( Also he was sick of the burnt sugar smell from the first attempt when it splattered on the burner and set off the fire alarms.  Ya.  I’ve had LOTS of fun with nothing to show for it.)

So now I’m going to wander around the Internet looking for more specific instructions for the same recipe because it’s failed on me THREE FUCKING TIMES.

I’ve failed a recipe once before- but never twice and CERTAINLY never THREE TIMES.

Oh, and that third batch? That I thought might be okay?  Is a beautiful dish full of caramel colored crystals.

The vodka? Please bring it on.

So apparantly putting up the christmas tree means the entire house must be rearranged. I know, Brian doesn’t get it either, hell even I don’t understand it and I’m the one tearing the house apart and moving furnitrue around.

The entire point of this post is- Do you like Mary Higgens Clark?  We were given a bunch a while ago, like 30 and I am just not that into them.  Just ain’t my bag baby. And Brian likes books about the military. And Politics.  So we are giving them away. Do you want them?  I will mail them to you if you do!

• Pumpkin Spice Tea
• New Christmas Tree
• A nativity set painted by Brian’s late grandma
• Burts’s Bees lip gloss
• Fresh flowers

Me: “We need a pet. A furry pet. That can snuggle!”

Brian: “We have pets. We have two pets!”

Me: “Loo and Pedro are fish. You try to snuggle them and they’d DIE!”

Brian: “You can put your hand in there and snuggle them!”

Me: “……”

Her: Happy “We Totally Screwed the Native Americans” Day!

Us: Happy “we get turkey they get smallpox” day!
