Daryl and I usually always order from kids who are selling things for school. And come to think of it, I can’t think of a time that we didn’t order something or get raffle tickets when there was a function going on. So when the school kids were selling pizza’s and other things it was a no brainer. I was glad that the kids were selling pizza’s and other things because in the past weeks I had come home with chicken and rice soup, brownie cookies, and some bread bowls. So pizzas were a good idea – well at least I thought! What happened is that I got a text from the girl who sold me the pizzas and some chicken, and she said she would just drop them off at our house. OK, no big deal. I have to admit I was a little worried about her putting them on the porch, but we have a table on it also so that’s where I thought she’d put them. Well, what I found out was that she literally dropped them off on the cement on our porch. When I first heard that she was going to bring them I thought it might not be a good idea if I wasn’t there – but I was at work so there wasn’t much I could do until I got home. Well when I got home I found this
Now to be fair – how could the kitty not eat it? I was only surprised that there was just one cat on the porch. Usually there’s at least 5 and sometimes even a couple of peacocks are there to greet me. So when I looked down at this kitty she just looked pretty darn cute and well I guess it’s really not the end of the world. I was able to save one of the pizzas and I don’t think she really got into the bag of chicken. I could see that she made an attempt at the chicken- but that looks like about it. Oh well, it goes to a good cause – both the kids at school and this darn little kitty!! I guess I’ll have to be more specific when I tell someone that they can just ‘drop it off”
As for the rest of the night, I had a pretty good productive night which I was really glad about. Last night was really a very lazy night for me! But tonight Daryl had the show Charlie Brown’s Christmas on in the living room and I only watched a little bit of it and then worked on getting more candy made. It’s kind of weird. Once you have the ‘big’ day of making candy behind you, then after that it doesn’t seem to consume all your time when you’re making extra batches. I’m not sure why, but for whatever reason it works for me! After a couple more batches of candy made, I was also able to get some things packaged up to be mailed out tomorrow that I’ve been procrastinating on. That also is a good feeling. But what I’m not that happy about at all is that one of my burners for my stove died the other day, and this really isn’t a good time to have one of your big burners go out. I mean there is a lot of cooking going on in the next couple of weeks and you really don’t want to be limping along with only one big burner. So tonight I think I might have found a replacement for it. It doesn’t seem like it’s really the same size but I ordered it anyway. It was the only one available and I’m hoping that I just am not smart enough to know what size I really need. It’s one of those times when you literally are saying to yourself, ‘sure it’ll fit’ but secretly you’re thinking ‘oh well it’s only 10 bucks’. It’s scheduled to come yet this week and I guess I’ll find out pretty soon if it’s going to work. Below is a picture of the one that broke. There were three pieces that are missing now out of the middle. Not cool at all.
