Let’s See Here
The food got delivered to the other church of the same name about 20 minutes away.
There were so many people I haven’t seen in over 25 years.
Most of those people are so hard of hearing, and will not get hearing aids.
I had to make small talk about replacing a fuel pump in a 1993 Chevy Silverado.
I did get to spend time with my other BIL. He was one who suggested you only live once, better move to Colorado or you will regret it.
There were so many Trump talkers, and the guy whose life we were celebrating was a staunch Democrat. Like 30 years as a UAW Union member.
The Wife’s™️ hormones went way out of whack due to all the emotional stress of seeing her family members.
Most of those family members had made bad decisions.
The SIL of the guy who died showed up to the church drunk. Even I have never done that.
The food eventually got delivered for the luncheon. There was mold on the buns.
We’ve had some baby carrots, celery, watermelon, and cantaloupe so far. They couldn’t even get some hummus or crackers.
I suggested we have 50 people all drive to the Kwik Star to get Mega Big Buddies in honor of my BIL…who always drank about 5 of those a day.

HEY, IF YOU READ BOOKS, READ THIS ONE!!
An actress home for the holidays makes a bet with her former best friend-turned-online sensation. Katie Price is known in every living room in America. A small-town Wisconsin girl who became an A-list star, she rarely makes it home, but this year is different... Little does she know it will lead her straight into the piercing blue-eyed gaze of Wil Greene. A lot has happened in the decade since those cold Wisconsin nights when Wil and Katie drove around in Wil’s Bronco senior year. Since then, Wil's law career hasn’t taken off. Her father passed away. And what started as a personal challenge―kissing a new person twice a week, every week―has made her a growing sensation, but her life is still stuck in phase one. Through the years, the two have never left each other's thoughts and desires, but now suddenly, they are back in each others' lives. Their reconnection is instantaneous and the passion is palpable... but can it stand the test of time? Witty, emotional, and steamy, Everyone I Kissed Since You Got Famous is an unforgettable romantic read for everyone who almost kissed their best friend. And then finally did.
You know when you finish a book and immediately need everyone you know to read it? That's this book. I live a bit north of Green Bay and was down there yesterday and stopped at Barnes & Noble. I was perusing the fiction section and they had one of those handwritten cards recommending this book. It mentioned that the authors were local to the area, which made my Wisconsin-loving ass snatch it right up. Cut to me devouring this book today and giggling like an idiot every time Green Bay, Kwik Trip, Woodman's, etc. were mentioned. I loved the plot, the characters, and Busy!! I actually shed a few tears too, both happy and sad. Highly recommend this for anyone who loves sapphic romance, women finding their voices, and anyone who hates Mr. Andrew Cook.
PS: Tumblr also mentioned in the book sksksksksk
PPS: I think I'm gonna go to the signing/reading on Tuesday and I'm so excited!

WEDNESDAY WORD OF THE DAY
Quixotic [kwik-sot-ik] adjective: extravagantly chivalrous or romantic; visionary, impractical, or impracticable.
This has always been among my favorite words. It’s from Don Quixote, the epic novel by Miguel de Cervantes. If you don’t read the book, check out the film Man of La Mancha, based on the musical. Peter O'Toole, Sophia Loren, James Coco. Great stuff.
The song Impossible Dream perfectly sums up the character of Don Quixote:
And the world will be better for this That one man, scorned and covered with scars Still strove, with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star
The phrase “Tilting at windmills” is from Don Quixote. It means using time and energy to attack an enemy or problem that is not real or important. Early in the story he attacks windmills, thinking them to be giants.
If you think about it, TLC’s “Chasing Waterfalls” has a similar theme. “Don't go chasing waterfalls. Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to.”
Anyway. Back to quixotic. To quote The Great Wiki: Quixotism is impracticality in pursuit of ideals, especially those ideals manifested by rash, lofty and romantic ideas or extravagantly chivalrous action. It also serves to describe an idealism without regard to practicality.
As a hopeless romantic, I say it’s okay to be a bit quixotic. Take on that windmill. Slay those dragons. Chase your Dulcinea. You may not change anything, but then again, who knows? Maybe you will. Maybe your actions create ripples that one day does change the world, just like the Butterfly Effect.
Don Quixote is a comedy, a drama, a musical (well, Man of La Mancha is anyway), a romance, and a tragedy. In short, it is a metaphor for life.
Now if you’ll excuse me, Pancho and I must saddle up and move on to our next quest.
I love you, baby. I’m glad we both followed that star. MWAH!
Y’all have a quixotic day.

"I've got a Wawa hoagie." is not a real sentence, it's a gnome of a sentence.

Cookie Theft Crime the First;
I had purchased a box of cookies. I set it, foolishly, on the kitchen counter, forgetting that I now had a Tall Dog who can easily put her paws on the counter and reach the top of it. Came home from work to find the cookies gone and the dog unrepentant. Began training her to stay out of the kitchen. This worked, but only when we were there. She won't go in the kitchen if we are around, but if we aren't watching she figures the laws don't apply.
Cookie Theft Crime the Second;
We baby-gated the kitchen off. However, Tyr, being a great Pyr, is most of the time a lazy shag rug of a dog who likes to nap on top of the air conditioning vent for the nice cool breeze. HOWEVER, when motivated by a coyote in her yard or a package of molasses cookies in the kitchen, she transforms into an athletic beast of a dog. She quickly discovered that she could jump over the baby gate with ease. The cookie box was found chewed open and the cookies eaten upon returning home from work. Dog was unrepentant.
Cookie Theft Crime the Third;
After the baby gate plan had failed, I put the cookies in a cabinet. This has worked to ensure cookie safety for several months. HOWEVER, she has somehow figured out that if she paws at the cabinet door exactly right it will open enough for her to shove her nose in, and then it's all over for the cookie box. She ignored the bags of potato chips in the same cabinet. She was only after the coveted Kwik Star Soft Baked Molasses Cookies. Dog was unrepentant.
Am currently investigating magnetic catches for cabinets.
So SOMEONE (my dog) is a HORRIBLE CRIMINAL (somehow got a closed cabinet open and ate an entire box of molasses cookies)
This is the third time she has committed Crimes for this particular brand of molasses cookie, which happens to be my favorite. Each time I have escalated the Cookie Security measures, and each time she has figured out how to defeat them to get to the cookies anyway.
Am contemplating child locks and/or the top of the fridge.
