The big night is over; big deal. Reminds me of Tennessee Ernie Ford - "You haul 16 tons, and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go. I owe my soul to the company store."
Well, let's see...I'm cooking the black eyed peas, collards and hog jowls (ok, so it's bacon, but pretend). Obviously, I want good health for me and hubby, and I'd love to strike it rich! The staying healthy part is fairly easy, but every year I get stumped on how to get rich.
I can't marry some rich old coot with one foot in the grave, because I'm already married. And even if I wasn't, most old coots seem to like those 20-30 year old plastic bimbos, and I'm a few years too late to pretend to be one of those.
The hubby has been in the backyard all morning shooting holes in the ground, just in case some of that Texas Tea made it's way this far east. No luck with that, but the sheriff's been by twice to make sure we weren't having a family feud.
I'm debating going in the lottery direction again. I still think it's rigged, but what the heck; it's only money......right? Then again, I think I'll just keep on working. St Peter, are you listening?
Yeah, I'm married, too!
ReplyDeleteSo much for being rich.
I know it's not easy, but you know those 'ice skaters' make it look so easy.
Great song and artist, by the way!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I cooked that crap, too.
ReplyDeleteEat your beans with every meal, the more you eat the better you feel, the better you feel...
So, eat your beans with every meal.
I think the collards are best when you don't add sugar, makes them nasty!
Better to serve them with a little salt and orange blossom honey...learned that from rag-head black cook, which I haven't seen or heard from in quite a while...wonder what the heck happened to him.
It just seems like all those rag-heads in Egypt and Iran...or what it all boils down to...you know "Oil Men" think they know what we want.
Pretty faces on TV and celebrity chefs.
Wow, seems I got off on a tangent.
Anyway, 'the greens' represent money, and 'the beans' mean GAS!!!!
You know, I think we could actually propel our own vehicle with 'by-products' someday.
ReplyDeleteI'm determined to be somewhat of an optimist.
I sure like Mike. Not the basketball 'Player.' Does that sound prejudiced? Sure does seem like these North Carolinians like the black one, and most never seem to have been exposed to the 'other' one...
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about Basketball and NC?
Guess it's like NASCAR.
GET MY DRIFT?
Practice makes perfect, but bouncing or bonging a ball in a net, or holding on to the seat of your pants and driving a car...
Guess I just like music 'more better.'

Talking about 'drafting,' just read your comment at QV's and I feel the same way about 'wrestling' and 'reality tv.'
ReplyDelete"...and, another day older and deeper, and deeper in debt."
I didn't dig this hole all by myself. But, I know I'm the one that's gonna cover it up, or fill it, or get buried in it...eventually...more than likely.
If I'd only known then, what I know now.
I was such a stupid kid.
