Struggling To Find Ourselves

…quiet again.  My Sister and her girls left several hours ago.  Dad went to bed a couple of hours ago.  My boy is in bed too.  So now, it’s just me and the computer again.  Have a REAL mind to try going to bed again tonight, even though I’m NOT really tired, and NOT sleepy at all.  May end up paying for it in the morning for awhile, but…what can I say?  I got cold when I was outside earlier, and haven’t been able to get warm.

The crockpot creation I made this morning that was supposed to resemble chili didn’t turn out TOO bad.  Needed a touch more seasoning, and some tomato sauce, but it went over pretty good tonight.  Out of about 5 quarts, I have less than one left….which, in plain English, that boils down to enough for a couple of us adults for lunch, but there aren’t enough for leftovers for everyone for dinner again….*shakes her head in agreement*…Yep, not TOO bad.  A little doctoring the recipe some more, here and there, and I think we’ll have a decent meal.  Next time, I think I’m going to try starting it before I go to bed on one of these nights when I’m up half the night, and I’ll cook it on low for 10 or 12 hours instead of trying to hurry it on high, so it only has to cook 5 or 6 hours.  Yep, it turned out pretty good!!!!  That will be one that we will probably do again some time soon, just because it DID go over so well!!!

Okay, folks, I think I’m going to go crawl under my wool blanket and snuggle something cute and furry and see if I can get warm…or at least warmer.  You all take care, and stay out of trouble.  And I SHOULD be around sometime tomorrow, for at least an entry or two.  *hugs* to those that normally get them (you know who you are)….*sings*….Nytol…..will help you get your zzzzzzzzzzzz’s!!!!
