Last night I was watching the new season of Top Chef and
Carlos came out and sat down so I told him about the show. I looked over and he
was out. I said:
“What’cha doin’ sleepy?”
“I’m not sleepy. I was listening to you.”
“What did I say?”
“They’re cooking something …”
And this started a conversation we have quite often where
Carlos falls asleep and I tell him that means he’s tired and should go to bed,
and he, like a kid, says he’s not tired and wants to stay up a bit longer.
“Go to bed!”
So off he went at about 10PM and I followed about a half
hour later; he was out like a light, a slight snore—either from him or Rosita—filled
the room.
This morning, over breakfast, he says:
“I was tired last night. I’m glad I went to bed early.”
“You WENT to bed? I TOLD you to go to bed.”
“I don’t recall it like that.”
He’s such a child. |
Like Carlos, I've been fighting sleep since I was three years old; I haven't voluntarily taken a nap since then (drove my mom to distraction); and I get up early and stay up late. It's a curse, but it's me. If I got to bed during the day time, Tim immediately starts taking my temperature and checking my pulse. I'm not a Taylor Swift fan in any sense of the word, but I've watched her over the past few months and give credit where due: she's mobilizing the youth to vote; she's given vast sums of money to charities; and appears to be a happy individual. That she's also a good businessperson just says she's smart. I also think she tends to be mean and vindictive but that's only part of who she is. It took me a long time to figure that out. Freedom of vs Freedom from: we've always been able to pray in schools, and learn about religion in school. No one took those rights away. What they did take away is being forced to learn one religion and no other. It's supposed to be an open discussion. So while "you" tell me about your god-fearing viewpoint, I'm going to tell "you" about my own paganism earthcentric viewpoint. And we'll both come out better for having learned something. Maybe. We're having another snow event (that's what they call them now) up in the middle of New York state. It's called Third Winter in the cycle of the 12 seasons. Much like second breakfast, it's short and to the point. The next season is mud season and I can't wait for that one to be over. Take care, and have fun!
ReplyDeleteI'll give Swifty props for getting young people out to vote, but not for conning her fans into buying all her merch, and the buying it again in new packaging.
DeleteI don't begrudge anyone their faith or beliefs, so don't begrudge me for having mine.
It's that simple. Respect for other's rights and opinions.
Oh, that last meme, LOL!
ReplyDeleteA spark of truth in there I think!
DeleteHahaha Oh, Carlos!
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine how hard you have to stop yourself from cackling.
And I'm giddy because Mango Mussolini may have to give up Trump Tower and hopefully more properties to pay for his megalomania. Couldn't happen to a worse person.
As for Taylor Swift, I find her music cute. Don't own any of it, but I can understand the Swifties. After all, until recently, I had every Madonna maxi single ever sold. So there's that.
And you know the GQP does not give a rat's ass about corruption in the Cheeto White House. They're in it with him!
XOXO
My issue with Swifty is the reissuing and the repackaging and the rebranding of stuff she's already done, slapping a new title on it, and making more coins.
DeleteEven Madonna doesn't do that!

Tuxedo. 💗💗💗
DeleteÖzkan Görmez ....yes....Id hit it!!!! And he me!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love Trader Joe's but anyone paying that much for a tote....is either stupid or senseless or both!!!
I've said it's pretty sad when a billionaire has to have GoFundMe pages to pay his bills. As I said to Dave if he supposedly so rich why is he begging for money like the homeless Corner person? And the idiot supporters give him money.
There's a little something-something about Özkan that I'd like to put my finger, and so much more on.
DeleteI cannot with these must-have items that are just totes or water bottles. It makes no sense other than proving there are suckers all over the place.
He ain't rich; and I cannot wait to see his properties seized.
Someone reminded me yesterday that the Ten Commandments are not Christian; they're Hebrew. Yet, we never hear these folks wanting to put the Sermon on the Mount up on the wall. That actual Christian stuff is way too loving and humble for them...not enough forceful demands!!
ReplyDelete🤔 I never question your choices on "Would You Hit It?" but today's selection looks overcooked and plastic, so just sayin' but it ain't my business!
👸 Tuxedo really hit ultimate drama queen in today's photo!! 🥰
Özkan isn't for everyone, and that's okay!
DeleteTuxedo, on the other hand .... gorgeous! And dramatic!
Trader Joe's...Stanley cups...Beanie Babies anyone?
ReplyDeleteYour Carlos story is one practically any committed couple can relate to. I WASN'T SLEEPING!
And obviously, math is not high on the GOP school curriculum!
Everything old and ridiculously collectible, is new again.
DeleteWouldn’t it be truly funny if that was the actual conversation in that last image.
ReplyDeleteI'd love it.
DeleteI hate Putin as much as I hate Kale, but I like the picture where he is laughing wth the Saudi Arabian (?) over Trump asking for money.
ReplyDeleteSchool is no place to be teaching and discussing the ten commandments.
Plus, if Hair Furor got a loan from Putin or the Saudis and was reelected this Fall, he'd be compromised as an asset to either Russia or Saudi Arabia.
DeleteSeparation of Church and State; it's THAT simple!
Kale the vegetable.
ReplyDeleteOh, I got that ... I like Kale. 😁
DeleteFunny how some Christians are so un-Christian.
ReplyDeleteSadly, yes.
DeleteI wonder what will happen when he cannot get the money he needs. Like always, he'll somehow get out of it.
ReplyDeleteI hope Letitia James begins seizing his assets; that'll hurt his ego.
DeleteMy sweet bear, can snore for an hour in the living room, then go to bed and be wide awake for 3 or 4 hours. I almost always fall asleep in seconds, I have gotten better at it as I have gotten older.
ReplyDeleteI will say that Carlos falls asleep quickly, even during Hurricane Katrina; seriously!
DeleteDid you see that good ole Jared thinks it a swell idea to chuck all Palestinians into the Negev desert and build expensive beachfront houses along the Mediterranean shore of Gaza to make oodles of money?
ReplyDeleteWell, Jared is like his con artists father, his grifter wife, and his criminal daddy-in-law, he wants to make his coins screwing the little people.
