Both of those things are much easier to recover from, than having people not like all of your food! 

I dunno. Getting a key made for my car? $65 a pop (getting two made). Keyless remote? $75.

I gotta get 3 keys replaced from work (no charge to me), and the rest of my key wad - not too bad. Outdoor shed I'll have to get made.

Shit.  :argh:  PITA.

But there's a little vinegar with the sweetness. I managed to lose my keys somewhere in the church and the dishwasher broke down.

My dishwasher "broke down" this last week, too!! She's better now, though!!  :-)

Keys were found. Dodged a $200 bullet.

Somebody apparently dropped them into a nearby purse. The woman didn't even know she had them until this morning when she went digging for something and pulled out a wad of keys she didn't recognize.

I should've done a better job in securing my keys. Lesson learned.

**** the dishwasher. Ain't my problem.

Yeah, but stick a fork in me. I'm done.

I'll make up dishes and bring them to future occasions, but I'm done trying to feed 80 people. I quit that shit better than 30 years ago for a reason.

Sounds like you deserved every accolade in that standing ovation!!!  :bow: :bow: :bow:

The "Ladies of the Church" are doing a bake sale fundraiser next weekend, selling stuff after each of the Masses. First one is Saturday at 5, and there are 4 on Sunday morning.

This is the first time I am participating. There was a notice in the bulletin, with a number to call if anyone had questions....so I called. I don't really know many people there, unless I knew them from somewhere else.

I'm making a couple of baked ziti with ground beef and Italian sausage, giant blueberry muffins with lemon glaze and cinnamon sugar cookies with orange cream cheese frosting and "autumn" sprinkles.

I hope my stuff sells....

I'd definitely buy one of your muffins and maybe one of your sugar cookies. Not too sure about the baked ziti since my heartburn has kicked up today for some unknown freaking reason........

I'm glad you found your keys. Boy, that sucks if you don't have backup copies.

Glad it was a success  :cheersmate:

Hi-5 for the ham and BS for not taking a pic of the final ham before serving.

BS accepted, only because I'm too damned tired and cranky to fight about it.

Didn't even think about taking a pic - another reason for taking it on the chin.  :p

It'll be okay after I play a few Christmas gigs.

The one year I missed playing Christmas completely (1994), I was a complete wreck until I figured out what happened.

I gotsta play me some Christmas gigs. That's all there is to it.

My plan is to do the Christmas tree next weekend. If I get that over with, I should be ok.

I detest the tree process, and have been known to procrastinate it up to Christmas Eve, and have also just put it up and done nothing else to it.

It's all assembled and in plastic wrap in the garage. All I have to do is decorate it.

I'm hoping that will make a difference.  :(

I don't like to put up a tree prior to Thanksgiving. This year, we're really going to have to be inventive as there is ZERO room for a nice tree.... :(

We won't put up a tree either this year. Our pup Tara is to inquisitive and likes to try and eat everything.
