Bitchology

Bitchology

When I stand up for myself and my beliefs,
they call me a bitch.
When I stand up for those I love,
they call me a bitch.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do
things my own way, they call me a bitch.
Being a bitch means I won't
compromise what's in my heart.
It means I live my life MY way.
It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.
When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak
against it, I am defined as a bitch.
The same thing happens when I take time for myself
instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish.
It means I have the courage and strength to allow
myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of
what they
think I "should" be. I am outspoken, opinionated and determined.
I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!
So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame,
try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me.
You won't succeed. And if that makes me a bitch, so be it.
I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.

And that’s all I have to say!

MY FAMOUS EGGROLLS

Ok, so they really are not famous. I do have people who ask me to make them a lot.Not, just my husband and kids, but other people.

I decided to share with you how I make them.

039

What you need to  begin:

  • 1lb ground pork
  • 1 pkg of colesaw mix
  • ginger root
  • eggroll wraps
  • bean sprouts
  • alfalfa or broccoli sprouts
  • onion chives
  • soy sauce
  • oyster sauce
  • sesame seed oil
  • Deep fryer

You can shred your own cabbage and carrots if you want but I am all about saving time.

 044

peel and chop up 1TBS of ginner root

046

brown pork, add 2TBS of Oyster sauce, ginger, chopped chives, 1tsp sesame seed oil. 3 shakes of soy sauce. Mix together and cook for around 5 minutes.

050

Drain grease, and set meat mixture aside for now.

In a stir fry pan and cabbage, take a chunk of ginner root and put in a garlic press and squeeze. I love to do this to get all the good juices out of the root. Add more oyster sauce I drizzle a cross the top of cabbage, I do that with both sesame oil and soy sauce. I turn the burner on and heat all the way through. As, you are doing this add sprouts.

052 053

After all has been mixed and heated through add your meat.

 054

Keep on low heat and mix.

055

After around 5 minutes turn off heat. Your mixture is ready to roll.

058

While you are cooking you eggroll mixture heat up your deep fryer to 375. Prepare your work area.

you will need a cup of water and eggroll wraps. And I use a 1/4 measuring cup.

059

place you mixture on your wrap.

Here is how to wrap

At this point on the last corner get your finger wet and wipe on the edge of the wrap and roll over.

 064

put in deep fryer for 10 minutes

Here is the end result.

Enjoy!!!!

I also picked up a Vintage calendar from 1966 for my hubby. Just something that not everyone has.

Weekend at the Auctions

I spent Saturday morning and evening at the local auction house. I really enjoy auctions. It is like gambling except if I loss I did not loss any money.

I won three Shoulder Jugs. I was really excited. Except one had a funky smell to it. After the auction I got home and knew I needed to wash the smelly one out. I filled it with soap and water and let it soak. After about 45 minutes I decided to dump it out and rinse again. As I was dumping out the water I saw stuff come out and the smell was getting worse. Full on gag reflexes kicking in. I run out of the room. I know if I do not get away from the smell I am done for. I get a towel and spray some perfume on it and wrap it around my mouth and nose to mask the smell. I know I can not dump anymore in the sink. I take the jug outside and proceed to finish dumping it out there. What a good thing I did. As I was dumping it 2 dead mice came out of the jug. That was it. I could not take it any longer the gag reflex won.

Later, Saturday night I went to another auction. I was having a discussion with my girlfriend and we were talking about clothes. Two gentlemen were sitting near us and listening in. She had asked me about my shirt and then said to me look my jeans are the same. (the brand logo is located on the inseam of the pants) As I looked the gentleman looked and said “ is there something there that tells the brand name.”  With the big mouth I have I said : Nope, we women can look at the crotch of another woman’s pants and tell what brand they are.” Here’s your sign.

Then, today I was thinking I must be some sort of strange parent. The reason I say this is because when ever my children want to go to a friends home and I do not know the parent I talk to them on the phone and also like to meet them. Maybe, it is because of the way I was raised. My parents always wanted to meet my friends parents.

Today, Michael asked if one of his friends could come over to hang out. I was ok with that. So, when this young man was dropped off his mom just left. Did not even walk him to the door. Just drove off. Then, no phone call of when I was going to bring him home or anything. Or just assumed I would bring him home. And all I could think was WOW. So, what do you think am I strange or is this how things are now days?

What I have been up too.

I have been working on opening a online store. I have been selling on Ebay for sometime now. And like a lot of sellers am very tired of all the fees. Picture fees, insertion fees, final value fees, etc.
But, just like anything it takes awhile to set up. I have my account set up for Paypal. Now I need to figure in how I will add my shipping fees. Then it is getting pictures together of all of my items and set up categories for each. And still hold down a full time job.
So, I am hoping to have everything up by April. If I can get it to look and work the way I want it to.
