thank God it's Tuesday!

yesterday should have been banned.... or should be for all future years to come.
but, let's just say-- it ended better than it could have--- better than i expected it to. i expected WW-3 here .. but it didn't happen.. and i am happy about that. But-- i still feel a little "heavy" about some things. it'll pass though. it always does. right.

so anyhow-- let's just leave that stuff where it belongs....

we did eat the pigs ass-- or pork butt-- or whatever people want to call it-- and maaaan it was good. we have a ton left too. perhaps i shall make a big ole pot of chili-verde with it. i love that stuff. of course i would have to leave some out for soulkid. she doesn't eat that. but she loved it last night. she had a tough time gettin over the "butt" part of it-- but once i got it through to her that it was a shoulder-- and i wansn't just saying that to make her eat it-- she did love it. hubby out-did himself on that one.
our next venture? a big ole brisket! he is the master brisket smoker man.. he makes the best smoked brisket i have ever eaten.. even from a restaraunt. (i aint correctin it-- that's how i spell it , that's how you get it-- and yes i know it woulda taken less time to correct it-- but i dont care)

sooooo--- anyways.

we have decided to go away for the weekend.. to austin. sort of-- somewhere near there. i'm not even sure where the hell the place is. some time share out there. our time share place called the other day-- talked to soulman... they have been trying to get us to "upgrade".. for like the passed two years.. prolly cuz ours is close to being paid off. they tried to sell us like a damned 20,000.00 friggin time share last time we went. OMG NONONONONO. that was quite the fiasco too--some of you may remember.? anyhow-- we paid very little for ours-- and we have barely used it--and actually sort of regretted getting it anyhow--ever since the day we signed the papers... but that is what this whole thing is about. they want to get us down to one of their better "resorts".. and try to sell us a more expensive "week". it won't happen... but we'll take the free weekend away nonetheless. Lord knows.. i need to get out of here and look at somethin different for a couple days. only thing is-- hours in the car might kill me. that part-- i am NOT lookin forward to. the last couple road trips damn near killed me.

so anyways... that's all i got for now-- i spose i shall cruise a bit-- before it gets hoppin here. :))
and i will try to catch up on my comments from yesterday later.

i hope you all have happy days in your worlds today
i will definitly try-

Why bring something up, only to say "ha ha , not gonna tell you about it."?

My spouse is getting ready to leave for Plano in a few minutes. he is driving there. I said "ooh! I could go and you could dump me at my sisters for 2 days"

welll....nooo. He shot down that little idea.

I know when I'm not wanted. lol

I want some chili verde tewww!!

you guys better put on your armor of steel against those condo salesmen.:)
You know they're gonna try like hell to make you buy something.

Hope you have fun. I sure wish i was going somewhere. :(

What's yer POD?

Love me

JLee said...

You're kidding right? We are supposed to go to Austin this weekend (or near there) for our anniversary!
We should ditch the guys and go fishing! haha (isn't that a switch?) Maybe they can go shopping or something? lol

Mary said...

Change made. Sorry.

Glad you are getting a weekend away. Don't let the sales pitch win like I probably would. I have never been involved in a time share and don't know exactly how they work, but lots of folks have and enjoy them.

Hope you have a good day and that whatever happened yesterday doesn't ruin today, too.

Portia said...

how's this for senile? i told you happy humpday on my blog earlier.
uh yeah, the short weeks always feel longer for some reason..
anywho. hope you have a good one. i just might drink the whole bottle tonight, ya know, for the both of us:)

CRUSTY MOM-E said...

Let's ban the Mondays too!
Go straight to Humpdays!

Always,
Elizabeth~

I went to Queensland last year with my family for a nice holiday. While we were at one of the big tourist spots we got roped into attending this information day and in exchange we would get two nights at a resort really cheap. We wanted to give it to my parents for dog sitting while we were away. Turns out it was all about time share and man those people are relentless in their chase to get you to sign on the bottom line. We sat through about 4 hours of this before they handed over the voucher for the 2 nights accommodation....Jeepers....

We came back and gave my parents the voucher and they were thrilled with it. Guess what happened? They lost the voucher and never got to take the trip. AAARRRGGGHHH!! We sat through all that for NOTHING.

Beward the time share salespeople Soul....don't let your guard slip for a second.

Jessica said...

A weekend away sounds prettin' near perfect! Enjoy it!

The Real Mother Hen said...

COOL!
HOLIDAY!
That's so cool! :)

Now I want a holiday that I can get to eat the food your husband cooks! Ohhh beef brisket!!! You think he will cook for us (your blogging friends) one day? :)

Rebecca said...

Yayyy. A weekend away. THAT will be awesome, i am sure! Hope you had a good tuesday.

I knew the pork ass would taste great! Glad to hear that Soulkid likes it too. My kids used to avoid eating pork. When they were younger, I used to tell them it's chicken and they would eat it. Of course they can tell the difference now. They're starting to eat abit of lean pork now but if I give them pig ass, I'm sure they wouldn't touch it. so, pig shoulder it is then.

Anonymous said...

glad that ass was good! ha ha...enjoy your trip.... it'll be good to get away i bet....

SOUL said...

hiya crusteeeee---
:)) first for you--

i will send you the recipe if you want it.. for chile-verde.
verde simply means green.. i asume for the green chili used in it. they have chili colorado-- (red chili version.. alot like posole`)

anyhow--- how'd the tooth drama go?

laterz

SOUL said...

jamie!
pack you shit and come on!
have a great day today--
oxox

SOUL said...

oldy--

i spose i would say somethin like that-- to let ppl know why i may seem out of sorts-- some of my peeps do notice when that happens. but it's all good now.

i aint sayin a thing about your spouse and the trip out here-- well, other than,
i just don't get it. he's a strange cookie.
but oh well.. i'm sure there are reasons i dont know about.

i didnt make the chili verde-- i didnt make anything-- hubby fixed him and soulkid re heated pork for dinner and made me chicken soup... can we say awwwwww. i was not feeling good.

anyhow-- have a good day-

SOUL said...

JLEEE--
i know you told me your work schedule= i obviously have forgotten :((
call or email me when you get a chance-- let's see if that's an option.
at least coffee or somethin.. if we are close enough to each other-- k?
i think our fellas can live for an hour or two without us-- don't you?

are y'all takin your girl? i imagine no?
we are. and maybe a friend of hers too.. fun fun.
but we want to fish..and she never does, so she would have a better time with a friend there with her.

anyhow.. ttyl
happy humpday!

SOUL said...

hey mary--
i am NOT worried about the sales pitch one bit--
last time they pulled that crap on us, the woman was a terrible B****, and soulman went totally off on her. it was great. so i have no doubt, that if they don't tak a simple "not interested" this time.. they will catch the wrath that he wanted to, but didn't spew on the previous dragin lady"
LOL

we will not upgrade-- we really barely have had a chance to use what we have... why pay MORE for that?? nooop.

happy humpday-- hope all is well at your place.

SOUL said...

Portia==
i told ya ..
hang around long enough-- it rubs off!!!!

did ya have your wine? cuz i slept pretty good last night. :))

thanks bud :))

happy humpday --
half way there!!!

SOUL said...

crustee--
i don't think i like that idea-- monday , sure-- but goin straight to humpday? i would never have time alone-- or time to do the things i need to do here. so not hanks. :))

have a good humpday today!

SOUL said...

gypsy-- relentless is a very good word for those people.. ya just gotta go in with the right mindset and attitude-- we have done good so far-- they really work us though. but like i said-- they aren't gettin a nickel out of us!!!ever. :))

anyhow-- i hope you aren't sweatin your ass off today-- stay cool-- sleep well.. catcha latah...

SOUL said...

fostah!
yep it will be very nice gettin away-- i am only hoping i don't spend it sick.. i hope i can kick whatever this is before friday :((

happy humpday!!!

SOUL said...

hey motha--
pack a bag and come on out!

ya know, that is a good idea, we could cook a brisket and take it out there with us ---hmmmm.....
and yep---- soulman is a show-off whn it comes to his grillin talents-- he'll smoke a brisket for anybody--

y'all come have a bbq with us!!

SOUL said...

hiya R--
already mentioned my tuesday-- it was a combo of a few things..all in all--i wouldn't call it bad. but i don't think i'd call it good either. but i survived. so that much is good right.

good to see you-- hope you have a day with a LOT less stress involved today--

happy humpday!

SOUL said...

blur--- THAT is FUNNY_
we did the same thing to soulkid... told her pork was chicken, for i don't know how many years!!! LOL.
she just wouldn't eat any mmeat other than chicken.. so it's all we could do-- tell her EVERYTHING was chicken. it worked most of the time.
i don't think she caught on til like two years ago-- but now she eats a lot more ... not as much as i'd like-- but she'll eat pork, and beef, roast, etc.. without bein tricked. :))

kids...geesh.

hope you have a good day

SOUL said...

yankee--- you got me sick!!!

just kiddin.

yep it will be good to get away. i am lookin fwd to it.

hope you are feelin better soon.

:)) happy humpday/night.
