last night's beef steak Mood
Wednesday, October 1, 2008

it turned out pretty darn good! yummy! it's a pretty simple recipe:

1 lbs or more steak

add:

3 - 4 chopped cloves of garlic

some ground black pepper

1/2 tspoon cumin

some salt

1 bottle of beer

 

marinade at least 1 hr.

you can grill it or pan fry it. if pan frying it, put in a deep pan and add half of the liquid that it was marinating in. after it boils down, turn steak over and add the rest of the liquid and boil down again. cook till prefered doneness. tip: if you want some gravy with it, right before taking it off the fire, add a small amout of water and swoosh around till saucey. enjoy!

 

 

Frownwhat i been up to...

been cleaning out my closet this morning. getting rid of 2/3 of my work clothes.... pretty depressing. every piece of clothing i grab brings back good memories of where i worked. i miss it so bad... but i decided to let go of them cuz if i ever do return to work one day it will probably be years from now. i feel sad that i'm not able to work like most people my age who have booming careers. so i guess better to de junk that stuff so i would have a lighter load to move with. next is the closet down stairs. as far as cleaning the house after we move everything, i'm thinking of paying a crew to profesionally do it, just to save me from excruciating pain.

hope everyone's week is pain free so far!

    Fantastic news on the grants!!!!
    How is the group going - are you getting many ppl coming along now?
    Alicia I get burning hands too, mine is like an allergic reaction - I have problems with dust and molds etc, just wondering with all your cleaning up if that might be your problem???? I take Zyrtec to ease the problem, which helps a lot.

Tue: some news, good and bad Mood
Tuesday, September 23, 2008

Frown A friend of mine and a very dear friend of my mom's, told us this morn that she is leaving in about 2 weeks to move back to Texas. She is divorcing her abusive husband (which is good) but she is leaving Cry. She has early altzheimer's and her memory is already going. poor poor lady... she is so sweet and we love her so much. i wish she didn't have to go. i told her that she has to stay at least till my birthday (Oct 5) and party with me or i'll be so mad. i told her that we will call her every several days to remind her since her memory lasts only a few minutes at a time. hopefully she'll forget that she is supposed to move. but i'm behind her 100% for the divorce, she deserves so much better than him! i think maybe we should get a video camera and tape us hangin out so that when she leaves, she can take a recording of us, hopefully some memories of us will stay with her and when she plays the tape, she will smile. We will miss her so much.

 

Yell Got news back from the VA today that they have denied my apeal for the fibromyalgia claim. i'm, not giving up! those fuckin bastards! i'm apealing again, and if i have to go to DC and go to court over this, i will!!!!

 

Smile in good news... the VA home laon guarantee has approved of the house to buy! yippee! yippee! i'm so excited about the move but dread the work of packing. pray it all goes well!

also in good news, my car is now fixed and all problems seemed to have been solved. hope it stays that way.

 

well God bless everyone here and thank you all for your support! you all rock!

    That's sad about your friend, the video camera sounds like a great idea tho'.
    What's the deal with the VA??? What the hell are they thinking denying your fibro claim, duh!
    I hope it gets sorted out soon.
    I'm glad to hear the loan came through, and the car is running!!! Fingers crossed it will be good news from here on in.
    Let me know how things are going with your support group.
    Take care Alicia.
    Cheers

    I'm sorry to hear about your friend. The video tape idea sounds like a good thing. Packing is a huge pain in the ass but at least you'll be moving into a new house. Glad to hear about your car. Hope nothing else goes wrong with it. Hugs, Trouble

    Alzheimer's is such a cruel disease, I hate it. My beloved Aunt Betty suffered from it for about 12 years before she died last November at age 80. I'm still not over it. I think the video is a great idea - she's a lucky lady to have people like you and your mom who care for her so much.
    I'm about ready to launch a campaign with you against the VA. Enough's enough, You've got the fighting spirit which is great, it just sux that they won't just do the right thing and people have to get drastic to get any sort of justice. I'm pulling for you big time here.
    Man, I really have been out of the loop - didn't even know you were moving! I'm excited to hear it and hope it is a positive thing for you - maybe with the move all the other stuff will change for the better as well. Know what you mean about packing. I usually end up just giving a bunch of stuff away rather than having to deal with it! Good luck with it and hang in there.
