Grizelda's Brew

January 23, 2009 - 21:16

"She knows her mind all right, your Auntie Grizelda,
She says she knows my kind, she might, maybe so.
Oh, yeah, she's raised you right, your Auntie Grizelda,
You only know the things she wants you to know.
I know she's having a fit,
She doesn't like me a bit,
No bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda.

You can't begrudge her style, your Auntie Grizelda,
She couldn't budge a smile and do it for free.
So righteous making fudge, your Auntie Grizelda,
So proper judging others over her tea.
You look just like her, you do,
I know by looking at you,
That you've been listening to your Auntie Grizelda.

[ad lib]

Oh, no, don't look at me like Auntie Grizelda,
It takes much more to be someone of your own.
You've got to make it free from Auntie Grizelda,
Or just like her you'll have to make it alone.
I know she's having a fit,
She doesn't like me a bit,
No bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda.

Auntie Grizelda, Auntie Grizelda ..."

Whenever I hear this tune, I think of my (dear, sweet) mother-in-law. It describes the triangle my life has been since high school rather well. If you've never heard it, I can send it to you. It's a Monkees song - Peter Tork sang it, amazingly, in just one take.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to make myself something to eat for supper or just snack on whatever comes to hand ... I'm just kinda tuckered out from a long week, and it's just me here, so there's no real incentive other than my tummy's prompts. Still contemplating a pizza or something, but I'd rather save the bucks. Spot has already thrown up everything he had bolted down earlier, so I won't have to worry about him for the rest of the night. That boy just never learns.

Speaking of which, I'm wondering what's going to happen next to warp my life around ... I'm hoping the ride smooths out soon or I'm going to be puking along side Spot! LOL!

Just wanted to say "HELLO!" to Ellen, who has been reading off and on for a very long time now. Miss you, doll! Hope to see you for one more dance soon!

What the heck is so great about getting drunk?? And don't tell me that I have to get drunk to understand ... I just don't see the the point, nor the joy. Somebody said that it was the "getting there" that was the fun part ...

Right. Flying/Free fall is great when you jump off a cliff too ... but I'm not going to forget to bring a parachute to slow me down when things look like they've gone far enough. *snort* Drinking. Stupidity at it's fullest swing, right there ... I think that there are better ways to have a good time and enjoy life.

But I am unfortunately in the minority, it seems. Ah, well.

Started Belly dancing last night. Had a good time and great start. Don't know that I'll make a career out of it, but I'm looking forward to the other results - mainly, weight loss/toning. I'm doing a good job of losing weight now that I'm away from Dona. Slowly losing bits here and there and shaping is coming along, but I'd like to put a bit ore effort into it ... something not expensive, fun, and new. Belly Dancing, it was! I had a great time and made a good start on meeting new people. I'm looking forward to learning more.

I'm also going to do my best to get into a Trade Show with my PartyLite. I'm hoping that last year's consultant isn't coming back so that I have a chance to get in ... I have the support of my Unit Leader, and that's all I need. That and $700. *sigh* I'm told that it's worth it though!

Okay, have the paperwork completed as best as I can ... Wish me good luck!

Sweet Dreams!
