Thank You For Comments on Turkey Disaster

Posted on November 29, 2002 by ksmiley



Dear Friends…

IamNina and Paulette

I would like to thank you both for your comments to my “turkey disaster”. I appreciate the comments greatly. I personally thought that 100 degrees was not high enough because of the germs and the ickies that come along if something is out in the open too long and not refridgerated, etc… 100 degrees does not seem high enough to kill what spoiled our turkey during the night. I am glad that we had back up from the Salvation Army in our city. I was embarrassed, yes, but te spoiled turkey did not spoil the rest of my day although I did want to find out why it spoiled over night. Anyway, Thanksgiving Day is passed now and I have a weekend of enjoyment, studying for a test, and relaxation with my cat Emilee. I will be glad to go back to school Monday morning, that’s for sure! School is in the future, YES!

I do know that 250 degrees is a lot better than 100 degrees and so the chances of the turkey spoiling over night in the oven will less greater than at the 100 degree temperature. My friend and I are going to buy a turkey from our Pick-N-Save store sometime soon and prepare it correctly the next time and have it for a weekend as our Sabbath enjoyment so we do not have to cook anything during Sabbath hours one weekend. It will be fun then, too.

The turkey disaster happened because of something being done incorrectly. The turkey “bird” was a freebie from our ECHO in our city but I do know it cost them some money. Again, the “bird” was not eaten. It was eliminated from my kitchen as soon as my friend who shared my Thanksgiving with me this year smelled it and it smelled icky. We did not even finish cooking the bird! It was dumped immediately into the trash bins outside our building.

Again Thank you for your comments about the turkey gone bad. I am glad to have heard from you both. Have a good rest of the weekend. Bye for now.

Lovingly,

Kristi

Forgot Something!

I think now I know why I am tired now. It is not just because it is getting late and it is past my bed time now. I have been kind of up since 5 a.m. this morning. I did not feel all that great at that hour which drove me to the bathroom ckeaning myself up from a diarreah spell. I had to clean myself up as well as throw a five year old comforter in the trash. Thank goodness the comforter was underneath me or I would have had diarreah ALL OVER my futon! I could not wash my comforter because of the bulkiness and the mess. That is why the comforter went into the trash. It took me over an hour to get cleaned up and not have any diarreah all over my backside. Anyway, after getting cleaned up, I felt better and the mess did not happen anymore throughout the day thankfully. I am embarrassed slightly but that is a part of life and so embarrassment is a part of life.

A Good Thanksgiving Day

Posted on November 28, 2002 by ksmiley



Where Did This Person COme From?

I had Thanksgiving with a neighbor, a friend, this afternoon. He had told me that a friend of his told him how to cook a turkey overnight and we did that, and we COULD NOT eat the turkey because it was spoiled. The way we were told how to cook the turkey had spoiled it because the tempature that was given was not high enough and so overnight, while the turkey was sitting in the oven, it got germs and spoiled. We did not eat the turkey at all because it smelled funny as we were sitting eating our meals from the Salvation Army. We did NOT eat the turkey or even give it a try because of the smell so my friend and I wil not get sickIn fact i am so embarrassed because I have always cooked a turkey at the given temperature of the given turkey and they always turned out fine. I should have KNOWN that 100 degrees tempature did not sound right and it should have been suspicious the minute it was even mentioned but I listened to my friend and my friend listened to this other person he says is a friend. This friend is a BUTCHER??! No way!!! Anyway, we are okay. We did not have a bad Thanksgiving after all. We had a spoiled turkey among us temporarily but it was taken to the dumpster immediately!!!!

Thanksgiving Did NOT Go All Bad.

I do have to admit that I did not have my family here or I being with them at all but I did have a good day. I am feeling bad that the turkey did not turn out the way I was told to cook it, but I do not feel bad that my day went just fine. I had company and I did not spend the day entirely alone. The weather was beautiful and the sun shone in the sky and the sky had blue in it today. It was a beuatiful crisp day all day long.

Good Night

With my busy day today, I am now tuckered out and ready to go to bed. I know it is not late since it is not a school night, but I am definitely tuckered out. I think I am going to say good night and shut down my computer for the night and come back tomorrow. I will write more tomorrow. I do have to go to bed. YAWN!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

Wishing Everyone A Happy Thanksgiving Day!

I would like to wish all my DD friends a Happy Thanksgiving Day! Not much is going on right now except a turkey is in the oven getting cooked up for the rest of the weekend and I have a cheese cake in the fridge chilling. A friend of mine is going to come up after the Salvation Army delievers our food between 12 – 1 p.m. this afternoon as we arre not going anywhere for Thanksgiving this year. The turkey in the oven is for Sabbath and the rest of the weekend as it is not being cooked for a Thanksgiving dinner.

Been Higher Than a Kite, LOL

I have to laugh because I was higher than a kite all day long yesterday until fairly late. In fact, I was lucky to fall asleep before midnight last night. I was so happy that I was excited about two wonderful things that happened to me. I had gotten an used desk for a reasonable price from a neighbor who no longer has his computer, and then, saving the bst for last, I got a card from my brother and his family including a faamily picture and school pics of the kids. Then, my mind brewing on having Thanksgiving Day with my friend Richard, ws on my mind all day long and night. I was higher than a kite and I did not eat or drink anything, or even take any medication that would have caused me to be so happy or higher than a kite. LOL

Today

Today being Thanksgiving Day, the sun is out today and the air crisp and chilled but not a cold brisk that makes me what to close the window right now. It is beautiful out for Thanksgiving. God has MADE this day a beautiful day for such a holiday.

Correction on Pagan Holidays

I have learned a couple of days ago that Thanksgiving is one holiday that is not pagan. People might disagree with me and that’s ok. Easter, Christmas, Halloween are pagan holidays. I do know that Thanksgiving was created when the pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock and the indians on that land helped the pilgrims settle and Thanksgiving came from that time period. HERE I THOUGHT THAT THANKSGIVING WAS A PAGAN HOLIDAY! Sorry for the error.

Happy

Thanksgiving

Posted on November 26, 2002 by ksmiley

Night is upon us Wisconsinians now at it is 10 p.m. here. My day has ended nicely. I did have company for a few minutes tonight when Nellie Mom came by to check some e-mail out from my compuer but really no company that stayed forever, which was very nice. I know that tomorrow I am going to be busy with cleaning my apartment and rearranging some furniture. I am beginning to feel a yawn come on… “YAWN” Well, this ends my night. Be back tomorrow sometime after I have my place rearranged an if the rearranging works out as planned. Good night. “YAWN” Good night!

Please do not get me wrong. I read a variety of entries here at Dear Diary and I do enjoy reading other entries…but when swear words are used, I find it sometimes appalling and something I wish not to see. When that happens, I quit reading the entry and try another day./ I am very choosey at times. I must be getting OLD for my ol’ age of thirty-two, huh???

The Personal Ads

I did the silliest thing this morning. Even though it is yet to be reviewed and approved, I put an ad in the personals at Yahoo! Now, after I have done it, I have been thinking about it and it bogs me because I am not really searching for a man yet. I am not yet ready even though a woman at my age of thirty-two would like to have a man in her life. Yes, I do want a man to share my life with but it has to be under the terms of God and not on my terms of what a man should have. I have done that all of my “wanting a man in my life” days and I have run into major snags doing that. Also, I had men in my life when I was not grown up yet. I am growing up everyday but not ready to have a man in my life yet. I still look at the cute men around me as one walks by, etc.. Yes, men are cute in these eye of mine, but I am NOT ready for a relationship beyond friendship and I am yet not sure if I will ever be ready. I will NOT doubt God a man in my life if He wants me to have a man, but I am pretty much done looking about. Marriage does kind of scare me as my parents have divorced in 1970 when I was nine years old, and that was twenty-three years ago now. Time does fly by when you do not know it did. Anyway, a man in my life right now would not be good because I am going to school and working VERY hard at in my classes and school work, and my socializing has been a little bit off because of school and school work.

The Perfect Man

I am finished writing what I think a perfect man. I have weighed the pros and cons of what a perfect man should be for me and I have run into trouble doing that, LOL I am done doing that very thing. I am not looking for a man to marry at this time anyway. If I do not get married, I am not going to fret about it because if I am intended to marry in God’s eyes. I am not to marry. If I am to marry, it is under God’s want for me. Anyway, marriage scares me slightly. I am not ready for commitment exactly. I am used to me being me and I do not like to be cuddlly all the time and most of my boyfriends in the past wanted to be cuddly and practically demanded me to express my feelings and one boyfriend – now friend was the only one who did not demand my feekings being expressed but he did want to cuddle a lot! i did not like that too much. Oh well..that relationship is over and so I am now again single.

Later

I need to go for now. Bye…

My Day So Far

My day has been nothing but lazy and low key. It has been, by far the best, quiet here all day long. the only time it was not quiet was when Emilee meowwed her wants to be loving and wanting all of my attention for a length of time. She has been a good girl all day long. She has been a good girl for a long time now and I am very proud of her.

The Sun Has Finally Peeked Out!

We have snow covering the rooftops now, but only a dusting on the ground. It is cold outdoors but it is a wintery cold and not yet a bitter cold. I did not have to go to school today as I am not going back to school until December 2, 2002 which is after the Thanksgiving holiday anyway. The sun has finally peeped out from the grayness that I have experienced most of the morning but for some reason it is not a sunshine warmth that is true. It seems fake and only a pasted yellow and not a real brightness that happens in the warmer months of the year. Oh well…that’s okay anyway.

Maternal Instincts Movie

I have been watching the strangest movie this afternoon called Mathernal Extincts and I think it is really horrific and weird. A woman, portrayed by Delta Burke, is having revenge on thoose who did her wrong in regards to having emergency surgery so she could not have any children. Apparently, doctor played by Beth Broderick, the doctor found cancer in “delta Burke” ovaries. Delta Burke is now seeking revenge on her husaband, doctor, and friend, and anyone involved with the three people. SPOOKY!!!! It iis actually horrible. EEEK!

Just Lazy

It is a perfect day for laziness! More later.

A Good Night’s Rest

Ahhh! Last night I had gotten a good night’s rest because I felt refreshed when I had awakened fifteen minutes earlier than my alarm clock would have gone off this morning. I even was awake during my two classes for a change of pace and taste for a Monday morning. I DID NOT FEEL GROGGY AT ALL this morning when I had awakened from a good night’s rest. It is ABOUT TIME! Good…

My Afternoon

I decided to stay at school until 1 p.m. this afternoon and I am glad I did. I got some studying done and I am very happy about that. I actually studied Unit 13 of BS math and also studied a wee bit of algebra where I was having some minor difficulty. You can find a wonderful math website at A Math Website I have been studying the math there outside my algebra and basic skills math and I have been having loads of fun learning and studying. Sometimes even at 7 p.m. at night and beyond I have been finding myself at Math Max’s website and working problems out. Today, at school, I decided to print out some exercises for me to study and learn and understand and I have quite a few pages of fun to learn. YEAH!

My Afternoon At Home After School

I did a couple of things that were needed to be done and I am excited that my afternoon tyrned out wonderful even at home. I visited with Nellie Mom for a while with another tenant in the office and then came back to my place and have been relaxing ever since.

That pretty much ends my day…but right now I am listening to the last few minutes of a history program about Ronald Reagan. The program is called Ronald Reagan: A Legacy Remembered and I am really enjoying this two hour documentary even though I missed the first forty-five minutes. Anyway, I do not think that my day is done yet – even when midnight rolls around. LOL

The Need To Vent

Posted on November 24, 2002 by ksmiley

Is This The First Time

Okay, this might be wrong, but I am not sure, is this the first time I have vented? If it hasn’t, it has been a long time, LOL Anyway, I need to vent today. EEEK!

I NEED TO VENT!

I am getting tired my friend thinking that I am avoiding her and I am tired of her talking negatively all the time. It is finally taking a toll on me. I know my friend has some issues to deal with and she has been physically ill lately but her negativeness is getting to me. I think she needs more help than I can give her at times. I will love this friend and I will not avoid her or make her feel abandoned. I can not do that, but how can I tell this friend that she needs to stop changing her e-mail address all the time. I know she is insecure about some things but she needs to grow up more to see that I am trying to help her and that I will not abandon her since I know what it is like to feel abandoned and I know what it is like to be avoided. I have been busy with school and she has been off and on there as well and I have not been avoiding my friend. I have been busy with school and my life and anyway she does not call me herself. If she thinks I am avoiding her, why does she not call me to talk to me about it instead of assuming that I will call her. I do have a life outside my friends. Am I beginninig to crack here?
