2006 pixie stix!
new year approaches...are you ready?

The 7th year of the 21st century, Anno Domini Nostri Iesu Christi, is upon us. We have a New Pope, and by the grace of God, i am approaching my 20th year of soberity, and 6 months away from the start of my 3rd year here in salt lake city! come june will be 2 years here, and so i will start my 3rd year. wow!!

i plan on quitting smoking on sunday. that will be a major overhaul, since i been smoking since 1968. i dont know what kind of shock this will be on my body, but right now i think its a good time to quit. i know i cant survive another heart attack. i been getting alot of stiffness and numbness in my body, and im taking it as a sign.

its nice and quiet here at work tonight. no crazy people running about. the hotel is getting new security cameras installed, and should be done later on today. its gonna be nice. computer operated, no VCR tapes to fool with. state of the art stuff! and when they are done here, maybe they will come down to aspenview to adjust the system down there.

what major life change will you be doing for yourself in 2006? i think if you just pick one thing to start with, and once you accomplish that, start in on something else. i believe thats why "new years resolutions" fail so much, because people pick a number of things to work on all at once.

once i quit smoking, im gonna strive to be happier than i am now. i got quite a bit to be thankful for. i may not have much, but ya know, i really dont need much. i have always said, gimme a colour cable tee vee, a cat and a computer, and a nice clean place to live that i can afford, and im ok. i got all that, and im gonna try to be happy about it.

i mean, i should be happy!! i got everything going the way i want it to. i got a good easy peasy job, and all that, so why am i miserable all the time? i may not act like it, but i am. i worry about it all falling apart on me. after all, "im not allowed to have nice things happen!" aw bullshit!! who decided that?

so, thats my plan for 2006. pixie stix! i plan on quitting smoking, and being happy with what i have in my life. and ya know, i always tell people to have fun, and thats something i rarely do, is have fun! and im not gonna worry about stuff anymore, im just gonna go with the flow and see what happens next!!

thats one of the main things that keeps me going i suppose; is to find out what is going to happen next! i dont mean what kind of jackpot i will get myself into, but what i mean is just wander aimlessly down the path of life and see what is up ahead, and to deal with whatever happens, when things happen.

heres something that happened right now!! each paragraph in this drivel today is 4 lines long! did ya notice? i just realised that! i humour quite easily!! heheheee.
do me a favour, ok? have a safe weekend, and if you plan on going out to party and drink, please dont drive afterwards!! dont be a statistic this weekend!! *HUGS* to all!!



FACT OF THE DAY
Today in 1887, a petition addressed to Queen Victoria - with more than one million names of women appealing for public houses to be closed on Sundays - was handed to the Home Secretary. Alcohol and binge drinking continues to be of major public concern.

Quote of the Day
Walt Disney - "The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."

Recipie!!
Rustic Potato Chowder

8 to 10 slices Smart Bacon (or real bacon if you're not-veg)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 onions, chopped
3 shallots, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
4 cups diced, unpeeled new potatoes, any color (1/4-inch dice)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 cups organic milk (low-fat is fine)
1 cup Gruyere cheese, grated
another 1 teaspoon salt
freshly ground pepper
fresh chives and/or chive flowers

Create the base: In a large pot cook the Smart Bacon according to package instructions, until browned and crisp. Cool and chop into small pieces. Set aside.
Add ingredients and simmer: In the same pot over medium-high heat, add the extra-virgin olive oil, onions, shallots, and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes, or until the onions start to get soft.
Add the diced potatoes and teaspoon of salt and saute for about two minutes. Now add the mustard and milk. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the soup thickens and the potatoes are soft throughout.
Whisk and season: Whisk in the Gruyere cheese, another teaspoon of salt, and a couple pinches of pepper. Garnish with the bacon, fresh chives, and/or chive flowers.
Makes about six big bowls. YUMMITHY!!!!
