Needed: Alice Cooper to deal wth school...

School is really getting to me again.  I am having a terrible time keeping up.  It seems there is just too much going on in my life right now.  When I look at my weekly life it doesn't look that busy but when comes to actually living it there is so little time for anything!  I think I need some of what Alice Cooper sings about in his 1972 hit School's Out.  If you aren't familiar with it, here it is.  I don't have to deal with pencils or dirty looks from teachers but sometimes it would nice if school was out forever.  No, I'm not saying I want it to blow up or anything like that but not having any classes would be nice.  Maybe now that the kids are back i n school I'll be a little more motivated... but somehow I doubt it. 

This coming week is going to be especially tough because of everything going on.  I have to get Corey from school at 5:00 PM on Monday and Wednesday, I have to take him to pre-register for surgery at Decatur Surgery Center on Tuesday afternoon, he has surgery Thursday, the Huntsville Hamfest is this weekend and Alan's birthday is Sunday.  Who knows what will be going on at work.  Gonna be a busy week.

I guess school might not be so difficult right now if my mind wasn't so preoccupied.  I have soooo much on my mind here lately.  It is getting to the point that it actually is affecting my sleep.  Lately, I have been dreaming about things that I have been thinking of during the day.  Sometimes it isn't a bad thing but more times than not I would prefer to not deal with those things in my sleep too.  Stress 24 hours a day is too much.  I don't know what I dreamed about last night but apparently it wasn't good.  I woke up with my hand and wrist sore from apparently clenching my fist or something.similar.  Maybe tonight will be better.

Less stress is coming but I'm not sure exactly when though.  I'm ready.

A Taste of New Orleans When people mention food from New Orleans, everyone immediately thinks of Gumbo, Jambalaya, Crawfish Boils, and food seasoned with spicy cayenne pepper.  Maybe it's Po' Boys or red Beans and Rice.  Of course, it could also be bread pudding and bananas foster (YUM YUM!!!) but there's something else.  What else is there?     MUFFULETTAS!!!!!!!!! Oh yes!  Muffulettas.  Muffulettas are as much New Orleans as the French Quarter, Bourbon Street and gumbo.  What is a muffuletta you ask?  It is one of the greatest sandwiches EVER! This sandwich is pure Italian, and pure Sicilian if you want to be specific. New Orleans, in its population and its cuisine, owes much to Italy and especially Sicily.  According to some websites, the muffuletta sandwich was invented by Signor Lupo Salvadore, who opened the now-famous little Italian market called Central Grocery on Decatur Street in the French Quarter in 1906. Muffu...

A new direction with the Blog & Jambalaya!

After months and months of this thing sitting idle and me not having anything I have felt like sharing, I have decided to go a different direction with my blog.  Yes, I am still dieting and trying to lose weight.  My success is not what I would like for it to be but I can say I have made progress.  This new direction will also touch on this from time to time but overall I want to do something different. I could have chosen a number of things to write about like computers and networking, or ham radio, or politics (yeah, right) but there are lots of those type blogs out there already.  I am going to write about my cooking and meals.  I have no idea how this will go but hopefully I'll be able to keep up the content.  I'll share my recipes and thoughts on improving them, family reaction to the meal, maybe some pics of the dish and who knows what else. To kick this off, I'll start with last night's meal.  Sorry, there won't be any pictures for this one ...

No, I didn't Abandon the Blog Part 2

Whew.  The last few weeks have been rough, especially the last 7 days.  I had meant to post sooner but life just hasn't allowed it.  As some of you know, my dad has been sick and things are still not back to normal.  First though, I'll talk about me. My last nutritionist appointment went pretty good.  I hadn't lost much weight but I had lost some.  I still had about 3 pounds to lose.  I have been working really hard to get those three pounds off and have been somewhat successful.  The last I checked, I have about 2 pounds to go.  I have changed my diet around quite a bit but it is a slow go.  Still, I think I can make it. Dealing with Dad has really been tough the last month or so.  He was diagnosed with lung cancer in the last part of December as well as mild dementia and COPD.  Last Wednesday, he had surgery to remove the upper lobe of his left lung.  The surgery was successful but there are some side effects that ma...
