6 Hugs Short Girls Appreciate

short people got reason
short person alert
yeah, that's me
2nd from the left
my height causes my dislike of hugs
why?
tall men with big hairy bellies
I hate my face being buried in this
no, my drool is not from your exquisiteness
and let's not mention large breasts
laying on the top of my head
now you appreciate my dilemma?
here's

6 Hugs Short Girls Appreciate

1. The CYBERHUG where arm length or height isn't a problem
2. The SIDEWAYS hug with a clean, nice-smelling armpit
(that's me and my hubby)

3. The HANDSHAKE hug I can just kinda lean into.
Handshakes keeps me off of breasts & bellies.


4. The EUROPEAN KISS/HUG: fast in and out x 2
 only one cheek kiss if I'm lucky


5. The SON-IN-LAW hug...
it better be quick!


6. The COME TO MOMMA hug
I have no idea who this chest belongs to
but put that surf board down and
get on over here

I said "Come to Momma",

How to Cook & Clean at the Same Time

Do you ever get tired of putting hamburgers on the dinner table?

hamburger
NOT ME!
I love hamburgers
could eat them every day.
My husband...not so much

Today, we started back
on our healthy food (yuck)
not really
I'd like to lose a pound or 12

Do you ever cook & clean at the same time?
I'm talking - empty or clean the fridge
to make a meal?
We're going out of town
so the fridge must be clean

Here's how I cooked & cleaned tonight
A pound of ground beef browned
set aside
browned-ground-beef
I sauteed onion, celery, garlic & green bell pepper
red bell pepper would have added color & taste
but I'm cooking & cleaning
out the fridge
remember?
onion-celery-garlic-bell pepper
Saute till veggies change colors
not like a chameleon
just so you can see thru them
somewhat translucent
Add ground beef back to pan
with a can of tomato soup
cleaning out the pantry this time
Cleaning out the fridge & pantry
cuts down food waste and

So quick and takes just like the original stuffed peppers
see the rice?
"Stir-fry UN-stuffed Pepper"
is what I named it.
served with some baked broccoli
&
broccoli salad
two sides of broccoli helps with the diet
exercise on a stalk
I worried the hubs wouldn't eat it
ha! he cleaned his plate
complimented my efforts
wants the leftovers 
as a sloppy joe!

Pumped,
Tammy

Ever cleaned the fridge and created a keeper recipe from a throw down?
I'd love to hear about it. Love me with a comment!

Saturday Southern Slang - "tongue shui"

tongue-shui

My household makes up a lot of words,
 then, we USE them...

Some days are better than others
some days i should keep my mouth shut
tape it up
I say stupid stuff not even trying
tongue-shui
Today's Saturday Southern Slang
is
"tongue shui"
like feng shui but for the mouth

Definition: saying the right things in harmony with the environment & others

Used in a sentence: I'm sorry, did that hurt your feelings? I guess my tongue shui is off today!
or
I could tell you how to get rid of those bumps on your face but my tongue shui says I shouldn't.

Be careful little mouth what you say
my mom always says "if you can't say something good, don't say anything."
have you got a tongue that's loose at both ends?
practice some tongue shui
think about your words and place them carefully in the room
people and the environment will love you for it
There's a reason for thinkin' before you go speakin'

Tongue what?
