God Help Me, I’m A Stepmother

God Help Me, I’m A Stepmother
Sung to the tune of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"

God help me, I’m a stepmother
Oft times I am dismayed
That DH spawned with BioHo
He so rues those days
Two of her five are his bios
And for this he’s paid
Strong liquor brings comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
Strong liquor brings comfort and joy

Fack Off Friday

It's been awhile!

Fack off to:

* Crowded stores (we do NOT have enough toilet paper to last 'til the end of the year so I will have to go to ~gulp~ Walmart).
* Arsehole drivers. You were driving UNDER the bloody speed limit until I passed you. Then you get a wild hair up your arse, speed up, and tailgate me. ~eye roll~
* All people who believe this is the season of GIMME, not GIVING.
* 24 days 'til I have to spend several hours with all of the farking skids. :sick:

OT - Warm-fuzzy Wednesday

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I'd like to take a moment to think of things for which I'm thankful. Things OTHER than food and wine...

The usual (but important!!):

* my basic needs are met: roof over my head, reliable vehicle, a job
* my DH: I am blessed to have a man who loves me, understands me, and who is key to the woman I've become
* my family: especially my Dad, who showed by example what unconditional love is all about; and my sister who is my BFF

OT - Foodie Friday

Thanksgiving (for me) is just 'round the corner and is the time of year that definitely ups my desire to bake. My DH doesn't even like cranberries and thinks apples are OKAY, but he luuuuuuuuuuuuuvs this dessert! IMHO, the combination of apples is what makes this dish.

APPLE-CRANBERRY CRISP

Topping
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
2/3 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, room temperature

OT - Women Wednesday

Ah, deodorant and antiperspirant. The stuff that keeps you from stinking!

Deodorant with antiperspirant are NOT the same thing. Antiperspirants control body odor AND sweat it two ways: first by forming a gel with the moisture in your armpits that blocks sweat glands from releasing MORE sweat, and secondly, by reducing the bacteria that causes body odor. Deodorant only prevents (hopefully!) body odor.

OT - teenagers and dating

Well, sort of off topic.

When I was growing up, the rule was you were not allowed to date until you were 16. Not 14. Not 15. Not 15.75. Not 2 days before your 16th birthday. SIXTEEN. Period. Dot. NO exceptions. Sure, we could (and did) have boyfriends/girlfriends in school. We ate lunch together, walked home together (if we lived close), talked on the phone (no longer than 30 minutes - landline!!). But we did not go OUT on dates until we were 16.
