I went over to Cee's today intending to only spend 2 hours there because I had said I would cut up the onions and green peppers for our *Irish spaghetti* (as my brother, Josh, called it). The Beast thinks he makes the best spaghetti when, in fact, he is making it the way I always did....LOL. I don't mention that fact to him because then *I* would have to make it. With my back problem, I really end up feeling crippled up if I have to stand that long.
Of course, he doesn't use some of the spices that I always did so I manage to put them in when he isn't looking. I know, I'm bad....
An exciting thing happened today before I left for Cee's. I went out to the chicken coop to clean off the high shelf that the chickens have *discovered* and like to perch up there at night. I had to clean off the poop so I opened up the barn to let the place air out good, went to the shelf to clean it off and I discovered an egg. Our first egg! I was so excited. It was small, which surprised me, but I was told the first eggs are usually small ones. After cleaning off the shelf, I was trying to hold the egg, hold the brush and pan that I had used and open the gate out of the coop and I cracked the egg. I was horrified.
But, when I got into the house to show the Beast the egg, he just told me to go ahead and crack it so we could see it. I put the egg into a custard cup and it was a surprise because the *white* part of the egg was clear as glass. I mean it looked almost like we had a yolk sitting in water, that's how clear it was. Amazing. I covered the custard cup and put it in the fridge and we will fry it up in the morning to taste it and see if it tastes different as we've been told.
I called the Princess to ask her if her hens were laying yet and she said not so far. But she was going to check out in their coop because her hens are older than ours are so they should be by now. Unlike her hens eggs will be, we will have to refrigerate ours because we have a rooster in with them and they will more than likely be fertile.
When I got to Cee's, I told her about the first egg and she knew that was a real Red letter day for us. I just wish they would use the nesting boxes but they will do what they want when the urge strikes, I guess.
Cee and I sat and talked about a lot of things from when we were kids. It was really kind of fun because talking about one thing led to another. We even talked about different people we had grown up with and wondering what happened to them as they got older. But I guess we all do things like that when we get old.
After the Beast and I ate dinner, I went into my computer room to watch TV since the Beast was watching his *news* programs and talk shows that only seem to discuss politics these days. I get so tired of hearing all that garbage that is going on. It makes my brain hurt because the Beast is so full of opinions and he has never voted in his life so who cares?
I just realized that I left my cell phone in the car on the seat. I had it in between my legs while driving home and I forgot it was there because I never did get a call from the Beast. I had spent 3-1/2 hours at Cee's house and expected to hear from him about my not having cut up the veggies for him before I left. I hope it didn't fall out on the driveway. I'll have to check in the morning. Damn.
When I got home, he had all the ingredients for our spaghetti on the counter so I did that right away for him. If he does it, we end up with huge pieces of onions and green peppers because he doesn't have the patience to cut them up right. When he was outside washing the Prius, it gave me the opportunity to add the spices that it needed without him being any wiser. Phew!
I fell asleep watching TV and the Beast went to bed early and didn't wake me. He knows by now that I keep my own schedule and that the need for the bathroom would wake me...whenever. LOL And, of course, it did. I changed into my pj's after that and went back to sleep. Not that I planned it that way but I was awakened by the same need a bit ago. That's why I am writing this so late at night.
Well, time to get back to sleep. Love you all. Be good. ***Hugs***
