Bacon, laxatives & #1 dads!

Sunday was full of bad ideas and drunks…

Bacon.

Always a great idea, right?

I always say there aren’t enough foods with bacon in them.  Or, bacon makes everything better!  I mostly stand by those statements.

So… Super Sunday I asked the hub to make a meatloaf with bacon inside and then wrapped with bacon.  Awesome!!

It was ridiculous awesome and it quickly become painful.  Now I am sitting here several days later, (Thursday), drinking laxative tea…. It was that or the Drano I purchased last night for the backed up bathroom sink.  I think the Drano would have tasted better. Just one small sip, how bad could it be?

So yeah, I’m typing this waiting for some sort of explosion to occur;

OUCH!

and thinking about how tasty brownies would be with some bacon in the mix. 

Mmmmm....bacon. 

Um, what the eff google?

*drool 

Lesson unlearned!

Damn you bacon, you win again!

And now to the drunks...

Over the years, we have come to call Sundays, Psycho Sunday, at the bar I run, as the craziest people show up and try to get served a drink.  Psycho Sunday never fails to make me say, "what the fuck?"  

We aren't exactly in one of the nicer neighborhoods in Salem, we are much closer to the barrio and the homeless shelter; in fact, they can see our neon's from across the plaza, beckoning them to come closer.... so who can blame them for trying, really...

The homeless guy that came in and tried to get a drink, was nothing out of the ordinary, so I won't bore you with the details...

And then this guy walked in:

Actual guy much fatter, much drunker and #1 DAD, not greatest damn it; #1!

Wow!  I always wanted to meet the World’s #1 Dad!!  What an honor!

 

This guy couldn’t even form a sentence let alone the words Bacardi & Coke. Needless to say we asked him to leave and then he asked for a coke. Then his crazed buddy came in wearing all orange and said he was there to give him a ride and could he have a drink.  Um.... NO!!  Then there was a slew of insults from the guy in orange and incoherent mumbling from #1 Dad until my friend Liz yelled at them convinced them to be on there merry way back to their trailer somewhere in Hell!

Mother nature is calling me.

Splendid then...

Stylish Blogger Award!

I would like to give a huge shout out to http://umseti.blogspot.com

for this award.  I am new to the blog world and this made me feel special on a day that I needed something to cheer me up.  Thank you!

This award comes with some rules and I will try my best to adhere to them: 

Rule 1:  I am to acknowledge the blogger who gave me this award, and duly thank them, and list/link their blog and URL.  Done and done.
 

Rule 2:  I am to list seven things you may not know about me. This could be difficult, although really what do you know about me? Not much, as I just started blogging over the past weekend!

                          Seven Things You May Not Know About Me   


1.  I wanted to be a psychologist since I was eight years old, (thanks to the Bob Newhart show), but then I found out that you had to spend at least eight years in school and well, I am lazy, what can I say?  But I do have excellent listening skills and people do talk to me about their problems; I'm just not getting paid, feel free to call me Dr. Salmon ;-)


2.  I love movies!  I could watch movies all day every day for the rest of my life.  I love old Hepburn, Grant, Tracy movies very much.  I am also a sucker for the cheesy goodness of ate e's movies. Anything by John Hughes I can watch over and over again.  Why can't I get paid to watch movies?


3.  I have lost too many friends as a result of alcohol and drugs.  It is devastating to think about.  I used to drink more and do drugs every time I found out I lost another friend.  Three years ago, I lost two friends within two weeks of each other and I drank an ungodly amount of whiskey in those two weeks and did some other terrible things and I decided I had enough and quit all of it on August 30, 2008. 


4.  I love my friends like they are my family.  Friends are the family that you choose, and I have some really awesome ones.

5.  I have been running a restaurant/bar with my husband for the past eight years. It was a lot of fun in the beginning and don't get me wrong, it still has it's moments, but, the stress is outweighing the fun by a billion pounds right now. You will find out more about the past eight years as I keep reading and you keep writing... you should reverse that statement and it will make more sense!

6.  If it weren't for my sense of humor I would be in the "grin bin" or worse, by now.


7.  I am really quite shy.  Social situations give me anxiety (hence why I used to drink tons) and I go through horrible bouts of depression.

The third rule of accepting this stylish award is to share it with other bloggers who are starting out.  Fifteen, to be exact. I don't know if I know fifteen, I will try:

Ummm,  I'm so new to this that I am having a hard time finding new bloggers to share this with!! Any suggestions would be awesome! I will edit this blog when figure it out and share this award!!

Splendid then...
