L'Appuntamento - Ornella Vanoni

I fell in love with this song (L'Appuntamento sung by Ornella Vanoni written by Roberto Carlos / Erasmo Carlos / Bruno Lauzi) the first time I heard it, even though I didn't know what the words meant. I heard the song again last night for the first time in a long time, so I thought I want to put that on my blog. While I was surfing around, I googled the english translation, so here it is.
How beautiful.

The Appointment

I've been mistaken so many times by now that I already know
that today is almost a certainty
I've been wrong about you
but once more
that you can change my life
to accept this strange appointment
has been a madness!

Love, make it soon,
I don't resist
if you don't come,
I don't exist
I don't exist, I don't exist

I am sad among the people
that are passing nearby
but the nostalgia of seeing you again
it is stronger than weeping:
this sun shines on on my face
a sign of hope.
I am waiting when suddenly
You appear in a distance!

It is necessary to finish with this soon
Necessary to remember that I exist
That I exist
That I exist

Car lights, shop windows, streets,
everything seems so confusing
my shadow is tired of following me
the day dies slowly.
Don't leave me to return to my house
to my sad life
this life that I wanted to give to you

My New Love

As you all know I went to our P-Burg location last Friday to help them with their Grand Opening. It was a lot of fun, but a lot of work.
Monday afternoon when I returned from lunch I found a box on my desk with my name on it. Inside the box was a pretty wrapped package. It was a "thank you" gift from Byron and Donna for my help. Donna had asked me about the gift while I was there Friday and I told her I appreciated the thought, but no, I really didn't need anything.
Byron texted me on the way home asking me about it. Again I declined.

Alright, I should've said yes, but since they sent it, I am in LOVE!!
DH came home last Friday night an installed the showerhead/hand held shower for me. I said ok, and went on. When I did take my shower later than evening, well let's just say I used up ALL the hot water.
I highly reccomend it!
It's made by Alsons, and it's in the In2ition series.
It has 5 settings, full spray, fast massage, full spray massage, aerated spray, and tickle.
Everyone should have one of these. They are so relaxing.

Finally Friday!!

Friday is FINALLY here!! Yea!!!!!! I felt like doing cartwheels around the house. For some reason this week it just couldn't come soon enough. I was sharing with a friend earlier this week that starting Monday at noon I start thinking, "Is it Friday yet?".

Sad huh? What does that really mean? I hate my job? Or where I'm at?
As a teenager everyday I must have said, "I can't wait until it's Friday." and I can still hear my Momma saying, "Quit that, you're wishing your life away!!".
Well here we are, at least 16 yrs (+) later, and I'm still doing it.
Does that mean my Momma was wrong?? My life is still dragging by during the week.

At least it did turn into to being a stellar Friday. So all was not lost in vain.
Tomorrow we are going to the Ky State Fair in Louisville. I want to be there to see the Angus Cattle Show. It starts at 8, and it's a 2.5hrs drive from here. I told DH on the way home, "You do know that means we'll have to be up and ready no later than 5am, right?"

Hope everyone has a great weekend!! It's suppose to be wonderfully cool weather here.

Hubby's Kinda Breakfast

This is one of DH's favorite breakfasts. He's only fortunate enough to get breakfast on Sunday's when I have plenty of time to piddle in the kitchen.
Really it's the rice he likes best. I generally serve it with scrambled eggs with cheese, and a tortilla. Below is the recipe for the breakfast rice.

Ingredients:
1 roll of hot or sage sausage browned
1 green pepper chopped
1 red pepper chopped
1 onion diced
1 Tablespoon of chicken flavoring (such as a bullion)
(I use a brand from GFS, but you can get it anywhere)
3 cups of instant rice
3 cups of water for rice
tortillas

Brown sausage. I recommend hot or sage sausage because it has much more flavor to spreed around. When browned, put your water on to boil for your rice. Adding the chicken flavoring to your water with a dash of Mrs. Dash.
Add peppers and onions to your sausage while your letting your rice cook.
When rice is ready mix together and cook on top of the stove together. About 5-7 minutes allowing the flavors to mingle.
Serve hot with eggs, tortillas, and salsa

note: rice is enough for several people. this makes enough for DH to have rice for at least two days.
