It's too quiet without the boys here making music... I missed them before they pulled out of the parking lot. I am rather proud of my negotiating skills...they were to leave yesterday morning but I managed to convince them that they really needed one more hot meal before hitting the road.
I made this chicken recipe I ran across and boy was it ever good! Basically slice boneless, skinless breasts into 3 strips, sprinkle them with chili powder, garlic powder, salt & pepper and I also used a bit of paprika. Wrap the strips in bacon, dredge them in brown sugar and bake them in a greased pan for 30-40 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and chicken is golden. YUM. So good so good. Next time I will zap them with the broiler though to crisp up the bacon even more. It was cooked but both K and I prefer damn near burnt bacon so it wasn't quite perfect for us. I served it with mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. I think it's a Paula Deen recipe or adapted from it.
I talked to Mr. Kirby this morning, he is the person handling K's disability claim. The one who has kept us on back to back 30-day holds since we filed. Well, looks like we will have the decision sometime early next month. I am scared to hope for help to come. I'm convinced we will be turned down. I don't think I can allow myself hope anymore. I rarely hope for anything anymore. I just expect the worst of everything and plan for it as best I can. I know that sounds down, but it's easier for me to accept defeat if I expect it to happen. I can't take being let down anymore.
Well, I really didn't have anything to talk about today, I just wanted to post again and see how many are surprised HA.

Wow another post. Way to go. Then it's time for me to leave a comment. I've been keeping up via googlereader (work's too crazy to comment often)
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
If the help doesn't come I sure hope you win a buttload of money so you can cut down on hours and get some you time.
Oh Weeks, don't lose hope. Hope is what keeps us alive.
If he gets turned down....don't give up. My husband was turned down the first time, and we reapplied again and he finally got it. Don't ever give up!! And I was very surprised at finding a post...thanks!
Sandy
Even if you lose, appeal!! Here in Oregon everyone I know on it had to appeal at least once or twice!
So glad you are posting again!!
Yay! Missed you. Maybe I'll follow your lead and post something after weeks of nothingness.
You're a blogging fool! Lol.
That recipe sounds interesting. I don't like bacon (I know, blasphemy) but the boyfriend loves it so I could make it and do a few baconless strips for me, lol.
Hopefully you get good news. If not, don't give up. Try again! :D Thinking good thoughts for you.
Nic- I know! Shocking isn't it! And I'm back today!!!
Janice- It just seems like I can take being let down easier if I expect it now. I've had my hopes dashed so much so often lately they are in hiding
Sandy & Nicole- I have a regular customer who has a lawyer who may help us if he is turned down but I have no idea if he will want money up front. I may find one who works like those ambulance chasers..no money unless we win type of thing.
Humincat- Yes- do it! Dust that baby off!
Ashley- I did pull the bacon off of mine because it wasn't crispy enough but it was still good!
Now please, come and throw pennies at Omar. Perhaps you can give them to me early enough to set them under the heat lamp a little...little flaming hot pennies...heh heh heh...
You had me at Bacon!
Keep the faith chica...
