Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew!

Blonde's Cookbook

Monday:

It's fun to cook for Tom. Today I made angel food cake. The recipe said beat 12 eggs separately. The neighbors were nice enough to loan me some extra bowls.

Tuesday:
Tom wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said serve without dressing. So, I didn't dress. What a surprise when Tom brought a friend home for supper.

Wednesday:
A good day for rice. The recipe said wash thoroughly before steaming the rice. It seemed kind of silly, but I took a bath anyway. I can't say it improved the rice any. Thursday:
Today Tom asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said prepare ingredients, lay on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving. Tom asked me why I was rolling around in the garden.

Friday:
I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said, put the ingredients in a bowl and beat it. There must have been something wrong with this recipe. When I got back, everything was the same as when I left.

Saturday:
Tom did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. For some reason, Tom keeps counting to ten.

Sunday:
Tom's folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast, but all I had was hamburger. Suddenly, I had a flash of genius. I put the hamburger in the oven and set the controls for roast. It still came out hamburger, much to my disappointment. Well, good night, dear diary. This has been a very exciting week. I am eager for tomorrow to come, so I can try out a new recipe on Tom. If I can talk Tom into buying a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with chocolate moose.

AAADD

Now I have an excuse! I'm so glad there is a name for what I have! LOL

I just wanted to let you know that I recently was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden.

As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my car needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mailbox earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my checkbook off the table, and see that there is only one check left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I realize the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need to be watered.

I set the Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on he kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

the driveway is flooded
the car isn't washed,
the bills aren't paid,
there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter,
there is still only one check in my check book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses,
and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail.

Do me a favor, will you? Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember who I have sent it to.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!

    Real story

    A man had had one too much to drink and managed to drive his van off the A830 road between Mallaig and Fort William, in the West Highlands. The driver knocked on the door of the nearest house, a B&B. When the proprietor opened the door, the van driver said: "Listen, can you give me a lift? I've had too much to drink, and I've crashed my van. Please don't tell the bobbies, OK?" The man at the B&B said he couldn't take him in his car until he had dressed properly, so he asked the driver to wait. The proprietor went upstairs and changed into his full police uniform. He then proceeded to charge the driver, put handcuffs on him and placed him in the back of his police car, which had been hidden in the darkness beside the house. After a while, police from Fort William, 40 miles away, came and took the drunk away. The van meanwhile had been reported by motorists as blocking the A830 with lights blazing and keys still in the ignition. The hapless drunk was fined £500 and banned from driving for 18 months.

    Chocolate eclair

    Mr Cadbury and Miss Rowntree met on a Double Decker, it was After Eight.

    She was from Quality Street , he was a Fisherman's Friend.

    On the way they stopped at a Yorkie Bar, he had a Rum and Butter, she had a Wine Gum.
    He asked her name, 'Polo, I'm the one with the hole' she said.

    'I'm the one with the nuts,' he thought! Then he touched her Milky Way.

    They checked in to a hotel, and went straight to the bedroom. Mr Cadbury turned out the light for a bit of Black Magic.

    It wasn't long before he slipped his hand into her Snickers and felt her Cream Egg. He fondled her Flap Jacks then he showed her his Curly Wurly and Miss Rowntree shaked her Tic Tacs for him.

    Miss Rowntree wasn't keen to have any Jelly Babies, so she let him take a trip down Bourneville Boulevard via her Party Ring. He was pleased as he always fancied a bit of Fudge. It was a magic moment as she let out a scream of Turkish Delight.

    When he pulled out, his fun size Mars Bar felt a bit Crunchie.

    She wanted more, but he needed a Time Out, however, he noticed her Pink Wafers looked very appetizing. He did a Twirl, had a Picnic in her Sherbet Dip and finished off by giving her a Gob Stopper!

    Unfortunately, Mr Cadbury then had to go home to his wife, Caramel.

    Sadly, 3 days later his Magnum lolly started to drip. It turned out Miss Rowntree had been with Bertie Basset who had Allsorts!!!

    Nelson Mandela

    Nelson Mandela is sitting at home watching TV and drinking a beer when he hears a knock at the door.

    When he opens it, he is confronted by a little Chinese man, clutching a clip board and yelling,

    "You Sign! You sign!"

    Behind him is an enormous truck full of car exhausts.


    Nelson is standing there in complete amazement, when the Chinese man starts to yell louder,


    "You Sign! You sign!"


    Nelson says to him, "Look, you've obviously got the wrong man", and shuts the door in his face.


    The next day he hears a knock at the door again.


    When he opens it, the little Chinese man is back with a huge truck of brake pads.


    He thrusts his clipboard under Nelson's nose, yelling,


    "You sign! You sign!"


    Mr Mandela is getting a bit hacked off by now, so he pushes the little Chinese man back, shouting:


    "Look, go away! You've got the wrong man. I don't want them!" Then he slams the door in his face again.


    The following day, Nelson is resting, and late in the afternoon, he hears a knock on the door again.


    On opening the door, there is the same little Chinese man thrusting a clipboard under his nose, shouting,


    "You sign! You sign!"


    Behind him are TWO very large trucks full of car parts.


    This time Nelson loses his temper completely, he picks up the little Man by his shirt front and yells at him:


    "Look, I don't want these! Do you understand? You must have the wrong name! Who do you want to give these to?"


    The little Chinese man looks very puzzled, consults his clipboard, and says:



    (It's a beauty)


    (Wait for it)



    (Get your best Chinese accent ready)






    "You not Nissan Main Deala?"

    Father O'Malley

    Father O'Malley rose from his bed.
    It was a fine spring day in his new Texas mission parish. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside. He then noticed there was a jackass lying dead in the middle of his front lawn. He promptly called the local police station.

    The conversation went like this: "Good morning. This is Sergeant Jones. How might I help you?"
    "And the best of the day te yerself. This is Father O'Malley at St. Brigid's. There's a jackass lying dead in me front lawn. Would ye be so kind as to send a couple o' yer lads to take care of the matter?"

    Sergeant Jones, considering himself to be quite a wit, replied with a smirk, "Well now father, it was always my impression that you people took care of last rites!"

    There was dead silence on the line for a long moment. Father O'Malley then replied: "Aye, tis certainly true, but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin.

    Heaven and hell

    Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering.

    Finally fed up, God said, "THAT'S IT!! I have had enough! I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job."

    So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.

    They moused.

    They faxed.

    They e-mailed.

    They e-mailed with attachments.

    They downloaded.

    They did spreadsheets!

    They wrote reports.

    They created labels and cards.

    They created charts and graphs.

    They did some genealogy reports.

    They did every job known to man.

    Jesus worked with Heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.

    Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power went out.

    Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld.

    Jesus just sighed.

    Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted his computers. Satan started searching frantically, screaming:

    "It's gone!! It's all GONE!! I lost everything when the power went out!!"

    Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all His files from the past two hours of work.

    Satan observed this and became irate!

    "Wait!" he screamed, "That's not fair! He cheated!! How come He has all His work and I don't have any?"

    God just shrugged and said,

    "JESUS SAVES"

    Satan observed this and became irate!

    "Wait!" he screamed, "That's not fair! He cheated!! How come He has all His work and I don't have any?"

    God just shrugged and said,

    "JESUS SAVES"

    Nelson Mandela

    Nelson Mandela is sitting at home watching TV and drinking a beer when he hears a knock at the door.

    When he opens it, he is confronted by a little Chinese man, clutching a clip board and yelling,

    "You Sign! You sign!"

    Behind him is an enormous truck full of car exhausts.


    Nelson is standing there in complete amazement, when the Chinese man starts to yell louder,


    "You Sign! You sign!"


    Nelson says to him, "Look, you've obviously got the wrong man", and shuts the door in his face.


    The next day he hears a knock at the door again.


    When he opens it, the little Chinese man is back with a huge truck of brake pads.


    He thrusts his clipboard under Nelson's nose, yelling,


    "You sign! You sign!"


    Mr Mandela is getting a bit hacked off by now, so he pushes the little Chinese man back, shouting:


    "Look, go away! You've got the wrong man. I don't want them!" Then he slams the door in his face again.


    The following day, Nelson is resting, and late in the afternoon, he hears a knock on the door again.


    On opening the door, there is the same little Chinese man thrusting a clipboard under his nose, shouting,


    "You sign! You sign!"


    Behind him are TWO very large trucks full of car parts.


    This time Nelson loses his temper completely, he picks up the little Man by his shirt front and yells at him:


    "Look, I don't want these! Do you understand? You must have the wrong name! Who do you want to give these to?"


    The little Chinese man looks very puzzled, consults his clipboard, and says:



    (It's a beauty)


    (Wait for it)



    (Get your best Chinese accent ready)






    "You not Nissan Main Deala?"

    Beat a dead donkey

    Father O'Malley rose from his bed.
    It was a fine spring day in his new Texas mission parish. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside. He then noticed there was a jackass lying dead in the middle of his front lawn. He promptly called the local police station.

    The conversation went like this: "Good morning. This is Sergeant Jones. How might I help you?"
    "And the best of the day te yerself. This is Father O'Malley at St. Brigid's. There's a jackass lying dead in me front lawn. Would ye be so kind as to send a couple o' yer lads to take care of the matter?"

    Sergeant Jones, considering himself to be quite a wit, replied with a smirk, "Well now father, it was always my impression that you people took care of last rites!"

    There was dead silence on the line for a long moment. Father O'Malley then replied: "Aye, tis certainly true, but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin.

    Naughty chocolates

    Mr Cadbury and Miss Rowntree met on a Double Decker, it was After Eight.

    She was from Quality Street , he was a Fisherman's Friend.

    On the way they stopped at a Yorkie Bar, he had a Rum and Butter, she had a Wine Gum.
    He asked her name, 'Polo, I'm the one with the hole' she said.

    'I'm the one with the nuts,' he thought! Then he touched her Milky Way.

    They checked in to a hotel, and went straight to the bedroom. Mr Cadbury turned out the light for a bit of Black Magic.

    It wasn't long before he slipped his hand into her Snickers and felt her Cream Egg. He fondled her Flap Jacks then he showed her his Curly Wurly and Miss Rowntree shaked her Tic Tacs for him.

    Miss Rowntree wasn't keen to have any Jelly Babies, so she let him take a trip down Bourneville Boulevard via her Party Ring. He was pleased as he always fancied a bit of Fudge. It was a magic moment as she let out a scream of Turkish Delight.

    When he pulled out, his fun size Mars Bar felt a bit Crunchie.

    She wanted more, but he needed a Time Out, however, he noticed her Pink Wafers looked very appetizing. He did a Twirl, had a Picnic in her Sherbet Dip and finished off by giving her a Gob Stopper!

    Unfortunately, Mr Cadbury then had to go home to his wife, Caramel.

    Sadly, 3 days later his Magnum lolly started to drip. It turned out Miss Rowntree had been with Bertie Basset who had Allsorts!!!

    Hapless drunk

    A man had had one too much to drink and managed to drive his van off the A830 road between Mallaig and Fort William, in the West Highlands. The driver knocked on the door of the nearest house, a B&B. When the proprietor opened the door, the van driver said: "Listen, can you give me a lift? I've had too much to drink, and I've crashed my van. Please don't tell the bobbies, OK?" The man at the B&B said he couldn't take him in his car until he had dressed properly, so he asked the driver to wait. The proprietor went upstairs and changed into his full police uniform. He then proceeded to charge the driver, put handcuffs on him and placed him in the back of his police car, which had been hidden in the darkness beside the house. After a while, police from Fort William, 40 miles away, came and took the drunk away. The van meanwhile had been reported by motorists as blocking the A830 with lights blazing and keys still in the ignition. The hapless drunk was fined £500 and banned from driving for 18 months.

    Bad day

    I rear-ended a car this morning. I tell you, I knew right then and there that it was going to be a REALLY bad day! The driver got out of the other car, and wouldn't you know it! He was a DWARF!! He looked up at me and said "I am NOT Happy!" So I said, "OK, then, which one ARE you?" The day just deteriorated after that.

    Age-activated attention Deficit Disorder

    Now I have an excuse! I'm so glad there is a name for what I have! LOL

    I just wanted to let you know that I recently was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

    This is how it manifests:

    I decide to water my garden.

    As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my car needs washing.

    As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mailbox earlier.

    I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

    I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full.

    So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.

    But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

    I take my checkbook off the table, and see that there is only one check left.

    My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking.

    I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I realize the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

    As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need to be watered.

    I set the Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.

    I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.

    I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

    I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on he kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

    I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

    So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.

    Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

    At the end of the day:

    the driveway is flooded
    the car isn't washed,
    the bills aren't paid,
    there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter,
    there is still only one check in my check book,
    I can't find the remote,
    I can't find my glasses,
    and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
    Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired.

    I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail.

    Do me a favor, will you? Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember who I have sent it to.

    Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!
