Bird Wars...On Pancake Sunday?!!

(Crow Snowball fight Rubber Stamp by Rubberhedgehog)

      Apparently the birds in my backyard got a memo from somewhere that said that more bad weather was on the way...or something!...because this morning there's some kind of battle going on for the remaining suet in the feeder...Some kind of bird war!...Boy, are they noisy this morning!! O_O
      I'm in here trying to enjoy my breakfast...without the pancakes...(long story) and outside my window 'Chubby', 'Pouchy', 'Ze-cap' the woodpecker, and 'nim'...^_^... are battling for what seems to be something like a 'this-may-be-my-last-meal' territory space!! LOL Oh, if only I could replay...in writing...the voice-over conversation, that hubby and I just did, both of us representing one of the bird players. ^_^
       The conversation ended with 'Chubby' telling the pushy woodpecker, 'Ze-cap', that he better back off or he'd "put a cap-ful of bird food in his tail"!! LOL...What can I say...my backyard bird crew don't play!! LOL Well...they don't play in 'this' kinda weather anyway!! This is the kind of weather where you have to protect your stash...AT ALL COSTS!!...I understand! Grrrr! I have some 'fiddle faddle' in my stash right now that I have to keep my eye on!! LOL
      Anyway!!!!...needless to say, hubby and I are not going anywhere this morning! And our meeting is not until 3 this afternoon now that we're starting a new year! :-) ... The temperature outside is 7!!!!....seven!!!!...SE....VEN!!! O_O That makes two days of ridiculously low temperatures here in our area! And...yes!...I know it's been colder in the mid-west...I'm sorry. :-( I have much sympathy for you!
      These are the kind of temperatures that make men start talking about things like 'meggins'!! LOL Even my husband was talking about them this morning! Ha! Ha!...At first I was confused. He said: "I think I may have to get me some meggins." O_O I said: "What?!....Who is Meghan?"
      He said: "No! Not Meghan!...Meggins...you know, men's leggins!!"...Ohhhhhhhh! ^_^ ...{Between you and I, I thought maybe I was gonna have to take some attitude training from the birds in the backyard, and figure out how to 'put a foot in a Meghan!' LOL...Sorry......the bird violence is getting to me!! ^_^}
       I think it's time to go back to bed! LOL...after I eat my breakfast I mean...

      No...it's not pancakes...*sigh*...I lost the pancake battle with hubby this morning. :-( I guess I didn't have enough attitude!...or I didn't speak up fast enough (considering my 'Yes, I'll have some!'...'No! I don't want none!'...reputation of late with the pancake situation. ^_^)

      Whatever!!...I'm good with bacon, breaded chicken pieces, grits, and eggs!! :-) ...
 

         Besides....they taste like pancakes! :-)) ... Happy 'Pancake Sunday', Everybody! :-) Keep warm...and well-fed. :-))

Waffle Snob?!

I love the way the pancake runs
right off the side and down my plate!
But on a waffle it just sits
like sticky blocks in a crate!

I love the way a pancake looks,
like it's soft to the touch.
But that thing with lumpy grooves?...
I mean a waffle, not so much!

I like the way a pancake
almost melts in your mouth!
But a trip across my tastebud with a waffle?
...heading south!

Buttering a waffle
 is like corn on the cob.
The ears are perked up,
but it's a messy, slow moving job!

One day I'm sure I'll like 'em,
if they ever stay warm enough.
But for now, let's just say,
Waffles get my nose rebuff!     

Sunday Morning!...You 'KNOW' What's For Breakfast!!

 (Set of 6  3"x4" "SUNDAY MORNING" Magnets by TornpaperMemories)

       What's for breakfast in your house?!...It's Sunday here. So I know you already know what we're having, right?! ^_^ That's why I don't have a lot of time this morning. I woke up late, and I still have a bit of studying to do before my meeting...*sleep issues overtook me yesterday! LOL*

      Before I head off though, let me share a couple of 'cuties'!...

      WOOD!!! Love it! :-)

     I have a shipment to get out today, a meeting to attend, a mother-in-law to check on, some friends to call and chat with, some boutonniere replacements to crochet, and a hubby to nuzzle. :-) Other than that...it's just Pancake Sunday as usual!! :-)

      Enjoy yours. I'm sure gonna enjoy mine!! :-))

It's Not Pancakes, But I'm Still Excited!!

      No, it's not pancakes! :-)) The pancakes are coming though! Hubby's already in the kitchen!...We're eating early, and getting all of our other morning stuff done, because "Company's Coming! Company's Coming!" LOL
       I remember my grandmother hollering that when I was little, when someone was expected for a visit. ^_^ I thought about it yesterday when I talked to my sister and she said she was coming by today. It's been a while! I'm excited!
       But that's not the 'excited' I was talking about in the header title. 'That' excited was the signs of Spring! I'm excited that I'm finally seeing signs in the backyard that it's not only here, but it's planning to stay a while! :-)
       Flowers are starting to pop up along the edge of the woods...and grow taller!...
 

      Leaves are starting to fill in my little tree outside my window...
 

      Pretty soon I won't be able to see through my little tree! :-) All I'll be able to see is my colorful little birds...and hummingbirds! :-)
 

    There's even little blue flowers growing already in hubby's flower bed...They may have to go though... :-( ...He's already gotten some seeds for whatever flowers he's putting in there..."Grow, little flowers, GROW!!!...Maybe you'll be too pretty to pull up!" ^_^
 

     Whatever! ^_^ ... Ahhhhhhhhhh!...I'm just glad to see some growth...of any kind! It means that Spring is finally opening up it's suitcase, and putting the clothes in the drawers!!! LOL....ACHOO!!!!!....O_O ...Uh Oh!!...Maybe I shouldn't be all that excited about it!! ^_^
        Tomorrow I have something else that's really exciting to share. It's a gift I was given yesterday!...In fact, I might need your help!...Stay tuned!...And have a good rest of the weekend! :-) ... Now...PANCAKE SUNDAY can begin!!! ^_^

The Curing Of The Anti-Waffle Snob!

 (Stack of Waffles Candle by SouthernBakedCandle)

     Hubby and I had a conversation this morning about waffles, and I realized...I'm an anti-waffle snob!!!...Then my mind did what my mind does on occasion, it went to a pretend 'Anti-Waffles Anonymous' meeting. LOL..."Hello. My name is Poetesswug...and I'm an anti-waffle snob"...*hanging my head*..."No, Poetesswug is not my 'real name'! I'm too embarrassed to use my real name here!" ^_^
     Okay, enough silliness...for the moment! ^_^ I've got to get to the bottom of why I don't like waffles!...Well, 'don't like' is kinda strong, because after all, except for the little craters, it's just a pancake, right?!...RIGHT?!!! O_O Help me out here!...At least, that was hubby's argument this morning!
      My aversion to waffles...and maybe 'aversion' is too strong too!...started when I was younger. Somebody...who shall remain nameless. Grrrr!...fed me waffles...Cold waffles. And they did it more than once! In fact, to the point where I was sure that waffles could never stay warm while you're eating them!    
       

 (Vintage Waffle Iron from LaurasLastDitch)

       Hubby says that's not true. And he talks about how waffles are the perfect blend of soft and crunchy, and how the syrup stays on them because of the grooves, and how every bite is a party in your mouth! LOL...That's 'HIS' story!! ^_^

(Waffle Soap by AubreyEApothecary)

 

      I'm not buying it! ^_^ But I, as the ultimate anti-waffle snob, and creator of the 'Pancake Sunday' in our house, deserve to give his theory at least an 'old girl' try! So, that's what I plan to do...but not today! ^_^
        First of all, we don't own a waffle griddle....excuse me...waffle iron!...*I was corrected by my hubby. ^_^ ...Waffle iron sounds to me like something you should use to make waves in your hair, but WHATEVER!! LOL*...And second of all, we have pancakes already on the agenda for this morning! :-)

     If you look throughout today's post though, you'll see that I'm trying to stamp down the 'snob-dom'! I'm looking at waffles anew in all kinds of positive ways! :-] ... A waffle candle, a waffle 'iron', waffle soap, a waffle necklace...a waffle necklace that was worn by a celebrity in a tv show no less!...

      ...waffle cone charms, and a waffle pillow! :-)) I'm determined to not be an anti-waffle snob much longer! ^_^

       This morning I'm gonna enjoy some blueberry pancakes, and maybe next Sunday....it'll be 'Waffle Sunday'! :-) ... I tell you what though, if those waffles are cold......!!!! O_O I won't think about that for now. I'm an anti-waffle snob, but I'm not a negative thinker! LOL...Have a good rest of the weekend, Everybody!! :-)
