The cheese is in the pot

Goood evenin one and all. Bubba here and have I got a blog for you. First of all Yahoo has done some investagatin bout the old stand by Mac and Cheese dinners (boxed).
This is their findins.

The Winner at #1. Pasta Roni shells and white cheddar.
#2. Kraft Macaroni & cheese dinner original flavor.
#3. Kraft macaroni & cheese dinner premium thick 'n creamy.
#4. Kraft Velveeta shells & cheese original.
#5. Annies shells & real aged cheddar.
#6. Generic store brand Mac & cheese.

I know ya'll was just dyin ta know bout that! I was quite shocked! There are times when the Generic Mac & cheese is a gourmet meal for those of us whom are poor. Ya just got ta know how ta work it right. Ramen Noodles come ta mind. Now there's a meal. A 98 cent package of veggies and a bit of salad dressin will put you in the road to fine dinin! So get out the Sterlin Silver and fine linens. You'll be the talk of the town in no time. Invite guest over for pennies on the dollar. A Good time will be had by all.



For those of ya'll whom are to lazy ta look up the answer of the before picture of the Teddy bear that was restored by Mike. Here it is. So what ya'll think? Much improvement. The love of a good Teddy Bear will be around for centuries.



The cold of the day and evenin has us once again soakin dried Pinto beans in water ta bring them to their full size. They have been in soakin for serveral hours now. Still not time ta cook as of yet. This is an old photo. The beans are already cookin in this photo as ya'll can well see. But that's okay. I do tend to re-use photos from time ta time. But the blog is always different. Most important change of topics.
Mike has been workin on one of his doll creations. Arms and legs all sewed on and now lookin ta find the face of the lovely creature. Blue and teal the color of her skin. Mike will be glad ta share the photo of her upon her finish. She is the fourth in the series and we'll review them as we prepare ya'll for her unveilin. Tonight he plans ta work on her face.
As for the Speed Racer movie rented just yesterday. Well there was nothin recorded on the disk. Empty. Would not play at tall. So,I guess I'll not see it for now. Maybe they'll make it right and let me see another copy. Here's to a great evenin! Bubba

They got somethin agaisnt Sock Monkeys or somethin? Wha's sup with that? Iffin ya'll can read between the lines on a hand,ya'll would know what I'm thinkin bout now. But anyway,the world keeps on spinnin!



This old bear came to us from Ebay some months back. He needed a restorin gig somethin awful. So here he is. The after photo. Face done up in the 1960's bears. The before photo is on one of my Christmas blogs. Can ya guess which one? I'll leave that for ya'll ta look up. So challenge yourselves ta find out the answer. Mike has a soft spot when it comes ta restorin old Teddies.



Mike and I and the two Chihuahus all snuggled up on the sofa togehter ta watch The Miss America peagent on TV last night! Mario Lopez the anoucer,dressed up in his tux. Yesss-sir,was lookin sharp for the viewers. The finalist dressed in swim suits and evenin gowns. Twas a night of glamor,sparkle and talent. I was hope'in Miss Tenn. would win the title. She did pretty good! She was there till the very end. Miss Georgia took first runner up! Mike and I are from Atlanta,our hometown. So that was special. Applause for her! But now.....Miss Indiana (Katie Stam) took the judges by storm! And there ya see the picture up above of her bein crowned Miss America! The crowd goes wild! Tears flowin at her success! Rock on Katie girl! Applause from The Sock Drawer as well. Job well done. $50.000 for school fees ain't bad! Go-on wit your bad self! Ya go be smart ya hear? Make us all proud.


This here is a print done by Ms. Agnes Barton. Just enter Betty Turbo in ya'll's search engines and her store will come up. She blogs as well. So ya might want ta go and check her out. Her likeness of me is awesome!



Look at the Beer mug Mike got me! Just my size! From the thrift store. I'm a party'in Sock Monkey with purpose. Drinkin out of the finest crystal drink ware. Lead crystal Possums....Wow! I'm an uptown Sock Monkey. My celeb status has not failed me. LOL!



Some colorful coffee mugs another thrift store find. We had solid Black goth mugs before. Very depressin! Yuk! Don't worry. They've been tossed out. Now we can drink coffee with style and flair. Sittin in a Cafe in Paris. Coffee drinkin an event. The times of your life kind of stuff. The best part of wakin up,is Flodgers in your cup. Ya'll know the tune from the commercial. Or the guy with the mustache and Donkey walkin through the mountian grown coffee fields. What a coffee break!

That about covers it for today. Bubba

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N

I was just sittin here with my Teddy Bear and enjoyin a cold day inside. The bills have all been paid so I can stay warm with a roof over my head for another month. Got a cup of warm coffee and just chillin! The blessin's just keep on comin! Tonights low is suppose ta be 23 degrees. Chilly I'd say!

Mike went and rented movies yesterday. We have already watched two of them. The first one was one I wanted ta see for a long time. Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Who! The computer generated cartoon was delight. A cute fun movie for the entire playhouse or Sock Drawer,witch ever ya'll prefer. Hey,I choose The Sock Drawer,but that's just me. Better than bein one of those lost socks in the wash,that no one ever knows where they go to. I guess the mystery will never ever be solved.

Then the next movie was a stand-up comedy talents of Mr. Jeff Dunham and his ventriloquist characters. Twas made for adults and truely funny! Mr. Dunham is truely the modern day Edgar Bergman and Charley McCarthy! I suggest ya'll rent this funny act! Ya'll won't be sorry ya did.

Speed Racer is the next one we rented. The one with real people playin the roles. Haven't had the chance to view this one yet,but plan to tonight. To cold ta go out,so Speed Racer is on the agenda.



The thrift store bein the afternoon pass time of yesterday,was a great find to quickly follow. The Mystery Machine van!!!! Only for a $1.59! And then on top of that,it was half off because it had a green tag! How frickin awesome is that? Scooby-Doo,Where are you!?



The doors open! And there is a secret compartment to put your valuables! Doesn't my Teddy Bear look cool sittin in the back of the Mystery Machine?
Accordin to the Weather Channel,looks as is Nashville has got rain for the rest of the week! Gonna be a bloggin week! Rainy day bloggin! Mike and I will have to come up with some serious topics that we have yet ta cover.
Mike Mopped the kitchen floor this mornin for the enquirein minds. He also vaccumed the livingroom. Mopped the staircase. it was dutsy. Tomorrow he hopes to steam clean the carpet. I'm sure a Journal page or two will be set up for you guys as well. As for the trash out on the lawn,there is a black trash bag,a broken toy gun and a few brick pieces. On the stairs down to the street is a bubblegum machine plastic bubble, On the street curb there is a chewed up small teddy bear,along with a red plastic cup all busted up. Enquirein minds like ta know for some strange reason. The things a celebrity has to go through.
The long lost neighbor that moved away to Florida,is back and hangin around. Still got the pick-up truck. Showed up when Mike went on his vacation. It's a miracle!



So I leave ya'll with a peek at Mike's Doll collection. Hope ya'll have a great weekend! Bubba

Tattoo

Good evenin ta one an all! Are ya checkin out my Tattoo? Yeah,I got one. Check out the tough lookin sitches man......swwwweeeettttt.......
Narley dude. Ride'in the wave man. Pull your hair through a cap for blond highlights kind of stuff dude. Tightenin up the mohawk. Chainin your wallet to your hip good. Black fingernails and lipstick good. Hangin out in the graveyard good.

Kay! Now that that's out of the way. We can go on to other things here in my blog. In reality I had to coax Mike into lettin me have a tatto. Talk about tough! He really didn't want me to. I told him we can always unsew it. He agreed since it really wasn't permanent.

On the brighter side of things,three days and countin till Mike's vacation! Now that's what I'm talkin bout. Happy Sunday! Bubba

Later that same day

Here it is later this very same day.....and I'm a couch potato taday! Cold temps seem ta do that to a person. Sock Monkey,I mean Sock Monkey! LOL! Sorry bout that folks. Slipped out ta lunch on that one. Be back in 5 minutes. Gone fishin. Lost Sock in the wash kind of feelin. It twasn't pleasent. Bein all pink.....like that. Don't git me wrong...I like Humans. I think I'll keep my brown Sock colorin! But,anyway ya'll git the picture. Mike has noticed a hole in the back of my Sock head. Looks as if it'll be a patch job. I have ask him if he'll use the Sock Monkey fabric with S.M.'s on it,so's it'll look like a S.M. tattoo. He said he'd give it some consideration. Perhaps we could just sew it up and it'll look like a really bad,cool scar! Make me tough lookin! The biggest,badest S.M. ever! Scar Sock! I can see it now. Comin to a theatre near ya'll! I suppose ya'll will have to wait till the trailor comes out ta git a peek. There hasn't been any contracts come across my desk,so ta speak.



The Raspberries are here for a visit. Aren't they the cutest little things? Hey guys! And welcome to Bubba's Sock Drawer! Say Hi to the folks out in Sockland. O-Kay! Bubba's gonna go on talkin bout thangs. Ya'll just make yourselves at home and enjoy the blog. I always do love bloggin so my fans can keep abreast of Bubba's where-abouts.

Old re-runs of Stargate SG-1 on the SCI-FI channel. Great way to spend a lazy afternoon. And thanks for all your cards and letters ya'll bein concerned and all bout our TV situation. That was so sweet of ya'll! Thanks for all the sales and bargians ya'll informed us about! The new set is workin just fine and all is well. The old set was set out by the curb in hopes the trash guys would take it away. Oh the Tv set disappeared,but only for a day or so. It then appeared back on the curb all smashed up! LOL! Now it has disappeared but once again. I sure hope this time is for keeps! A Sock Monkey gits tired of the now ya'll see it,now ya'll don't kind of thang. I'm glad we had the chance ta clear all that up. Just so ya'll know...Bein a southern Sock Monkey and a gentlemen,once removed from the knittin machine. Don't make me go all Kentucky Fried Chicken on your ass. Crispy or Original is not the question. But it'll all be alright.

I'll just keep on babblin Sock Monkey goins on forever. By now TAPS has hit the TV scene. Let's look for ghost again. Fun ta hear the stories. Down at the Bradley Playhouse. Actors have reported seeing ghost in mirrors and glass reflections. So TAPS has shown up to debunk their ghostly claims. Either that or find some kind of proof. They really never have found that proof they always seek. A few things unexplained,but nothing ya'll could think of maybe bein real proof. So good for them if that's what they love ta do.

The sun has gone down once again over Nashville. Another day comin to a close. Like the grains of sand,fallin through an hour glass. Bubba

Boy howdy its cold

I'm tellin ya'll! It's gonna get coooollllddddd tonight! Right down ta 17 degrees! And tomorrow night? 2 degrees! Ouch! Here in the south! Ya'll see me here,still sittin and dryin off. I think I'm pretty close ta bein done. Just thought I'd smoke a stoggie. I know I shouldn't,but what the hell! And bang! The world still hasn't stopped spinnin! So there ya go on that subject.
We Sock Monkeys have way more important things to discuss. Years of wisdom! The red heel smile speaks for itself. Does it not make ya'll smile as well? Don't worry,be happy I always say! After all they are free ta give away. They always come back to you. The smiles I mean.
Now if ya'll are interested in what Bubba's doin this cold afternoon......I am currently watchin a show called "Growin up Penguin." Talkin bout a zoo that raises them. Tryin ta keep them from bein extinct. They tell but the eggs they have and how they check them twice a day to help keep them healthy and see that they hatch properly. I learned a good bit about them.
The show before this one was kind of interestin as well. It was on true stories of folks whom bought an old house and it was haunted. They told the story of what happened to them and their families while livin "Ghost." Now I don't know if they really do exist or not. I can only make some kind of educated guess. And then we never know if our guess is ever correct in some kind of way. Folks have been studyin it for centuries. No one has really come up with any real evidence. We can only tell bout the things we experience durin our dailey lives. I don't doubt that these folks aren't tellin the truth. Why would they want to look like fools to most of the population? I willin ta bet there is truth to it. My guess tells me this is demonic. I don't think God would let the souls and angels in heaven, scare people to this degree. God wouldn't do that. These people experienced posession and strange things like chairs and other objects move on their own accord. So this tells me its of the Devil's origin. It broke up families and some went crazy over it. They were all otherwise happy until they moved into this haunted mansion. I won't bore ya'll with it anymore,but I thought it was interestin ta watch. Much like the UFO shows I like ta watch. O-Kay! I'll not get started on that subject. I think ya'll have heard me git right up on my soap box bout our visitors. I'm just sayin!

The veggie soup of last evenin was ta die for! I was stuffed! LOL! No pun intended. But it did say that didn't it? All the vegetable goodness and vitamins! In a nice healthy way. Not ta mention the hot soup factor that keeps ya'll warm on a cold night. This is Bubba signin out. Happy hump day! Bubba

The soup is mighty warm

Just sittin here having a pipin hot bowl of soup! To cold for any livin thing to be out on such a night. As cold as A.K. is,it won't bother her at t'all! The meanest creature alive! No more drama in 2009! It's my turn! She says! Baaa-hum bug! Hipocrit! It's from the turner side of things! And no! He doesn't deserve a capital letter for his name. She makes even the witched witch of the north,south,east and west look like pixie dust spearders! The evilest thing you fear or imagine in that one! The woman doesn't know she's under a microscope herself. Here comes the ten fold! Are ya ready? Biggest surprise she'll ever git in her miserable life! Watch out below! As the bluebird of happiness shits on your head!
She can't harm a flea. She only thinks she can. Once again she was set up. And she fell hard thinkin she can still control folks. Not true here. You have no power here! The journal is all for you. I'm gonna fuck you up with it. Mark my words bitch!
