Dull Day

Winter just won't let go around here. In fact, we've got more winter now that we've had all friggin' year! Why is that? Why does it do this to me... give me 3-4 weeks worth of reasonably nice weather... no snow, sunshine, almost warm enough to put on a nice cool spring jacket... some rain - ok, fine. Birds start chirping away - everything appears as if spring is drawing near.

And, then... BOOM!

Just like that - one night you get up in the middle of night to wee-wee and you look out the window, only to see a massive downfall of giant white flakes, like Godzilla with a severe case of dandruff has walked into town. And, then it is freezing cold, snow damn near every day, and even more ice.

If I don't get me some warm weather soon, it comes down to two options for me - either way I'll end up in a small confined space with guards keeping a close eye on me.

Option 1: Go out on the town with a sawed off shotgun in my hand, shooting everything in sight while cussing the hell out of winter... resulting in a life sentence to prison.

Option 2: Completely lose whatever is left of my sanity and sit curled up in a corner, mumbling to myself about the impending doom and how the aliens, disguised as snowmen, are coming to take over the world... which will get me committed to the local funny farm.

I'm still fighting against both of these options.

Yesterday - traditionally in Sweden - was the national Waffle Day. Swedish waffles are quite different from the one's you're used to in the States. They are more like a dessert (which is why Swedes raise an eyebrow when you mention waffles for breakfast). You serve them up with whipped cream and jam of your choice - personally I want them with raspberry jam. I had gotten hold of some fresh (imported) strawberries, so I added those as well.

Yes, that's what I'm trying to say here. I gave myself a treat yesterday. I made me some waffles, and a cup of latte (I bought some little packets - just add water). I also popped a movie into the DVD and took a look at the Asian version of Dark Water, from 2002. Not a bad movie at all.

Below is a pic of the Swedish waffles I served up for myself.


It is one of those things that I don't like about being single. That's a hell of a lot of work to go through only for yourself. At times like this it would be nice to have a cute girl I could serve this stuff up to, and who would reward me with some wild and rough sex a big hearty smile.

I was gonna do the "Quirks About Me" post today, which won the poll I had up a while ago - but I'm really not in the mood. My team lost game 2 of the ice hockey semi finals and are now down 0-2, not looking good.

The thing that pisses me off is that they don't even appear to be trying to win any games right now... guys - it's not fucking Sunday league we're playing here!

I've always thought of waffles as a dessert too. I mean, all the syrup, and frutie jams and butter....blah. But, I'm the one choosing salad over french fries -- and I don't over do the dressing (calories can get you there).

Looked yummy though. You could make waffels for me? [And, the kids, and the DH.] I could reward and thank you with a big'ol hug and a cheek smooch.

(I could reward you more in my dreams -- oops...I didn't mean to share/go there....feeling a little blushing come on).

HEY, every body has dreams.

I'm anxiously and excitedly awaiting the "Quirks."

If my BFF finds me here, I might be in trouble. ;o), LOL

No, she already knows how addicted to you I am. Later Gator!!!

Your right Farmerswife, Everyone has dreams. Do you think I am needing a lil meds if I live through mine! LOL!!

Okay I am done....

Farmers wife you rock!

I have to send more smooches since I am at R's page again... SMOOCHES!!!!!

Anndi said...

Sorry about your team... as a Canadian, I totally understand.

As I Canadian, I also understand the profound reaction you're having to the damn snow that won't f*ing leave!!! ARGH!

Hop on a plane to Tahiti and meet me there.. oh, and bring the waffles ;-p

tt said...

How scrumptious that looks!!! I like you're idea of the 'reward' from a certain someone who would share it with you....yea, the smile..sure....ha ha ha

Think ahead kiddo...it'll be summer before you know it...go to a tanning booth and get some artificial sun or something...shotguns are a no-no!!

Jahooni said...

National Waffle Day?!!!!! are you kidding me?
Send some snow my way! ;)~

R.E.H. said...

Single In The City: If you slip into the Victoria's Secret lingerie - I'll make you all the waffles you can eat! I promise! ;)

Oh, and good. Keep up the good work!

Farmer's Wife: And, those waffles were quite tasty if I may say so myself ;)

And, it's ok for you to have fantasies right? Everyone needs to have fantasies!

Single In The City: I'm feeling the love here. Smooches right back at'cha! ;)

Anndi: Yeah, I was really upset after the game... it is slowly starting to ease... but I can't think of it too long...

Tahiti! I'm game! Sounds like a brilliant idea!

TT: Well, the smile comes first ;)

I've never been one to get the artificial tan. I'll patiently (?) wait to get a real one, baking underneath a clear blue sky on the beach... wearing dark sunglasses so I can ogle all the topless honeys parading the beach.

Jahooni: Yes, indeed, there is a national Waffle Day! And, you can have all the snow... ALL of it!

Jeff B said...

I swear those waffles are starring back at me.

I'm right there with you about enough of winter. I think Anndi is on to something. Tahiti sounds nice.

Knight said...

If it snows here again I guarantee I'll be locked up in a straight jacket soon after.

Watch out REH, you might start a brawl of blog ladies all fighting for your delicious waffles and offering the rewards you deserve. I've got my eye on farmer's wife and single.

Jen said...

You crack me up wee-weeing r.e.h.!

I've not heard of Swedish waffles. Belgium, yes. Swedish, no. But I do have to say that it looks mighty delicious!

I heart strawberries!

Karen said...

those waffles look like our belgian waffles. and you could have made them for some friends or you mom....it isn't all about getting laid. lol

Jay said...

Those waffles do look really yummy. You could pour some chocolate over them too, right? LOL

Anonymous said...

Swedish waffles . . . Belgian waffles . . . why doesn't anyone talk about American waffles?

And you mean to say that those things you made in the picture are eaten as dessert? Looks like the perfect breakfast to me! :)

Looking forward to the quirks post.

Em

Farmer*swife a/k/a Glass_Half_Full said...

Maybe it's the V-8 Splash [spiked with vodka] talkin' but r.e.h. you are my fantasy. Better than that trashy romance novel I last read.

You don't realize what a literary-ically (is that a word, I make my own) way you have with the women.

First time I read you??? Yep, addicted. Even love your ramen noodle, lazy, sports MBA (or whatever sport) day that you share with us.

knight needn't worry about me though. I'm too happily married, U'r too far away, and, I have developed a severe fear of flying since planes started falling apart in the sky (with people still in them)...but, single might be good for you; and/or you for her. [smiley-wink]

WTCrap! I just had another "naughty" thought -- is lakota channeling through me?

Speaking of which...where is she. I did print a [x-rated] story from her blog. I get distracted every time I tried to read it. But, it was reading quite...um...interestingly.

[Exiting now to Queen of Sheba tub with lakota's script] LOL! Ngt, Sweetie!

Happy Manana (hope I'm still under unsigned's usual word count comment).

Anonymous said...

LOL! Knight, I am on my way to Sweden you have to beat me there. Hey but ya know what, I will fly out with you maybe we can share him???!! He may like that!

LOL!!

Farmers wife! You are a hoot! I have Dreams, fantasies Naughty thoughts all the time! I choose to not act on them.. but I think R.E.H can get it!! LOL!!!

Single

Dianne said...

waffles, whipped cream, pouring chocolate

now I want hot rough sex and it isn't even snowing here!!

Ginormous Boobs said...

How the heck did I miss a holiday about waffles. I vow celebrate all next week to make up for it.

Dana said...

So, other than the "desert" toppings, are your waffles similar to ours? That looked really yummy by the way! WE need to find you a nice girl - here in the states *giggle*

Anonymous said...

I'll mail you a megaphone. You can lean out your window and yell "free waffles to any attractive person with a vagina between the ages of 18 and 37. Come get some."

March is marching on and we have yet to hear of any dating or even attempted dating. I thought by now you'd be pouring that tub of "Keso" on your wang and having some cheerleaders lick it off.

As far as dull day options go... Option 1 and Option 2 are pretty grim. I'd prefer Option 3 which is to go out chasing women.

They can't run away as quickly because of the snow and ice. If they get away you can follow the tracks in the snow. If they're homeless and hungry... Score! They'll beg to come in for a meal. A quick run through the wash and they're good as new.

Dull days... Boring hockey... Watching DVD's... There's a whole world right outside your door and it's full of women.

I write:

Sounds like the hockey players are not the only ones who are trying not to score. Get off the bench and take a few shots on goal. You're on a power play. Take advantage of it.

Don't waffle.

It is springtime out here and will get warm in the mid of next month!

Jo said...

Those waffles look so yummy, a bit crispy around the edges with fluffy pockets of goodness that would be perfect for little puddles of butter...gah, stop it! The strawberries look a bit like eyes, and then it starts to look like a zombie waffle. I seriously hope someone else has a dream about this instead of me.

At least when it does get warm, you'll have topless beaches!

Casdok said...

You can make me Swedish waffles anytime!

R.E.H. said...

Jeff B: Don't worry about'em - I ate them all ;)

Yeah, we should all go to Tahiti and escape the cold!

Knight: Haha... you make me laugh. It would (kind of) be fun if there was a brawl... I'm not sure I've ever been the cause of a real cat fight before ;)

Jen: I've never had Belgian waffles, so I can't say for sure - but they might be similar to the ones we get here. They are delicious though.

Karen: What? No! You can serve up waffles just to be friendly? ;)

Yeah I could have, I guess.

Jay: You could pour chocolate on them if you want, I guess. Never heard of one doing it, but sure ;)

R.E.H. said...

Emmeline: I love "American" waffles for breakfast, with butter and maple syrup (rarely get any - there are the kind you put in the toaster, but they're freakishly sweet).

Farmer's Wife: I'm honored to be your fantasy. And, y'all girls need not fight over me... if y'all can just put jealousy aside, there is plenty of me to go around ;)

Yeah, where is Lakota? She always pops in here for a kiss too...

Single In The City: Oh, yes! As long as it's alright with you girls, I'm all for sharing ;)

What? Wait! You're on your way? Which airport, where do I pick you up? When? Girl, I'd hate it for you to be lost in a foreign country!

Dianne: I can see how whipped cream and pouring chocolate can evoke sexual fantasies... but where do the waffles fit in? ;)

Ginormous Boobs: Welcome! Great name and nice rack!

I still have some leftover waffles, you know ;)

L.P. said...

My wild and rough sex radar went off... ooooh pretty waffles... yum....

R.E.H. said...

Dana: They are similar, but the Swedish ones are a little "softer" and a lot sweeter tasting... plenty of sugar in there ;)

You know how I love American women!

Unsigned: Yeah, I know. There hasn't been much interesting to report on the dating front. I've made a few feeble attempts, but nothing blog worthy.

It is always slow during the winter time... soon enough, spring will be here and all that testosterone will start flowing.

Joel: I envy you! I need me some warm weather... the cold is starting to do a number on me!

Jo: Yes, they are a little crispy around the edges... yummy! And, that was the first one, which I tried a little harder to make it look appetizing for the pic. The others I just generally throw some jam and whipped cream on, and shove it into my mouth.... hey! No one was watching! ;)

Cali needs to allow bare breasts on their beaches... as soon as they do - I'll be packing my bags in no time.

Casdok: So, when are you coming over?

R.E.H. said...

Naughty Lakota: What? That can happen? ;)

Alright... I'll send you some waffle love for now.

Farmer*swife a/k/a Glass_Half_Full said...

You're too funny! Unsigned is kinda' bossy, but kinda' right. Though, I know getting out in the cold weather is not enticing.

Still. Hit the gym or something. We'll be here when ya' get back.

Hey, I hope the PFC pics are all gooey and romantic like. Though, I'm not good at it I feel like writing something romantic.

And, what a fun trip around bloggie block to read everyone elses (should they all be gooey, and all).

Mike said...

Ahh, looks just like Canada.

I went on the shot gun rampage. I was smart though, I wore a stocking so nobody knew who I was.

Then I ate pancakes.

Right.

Leighann said...

Is it just me or did you strategically place those strawberries to look like perky breasteses?

And um, did you say "wee wee"? LOL

Anonymous said...

Did you freeze the leftovers? I see a week's worth of breakfast there. I mean dessert.

Get a job, it'll stop snowing. Every time hubby has off work it rains, go back to work the sun comes out. Weird.

R.E.H. said...

Farmer's Wife: As much as I hate the cold it's a miracle I get out at all sometimes ;)

I still frequent the gym almost every day - so I'm out there... just not blogging about pumping iron every day - that would be boring.

Romance? I'm hoping for something suitable for a really gory and violet horror story... I'm itching to write me some horror!

Mike: Stockings! Yes, why didn't I think of that... if I get knitted stockings, they'll even keep me warm as I go on a rampage!

Leighann: Strawberry nipples! Gotta love'em, huh?

And, yes, I said wee-wee ;)

Butterfly Girl: Yes, I've saved the leftovers. Didn't freeze'em yet, but they're still fresh in the fridge.

And, you make a good point for why I should get a job quickly!

Sparkling Red said...

Those waffles look stupendous. I would never ask anyone to Leggo my Eggo again!

R.E.H. said...

Sparkling Red: LOL! ;)

Mary P Jones (MPJ) said...

Mm, those waffles look fabulous!

R.E.H. said...

Mary P. Jones: Thanks :) They were yummy.

Jill said...

Why am i craving some waffle all of a sudden?
If I do at your place, would you do me some?

R.E.H. said...

Jill: Just come on over and I'll "do you some" ;)
