Don't call me Shirley!

Download word art here

I've got an older neighbor that thinks my name is Shirley.  I'm not sure how I introduced myself as Ginger and he heard Shirley, but he did.  He's very friendly and every time he sees me he says something like, "Hi Miss Shirley" or "It's good to see you Miss Shirley"  or "How are things going Miss Shirley"

He's a sweet guy and not someone who would call me the wrong name on purpose, but here's the problem---Like I said, he's older and so I don't always understand what he's saying, so by the time I figured out he was calling me "Shirley" it felt like too much time had passed to correct him.  So, the guy still thinks my name is Shirley.

Tonight, OCG and I were headed out for a walk and we pass the older neighbor who waves and says, "Hi Miss Shirley."  I said hi  back and we walked off, but OCG was very confused because it was the first time he had heard the exchange.

OCG:  What did he call you?
ME:  Shirley
OCG: Why?
ME: He thinks that's my name
OCG: Did you tell him your name was Shirley?
ME:  Nope
OCG: Why don't you tell him your real name?
ME:  I don't want to embarrass him.
OCG:  Don't you think it's going to be worse as more time passes and he continues to call you the wrong name before he finds out.
ME:  Nope
OCG: How is that possible?
ME:  Because I don't plan on ever telling him.
OCG: Why?
ME:  I told you. I don't want to embarrass him!


Wasn't there a Seinfeld episode about this?  Does anyone remember it?  How did it end?

Blame it on the oven!

So, the other day Orange Croc Guy was playing handyman and rehanging the curtains that I tried to hang all by myself only to have them fall on my head at night while I was sleeping. 

He decided that I actually needed to cook a meal to repay him.  I'm not sure why he thought he needed to be punished though.  lol!

Well, Sunday night was out because we had plans and so was Monday night because I had plans.  So, Tuesday night I cooked dinner.  (That's tonight, but it will probably be last night by the time I get this typed up and posted ~ we'll blame the glasses for that, but I'll save that story for another post.) 

I decided to make this chicken cheese thing that's not too hard and is something that I can actually kind of cook without having to worry about looking up the number for the CDC or the poison hotline.  Plus, you just kind of mix it together and put it in the oven so it's pretty simple.

Well, I did my best Julia Child imitation and got everything placed into the oven and went about my business.  It wasn't until I was ready to open up a box of something and a can of something else to use as  side dishes that I realized that while the chicken should be almost done cooking I couldn't smell it at all. 

I checked the oven and it was cold.  I had turned it on and the little red oven light was shining as proof that I had turned it on, but it just never warmed up.  Apparently, the heating element had burned out.

OCG just couldn't understand how I didn't know that the oven wasn't working.  I explained that it had worked the last time I used it, but I really couldn't remember when that was.  lol!

We ordered pizza!
