Today was my first day at work. I spent the first half of the day painting the bathroom stalls with stinky enamel paint... by myself with no one to talk to (now that was hard for me!). The rest of the day I helped clean classrooms and spot painted. My excitement was getting a rash from the paint thinner. I know you guys are all jealous of my fun filled day. I'm not a morning person and hated getting up at 5. Now... onto the food. Brad grilled these country style ribs and they were marvelous! I came up with the rub myself :) I had never had country style ribs and I loved them. I'm typically not a big rib fan because I feel like I'm just eating bone and fat... these solve that problem. If you've never tried country style ribs, you must! I know I'm posting late. The days I work I will be posting in the evening rather than the morning. I will also apologize in advance for not leaving comments on your posts. I'm running short of time, but I will get to them all on my days off.HEIDI'S BONELESS COUNTRY STYLE RIBS

Hope the next day at work goes better. Get a little ipod shuffle and listen to some tunes while you work. I think you can even get them used for not very much money. :0)
I second the comment on the ipod. Music is great but I love listening to podcasts. There are some great talk programs out there and you can learn so much while you are working. I love focus on family with Dr. Dobson. It has so many broadcasts that help strengthen the family. Or go to the library and get a book on CD to download. It makes time go by so fast! Have a great week.
5 am has to be rough. Keep up the good work! Any interesting words scratched into the stalls you were painting?
I'm in the same boat lately. I haven't gotten a chance to comment on my fave blogs. I'm still reading, at a glance. Crazy summer!
I love these kinds of ribs too - but hey, I love ALL kinds of ribs! Your rub sounds great!
Five a.m. is hard. You'll get into a routine and it will become easier, perhaps not pleasant, but easier.
Always glad to see you whenever I can!
I hope the rest of your work week is better! Getting up that early is rough!!! Hang in there :)
I love country style ribs. They're so much meatier than the other kinds.
The ribs looks AWESOME!
I hope your job goes really well for you, Heidi.
