I am clean

Man...that shower felt good!! It was a long and dirty day. Tomorrow will be longer and dirtier. Can't wait!! (can you detect the sarcasm in this font??) I am trying to get the energy to pack a box. It's not coming. I don't physically have that far to go...it's not that...I really need to ...yes...that's the word!! DOWNSIZE!! Fancy name for throw a bunch of shit out!! I'm not in a shit throwing mood. Unusual for me...

I may have just blown up my printer. Not quite sure. It wasn't printing right last night...so I did everything troubleshooting told me to do...didn't work...so, finally,  it states that possibly I need to unplug it from the wall. It wasn't the UN-plugging that caused the problem. It was the loud POP accompanied by the SPARK when I plugged it back in that 'sparks 'my curiosity. I'll wait a half an hour to see if it cures itself!! 

Tom is waiting for yogurt. He's irritating me. He's just staring at me. It appears he doesn't understand that I am not in the mood for yogurt this second. I'm working on it. Then I will find a movie to watch. Husband is watching SHOOTER for the second night in a row. It's not a bad movie...and I like Mark Wahlberg. Husband says it's because nothing else is on. Tonight...I'll be the judge of that. I think a little light hearted humor.

Well...I will go select...SHOOTER dead. Wahlberg lives another day.  Have a great one!!

closer to another busy weekend

Got off work a little earlier today, so I will catch up on a few things. I did laundry, and made the mistake of looking around the property and saw more and more vehicles driving in....yuck! There is a chance of rain tonight. I hope so. Of course we need it...but it would settle the dust as well.

I plan to knit/crochet a couple of hats tonight. I'm definitely not in a jewelry making mood...no creative spirit. The poor teddy bears are still in limbo. I need to sew and don't want to do that either.

I only took a very few photos of the 'trip'...
This is what I saw out the window of the plane looking straight down. Looks hard...doesn't it.             

This is how pretty the plane looks on the ground. I'm sure it would be a hell of a mess when they were trying to recover my body parts.

   
This is my winning ticket from the BIG SPIN!!! (I won $2.00). I am planning on sending it to the IRS. The picture...not the $2.00.

Husband in line for a Nathan's hot dog. As you can see...we only eat gourmet meals!

Bye Bye Las Vegas!











See...I told you I take stupid photos. There's a few more...but they would on here sideways. Oh well.

I have news...we are moving. Nothing to get too excited about. We will still be here...but at the back of the property in a larger room. (Lucky 21) I have an incentive to stay a while longer...but I am still weighing my options. More details to follow....

Well...enough for right now...thanks for looking! Bye!

I'm back ....so what! you say...

In case you haven't noticed...I have been gone. The hell you say. Uh Huh! I say. But I am back. Actually I haven't gone all this time...just not enough energy to write anything. We went to Salt Lake VA...and then on to Vegas and now...back in Alpine. It was fun. I slept a lot and I really needed it. I am definitely glad I went...and if you can believe it...I missed this place. Well...I missed my friends. Husband went to hospital (damn! Salt Lake City was cold!!) and then shot in a pistol match in Las Vegas. I gambled and won and lost and won and lost...you get the picture. Good thing was...I came home with money. ALWAYS a good thing! But mostly I slept and moaned and groaned. The bed was made of concrete. The linens were crap but the towels were really nice! I soaked in the bathtub till I looked like a Craisin. And I smelled good. 

When we got home, Husband had planned this Mexican dinner/supper. Let's see... We made (bought) home made tamales (mmmmmmm). Made green chicken enchiladas out of real green chickens. Cheese enchiladas...ummmm...beans and rice....pico de gallo...guacamole...beer...I think that's it. Oh...spanish rice. Nothing was left except apporximately one cup of rice which I ate. Oh yeah...I said rice already..sorry. It was all very good, so I was told.

Now it's time to plan Thanksgiving dinner. As long as I have a pumpkin pie left over for breakfast...I'll be happy. Why don't I make pumpkin pie in August?? Answer me that. 

Houskeeping has a plan for Thanksgiving. We are going to knock on the door and say...Happy Thanksgiving...do you need towels or not? Thank you. Have a nice day.

Now I have to get back in the craft making thing. I mean seriously. The craft show is December 4th and 5th. I love working under pressure anyway. My road to good intentions is getting longer and steeper!

It was chilly this morning and I liked it. I can guarantee it will be chilly again tomorrow. (25 at 9:00 am today) No wind...no rain...so it feels good..and warmed up nicely. I have no idea what the forecast for next week is...not that I have any control. I hope it's nice on Thanksgiving day. A couple of years ago it snowed several inches and was BEAUTIFUL!!

Ouch ouch!! I have carpal top of the hand syndrom!! No I don't...I'm just not used to writing this much!! Ouch!! Pain.

Well...it's shower time. Husband is watching WWII on the history channel...so I have time for a 25 minute shower before some critical hunting show comes on. I have a new Woman's Day magazine with cookie recipes...I'll entertain myself. Have a nice nite!!
