Damn it!! Last time I coughed like this, I had walking pneumonia. I'm popping antibiotics. This pisses me off. I'll be fine by tomorrow, though.
Little Big Man is on. It's a pretty good movie. Long...but good in most parts. I have a few things to catch up on. I don't have much of a headache right now, so I'll take advantage of it.
It was practically nothing today. I didn't even clock in. Raven was here and took care of everything that was necessary. It's busy tomorrow but will go quickly...I hope. The weather is beautiful. Kind of windy, but warm. It's supposed to be this way until........TUESDAY! Then, the arctic front comes in. After all, it's still only January! It's winter!!
I spoke too soon. Headache returns. I think I will eat some soup and lay down. Coughing continues...Later!!

Trying week
Lots going on in my life. Went to DR with Husband today. He will be going to Big Spring VA in the next 10 days (so says DR) for x-rays, MRI and various other tests on his back and legs. He has had shots in the past to relieve pain. A few years ago, it was determined he had no 'stuff' between the lower vertebrae (L2, L3, L4 & L5) in his back, hence, the shots. He was told then that the likelihood of surgery down the road was a given. The 'given' day may be at hand. Today, DR said condition was, in his opinion, Lumbar Disintegration and Peripheral Neuropathy. Which he explained was the deterioration of the disk cushion between the vertebrae which caused compression of the nerves in the lower spine. There is most likely other underlying nerve damage contributing to this condition.
Anyway, we will know more after tests. At first, DR wanted Husband to be in Big Spring on Monday, but then suggested he would schedule all tests for the same time, smart move, so we wouldn't have to make two or more trips. It will take another week, but it's already been this long. It's a 4+ hour trip to Big Spring from Alpine, one way. It's worth the wait.
It's dead at work. Owners have changed their mind on closing for a period of time. At least that was the word on the street today...There is a little business this weekend, but who knows. Things will pick up. Makes my job a lot easier!
I am not feeling great tonight. I haven't been for a few days. Which is another reason I'm glad there isn't much going on around here. I sort of feel like I have the flu. I'm going to sleep in a minute. I need some Tylenol and I'll be all set. See you tomorrow.

BBQ day
Husband cooked brisket and chicken today for the 'rock hunters'. Everyone seemed to have a full stomach when they left...and lots of compliments. Husband definitely knows how to cook brisket. He be the champ. I think there were 32 people who ate and there were practically no leftovers. That's always good. I made brownies. They were nutritious and delicious. Well...maybe not so much nutritious. Maybe next time I'll put nuts in them. Protein. It's a good thing.
Back to work today. I hated it. More of the same tomorrow. I'll hate it.
When I woke up this morning (always a good thing) I forgot where I was...or what state or time zone I was in. Then I snapped. Shit...I'm back in Alpine. I seriously didn't want to get up.
I have to buck up and get busy this week. I have lots to do. It may take a couple of days to get me started but I have a plan....and a list!
Before I forget, I have to post a photo of Husband and his
cousin, The Donz, who I lovingly refer to as Dr. Livingston.
I had sent this to Mumsy earlier and she was unable to see
it...so here it is...for ever...in cyberspace. What a Motley Crew (not to be confused with the real Motley Crue...). What?? You're right...ain't gonna happen.
I say this with love.
I think I'm needing some hot tea and Tylenol. Very long day. See you tomorrow...

I'm baaaaaccckkk!!
Yeah, yeah....I know you're thrilled. It was so nice to get away. It was so nice to come home. I rested, laughed, played, conducted business, got irritated, got over it, and rested some more.
I am glad to be back, though. I just don't want to go to work tomorrow. We all knew that was going to happen! But we have other issues to address first. Husband is doing a BBQ for the 'rock hunters' here at the Lodge tomorrow. It was a last minute thing. I told him it was up to him, but he was OK with it. I expect there will be 40+ people. We found about it on Wednesday so Husband called the head butcher at the grocery store meat dept. here in Alpine, first, to make sure they had what he needed and they did...so that's when he said OK. He'll cheat and use canned beans and dress up the potato salad...but hey! We're tired! His cooking partners in crime will be here to help him so all will work out.
We flew into Midland last night and stayed at the Best Western. It's a very nice hotel and the one Husband stays at when he goes to Albuquerque VA. They have breakfast, which is good. It was relaxing and I could have slept until noon. Unfortunately, the alarm clock went off at 5:10 AM. Husband smacked it a few times and thought it was off.
Must have hit the snooze button.
It went off again. Husband repeated the process. Smacked it till the noise stopped, again. Guess what? Yep.
The third time, Husband got up and pulled it out of the wall socket. It stopped. Husband was awake. It is now 5:30 AM.
Husband says, "Are you awake?"
"Yes." He knows I am because he heard me say F**KING CLOCK!!!
"Why don't we just get up and get something to eat and get on the road," he sighs. "That way we can go to Wal-Mart and head home." (It's a 24 hour Wal-Mart. I'm sure you figured that out.)
"Fine," I whine.
So we did. Normally I would have been thrilled to go to Wal-Mart. However, there's something about going at 6:00 AM that takes all the fun out of it. At least it's not crowded.
We got fuel and back to Alpine we came. We stopped and picked up all the stuff for the BBQ and came home and took a nap. Now I am watching Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. I'm thinking I need some cereal.
Now I remember why we moved to Texas. It is f**king cold in Wyoming. I stayed inside. It was cold in Las Vegas. I stayed inside. It was f**king cold in Midland this morning. I had to go outside. Dread and despair. It's sunny out right now...but the high tomorrow is supposed to be 42. Shit.
Hmmmm....Law & Order: Criminal Intent is coming on. Oh-oh. Somebody's fixin' to die! It ain't gonna be good! Lots and lots of blood. It's either this or Jason and the Argonauts. Hold on a second....Hoarders in on!! I always feel so neat and clean after I see any of those houses. You can't even call them homes. This one is a corker. It's a mother's house...and her son's house as well! And dogs to boot.
I think I'll eat some cereal and might be back later. Low BS. See ya!

Big Hand Roy
As you all know...I live an interesting life. After all...I live with Husband. BFFMS was here today when I got the latest call...from Husband. He was in search of medication, be it steroids or a saline solution...for Big Hand Roy aka BHR. Dr. Husband said BHR had...a big hand! He said, and I quote....and please say this out loud with a Texas accent...."SHIT! Ole Roy's hand is three times as big as mine!!"
"Well, what happened to him?" Seems like a reasonable question.
"Hell...I don't know. He said it happened before".
"Maybe he should go to the doctor(?)". Seems like a reasonable statement.
"That's what I told him, but he said it costs a thousand dollars."
Let's see...how much is the human hand actually worth...if you need it, I mean.
"Well...I don't know what to tell you...we don't have any steroids or saline solution. I guess Roy is on his own. What did he do the last time this happened?"
"I don't know," says husband. Evidently his hand didn't fall off.
That's the story of Big Hand Roy. Stay tuned for new developments.
Husband has this habit of calling me with interesting questions. This is how our conversations go.
"Remember when we watched that movie last week, the western, and that girl was in it with the red hair? What was her name??"
Hmmmmmm. "Lucille Ball?" I answer.
"NO...the western...with the red haired girl...you remember!!"
Well evidently I don't. "Can you narrow that down just a little?"
"She was riding that dun mare. Remember??"
"What color is dun?" Seems like a reasonable question.
"Jesus Christ...well if you think of what her name is...call me back."
"OK." Like that's gonna happen.
Here's another one...
"Remember when we went to Laredo and we ate Mexican food at that restaurant with Jim and all those people had to get up and move so we could all sit down at the same table and eat because there were so many of us and Jim wanted all of us to sit together and enjoy our meal?"
"Yes."
"What was the milage on the car?"
I'm kidding!!! But I had you going didn't I!! But believe me...he's called with some doozies.
We leave tomorrow. Thank God. I'm certifiably homicidal. My stress level is in the danger zone.
Tom would like to go. He loves to travel. He loves cases and boxes, too. If a package comes in...he jumps in the box. It doesn't matter how big or small, he tries to fit his fat ass in it.
I thanked him for adding a pound of cat hair in the bag for me.
BFFMS is his caretaker while we are gone. More than likely they will watch movies and relax. Tom no doubt thinks it's party time, but MS will straighten his little kitty ass out. She's a toughie, that one!!
The Goonies is on. That's a cute movie. I have a few things to do but I was in the mood to write. Be back later.

It smells good in here
Husband is frying some french fries for a sandwich. Don't ask. And no, he's not supposed to eat them. He's a grown man. Eat up. They sure smell good. I think he may have slipped an onion in there. Now I'm hungry. I wasn't a few minutes ago. Damn him!!
I am very tired tonight. It was busy and a long day. I wasn't expecting it. I think...but that's like assume around here...it may be a light day tomorrow. I hope so. I wanted to quit today. Perhaps sometimes I am a bit testy...(huge surprise) and today I was pushed to my limit. I seriously hate to be insulted. I was insulted today. It hit me the wrong way and normally I would have gone at it with both barrels, but I checked my temper today. I will be gone for a few days and I hope to come back with a better attitude. I'm not planning on it...but I'll think about it.
I think I may have had a touch of a flu...or a virus. I feel better today, other than being tired. But there's a reason for that. I even thought it was my medication. Could still be. I need a vacation.
We watched a movie called Valentine's Day tonight. It was pretty cute. It was on HBO. At least there was finally a movie on that channel. They always have a 'new' movie on Saturday nights, but otherwise...it's crap. Sports, mini series stuff, Bill Mahr, stuff that I just can't get in to.
I need to have a cup of tea. Maybe it will cut the desire for the french fries. Since there aren't any left, I'm screwed anyway...but that doesn't mean I don't want them!
Oh! I got the book of 'itty bitty baby hats'. Did I tell you this already? I have to finish my jewelry order before I get started on hats...but I'm excited about making some.
I need to eat some cottage cheese. My blood sugar is 77. And then I am going to sleep. It's only 10:30, but I is tired! Have a nice evening.........

Dang it! My head aches...
I think I may have caught something. And not in a good way. I am home...drinking hot tea, eating crackers and bitching. And medicating myself. And bitching. Dammit!
I feel lethargic. Seriously. Tomorrow I will be well. Get this...I have a pain behind my left ear. A major freakin' pain. Right on, and behind my actual ear thing. If I push on it, it doesn't hurt as much. I have my finger on it as we speak. Go figure.
I have felt pretty good for quite a while now so this is pissing me off.
American Eats is on the History Channel. This program is all about hot dogs. The previous one was about canned food. I like shows like this. And I don't care what hot dogs are made out of...I love them.
Watching this show is good. I can lay down. Which is what I think I will do for a while. Have a nice evening...

Taking a little break
Semi busy at work today. Hurried through. I was by myself again which is fine and will be again tomorrow. Saturday is a different story. Raven will be here (I hope) and it's busy.
I came home to do work and have quite a bit done. Right now I am nursing a head and neck ache, so I'll take a break for a while. It's a side effect from intense beading. It, too, shall pass!
There is a strange movie on right now. It's an oldie and I started watching in the middle of it, so I have no clue what it's about. Let's see...a younger girl being lavished with gifts by an older gentleman...she thinks it a prelude to marriage...he thinks NOT! I think I should change it. Wait...maybe not....he just said he is going to marry her...I just looked it up. It's called Playgirl with Kay Francis. She's an older gold digger teaching a protege her trade.....curious. Boring.
I think I'd rather watch Ugly Betty.
I think I need food. Have a nice night. I need to do nothing for a while. Bye!

B'iness is good
I am a woman on a mission. I have a jewelry order. A really good one. I'll post photos as I progress. I have an angel in my life that made it happen. As Charlie always said...Thank you angel. (Thank you Charlie...) OMG!!! Until I just saw that in print...you have no idea how funny it is. I know who does. Way too eerie....
I have been sorting beads by color. I have a lot of beads. That's a good thing. I placed a large order today for sterling & gold stuff...ear wires, chains, lobster claw clasps...a bunch 'o stuff. This book reading thing may be on hold. I need to complete as much jewelry as I can by Monday...so I can mail it when when we leave. Busy busy!!
It sure is nice outside right now. It was cold again, but I am not complaining. I watched the Weather Channel about New England. 'Nough said.
I finally got my medication from WalMart Prescription delivery. Just in the nick of time, too. And I am set for 3 months. With 3 refills. Excellent.
I'm hungry. I still like the pancake idea for supper, but I am hungry now. I just don't know what I want. A banana split sounds good. I think I have a banana. Scratch the split.
Well...I am off to bead. Might be back...might not. Have a nice day!

Walking in a winter wonderland
It was a frosty morn...frigid frosty. But it sure was pretty. The sky is crystal clear tonight so tomorrow AM will be cold again. It looks like my family will be getting dumped on by snow again in the next 48 hours. Please stay warm!!
I have taken a couple of photos of my earrings. Actually, I took about 40 but these are the best ones. I listed them on eBay. I have a new challenge though and I should get confirmation in the morning. It could be amazing. I'll let you know... Damn I wish I knew how to line these pictures up! I keep adding them, but then when I try to move them around...I manage to delete them. I give up. Here they are.
We didn't go to Odessa today due to the weather. It just seemed too treacherous. Drivers around here don't do well on ice. But in Odessa...there are many, many more drivers who are not the most cautious so it seemed smarter to stay home. It wasn't an urgent trip anyway.
We are leaving on Monday for what I will call a business trip. It's too complicated to explain but it's necessary. I am ready to go. In more ways than one. I am already packed. And I need some time away from here. I have been working by myself for the past few days. Even though it's not been busy, I still have to get up and do a few things. So leaving for a few days won't bother me a bit. Maybe we'll have a heat wave next week to make it more pleasant! Yeah, right.
I finally started reading that Finger Lickin' Fifteen book...but guess what. The title is really Sizzlin' Sixteen. Brain fart. But at least I knew it was Janet Evanovich!!
Husband made pea soup with wild rice in it for supper with cornbread. It is/was delicious. I was starving and ate it all. A perfect day for soup. I have a hankering for pancakes. Blueberry pancakes. Doesn't that sound good?? I have pancake mix that I can eat and sugar free syrup. Maybe tomorrow night. Yes...I think so.
I made a few necklaces tonight. Nothing dramatic.
I think I should go read whatever the hell book I'm reading. It's kind of late and it will no doubt put me to sleep, but that's OK. I need a cup of hot tea and my day will be complete. Have a nice day tomorrow!

The cold is a comin'
All day long there has been coverage of the storms in the south and it's progress up the east coast. Glad I'm not there. (Sorry family!) It's going to be cold tonight and colder tomorrow and the next day...At least the wind has stopped blowing. Actually, it was quite warm today. Sweatshirt weather.
I am so busy. I am such a liar. I had grandiose plans to do things today...didn't get a damn thing done. Don't care. It's still early enough to do lots of stuff...but I guarantee I'm doing nothing tonight. And it was a breeze at work. I didn't wear myself out. And nothing tomorrow. We may have to go to Odessa. I won't know until tomorrow, though.
I tried taking some photos of my earrings yesterday. I am 'picture taking impaired'. I thought maybe it was an isolated incident as I had tried before. You know...like a bad day thing. Nope. I suck at taking photos.
I got a new address book thing in the mail today. I have a Daytimer that I have had for over 15 years...and it looks like it. It's tapestry on the outside, leather accents, snap closure...that's what it used to look like anyway. The tapestry is still there...the leather is cracked and 'secured' to the cover with clear mailing tape...and the snap closure is long gone. But I just can't throw it out. The one I just got is half it's size but perfect for a purse. Plus it was 1/4 of the price of a real Daytimer. I just needed a smaller book and I'm happy with this. I'll probably fill in the blanks in it tonight. Addresses and such. Maybe.
My printer is not printing correctly. I think I have a bad ink cartridge. I have done all I was supposed to do...including installing the 'newest updated version' of whatever they are talking about...I'll try it later. And I'm sure it's an ink type issue because it won't print correctly on business card stock or photo paper. Brown is orange. Ugly orange. I have aligned the cartridges, cleaned the heads, held it upside down and kissed it on the mouth...so I hope it works. I'll order new ink anyway. I really like the printer. It's one of those Kodak AIO Photo Printers.
Tom just climbed up here to sit with me and Husband. He supports the family unit. What a good cat. We are watching JAG. Tom likes JAG. Tom wants ice cream. I brought an ice cream sandwich over for Husband. I am being very good tonight. I will eat cottage cheese. Tom and Husband are enjoying their ice cream sandwich. They both suck.
I think I'll read for a while. I don't need to finish that book I got from Gail. I need to start it! I'll see you tomorrow....

I am so busy. I am such a liar. I had grandiose plans to do things today...didn't get a damn thing done. Don't care. It's still early enough to do lots of stuff...but I guarantee I'm doing nothing tonight. And it was a breeze at work. I didn't wear myself out. And nothing tomorrow. We may have to go to Odessa. I won't know until tomorrow, though.
I tried taking some photos of my earrings yesterday. I am 'picture taking impaired'. I thought maybe it was an isolated incident as I had tried before. You know...like a bad day thing. Nope. I suck at taking photos.
I got a new address book thing in the mail today. I have a Daytimer that I have had for over 15 years...and it looks like it. It's tapestry on the outside, leather accents, snap closure...that's what it used to look like anyway. The tapestry is still there...the leather is cracked and 'secured' to the cover with clear mailing tape...and the snap closure is long gone. But I just can't throw it out. The one I just got is half it's size but perfect for a purse. Plus it was 1/4 of the price of a real Daytimer. I just needed a smaller book and I'm happy with this. I'll probably fill in the blanks in it tonight. Addresses and such. Maybe.
My printer is not printing correctly. I think I have a bad ink cartridge. I have done all I was supposed to do...including installing the 'newest updated version' of whatever they are talking about...I'll try it later. And I'm sure it's an ink type issue because it won't print correctly on business card stock or photo paper. Brown is orange. Ugly orange. I have aligned the cartridges, cleaned the heads, held it upside down and kissed it on the mouth...so I hope it works. I'll order new ink anyway. I really like the printer. It's one of those Kodak AIO Photo Printers.
Tom just climbed up here to sit with me and Husband. He supports the family unit. What a good cat. We are watching JAG. Tom likes JAG. Tom wants ice cream. I brought an ice cream sandwich over for Husband. I am being very good tonight. I will eat cottage cheese. Tom and Husband are enjoying their ice cream sandwich. They both suck.
I think I'll read for a while. I don't need to finish that book I got from Gail. I need to start it! I'll see you tomorrow....

Thar she blows!!!!
We have more plastic trash bags blowing out here than a landfill! That wind has a mighty nip to it, too. We actually had a bit of rain last night. Husband kept opening the door to look at to make sure he wasn't hallucinating...You couldn't tell it now, though. The rain...not the hallucinations.
It's supposed to be very cold mid-week here. But I don't know about any precipitation. I hope there is some.
I am making some more jewelry. I have no idea when this burst of semi-energy came from, but I'm taking advantage of it while it lasts. I am digging through boxes of stuff and saying...I forgot I had this shit!! Ain't that purdy!!! I be a makein' me sumpin outta this piece here. I really talk like that...all the time!! Honest!
When I left off a day ago I was going to read. Haven't got that far yet. I still have a few days to return the book. We watched 'Steakout' with Emilio Estevez and Richard Dreyfuss last night and I never turned on the computer. Then I went to sleep. Very relaxing evening.
I plan on jewerizing (like that word?) when I get home today and doing the same thing tonight...only read. By same thing I mean nothing.
I think the wind and barometric pressure is giving me a bit of a headache. Maybe I should Tylenolize....there's another one!
I'm am trying to muster up enough energy to get busy, but I thought I catch up on emails and this post and then the rest of the day is gravy.
Some kids next door have a kite in the 40 MPH wind and they have it tied on to the door handle of the truck! Pretty clever!!
Well...I am going to stand up now and do something...have a great day!!

Who is the fastest gun alive?
Glen Ford...that's who. I know that for a fact cuz it's on right now! He's George Kelby, Jr. aka George Temple.
I am taking a break. I made some jewelry today. Necklaces and earrings. Very productive.
The wind blew this afternoon. And blew. And blew! It has let up this evening and the stars are shining.
I ate a piece of pie. You knew I would so don't even look at me like that! It was a small piece...about the width of a fork. Fork tines. Thin fork tines. I waited about a half an hour and took my blood sugar. It was 215. Then - I remembered to take my medicine! A half an hour later it was 105. Not bad...but it sure made me think for a minute!!
Oh oh...its almost time for the big shoot out. Glen Ford just put his gun belt on. His wife is scared. Don't blame her! He's on his way out the door. The whole town is watching. Glen Ford is calling Broderick Crawford (Vinnie Harold) out. It don't look good...Somebody's gonna get their ass kicked...I mean killed. The other bad guy is riding off into the sunset. Broderick Crawford is making promises he can't keep. Now they are both walking towards each other. OK...they are 20 feet apart. Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang!
Silence......
Now the townsfolk are looking at the grave markers. George Kelby, the Fastest Gun Alive, Killed - and Vinnie Harold - the man who was killed by George Kelby....
Update...George Temple is NOT dead!! (Big surprise!) which means...a new life for George and his wife! Happy ending......
Way too much excitement for one night. I need to take a shower and read. I borrowed a book from Gail (she works in the office). It's Janet Evanovich - Finger Lickin' Fifteen. I meant to read this 100 times already, but never got around to it. It's a library book and she needs it back before the 20th...It should only take me a couple of days. I enjoy Evanovich books and they are a quick read.
Not much to say tonight...just the movie review. Gotta rest. See you tomorrow!

Can she make a cherry pie charming Husband??
Why, yes she can! Let's see...how difficult is it. Turn on oven - Open box - Take pie out of box - Put pie in oven - Open oven 75 minutes later (yes!!! I said 75 minutes!!) and take cooked pie out. Let pie cool 5 minutes. Cut piece. Cover it with Cool Whip. Eat it.
I have had this pie for a while. As a matter of fact...it's the pie that I bought from a friend who's son was selling yummy stuff to raise money for his soccer team. Since Husband loves cherry pie it seemed like the perfect choice. It was delivered on the day I found out I had diabetes. How friggin' appropriate! I have offered to cook it for Husband several times...but he always says...no, maybe later. This time...he said yes. It looks really good. He just ate some. It's tempting.
"Be strong!" my inner voice is screaming!!
"Shut the f**k up!" my weakened sugar starved skeletal remains are screaming louder...
We'll see who wins...film at 11.....
A little cooler today and cloudy. It was a nothing day for me. I am making jewelry. I'll make some for the shop in the office and some for me. I'll share. And I changed my mind on the watchband. I got tired of looking for watch faces that I liked and took the band back...but I decided on a watch that was there. It has some turquoise on the sides, but still has the expandable band and a decent watch face. I like it. There is a matching one I could get for Husband but it's $140 and I don't think he would wear it. I got him a Chronograph a couple of years ago for Christmas and he likes it. He isn't into a watch for decoration. I'm not, either, but since I have the barter thing going on...I'm OK with this one. And it's actually signed inside...Mellanie/Zuni. Cool. Sorry...you know I take shitty pictures. Do you like the background? It's called...'used kitchen towel with dish cloth'...very chic!!
We will be out of town for a few days. I am ready to go. We don't leave until Monday the 17th, but I could get in the truck right now. I use a purse once a year and this will be it. I replenished my other Blood Glucose Kit and it's already in there. Now I just need the incidentals. Tissues, gum, pad of paper, book, nothing of any consequence, just stuff. I don't like purses. I hope I don't lose it. I am so not used to carrying anything.
Six Days Seven Nights is on. It's kind of cute. Better than...Beyond the Hunt...or...Are You Sure Hitler is Dead??...or that all time family favorite...Monster Jam...
When I went to work this morning there was a dead sparrow in the driveway. Only one...but he was dead alright. Must have hit a Boeing 727 during the night.
Who ever bought the property next door was in a cherry picker this afternoon putting a flag pole up. And I mean way up...It's 50 feet in the air with an American flag and a Texas flag. It looks very nice. When I see them, I'll say thanks.
I think I go back to creating for a while. I'm in the mood.....Have a nice evening!

T'was a mediocre day...
I am clean and relaxed. Husband made me a nice supper and I am sufficiently full.
I want a watch. Let me clarify...I want a watch that runs. I have a couple of watches...but they have expired. A battery, you say?? Simple enough solution.
Here's what I have so far...and this, I fear, will be temporary.
I swapped some hats for a watchband. An expandable band with silver ends that have an Indian design cut in...but no watch face. I thought it would be easy finding a watch face. It is. There are plenty of them to choose from...but I am just picky. I want a simple silver piece that has to be about 1/2 inch wide to attach. There are tons of inch wide and megas of beadable with 2,3 & 4 loops to bead to...but nothing I like....yet. I'll find one or I'll find something other than the watch band to swap for. I want something plain and not large and turquoise-y or inlaid. I got to thinking it might be easier to find an inexpensive watch online. It is. Now...do I really want one?
I got several things crossed of the list(s) today. Ah...the sweet smell of success! It was a little windy this afternoon...but still a nice day. The dude on the radio at noon today said we were in for a drastic change in the weather next week. I looked on line and it shows the highs being in the 30's on Monday and Tuesday. Might be nice. I still hope it rains this weekend.
I think I need to take some iron. Maybe that's why I am tired. Granted, I work sort of hard, but I shouldn't feel this tired. I have a new bottle and I think they will be added to my daily pill intake. Maybe I should eat liver. I like liver. But I do not like fava beans. Or Chianti. I like Sangria. It's red.
Feet still feel good. What a difference. Why did I wait so long??
Husband is watching Robin Hood. Again. I hope something else is on TV after this. I spoke too soon. He just shut it off (Yippee!)Husband is taking a nap...Let's see....Witches of Eastwick? Deliverance!? Border Wars?? Snapped!! That's it!! I'll pick up a few pointers...
Nice and Easy Brown. Simple. I like it. Haven't done it yet...but I like it.
I am going to watch TV for a while. It's too early to go to sleep...but who knows? Night!

Grapefruit - the King of citrus!!
I like grapefruit. I hate peeling it and sectioning it....but I like to eat it. Life is full of concessions.
I found a jacket today. Not a blazer...but it is nice. It was old lady day at Bealls and I walked in, found it immediately and walked out. Case closed. Less than ten dolla'...Then, I looked on eBay (just cuz) and there...on the first page I looked at...was a brown tweed blazer for $3. And no...I did not buy it. Thought about it, but restrained myself.
It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood today. It's supposed to rain on Saturday. I'll have to see it to believe it...but it's predicted. At least it's not raining red winged blackbirds! Isn't that amazing!! Almost as freaky as 'cats and dogs' but I think getting whacked in the head with a dead bird might be an experience I could live without....forever! I had a seagull shit on my head once...that's an adventure...
Update....day 'something' with the insole-serts - excellent! Brilliant recommendation, Dr. Livingston. Gracias!
I spent a little time looking at beads in the office today. There are some nice ones. I wish I had more time to do things. That's a lie. I could make time to do things...I procrastinate. I choose to disorganize my time. I actually worked on some stuff today. I have been putting some necklace designs together...for me. Not me as in me wear them...as in me make them and maybe me sell them...that kind of me. But I was in a' looking at beads' mood today. I had a 1/4 cup of creative juice flowing.
I was planning on looking at yarn for baby hats tonight as I thought the new 'baby hat book' would be here by today...but it is delayed a few days. Darn the luck! And I don't want to order anything until I can see the patterns. I know I'd be safe with any skein of baby soft yarn...but I'm a visual person. Oh, I know what a pumpkin color is...and a daisy would be white...but I'm sure a quantity order would be required so I'll wait.
The Christmas tree is securely packed away in the box it came it. And out of the direct sunlight. And I took the lights down. I thought about leaving them up...but re-thought the thought. The blinking was making me hallucinate. I have enough problems.
Tom is bitching. And he's wet. He just spent 15 minutes sitting in the bathroom sink. I think he hallucinates, too.
I'm going to watch The Guns of Will Sonnet and probably fall asleep. Have a nice evening!

Funny Funny Book
BFFMS sent me a book recommendation. She has exquisite taste. I bought the book. You know I love funny stuff and this book...Simple Times, Crafts for Poor People by Amy Sedaris...is beyond funny...I got it today in the mail and have only glanced through it. I am laughing just looking at the cover! When you go to Amazon and look it up, there is a video clip. Watch it. Seriously funny. Thank you, again, MS!!
Short day, thank God. And short tomorrow, I think. I got some stuff done today. No major crisis going on. But I'm not letting my guard down.
Why don't they make plain brown or black blazer jackets for women anymore? I just can't find one. That I like. I want a simple style, not one with gold stitching - huge pockets - bell sleeves - Japanese cut - none of that shit - just a jacket. I'll keep looking. Oh...and it should be dirt cheap. I'll know it when I see it.
I'm watching a movie about counting cards in Vegas. I'm looking for a new profession. It's based on a true story...so I am not writing much. Just wanted to touch base. Have a nice night!!

Why does my older cat pul his hair out?
A very serious questions that has plagued our family for a while now. Guess what eHow says?
'Cats will pull their fur out for many different reasons, ranging from parasite infection to mental disorders!'
That, my friends...is it!!! The answer we have been waiting for...not happy about it...but mystery solved. There will be no cat shrink. No kitty Zanax. If anything, I'll shave the cat. Problem solved!
Long day..tired legs and back. Feet? Doing OK!
Husband made marinara and tortellini for me for supper tonight. It was wonderful. I love marinara sauce. I could eat it by the bowl - dunking bread chunks in it! I am nice and full.
I will have a cup of Chamomille tea and lay down in a few minutes. I had already typed this blog out a while ago and lost Internet connection...and 10 paragraphs of writing! And you know how that pisses me off! Otherwise I'd have more here, obviously. The only 'draft' saved was for the first two paragraphs...go figure.
I'm trying to remember what I had already said. Oh....someone left a Pashmina scarf in the laundry room a few weeks ago. No one claimed it...so I did! I should get a blazer to wear it with...with jeans. I might look like a girl!
I need some Nice and Easy. Got a hair problem going on. I have multicolored hair with variegated roots. Not a great combination. Not like I'm 'good hair' oriented....
There was ice in the fountain this morning and you could see the goldfish swimming around under it....It was kind of cool (ha ha) looking! It's OK and so are they...it was thawed by noon.
Tom is driving me nuts. He thinks it's time for him to eat. I don't. I think he's going to win. He's irritating.......
I need to check my blood sugar and take a shower and read a few pages. I should be done with this book in 2 weeks at the rate I'm going. But it's OK...I've already been reading it for a couple of months.
Have a good one.....

It's a Long Way to Tipperary
I have no idea where that came from...those words just popped into my head today. No clue.
We are watching Dallas. It's been on alllllll day and will be on till 1:00 AM. I've been able to watch only a couple of episodes because I was working alllllll day! I was so hoping this was Sunday so I don't have a repeat performance of today...tomorrow! But that ain't happening. It's worse tomorrow. I am concerned about what might happen here. I have said that before...but there was an uncomfortable sit-che-a-shun today and I think there may be a coup. I need to go out of town. Soon.
Did you eat black eyed peas today? I did. I'm slap full of good luck. We even had some Chinese food for lunch! Can it get any better than that!!
Oh-oh...Jock is having open heart surgery. They are clamping as we speak. And they just whacked him with the paddles! I can't watch!!!
I took that necklace apart and restrung it. I like it better now. I got some other beads...sort of a coral swirly color. I like them.
Holy Shit!! Jock is alive! Bobby is going to continue to work with Ray on the ranch...and JR is in CHARGE of Ewing Oil! Life is good!! For a while..............
My fingers are rough. I feel all reptile-ly. It is so dry this time of year...lotion is a way of life.
It was only 18 degrees this morning! It was beautiful all day, but still cool.
Oh! You probably heard...but (ex) Gov. Richardson did NOT pardon Billy the Kid. I guess it had to do with the fact that Billy shot 2 deputies after he escaped from jail. He had been promised a pardon prior to that and then...bam! Perhaps that was a bad judgement call. Sorry Billy.
Remember when I posted the 'before' photos of one of the rooms we remodeled? Let me see if I can bring several befores' and 'afters' up....
And no...we don't get to go buy what we want for decorations,...we have a room full of stuff and pick from and this was the cream of the crop. I don't have to live in it. We do our best and are proud of our work.
I think it's time to read for a very few minutes. I am so tired. Oh...the 'insert-soles' are great!! I am noticing a big difference in foot pain already! My leg aches and pains are from long hours....I really need some time off...but I am very pleased with the arch supports. Just wanted to let you know...
Have a great evening. Later!!

We are watching Dallas. It's been on alllllll day and will be on till 1:00 AM. I've been able to watch only a couple of episodes because I was working alllllll day! I was so hoping this was Sunday so I don't have a repeat performance of today...tomorrow! But that ain't happening. It's worse tomorrow. I am concerned about what might happen here. I have said that before...but there was an uncomfortable sit-che-a-shun today and I think there may be a coup. I need to go out of town. Soon.
Did you eat black eyed peas today? I did. I'm slap full of good luck. We even had some Chinese food for lunch! Can it get any better than that!!
Oh-oh...Jock is having open heart surgery. They are clamping as we speak. And they just whacked him with the paddles! I can't watch!!!
I took that necklace apart and restrung it. I like it better now. I got some other beads...sort of a coral swirly color. I like them.
Holy Shit!! Jock is alive! Bobby is going to continue to work with Ray on the ranch...and JR is in CHARGE of Ewing Oil! Life is good!! For a while..............
My fingers are rough. I feel all reptile-ly. It is so dry this time of year...lotion is a way of life.
It was only 18 degrees this morning! It was beautiful all day, but still cool.

These are in no particular order as you can see, but you know I have no idea how to put photos on here. I'm lucky I got this far...but I think you can get the gist of it...
