TGIF!

[Lynx]

In the words of my mother's presbyterian pastor, "And let all the people say... amen."

[Roscoe]

Bah. it's my Saturday, which means that y'all are rejoicing about the coming weekend, while my weekend is sailing by at warp speed.
I did a little grocery shopping yesterday, and stumbled by the local dodge dealership on a whim. I should not have done that. I wound up testdriving an absolutely amazing car. A 2010 Dodge Challenger. Hemi,6 speed manual transmission and exhaust pipes that would make the Angel Gabriel jealous. Only two draw backs. The price, although good for that car,  is higher than I need to spend, even though I could definitely use a better car. And as mini pointed out, ya'll would hound me constantly. The car is a limited edition color called "Fusion" with Black leather interior that has contrasting "Fusion" colored baseball stitching thread.
Fusion is remarkably similar to a color from Chrysler's muscle car heydays of the '70's. The color? Panther Pink.
Yes, the car I am considering is pink. I'd call it Raspberry, more of a purplish-pink, but the fact remains- it is pink. And If I buy it, I shall drive it proudly, and shall buy a shirt that says "Real men drive pink cars." And for anyone that doubts my masculinity, I'll take them for a brief ride through the first four gears with those pipes bellowing. They'll change their mind...
Probably the first car I've ever driven that would cause me trouble deciding whether to buy it or another Corvette...

Yes I'm rejoicing its Friday. And I'm spending the night in. In my pjs, with comfort food, music, and a plethora of other things. I'm acting my age! ha

So my Pastors always so very anti-social media. And now that he's the President of Texas Bible College, it's so weird to see his face, and videos of him all over social media. lol

Real WOMEN  drive pink cars. I'm sure you meant to say that.

I love un busy Saturdays

[SippinTea]

On the heels of that... LOL!

Would someone PLEASE tell me today is almost over?!? It IS close to bedtime isn't it?!? Between a certain teen boy and one very lively and demanding toddler, I'm about ready to start screeching like a wild banshee today. 

[Heather]

*puts in earbuds* go right ahead Ruby. I completely understand.

Went to stay at my parents last night. Was told how much of a waste my life has been and how wonderful my sister is.

It's 8 pm and I'm ready for bed.....

[MsJennJenn]

I've had a day of nothing too. I got out this morning for Praise singers practice. But then I came back home around 1, and I've been in my pjs ever since. Glorious day, full of relaxation, rain, food (ok too much), and mostly quiet (neighbors are insane per usual).

Ruby darlin' I do commend thee for motherhood. You're great at it, despite days like today. Hope at some point you got some peace and quiet, and had a cuppa tea.

[Roscoe]

Peaceful, quiet day here. Drove Rusty to town, did a little grocery shopping, then came home and made Lou some bread- she likes to take a piece of my homemade bread and lay a slice of ham on it for breakfast, and she was out. Then I played in the ham room for a bit, talking to South Africa and a couple other exotic places I shall never see. Now, after a hot bath, I am chillin'. It's good to be king.

[SippinTea]

Roscoe, that's two times too many that you talked about ham in one post. Now I'm hungry.

Heather, I'm sorry. It is SO not helpful to hear how wonderful someone else is. Especially on the heels of criticism.  I'm sending you a big hug.

Jenn m'dear.... great at motherhood I am not. Once upon a time I thought I would be/could be. But by now I am quite convinced I am terrible at it. Peace and quiet and cups of tea have not been seen around here today, however......... BELLA IS ASLEEP NOW!! I'm thinking tea is a MARVELOUS idea just now. 

*goes to put the kettle on*

Anyone wanting to just be quiet, and not talk, and drink a cup of tea, is welcome to join me. 

[SippinTea]

Amendment: I did not have to go put the kettle on. Jason did it for me. Err, MY Jason, not Taco. LOL

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Glad you finally got some peace.

In bed with with respiratory crud and ear infection from where the injection from pain management punctured a pocket of infection. Still can't figure  out how he did that while working with live x-ray. I feel like my lungs are full of  water and walking  across the floor feels like the moving floor  in a fun house.

[Lynx]

Hmm... I was cleaning out some boxes and I found a pack of glue strips.  When did I ever buy glue strips?  Then I remembered some wall hangers... Taco are you missing some glue strips?


In other news, yesterday was a maaaahvelous day.  I tooled around Jackson in a leisurely fashion, stopped at Goodwill and got some used christian CDs I have no idea if I'll like, stopped at the Wal-Mart there and got six 8-packs of wilkinson sword (tm) three-blade razor blades (almost a year of shaving for about $40!) stopped at a sushi place I've never been to and got lunch... er, supper... lupper, stopped at Aldi and reloaded on chocolate.

The wasabi and ginger from lupper I saved.  This morning I made a sandwich with black forest ham, mayo, wasabi and ginger on whole wheat.  A very good way to start out my Sunday.  And on a related note, my sinuses are clear and open.  Strong stuff, that wasabi.

[Heather]

We just had an Aldi open in JC and in Kingsport. I haven't been to either because they've been so crowded. Also with meal plan I have little to no use for groceries.

Our wedding invitations came yesterday after I had left my parents. We have decided to have a small ceremony. My uncle's church has finally given us the go ahead asking simply to clean up and make a donation. [both of which we said we would graciously due prior to this waiting period].

I'm up and doing homework. I'm having to readjust to church time being at 2 in the afternoon. I have made the decision to officially change churches. It was hard. I cried a lot. But there is no hope for me to really move on and grow going to church with my ex and his family. That church will also be a piece of home. My first apostolic church, where I was baptized in both water and the Holy Ghost, and Sis K will always be a momma to me. However after much prayer, thought, and council from trusted people [both in church and out and from both churches] it's time for me to start a new chapter. If you think of it, keep me in your prayers through this transition. 

[taco_harvell]

I could be missing glue strips, but right now I can't remember. Nyquil haze on top of this headacche is an adventure.

We're getting an Aldi soon! I like them so much better than Sav-a-lot! Sav-a-lot here is always grungy and makes you feel like you need a shower after leaving. We don't go there much.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

It's been raining here but has stopped now. Might go to wal mart later when it should be dead with folks watching that stupid ball game.

[Roscoe]

 Lou just called. I won't be going to church tonight. Chey is running a fever (low). Last time she was sick on church night, Lou stayed with her, so it's my turn. Hope she gets better before tomorrow, otherwise I don't know what we will do, or which of us will stay with home.

[sunlight]

Robbie may be looking for a used zero turn for me!

[Roscoe]

Robbie may be looking for a used zero turn for me!

Whatever you do, don't try to learn to use it near a hill or a ditch. I've nearly killed myself several times by going over the edge of the deep ditch at the church.

[taco_harvell]

I spent another day in bed sick. This infection must go! Worked on some youth stuff. Almost to the point of frustration of handing it over to the parents who aren't backing the youth department.

[Lynx]

A zero turn for Chel? Well it figures she would mow the yard... She muscled me out of washing dishes in my own kitchen.                           stubborn little...

I rejoice with all who are getting Aldi in their vicinity.  But that name should never be mentioned in the same post as that other store taco was talking about. >.>  That other store is a low cost, low quality, low maintenance place.  Aldi is a low cost, good quality, clean store.  And Aldi has havarti cheese.  And Moser Roth chocolate.

Actually, talking about that-other-store, while I was visiting mom one time I went down there to get some colby cheese for something I was cooking.  That stuff didn't melt like real cheese... it melted into an almost chalky goop.  Before melting it tasted almost normal, but it wasn't real cheese. 

[MsJennJenn]

What's a zero turn?
