Apparently, while testing out this thing, I inadvertently destroyed the two pages of Taco's whine. Which is sad, since it had the Cheesemeister's brief appearance. Mea Culpa. Post away....

I quit. I'm locking myself in the house and eating chocolate the rest of the day. :pound:

It started by me getting up to go haul the trailer load of trash to the dump- only to find they are closed today. What idiot closes a dump on the one day most folks have off of work?!?! My county apparently. :mad:
 Then I go by Walmart, and buy a spray wand for my powerwasher so I can wash the dirt dobber condos off the eaves- only to leave it in the buggy. I drove 12 miles back to discover it wasn't there either, so I spent ANOTHER $20 of my roofing material refund money I'd stashed back for another. Got home- surprise, it doesn't fit. :pound: Then, I get all of this typed and suddenly the screen goes blank and I have to retype it. ARRRRGH!!!!

Melody, I think of you every single time I make this forgotten chicken. It's delicious.. I used jambalaya rice this time, so it's a bit spicier than normal, but yum!!

Monday came with a roar and a splash of rain. I'm hoping the sun can visit us again soon here..

Working on decluttering our home so that if we can sell our house, we can move into something else or move somewhere else reasonably soon, haha.

Dad's bloodwork came back good enough to do chemo. Next week we will find out if I have to donate. I may anyway just because my blood is so valuable  :cool:

My boss leaves today for another 2 weeks gone. She got huffy with me on Sunday when I told her I want 4 days off between her returning and a huge, upcoming festival mid-September. She is constantly in and out the door but how dare 1 of her 3 workers request some down time....and she wonders why she has high turnover....

Hopefully she reconsiders her attitude, Heather, and realizes how valuable you are!



The sun DID peek out again yesterday on my way home from work. I'm eating the 2nd to last portion remaining of my forgotten chicken. I'm ready for something new to eat tho.. maybe bbq. I can't escape that craving of deliciousness.

Well. Went out to go to lunch and the battery was dead on the truck. Fortunately it is a state ride. I nearly messed myself when I went to the local co=op and had them bring a battery over. They charged the state $150 for the battery and $40 to bring it 5 blocks and install it.
 Ridiculous. If I'd know they were gonna charge that I'd have went to Walmart, bought a set of jumper cables and drove it the five blocks. Ridiculous. I think I'll be taking the state's business elsewhere. It may be state money but that's no reason to waste it.
 And Mini is terrible. Having told me that he is intent on causing me to buy a jeep, upon hearing about my phone misfortune, he is trying to shove me off of the ledge to get a high end phone- a Galaxy S8....

 And the day gets even better. Apparently my niece that my wife was watching the last two days broke the neighbor's $200+ hot tub cover. Yep- out of our cruise money to pay for that. Makes me so pig biting mad I could choke the brat.

So ready for this day to be over.  :mad:

Been awake since about 5:45 airplanes woke me up. They're still going.  :frustrated:

Stomach was upset from 6-7.

Lawn service went from 8-9.

Head achessss.

New promotion came with a nice set of 10 training modules that in no way whatsoever apply to my job at all. From 9am - 12pm I did 3. I still haven't passed the assessment for #3. I gave up, slammed my computer shut and gave up.

Head still aches.

It's my lucky teams turn to clean the church tonight...... :noo:

Still haven't done the homework from Sunday night....

I just wanna go back to bed...but that would probably make my head ache more.....and my hands numb more.

Lose-lose situation all around over here.  :cry2:

Well... Chel is the RN but I would prescribe a large dose of homemade chocolate pudding all around. Seems like a lot of people need it today.

I have nothing to report except I am making pizza eggs for breakfast and my dog has no fleas. I mention the dog because fleas have been rather pernicious around these parts the last couple years.

Roscoe-I have the S7 and I'm a fan. Husband of the S7 Edge and I'm not a fan.

Finally got paychecks. Husband and I went to our favorite Mexican place then drove around drooling at car lots. I love Tiny Car and she will be paid off next month, but after having a few close calls I finally agree with my husband that she may be a bit too tiny. I'm hoping to be able to rent my current dream car in a few weeks when i travel that way I can know if the crush I have on it is worth it.

So far I love the S7. I wanted the S7 Active, but they were out of stock and I needed a phone right then. Looked at the S8, but I wasn't crazy about the screen or the lack of a physical home button and I didn't see another $100- $150 of value in it..
And in regards to the car- consider an SUV. Very much worth it. After going to the Lincoln MKX, we will likely not have another sedan. Even though the MKX is older than the last sedan we have, the comfort, safety and visibility was worth the trade. I've told Lou my plan is to keep this SUV for the next few years, and if it doesn't begin having a ton of issues, it will become Chey's and we will get Lou a newer one in a couple of years.

I had an SUV prior to Tiny Car. However, it was a mess because the prior owners did not keep upkeep on it. Also because it was no longer made and it was a joint design between 2 companies, no one knew how to work on it. [It was a Honda/Isuzu] I'm currently crushing hard on the Jeep Renegade sub compact SUVs. Brandon isn't a huge fan of Jeep but it'll be my car so eh. [He's a Chevy man through and through even though he drives a Subaru right now and is about to get a Ford Ranger  :roll: ]

Post by: Nelle on August 10, 2017, 05:30:42 PM
The Jeep Renegades are pretty cute! I really really wanted a Jeep Grand Cherokee, but realistically, I would get a Cherokee if I could afford it instead. But after renting the Nissan Rogue for our Mount Rushmore trip, we really like that one. It's just big enough without being too big, and a little better on our pocketbook, haha. I'm not sure when we will finally transition to a new car. My poor Elantra is finally showing her age in repairs, but we are blessed in that it hasn't been TOO bad. Jeremy's truck is forever old and was used as a rock climbing toy, so it's definitely needing replaced. The plan is to get a new car for me (since I drive an hour of interstate each day), he will take over the Elantra, and keep the truck for extra. We traded his old jeep for this truck a few years ago with an individual, and we paid my car off in 2015. Sooo thankful. I wish I had put back those payments now, haha.

Thank you for the prayers. :) We have arrived at a decision, but we are going to have to tread carefully. I'm not moving states yet, just possibly moving other things  locally.

Happy Birthday Roscoe! :)

Nelle...Ive nearly forgot about that chicken myself...lol I never make it anymore.

I did find out that if you marinate raw chicken breasts in pickle juice and then bread and fry them for sandwiches, they almost taste exactly like chick fl a. Amazing discovery since the nearest CFA is 30+ miles away and I never get to have it anymore.


I have a Samsung galaxy express 3. It's decent. Had it about a year now with no major problems.

Isaac, I don't want to admit this, but fleas have been a pretty big issue with me and my fur fluffs also this season. BUT! My friend adopted a puppy a couple weeks ago, and the shelter gave her a large bottle of frontline for his fleas, and she shared with me and it's like a miracle! I sprayed and massaged both cats thoroughly and I have not seen a flea, alive or even dead for almost a week now! Even after vigorous brushing and careful inspection! It's so wonderful to be flea free! And I know the cats appreciate It!

Anyway. That's it for today I think.

Oh, about cars... I had a jeep once and loved It! It was a Jeep Cherokee and I drove it to IN for the great Dome meet up. It was great till I failed to heed a warning light and blew up the motor.

Yeah. I miss that Jeep. And I now know the importance of getting it checked when a light comes on.

My Dad was insane mad at that little incident.

Eh. Live and learn.

Well. We slept in today, then got up and enjoyed cruising the Highway 64 Galore 100 miles of yardsales event. I found a deal online for a set of tires for Lou's ride, which we needed, and sniped them quickly-$320 for four new 18 inch tires is a good deal indeed. Oh, and we bought paint for Chey's new hobby of the Painted Rock Project, and since we were buying paint, I picked up a can of a beautiful light blue paint. I used it this evening on the one remaining 1950's metal shell-style lawn chairs that I have. You used to see these things everywhere, but they are becoming rare. That pastel blue is just the thing to stand out on the front porch and counter the red roof and red window boxes full of all colors of the rainbow. I'm slowly making our place look right...

Our house got to 85 degrees inside today. Thankfully Landlord Wes went out and got us a portable AC unit and is going to get us another one next week. The compressor went out in the outside unit and that's a boat load of money none of us have.

I just put in my rental request for Baltimore. I'm so excited!!

In other car news, we just found out today that the truck Brandon was going to get is having some engine issues. No thanks! We will put some band aids on the Subaru and hope it lasts til January.

It's been a beautiful August, not really the scorchers we usually have, and it's been the wettest I ever recall. Currently flooding- literally. My beautiful yard I try to keep so pretty could currently be a habitat for bass, perch, and other assorted aquatic species.
Hoping for a slow day.

The year we moved to our city we had a typical Oklahoma summer. I mowed every other week. Slow.

These last 3 years has been mowing once a week.  All summer long. I love to mow, but this is crazy.

And this week we are supposed to get rain daily. I'm going to have to bale my yard by the time I can get in to mow again.

I loved mowing when I was younger. Granted, dad let me use the riding lawn mower. My brother had to mow our yard before my dad bought one of those.. poor guy, haha.  My husband has been BEGGING for a riding lawn mower. You have to understand how ludicrous I think this is... our yard is SO small. You can't even GET a zero turn (what he wants) in between the house and the dog pen. Granted, we have been slowly but surely taking down the dog pen. But STILL! haha.. To me, it's like getting a brand new car to drive to work when your house and your work are basically the same building.

I think it could be totally justified for him to get a Zero Turn. I strongly recommend a BadBoy, made in Arkansas. Of course, I also would feel it would be justified to buy a brand new Corvette for work purposes if you worked from home. Never know when you might get called out.

I don't even know how to work through what all has happened today.....

Dad's blood levels were bad again so he had to get another transfusion. Spent my one day off this week with him either at the hospital or at his house.

As soon as I got home the local news hit. 11 arrested in a sex trafficking sting involving minors. My ex-husband [and the youth pastor at the church] was 1 of the 11 arrested. Please be in prayer for his wife and their 6 month old daughter. I don't even really have words. I'm in complete shock.

YMMV - Your Mileage May Vary. In other words what works for him might work for you, or maybe not.

Considering he's talking about lawnmowers and cars, YMMV is also probably a pun on care mileage. I wouldn't put it past him.



Heather: Wow. I wouldn't know what to think about that long after it happened, much less the day I found out.

On a self-preservation note, has he been your ex- for a good long time? I'm thinking about whether they might question you in the investigation.  I hope he's long gone and very distant from you, and you don't get dragged into the mess.

We divorced in 2008. My heart is completely broken for his wife, their 6 month old daughter, and the church. Of course the media latched onto the fact he was a youth minister and are currently dragging the churches name through the mud with his name. I've been in touch with his wife and my former MIL. Words just fail.

The end result is not so fun- gonna explain to a misguided young man that his actions have cost him his freedom for a minimum of 90 days, perhaps as much as a year, depending on his actions now and whether he wants a hearing.

Because Heather cannot have a boring day:

Woke up to the news that my great uncle [who i was going to see the week of the 27th] went in to cardiac arrest last night and they are pretty much waiting for him to pass in ICU on a vent. So my Baltimore trip got moved up a week quicker which works out well because..

I got a call last week from a teacher that i had signed up for her class. Had to drop it whenever financial aid refused to even look at my appeal. Apparently she is a bulldog and she finally got someone to dig into my transcript. Long story short, I start classes on the 28th and financial aid will cover it. I need 5 classes [4 this fall and 1 in the spring] to graduate with a double Associate's in May 2018.

So I work 2 more days. Go to Baltimore Monday through Friday [unless the funeral, etc is on the weekend]. And start school the next weekend.

Some weeks you just gotta hang on to that unraveling thread....

My mamaw, aunt, and cousin are only flying in for the day of the 2nd service because their vacation apparently cannot be interrupted and my uncle hasn't decided if he is coming or not because he's too cheap to get a hotel room and hasn't heard if he can stay at my deceased uncle's house yet..... :roll:

I'm staying with a high school friend who lives in the area and my parents are coming up Tuesday. If my dad who has stage 4 cancer is insisting on going AND staying a hotel AND being a decent human being, the rest of them have no excuse.

It's wood and wrought iron and the wood needed a paint job It got painted a Hawaiian Teal- almost a baby blue. When it dries I am going to try to hand paint
Matthew 11:28  "Come unto me, all ye that labour... and I will give you rest" on the back of it in black lettering...or white. Not sure which, or how it will come out.

I've been MIA. Went to a 24hr ER clinic Sunday overnight with killer pain thinking it was a UTI....but in fact it was a kidney stone. It thankfully passed in a few hours. Worst thing ever, while rather small....good lord.  :noo:

But I fear the pain meds I was given triggered a bout of rebound headaches. I've had one since then....and I was doing so well. Sigh.

Back to work today. Begrudgingly, but also willingly, was tired of sitting in bed all day. I think that also didn't help my headache.  :mad:

Been a busy week here. Hung out with Darla all but one night this week. I'm cooking dinner at my apartment for us for tonight, and she will fly back home tomorrow.

She is a very wonderful person and has spoken affirmatively into my life this week. I stepped out in faith last night and did a big thing that I couldn't afford and now I'm gonna watch God work it out. I know it will happen cause God is not slack concerning His promises and He said He would so I took a huge leap of Faith!

But it was all because of a testimony that Darla shared with me that have me the faith to also do something about my situation when it seems to be impossible.

Off to.work I go! Tootles!

Relax. He's a friend.

Who has taken me out a few times.

But WE. ARE. JUST. FRIENDS.

For now.

I have had him over a couple of times for lunch after church and he is coming over to watch football with me for the first game of the season next week. Our teams are playing against each other. That should be interesting. Haha.

Just friends guys. Seriously.

Depends on how you look at it I suppose. Technically I " started" at 12:30. lol

12:30 praise singers practice
1:00 choir practice
1:30 prayer
2:00 sunday school
3:00 prayer
3:30 church

Choir sang which erupted. Then we had some old friends from Bay City Texas who are up out of the path of the storm. So Pastor let them sing....which then erupted into shouting once more. Then we had a missionary to UK. He got up at about 5:45. His wife spoke for a minute, then they showed a video, then he decided he needed to preach. He started at 5:55 and preached almost 35 minutes, then we had alter call number 3? or 4? I lost count.

I sang the majority of the 3:30 on service. Drains you to the max. Add in I had a splitting headache the entire day.... I was so tired.

That makes more sense.  I was thinking on one hand that you started service at 10 am and didn't get out till 6:45 pm.  But then I thought if they started at 6 pm and didn't get out till 6:45 pm, why is she complaining?

Back at work, gonna slip out and do some home visits, then go to a boring friggin meeting this afternoon.

Made it through the day. Only 5 gazillion things to do this week. LOL. Seems like I never get caught up anymore.
 So far, I'm around 900 calories today. Lou made fajitas- I limited myself to one soft taco shell, and enough fajita meat for two. And 150 calories of  that 900 was a chocolate covered granola bar to satisfy the craving for chocolate.

 Starting to see some minor results on day three of the low calorie thing. Not a lot, but enough to know it's working.
Yesterday was loooooong. They had forecast a ton of rain here this week, courtesy of the Texas storm, but now they've changed the forecast, thinking it won't come over us. Saying mostly sunny this weekend now.
And Totally off the subject- I hate moles. Those burrowing rodents are jacking up my beautiful lawn again! I put out poison and deterrent, they leave for a week or so, then they are right back plowing up the yard.  :angry:  :angry:  :angry:  I didn't mind as bad when it was the back yard, but now they've brought their tilling talents to my beautiful front lawn. *sob*

Well. We may not be going on our cruise after all. :-(
 Our friends have cancelled due to finances. And while we COULD do it, and had planned to, it will stretch us to do so. Given that, and the fact that the port of call is 2 days drive, Lou told me she wants to go somewhere this weekend for our anniversary, and we will re-assess later about the cruise.
 Oh well. I'd probably have gotten seasick anyways.

Speaking of payment...

So Monday is payday where I work. If a given Monday is a holiday, the main office sends the checks early so they will be there anyway. So yesterday we found out our paychecks weren't there when we were supposed to get them...

If you want to see a workplace full of coworkers turn into a workplace full of viragoes real fast, just tell them their paychecks aren't in on time. You could almost see the air get darker.

Calls were made back and forth and it turns out the main office sent the checks early. FedEx dropped the ball. Worse yet, today was the store owner's birthday and he was trying to enjoy it. He left what he was enjoying, went to the main office, reprinted all them checks and had them sent to the respective stores via maintenance men.

So anyway, there sure were a bunch of cranky people at work today. I was a bit grumpy myself, but I kept my mouth shut as much as I could.

One thing for sure, now I know why amazon.com uses UPS.

Wow, that's a great store owner! If my husband's payday (Mondays as well) falls on a holiday, he just doesn't get paid until the next day. They are on direct deposit. ONE time when he first started, they paid them the Friday before instead of waiting until the day after. Haven't seen that again in almost 3 years, haha.

I do the payroll here at my office (among other things, lol). Our guys are union and must be paid by a certain time on Friday. We have actually got a pretty good system. We write the checks on Wednesday afternoon, deliver them to the job sites on Thursday, and they can deposit them Friday. I have a pretty sweet job, even if sometimes it's difficult, haha.

Lord, I'm ready for Friday. Had one of said undesirables call me and tell me he wanted to go back to prison because I was "unreasonable with him". Apparently it's unreasonable to expect someone to meet with you for 10 minutes a month, pass a drug test, and pay the $35 a month fee leveled by the parole board. Who knew??
As a result, my temper flared, my blood pressure spiked and I had to take a flying leap to salvage my status as God's child. :getangry:

Drug tests are the worst. I had to take one for my promotion back in August and I've worked here at CVS for so long (16 years in August lol), that they didn't have one on file.

I've never felt so out of place in my life going to that clinic thing to take the drug test. lol office full of hoodlums and the like.
I, thankfully made an appointment, so I with my fancy bag and blonde hair walked up in there, stood out like a sore thumb, and was promptly seen ahead of all of the others sitting in that room because of my appointment lol.

I have officially flipped my lid. Or I'm a genius. I'm not sure which, but either way I'm certainly not normal anymore, if I ever was.

I have been using a 5-gallon washtub to mix up sourdough bread, but it is too small for the batches I wanted to do. So I went out and got a ten gallon bucket, and to stir up the dough I got an honest-to-goodness boat paddle. And it worked very well! I even bypassed the first kneading by leaving the dough in the bucket and using the paddle as a plunger to knead it in situ.

Maybe it's time to open that bakery everybody keeps saying I should open. But... then it would be a JOB, not fun!

Quote from: Lynx on September 09, 2017, 03:18:18 AMI have officially flipped my lid. Or I'm a genius. I'm not sure which, but either way I'm certainly not normal anymore, if I ever was.

I have been using a 5-gallon washtub to mix up sourdough bread, but it is too small for the batches I wanted to do. So I went out and got a ten gallon bucket, and to stir up the dough I got an honest-to-goodness boat paddle. And it worked very well! I even bypassed the first kneading by leaving the dough in the bucket and using the paddle as a plunger to knead it in situ.

Maybe it's time to open that bakery everybody keeps saying I should open. But... then it would be a JOB, not fun!
You know as well as the rest of us that you've never been normal. ;)
You wouldn't fit here if you were.

 Such a beautiful day. And I'm so lazy this morning. I've totally got to clean the kitchen area of the house before lou gets in, but I'm not motivated to do so. The only motivating thing around me right now was the scale, showing another pound off....which is motivating me to eat something in celebration, thereby rendering it null and void. :pound:

Today has been terrible. Rusty has a miss I can't fix, and apparently while troubleshooting that I lost my brand new $600 Galaxy S7. And there is no service out here so none of the tracking apps work.

I got my current dog because he was the only one at the shelter who looked like he had a brain in his head. I should have gotten a dumb dog instead. Dan is too smart for his own good.

He figured out when I leave at 8:55am I don't come back until about 5pm. So he's always around the house when I'm home... and he does his raiding of neighbors' trash cans in the midday. Here I am thinking he's a good dog, then I start getting complaints from our neighbors.

Party's over though. I put his electric collar back on. Partly because I don't want my dog causing trouble with the neighbors, and partly perhaps because I hate it when a dog is smarter than I am. :-/

 Grieve no longer! I found the devil this morning. Laying on the side of the road in a clump of grass about a half mile from the house. I'd walked past it three times..... Got up this morning, grabbed Dad's old walking stick and began beating the bushes, literally and praying. Within 20 minutes, I had found it. And it was not damaged at all. Thank you Lord. I bet it don't get sat on Rusty's running boards again...
 I still don't understand why a $10 wrist watch road the entire trip without falling off, but the $600- covered-in-grippy-rubber phone could not.

Occasionally it occurs to me that it might, just possibly might be the slightest bit of a trial for my coworkers to put up with me.

Today at work one of the managers said "Hi Isaac, how ya doing?" I replied with a mild giggle like a crazy person might give, indicating moderate insanity. She said something like, "Oh, well then!" and went on her way.

Two and a half minutes later she again said, "Hello Isaac, how ya doing?" Really?
"You already asked that question and I already answered it."
"No I didn't."
"Yes you did. You don't remember?"
"I did not say that!"
"You don't remember my answer?"
"Oh yeah, the creepy little giggle..."

So for the rest of the day at work today I have been walking up to her and saying "Howdy Denise, my  name is Isaac" as though we have just met for the first time... or as though one of us has no memory of the other.

After I got done with my job I saw her on my way out. I said, "Howdy Denise, my name is..." (she glared at me) "Uh... mud, my name is mud. Excuse me, I'm just... um... going to get some distance..."

Sometimes I think maybe I should request prayer for my coworkers, that they will be able to find the patience. Then sometimes I think maybe my purpose in life is to teach other people patience. :updown:

I can make all the rest of that for myself, but... a pear pie?

It's your fault Chel. Because of you I must now open a jar of homemade pear preserves and eat them on bread, and as good as Grandma's pear preserves are, I will be wishing with every bite that they were in a pie.

Well, the pie was gluten free/dairy free, so not as good as usual (no butter) but not bad for a first try. The pears were fresh off my daddy's tree.

Back at work. Got all clear from the doc on all of my tests, he say's I'm healthy , although a tad overweight- as if I didn't know this.

The center diode (inside middle piece of the sparkplug) of plug number three was broken off. These plugs now days are pitiful. That's the second plug that has done that in the past two years (different engines, so it's not an engine problem). Replaced it, and we back in business.

Hey, Chel... first of all, I miss you. :(

It's been a million years since Ive seen you... or at least 4, give or take.

Second, I need a lasagna. And the best lasagna I've ever made/had is the ones that we made together.

So I'm gonna need you to come over on Wednesday. I get my stamps Tuesday and I'm gonna buy lasagna fixings, and I need you to come help me.

But this time, I have a big package of ground deer meat  and homemade tomato sauce I canned myself that I'm gonna use... should make it very yummy.

Remember my pampered chef stonewear lasagna pan? Yeah, I had it so dark and seasoned so perfectly.

It met a curious cat named Beans and got shoved off the very top of the cabinet and hit the tile floor. It didn't survive. So there's that...and yes I cried. That was my prize pan that cost a lot of money and I worked hard hosting parties and selling pampered chef just to get it for free.

Anyway. I need you, and if you have a lasagna pan, bring it.

That is all.

Yes. I was upset.

I should have put it in a better spot, but I didn't think she would knock it off the top of the cabinet. She likes to climb up there and I didn't think. Partly my fault.

But maybe at the fair this year I can acquire another one. There is a pampered chef lady that has a booth. I hate that I'll have to start over though. Mine was seasoned so Good!

Yay. I'm not good enough to work at Wal-Mart.  Go me. 

I was thinking the Wal-Marts I have been to all could use a good nerd in the electronics department, and I have just about every night free, and I could use the extra cash... so I put in an online application. Part of the Wal-Mart application is a questionnaire. I answered every question honestly and ethically, but at the end of it I was informed that I had "completed but not passed" the questions.

I mean it's no great loss, I didn't really HAVE to get a job there... but wow, I was rejected by Wal-Mart. How sad is that?

Don't feel bad. I took it some time back, applied to be part time loss prevention. I figured 15 years of catching crooks should qualify me....wrong. I took the test in the store- I guess I passed, since I didn't get a message that I had failed, but was told later that I didn't score as high as the person who got the job- someone who we had rejected for our reserve officer program.

Want me to ask my uncle Fred what kind he recommends? You'll have to buy it yourself though, we-all broke round here.


In local news:
Weeeeee! I hauled 13 kids to church on the church bus tonight. That's more than we've had in years on the bus.

I took 13 kids home. I took home exactly as many as I picked up. Under the circumstances I consider that a minor achievement.

And now I am tired. Fortunately at least I'm not deaf. Considering there were 13 kids in one bus, they were pretty nice kids. Nobody went airborne, nobody punched anybody in the face and made anybody start sobbing, nobody got in a fight over who gets the front seat. I still wore earplugs though.

I have my job [which I will stay part time and not pile on the responsibility!]. I have to do something to get my body in check. I've been so full of anxiety the past 2 weeks I've stayed sick the entire time and my body won't relax [hence headaches, muscle and joint problems, stomach issues, etc.]. I'm so incredibly thankful for an understanding husband.

Open to closes at work the next 2 days. Church then a work shift sunday. Have a good weekend all!

I'm pleased. I did bail outta work early, and while laying in the recliner, I discovered one of my former favorite country singers, Lefty Frizzell, has a baby brother who sounds much like he did and sings country gospel. The type that Ruby would be throwing things at. The honkey tonk sound. In short, I went to my favorite indie music site, cdbaby, and $10 later I'm jamming to some AWESOME redneck country gospel. I'm totally tempted to make a cd of it and send it to Ruby and Chris, just to hear her head explode upon hearing it around the kiddos. :laughhard:

*shrug* Okay. "Nothing important."

Only thing new here is, the fleas are back. I took the permethrin bottle and soaked down a stripe on the dog's back, then loaded up the sprayer with diluted permethrin and dawn dishwashing liquid and sprayed down the whole carport. Probably overkill, but I want them things GONE!

Anyone else had bad trouble with sand fleas the last couple years?

 No. But I am having an issue with snakes!:pound: Last year or year before last,  a little water snake got in the house. I lost my mind, killed it and moved on.
 This morning at 630 Lou woke me up to tell me there was another in the kitchen. It was a tiny little thing around 6 inches long, but I still beat it to death with the broom, totally demolishing the broom in the meantime. How those things get in the house I don't know. Our house is so tight when you turn the attic fan on, it'll * s.uck* the doors closed....???

 And I hate that filter. When used in the proper context, s.uck IS a valid word. :pound:

I made my lasagna in a disposable lasagna pan cause I didn't have another pan that was suitable. :sadbounce:

But the taste was amazing and I have a lot left even after three of us pigged out on it.

Been working two jobs these past weeks. Car show  (Crusin the Coast) season is upon us, and in two weeks I'll be at the fair all week selling lemonade.

I'm so tired, but it's money, and I desperately need it.

EGGNOG SEASON is upon us! WOOHOO! I have been waiting for this ever since last Christmas.

The first brand of eggnog was seen on the store shelf (and a carton was promptly procured) tonight. It's Southern Comfort (non-alcoholic) brand, and that brand does have a slightly heavy hand with the spices... it's not my all-time favorite brand, and as soon as my favorite brand comes out I will switch to it.  But it is the first, so I will gladly take it until my favorite brand cranks up.

Here's a toast to the holiday season! May all your days be merry, bright and viewed through the bottom of a cream-coated glass.

Don't squash your enjoyment on our opinions of a product you love! I'll still enjoy everything I like to eat and drink no matter what everyone else thinks of it, haha. :)

Eggnog is good....in small doses. When I buy any, I buy the smallest bottle or carton, and then drink about a little over half a normal sized coffee cup full. So maybe just under a cup at a time. And I can't just have it like just drink it all up, I have to be in the mood for it. Maybe some one day and go a day or two without having any more. Sometimes it even goes bad before I finish the carton. *gasp*

It's just not my thing, even though I enjoy it on my terms. Lol

When I feel like crud I know why - it's my own fault for ingesting a large quantity of dairy, like the large mug of hot egg nog I just drank this morning. Now I'll have sinus crud for half a day, and it's worth it. It was delicious.

I'm not sure what the deal has been this year. Just haven't felt great most of the year. Maybe it's just getting older. I HAVE always been a whiner, and maybe a closet hypochondriac. :lol:
 Spent all day in class, listening to a class I have taught and attended for years. It's kinda boring the 5 trillionth time you've went through it.

And I received bad news tonight as well. One of the rocks of my childhood, a man of God that I admired greatly although it's been a bit since I saw him, Bro Rudy Thrasher passed away today after having a stroke. He was the real deal. He preached a message called "The Law of the Harvest" that laid out the path to God's blessings better than any I have ever heard. Obviously it made an impression on me- I was a young teen when he preached it at our church and I still remember the exact title.
Last time I saw him, I was working at the State Capitol a few years ago, on a door, and he and Sis Thrasher came in. Despite not seeing him for years, I instantly recognized him, and enjoyed the time he gave me while Sis Thrasher looked around, especially after he knew who I was. He was quick to care, quick with wise counsel, and absolutely impeccable in his personal life and walk with God. Heaven is richer today- and we are poorer.

Morning all. Chey talked me into stopping and getting a Frappuccino this morning, something I'm not accustomed to. It may have given me a tad of a jumpstart this morning.

Christmas music in October...bah humbug.

I'm moving. Ugh. It will be better for me over all. But I hate moving.

HATE.

I'm paying $545.00 plus utilities here now. I barely scrape by. God sends blessings and down right miracles every month to keep me afloat.

I've been searching for a new job, one that would meet my financial needs, but I seem to be hitting dead ends.

Instead, God opened doors for me to find a cheaper place, AND a roommate..

With splitting the rent, I'm saving $295.00 a month, and we are also splitting utilities.

I'm gonna be able to have actual money. Wow. I won't know how to act.


I hate moving, but the relief I feel already is amazing.

I am the original scrooge. I HATE Christmas music for the most part.
And Mel, that's great. I hope your roommate is compatible with you. It'll be nice to have the companionship, too, I'm sure.

And in sharing here- I am glad it is Friday. This week was long and annoying. And tomorrow is full too- free dump day in the county as county clean up, and then at 2 pm, They have decided we would have a youth service. Truthfully, I'd rather not go, but would get called a terrible sinner for not going. Lord. I need to get caught up..

Sorry, Tia.
 

Been a busy day today. Hauled stuff to the dump, picked up the next 6 months' worth of laundry soap and softener - we buy it by the 5 gallon bucket from a local lady, $35 a bucket, much cheaper than buying at the store- and went to the youth service.
 Then I made it home and prepared to relax. That lasted about an hour before I got a call to go help our associate pastor who'd had a sewer drain house o their travel trailer that they are temporarily living in bust and spew nasty stuff all over the church parking lot. I drug the power washer up there and some bleach and cleaned it up. I intend to cook French toast tomorrow morning, a pot roast tomorrow afternoon, and do nothing useful otherwise.

And for once, I'm kinda looking forward to the cooler weather. :sing: Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow :sing:

What is snow again? Never seen it so I'm not sure it exists.

Got my key to my new place.

And my schedule for next week. From Monday to Saturday I will be working a whopping 70.5 hours total with my BK job in the mornings and the fair in the afternoon and evening. I work from 5am till 11, at BK, and then 12-8pm at the fair M-F, and Saturda, just the fair 12-8p. But all that comes to 70.5 hours of paid work time.

Thanking God for provision, but I need Him to give me strength and stamina as well. Lol


Up and about to make tomato gravy and biscuts for breakfast and then get ready and head to church.

That is all.

 Snow. A cold white stuff that causes people to lose their minds while in their car, and now gives me a paid day off of work. :lol:

I got up, put on the roast, fixed and ate French Toast with Chey on the front porch. I rained most of the night here, and there was some rain and wind this morning. It's cool- actually feels like fall.

I'm always ready for summer and spring. The warm weather, even hot weather is my jam.
But the idea of a few free days off excites me.

Ah, t'is a magical time of year. :D And vanilla spice... I think that is the Southern Comfort brand. (No, not THAT Southern Comfort... this is non-alcoholic.) It's not half bad.

A friend at church makes a big deal about hating the Christmas season and everything connected to it, including egg nog. Just to tease him I sent him a picture of the first carton of egg nog I bought and he texted back, "The season we are in is FALL. This is the season for pumpkin spice everything." So a couple days ago I found pumpkin spice egg nog in the store. I asked him if I should pick up a carton for him. He replied with a gagging sound. Just can't help some people...

Completely on board with the bah humbug Christmas crowd.
And yes, Isaac, you were right. It is Southern Comfort brand, because I instantly thought  of the alcoholic product. Double checked before buying it, even though our Walmart does not sell alcoholic beverages.
If I get desperate, I'll take a couple doses of "Pentecostal Sippin' Whiskey", aka Nyquil, and chase it with the eggnog. :lol:

 Been busy all morning, working on my sex offender files. Ick. Some parts of the job I really dislike. By the time I get done working on these files and going over their offenses, all 24 of them, I'll need mind bleach, a strong amount of God's Grace so I don't kill folks, and something humorous.  But I HAVE to get and keep the files organized so I don't miss anything with the sick folk...:pound:

I'm abnormally pro-holidays this year. I've been really into decorating our house for fall and I'm excited about Christmas. I needed whatever mood Christmas music brought with it that day.. and I could use it again today, haha.


Mel - I'm so glad you're getting into a better situation!! Plus you guys can split the costs of food as well! That'll be so great for you and SUCH a relief for your mind. God works in neat ways huh?!

MJJ - Glad you're getting closer to your peoples! We live about 7 minutes from church and it comes in SO handy at times, haha. I always lived at least 45 min from church and work and social life, before I married! haha..


My husband was let go from his job on Friday. I'm thankful that God has provided me with an incredible job, and my Christmas bonus has already kicked in & we signed him up for unemployment - so we are going to be okay financially for a bit, but I am praying that God can lead Jeremy to the right job and workplace. I'm also just concerned for his mental well-being. It's been really hard on him, he's constantly worried about letting me down - which I've explained over and over... that our vows didn't promise wealth, comfort, and never worrying.. just love and growing old together. He's a hard worker, just hard on himself too haha. So whisper a prayer for him this week please! Today is his first day without a job in a very long time.


We had a pretty successful day at church yesterday! Pastor Appreciation went off well! We had the kids do their fingerprints in multi-colored paints and made an outline of a white cross on a canvas for our pastor. It's beautiful! We also have SEVERAL new bus kids and they are so sweet. We are working on maintaining them and growing our Sunday school even more!

We had bought three sets of blinds at Lowe's a week ago, and Jeremy went to install the first set yesterday - the blind curse has continued, LOL. We have to take them back tonight to get the correct size because they were too small. HAHAHA. No matter HOW many times we measure, we always have the wrong blinds the first try. Does that happen at anyone else's house?! lol..

We have had our windows up in the house for the last two months since our a/c broke about that long ago. I had to close most of them last night because it has gotten SO cold unless it's sunny out. Where did fall go? I'm afraid winter is showing up already, haha.

I know I'm crazy, but I'm driving myself crazier.  

*sigh*

As Roscoe can attest through our roughly 45000 text messages in the last two weeks, God has been exceedingly good to us.  But one aspect of that has been the need for a decent lower mile car.  

I have found 2 cars that "did it" for me.

One I looked at yesterday has long been a dream car of mine.  Bu when I started it, it blew enough vapor smoke to hide the salesman for 5 to 10 seconds who was standing ~10 away.  It drove great, but that was a exorbitant amount of "vapor". So now I'm not so sure.... *sigh*

Here's a post I made about that same car 5 years ago....lol.

http://mission238.com/forum/index.php?topic=32612.msg947063#msg947063

The other was out of my price range, but man.  2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee.  Overland package.  Leather everywhere.  Sunroof from front to back seats.  But the responsible adult in me says no, while the other part of me says yes.

There are so many options on the market it's crazy.

One good thing is I have discovered a website that allows me to search cars for sale a little better.

You need to bite the bullet.LOL.  Speaking from experience with commuting, if you buy a meh car, it's gonna be boring and repetitive, , maybe even annoying. But- if you buy a fun car, something YOU like- even if it's a Kia (something no one with taste would admit)- It'll make the drive home a pleasure and enjoyable. When I had a fun car (Miata, Corvette), I enjoyed the time it took to get back and forth to work. When it was troublesome (Lincoln) or boring (Canyon) it was simply a pain.

 Straight from their facebook page. "Bibles and beer is tomorrow night! Join FUMC at Yesterday's at 6:00 PM for dinner and fellowship."
It's legit.  :roll:


 And in reference to the convertible hardtop- Ford did that in 1959 with their retractable hardtop. Awesome concept, but if the hydraulic pumps go out, you get wet and spend a ton to replace them.

I told Lou to tell her she would work a morning shift and be off for Thanksgiving supper, or an evening shift and be off for Thanksgiving lunch, but it is not fair to schedule anyone in such a manner that no family meal can be had.

It's a slippery slope. A set up....then a date.....then marriage. Then you wake up one day old, with a mortgage, and a daily routine, counting down days until retirement. Yep.     You has started the path of being old.


Hello, all. Chel, I wish I had time and money for us to slip down. I'm sure I could find a truckload of your yardsale stuff I need, given Robbie's taste similarities to mine... probably even a truck to load. :lol:

And today was HORRIBLE. Our beloved sheriff's office arrested a TON of people last night, most of whom was on parole or probation. The majority on a good friend's caseload. The same good friend that covered for me on my vacation, whom I owe large. The same good friend that was off on vacation today. I spent all day doing violation reports and paperwork. The good side is, she should not have anything extra to do when she comes back on Monday. And  that's what friends do...
But I'm gonna enjoy the weekend. Nothing I have to do for a change. Sadly, no money to do anything I'd like too.

So I just got my new phone. It's the Unihertz Jelly (tm) phone. This replaces my old phone, the Posh Mobile Micro X.

Here's a picture of the old one:
(http://cdn2.ubergizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/posh-mobile-micro.jpg)

Aaaaaand... a picture of the new one:
(https://cdn57.androidauthority.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Unihertz-Jelly-11-840x561.jpg)

Notice anything odd? :rolleyes:

But when I got this phone out of the box, I could tell a difference before I turned it on. It just FEELS more solid. Not heavier, more solid, like it was better made or something. I don't know, it's hard to explain.

All the hardware inside the phone case is very different too. I think Unihertz looked around for a small case to put the phone's guts in and said, "Hey, that company that made the Posh Mobile Micro X shell might still have the tooling for that case." This new phone has Android 7.0, which my old phone never could dream of having the power to run. The new phone has two sim card slots too, and they are behind the battery instead of slots in the outer edges of the phone.

I'm not mentioning this because I think you should get one of these phones. This phone is NOT for normal people. I got it because it suits my particular use-case very well, but I think it would be very frustrating for a normal person to try to use this phone.

So why do I mention it? I dunno, this is the sharing thread and I'm happy about this phone.

That's right Fuzzy, twist the knife. :P

If I don't get a pecan pie UPS overnight shipped to me I will suggest in my prayer time that it might be very fitting if the price of pecans in Texas goes up to $47 a pound.

It takes an insane man with a death wish to have more than one wife. I understand now why the Middle East has suicide bombers....they'd rather die than face another day alive. :lol: Dear Lord. Four wives guarantees at least one is ticked at you at all times.....
It apparently came a storm here last night. A small town west of me had a supermarket damaged by winds.  Apparently I snoozed right through the excitement.

Haha! It was a law that they must treat each wife equally. So if one got a nice villa for her 12 kids and a car; each of the other wives must have one of equal value. One of Ben's coworkers was afraid of the wife he left in Egypt and didn't tell her he got married again in Abu Dhabi. We always wondered how that turned out.

I heard a comedian who looked at it from the other side. He said his wife was reading the Bible and got to the part about how many wives and concubines Solomon had, and she said, "WHY?!"

Before he could stop his own words he said, "Maybe Solomon wanted to be able to come home and find at least ONE of them in a good mood."

Meanwhile, back on the farm...

"When I was a kid we had four cats."
"What were their names?"
"Let's see... there was Cat, Cat, Cat and Cat."
"No names?"

Hello, all. Chel, I wish I had time and money for us to slip down. I'm sure I could find a truckload of your yardsale stuff I need, given Robbie's taste similarities to mine... probably even a truck to load. :lol:

And today was HORRIBLE. Our beloved sheriff's office arrested a TON of people last night, most of whom was on parole or probation. The majority on a good friend's caseload. The same good friend that covered for me on my vacation, whom I owe large. The same good friend that was off on vacation today. I spent all day doing violation reports and paperwork. The good side is, she should not have anything extra to do when she comes back on Monday. And  that's what friends do...
But I'm gonna enjoy the weekend. Nothing I have to do for a change. Sadly, no money to do anything I'd like too.

I sure wish you guys could too. I'd sell you some tamales out of the freezer st least! Lol.

I've spent most of the day on the range. It's always a good day when I can use someone else's ammunition, get paid for the time to do so, and make things go bang.
As an added bonus, my boss that qualified today- one of three of my immediate superiors- shot a career high score and credited my style of relaxed instruction and the lack of others at the range for this. She was happy enough she wanted a pic of the target to torment her other employees with- who she had outshot, quite handily.
 And it was beautiful and 75 degrees. Tomorrow, the other instructor is teaching. And it's supposed to be rainy and a high of 56ish....

Is it wrong that I currently hate you? I need a month in Hawaii. Preferably away from crowds.
Thankful it's Friday.
 And apparently I'm going to have to watch showing my approval at my local meat market, a family owned, country style fresh meat market where they grind their own beef, ect. They started selling empanadas- "savory meat pies" for lunch. They are pretty tasty, and I mentioned that I should order a case of them and put in the freezer. Apparently, they took that as a green light, and ordered a case of them to sell me... :o

It's supposed to be cold and wet tomorrow. I suspect I shall sleep in and maybe make a few more loaves of homemade bread. The four I made last weekend lasted about 27 milliseconds before they were scarfed up.

It is very wrong.  We didn't get away from crowds or even enjoy hawaii.  We went for va appointments and the entire trip was stressful. lol  I HATE Hawaii because it will always be associated with va and tripler hospital. lol  My husband had surgery on his ankle, so we had to stay for his recovery.

Dad got to go home yesterday. He's having a hard time adjusting to his new normal. (Stage 4 small cell lung cancer, emphazemia, etc). His lungs essentially look like those pictures they show you in health class to try to scare you to not smoke. He needs to stay on his oxygen pretty much all the time now.

Worked open to close today. Doing it again tomorrow. Sunday will be my 1st Sunday off (not requested for like vacation) in I think 7 months.

We are joining the moving party. Not by choice. Our slumlord is forcing us out for her family to move in. I had a dream a couple weeks ago that we had to move. I truly believe it was God preparing me. We found a house within 2 hours. A former coworker hadn't even put his rental property on the market yet. We will be in a single family home. We get to keep our dog and 1 cat. My parents are taking Toph. Our newest is being rehomed by my ex's ex. I've found a rescue who will take Lucian if I can't find him a home. Ollie is the lucky kitty who gets to stay. We have 30 days to get packed, get deposits saved, and move on.

1. Choose the cat who has a solid color.
2. Paint all the other cats to match.
3. Claim they are all one cat that is very active and always doing something. =^.^=

The worst part is now that I know we are moving, I just want to be moved. But we have to be patient and wait. Sigh.

Today is laundry, packing, hopefully getting my check at a decent time.

Perks are in our new house we will be closer to everything except Brandon's work. I'll be 3 minutes from work, 10 from church and my parents. We will be back on the TN side [thank you Lord from delivering us from VA] and in the city limits. So, if we do get snow, our roads will actually get treated and scraped.

I thought about it today, I'll actually be able to put flower beds [and possibly a raised veggie garden] out next spring because we won't have 8 dogs in our yard to dig it all up. We may even be able to sit on our front porch and enjoy it! [Plus not have said 8 dogs literally EAT our outdoor furniture]

At work today this one young guy was spending a lot of time on his phone. Finally I asked him what he was doing that was so important and time consuming. He said, "Looking for single ladies."

After thinking about that for a moment I said, "Actually I think pies beat single ladies, and I'll tell you why. Last night I went down to Dollar Tree (one of those everything's-a-dollar places) and bought a whole case of cookies & cream pie slices, 32 slices. Now I'm happy. Meanwhile you're still looking."

"Also a whole case of those pie slices cost only $32 plus tax. $32 wouldn't even cover your first date. So for price/benefit alone I think pies come out way ahead." (Also I can stay happy with 32 slices of cookies & cream pie for more than a month.)

My dear brother- while I admire the thought that you put into your cost/benefit analysis, I must state that, even for a pie lover like myself- a good woman is much more valuable than pies. Pies can't keep you warm. They can't wipe your tears when you are falling apart and can't let anyone else see, can't lift you up before God when you are in the stage of life that you wonder if He even exists, or is listening to you...They can't give you unimaginable love, great gifts like the perfect child to light up your life with a smile...
Yep, I love pie.  But I must say, my friend, I'll keep the keeper I got 14 years ago. Even though I some times call her a "thing" and use bible to justify it (he who finds a wife finds a good thing)... and if I'm lucky, she'll make me- a Pie. :P

What kinda girl you expecting to date that would cost more than $32 on a first date? lol good grief.
There are millions of date ideas that don't cost anything!

I've been to the airport conservatory thing (where you can see airplanes fly) on a date = no cost.
Met one at the Las Colinas horses (a historical thing where there are 5 stallions running, has waterfall etc.) = no cost.
Met one at the Ballpark and we walked around it = no cost.

If you meet a girl that expects more than that for a first date she a gold digger.......

I'm now not allowed to post anything about our current house on social media because it hurts one of landlord's feelings. If the shoe fits honey, wear it. She is so incredibly concerned with her appearance that one crack in the facade sends her into high anxiety. Maybe don't be so fake and you won't have to hide.....

Also, they blocked us from using internet so if I'm not on as much before we get in the new house, I love most of you and happy thanksgiving!

Many young men around here pay much more than that for a first date. Expectations, you know.

But if I could find a nice lady who did not nitpick every joke to death, I might be willing to pay that.

Did she get a flu shot? Like in the last 2 months?
We started flu shot season end of August.

I'm pretty anti-flu shot. Unless you're elderly or a kid (over 9yrs). It's basically giving yourself the flu strains so your body can become immune. So 7/10 people who get a shot get the flu.

Something I miss is good lunch meat. The ONLY thing you can get here is ham, or make pb&j. I'm sick of pb&j and don't like ham. If I don't make egg or chicken salad, there aren't any options for easy lunch. There aren't drive through places or easy restaurants open and street food can give you the runs. It's not usually an issue but since everyone is off this week for Water Festival I'm racking my brain for lunches that aren't expensive but also aren't cooking an elaborate meal.

I made a pot of chili last night for the Fall Festival tonight, and I started wondering: What's the difference between soup, stew and chili? Is chili just soup with meat and beans? Or no beans... Or sometimes no meat... If you put cayenne pepper in a pot of kidney beans does that make it chili? But then what about "white" chili, that doesn't use tomato sauce?

I know what "chili" is and what it should taste like, but now I'm wondering if it's a stew.

Yes. Each church plan will be different, due to layout and different security personnel- in some churches, everybody carries, in some, no one, and in some, just the pastor.
 Ours is simple, due to the layout, ect, most of our congregation were advised to simply cover in place under the pews, so as to minimize the target they present, and call 911 if possible. We have several carrying so we went over this. At some point, we will especially target sunday school teachers and leaders, and make sure they know exactly what to do.
 Shot you a text- get me what I've asked for and I'll design a plan, get input from my local LE to make sure I haven't skipped anything, and come present it for your church.

LOL. Thanks to the police work and the senate work, I've a little knowledge about making a target harder. Like I told the church the other night, we cannot guarantee no one will die in a shooting event in this church. But we CAN guarantee it will be more difficult for a killer to do the kind of damage that was done in Texas sunday. It's mostly common sense stuff, but it helps to know everyone is on the same page and reduces the risk of a "friendly fire" incident.

And in sharing, I have the Red Devil back on the road. Finally. With no oil leak, a new battery and a new alternator. Now, I'll have to put new front brake pads on it soon, but other than that, I think it's mechanically sound...

But not near as fun.

Went out and did a little shooting today. Good times. Slept in too..Being lazy now. Just bought Cars 3 movie....Liked it better than Cars 2, and pretty close to the original Cars. Didn't need to spend $20 on it, but my inner kid wanted the movie more than my real kid did. :lol:

Well we will be moving soon.  Hopefully we will be completely out by December 31st.  That's the plan anyway.  We are taking over my husbands moms old home.  It currently has family living there, but since they refuse to pay rent, and we are spending money renting, then its time for them to go.  Hope to get it fixed up and ready to rent out to someone who will pay.  smh.  But, in the mean time, we will have room for company if anybody wants to come visit! 

Adina, the more I see of where you are, the more I think the places we live are very similar.  I'm starting to enjoy it here despite the heat, but I'm so ready for the convenience of the mainland again.

Ashley, do you guys have tuktuk? I know India and Latin America do, in addition to here.

I feel like we are in a pivotal place right now: we need to settle down somewhere where Ben can do doctoral research, the kids can play outside, have access to nature etc. Up to now, all of the moving makes sense career wise, but after attaining a doctorate and principal job, it would look suspicious if we moved too much for his resume.

We have to think about languages the kids need to know for college: French and Spanish have free options. Talia graduates in 6 years!!!

Well that's +7 points for honesty... but -1337 man-card points. :P

And from what I heard, Cars 2 was basically the Tow-Mater show. I didn't watch it, but I heard a lot of people weren't happy with it.

Cars two was okay...it was just kind of a James Bond spoof, and that's really not my thing. Three is more back to the roots.
And I don't need man-card points. I've got a beautiful wife and daughter, a Corvette, and a Kimber. All I lack of having everything is a Harley... LOL.
And in pure honesty- I ain't doing nothin' today until church time. Gonna laze around.

I cannot stand making the bed. It's better now that I can actually get to both sides of our bed, but thankfully Jeremy helps me now too! We usually only make the bed after we've washed the sheets. Low maintenance!



I giggled about her snowballing you with telling you that your way looked better!!


Jeremy might be starting a new job in the next two weeks!! YYAAAYY!! Also 'boo' in a few ways since his hours will be crazy some, but it's a good job with federal benefits (USPS), so I'm going to be happy about it! He will be a sub for the majority of our area, so he will be generating quite a large amount of overtime. Plus apparently USPS has started doing Amazon deliveries on Sundays. That's the ugh part. haha..

We are going to Arkansas this weekend to see my family since Jeremy won't be able to get off work for a while to go anywhere. I'm just hoping we can still go for some of Christmas while my brother & sis'n law are in town.

Whoa, whoa, wait... Nelle, was that serious about the postal service doing amazon.com deliveries on Sunday? They keep talking about possibly cutting out a weekday mail delivery (like Wednesday) but they will deliver online retailer packages on Sunday?

Maybe they are getting desperate. Every time I order something from amazon it comes UPS, not USPS. Maybe USPS is trying anything they can to keep amazon's business.

I believe they have a contract that requires them to send a % of the business to USPS. Supposedly that contract may be expiring soon, but USPS will even be required to work on a holiday if the customer has purchased a certain time frame package shipping item. I'm sure that's not extremely often, but the customer's package will supersede the holiday.

We are ecstatic about the benefits & pay, and even the hours (due to overtime - haha). If he can stay with it, he will be able to buy back his military time and have 4 years added to his tenure federally, which will help greatly when it's time to retire! :D

Still packing. Still over our current situation. Still don't have any help at work.

However, our new landlord is amazing. I've rehomed 2 of my cats and my ex's cat leaves for his new home on Friday. I've gotten all the extras packed and taken to the new house. At least things that will fit in a hatchback Yaris. lol. Today I start on the kitchen.

I wish I knew what to do on the error. I only get one- and it's when I first open the forum. I click on general discussions and have no more issues.

Today has been a tad stressful. I've got one parolee that is driving me nuts...and a ton more that I have to work on. And we have company coming over tonight. And I really wanna be alone... Lord. Sometimes I think it'd be nice to be an extrovert instead of an introvert.

Forget resale - if they were pecans you would be missing them and I would be full. The only thing better than pecans is chocolate covered pecans.

And I have been getting occasional errors when I try to post something. The server says something about not being able to upload the attachment because the directory can't be accessed... but I'm not trying to attach anything to the post.

Oh yeah, and I get the same error everybody else gets when we first come to the forum, but I refresh the page and it goes away.

We don't have tuktuk here.  Here we mostly travel in busses or walk unless you have a personal vehicle.  The busses are homemade!  They take a truck and break it down, and then build a frame over it.  I think I may have pictures somewhere.  They are kinda cool.  All they leave is the drivers seat lol.

Ugh. My husband and I have been sick for the past week.  I feel like I have the flu.  Feel like I'm running a fever and low on energy.  Today is the first day I was able to stay out of bed for this long, but I slept a good bit yesterday and last night.  I'm hoping by tomorrow I'll feel like getting out and about.  Got some stuff I need to take care of. 

Asking for prayers for my husbands medboard.  They've been blowing us off for years, and now they are just completely ignoring our emails and phone calls.  His contract is up middle of next month, so if they continue to ignore him, then he will lose a ton of benefits.  We really need this.  We need to keep insurance and get his retirement so we can keep his military id.  So, please pray that at the very least they will extend his contract for another year and that will give me more time to contact JAG and our congresswoman.

I've STILL got "once a day" stuck in my head. lol 

I'm still not feeling well, but I'm up and moving better than before.  Can't get ahold of the woman who we need to talk to about moving out of the house.  Her phone is disconnected.  And if they don't pay their light bill soon the electricity will be cut off too.  Thankfully the bill is not in my name, but the bill stays with the house regardless, so we may end up stuck with it.  ugh.  At least its only 500+ now instead of 1500+ like it was a couple of months ago. 

We are still getting the run around from his unit in California.  I'm not sure what to do at this point.  We need God to step in, but I've learned that he does things in His time and not mine.  So...it will probably be at a last minute I'm pulling my hair out and sobbing kinda thing.  smh.  I guess I'm still working on patience and trust. 

It's raining now.  I hope that helps it cool down some.  It's 86 degrees here.  lol It stays that way all year pretty much tho, so no surprise. 

That's about it for my crazy life.  See you guys later.

I'm here!  Finally heard back from a man in my husbands unit who is handling his stuff.  He is on leave until Monday, so hopefully we find something out then. 

In the meantime, I'm working on a nontraditional Thanksgiving menu.  It'll just be me and my husband, and we don't really like turkey, and I'm having a hard time finding a lot of the usual stuff here.  I'm thinking mac salad like zippy's restaurant does it, cornbread dressing, asparagus wrapped in bacon and brown sugar, and a rotisserie chicken if I can figure out how to use mine.  Not exactly healthy, but I guess thanksgiving isn't usually healthy anyway. lol  Oh, and I'm having a sweet potato casserole.  All for me!

Well. Mixed emotions today. Dude called two days ago about buying the Corvette. I told him everything. He loved it. Sent me pics of a cashiers check for it, agreed to come down today to get it. I was not overjoyed, because I really wasn't crazy about selling it, but I figured, well, I'll pay debts off and put us in a better place. So I resign myself to it, and actually hype myself up about paying stuff off.
He shows up. He loves the car and wants it. BUT- his wife who is with him obviously doesn't. Despite my telling him it was 21 years old, not new, and a nice driver with some paint blemishes, thus being sold for $6500 instead of $9 to $10k , she picks it apart. He finally apologized and told me that if it were just him, he'd have bought it on the spot, but she was obviously not going to go with it, so he couldn't buy it. You could tell he wanted it too. He told me that he thought the car was worth the $8k I had initially asked months ago, after she had gotten back in their vehicle....
 Long story short, I still have my Corvette. Sadly, I also still have my bills.

8 days til moving. Also going tomorrow to start helping my best friend pack to move. They were renting a house off a family from church. Said family were taking their rent money to live on and now the house is in foreclosure and up for auction in 2 weeks. Pastor is M.A.D. at the family.

So I got the turkey and I can't figure out if I did something really good or somewhat inconvenient.

Our workplace gives us a voucher for a turkey at the local grocery store. I asked Mom if she wanted a small or large turkey and she did say she wanted a large one... I found one that was 39 pounds. I was hoping for a flat 40, mostly for OCD reasons, but I settled for 39.

I told Mom how much it weighed and she expressed shock. Then she posted it on her facebook and her friends expressed shock. I thought that was fairly normal for a turkey (but then I've never cooked a turkey,) but apparently it is very large. Mom says her Reynolds (tm) turkey bags only go up to 24 pound turkeys. One of her friends mentioned she cannot find even a 20 pound turkey these days.

I dunno, Mom says it's a good thing but I still hope I'm not causing a lot of inconvenience. Mom is the one who will be cooking this bird. I had no idea that was such an outrageous size for a turkey.

Maybe we can cut it up in chunks to marinate and bake it. I'll check if Mom has a skill saw.

I had to share that with a few people.  I didnt know they even sold turkeys that big.

Kudos for giving me a laugh today.

Urgh. One day closer to the long weekend. Ready to kill my wife. Bless her heart she's invited folks out for the evening again. I'm really wishing I had a cabin in the mountains to run to. I want peace and quiet and she wants everyone over screaming and yelling.....

Putting up the tree tomorrow morning. Chris doesn't know that yet. :D It's about the only time when everyone will be home, though, so we don't really have options unless we want to leave someone out.

Baked molasses cookies with the kiddos today. I left the bowl of sugar on the table, turned my back for a moment and.... Teddy had his face buried in the sugar bowl. Sugar was pretty much everywhere. His face, hands, clothes, floor, table, chair and cushion. Silly boy.

What a weekend! I took off Friday so that Jeremy & I could leave earlier to go to my parents for our Thanksgiving, since this year we are spending actual thanksgiving with his family up here.

My dad went to put the pies in the oven (first thing to start baking on Sat), and realized the oven stopped working. They've had that oven since they bought the trailer/house. I was 7 and I'm now almost 33. LOL.. So needless to say - inconvenient, but it definitely lasted a WHILE. They have propane, so we had to find a gas stove they liked and then find someone willing to come on Saturday to convert it to propane. Thankfully we have a family friend who knew how and agreed to come. We didn't get to bake the turkey, but he cut off pieces and skillet-fried it. It tasted delicious either way. Sunday night they had their church thanksgiving, so we stayed for that. We didn't get home until around 11pm or so.  Yesterday morning I was supposed to go back to work, but I was insanely sick. It lasted pretty much all day, but I'm back at work today. Hopefully it wasn't something contagious because I wouldn't wish what I had on my worst enemy, haha. At least this is a short week for me, even made shorter by Day 1 of 3 being home sick, haha. Today and tomorrow and I'm off for four days!

Today I'm ever so thankful.  So..yesterday our refrigerator goes out.  Apparently it had went out sometimes during the night.  All my food was going bad and needless to say I was not happy.  Landlord didn't really care.  So, we loaded up and headed to ACE to buy a new one.  I managed to get everything put in the new one and be in bed by midnight last night.  We lost very minimal stuff.  Pray that the chicken is actually good once I cook it for thanksgiving dinner.  We didn't do turkey since its just the two of us.  But..today I am thankful for a working refrigerator.  That I had the money set aside in savings to buy one.   And for cold water!

Love you guys!  Have a great day today!

I am safe back at home.

Yesterday Mom and I went to Wal-Mart for pillows. By then it was more like Light-Grey-Friday. The checkout clerk was grumpy though, and confirmed that Friday had been black earlier, very black. Apparently the recent move to Black Thursday has not lightened up Friday at all, just stretched the ordeal out longer.

By the time we got to Wal-Mart around 830 Friday night there was hardly anyone. Only thing we bought that was on sale was a shop vac.

Started staying at the new house on wednesday. The rest of the furniture should be moved today and hopefully we will be done with the old place. I haven't set foot back over there since leaving for work Wednesday and I don't intend to.

Dad is in the hospital. Pneumonia that apparently was completely obvious on his ct from 2 weeks ago but none of his doctors cared to pay attention to.

Oh, about the turkey... after five people ate all they could hold, we had a gallon and a half of leftovers. I took half of it home with me. Wound up giving the rest to somebody at work today, with the advice to use it in something like a stew or turkey & dumplings, because it was cooked last Thursday and we probably want to short circuit bacterial growth.

In related news, a turkey sandwich on sourdough toast with some good cheese is an awesome way to start the day. It should be lightly toasted until the cheese is warm, but not quite melted. No mustard or mayo needed.

I NEEDED drugs to deal with that.
And Chey loved it. I was a bit miffed though. They had one beautiful 1880 style white carriage, and the other looked like a hay wagon with car tires. When it was our turn, they tried to put us on the hay wagon. I told Lou if we were going on a carriage ride, it was going to be in a carriage. If I wanted to ride on modern tires like the hay wagon, I'd roll the windows down, drive the block real slow, and save the money. Needless to say, we rode the authentic carriage.
And I'm over the error messages too, but I can't do anything about them and don't know who to contact. About half way afraid to tell Scott because he may  go back to the "we need to shut it down" phase. I'd rather deal with error messages than lose it. :-(

It'll keep everything neat and clean looking and still let me enjoy my hobby.
And I spent the day tinkering with my antennas and finally have them where I want them, I think.

Two MORE? So how many does that make total? 

And do multiple antennas work together to increase signal reception? Or do you have to switch to the antenna that sounds better at a given time?

Three. And you switch between antennas depending on what band (frequency) you are on..

So does one antenna specialize in a certain band, but if the signal is strong enough one of the other antennae can cover it? Or are all three absolutely essential to get messages over the whole spectrum?

The wire antenna that the new towers will support (currently being supported by temporary supports) will cover at least three different bands for US-wide use, mainly, thanks to a device called a tuner. It's designed for 30 to 500 mile use mainly. My main antenna covers the overseas/worldwide contacts.
 Truth is, a wire antenna can be used with a tuner on pretty much all bands, but the main antenna does it much better

Yeah, well it's not all that easy to keep cats IN a yard either. You try telling a cat what to do. =^.^=

Just don't ever feed the cats and occasionally maybe yell and throw pebbles at them. Cats don't usually go where they know they are not wanted. Throwing pebbles at them won't hurt them but it will convey a definite message.

What are they doing, leaving tracks on your car?

Time to up the ante. The best way to keep a cat out of somewhere is to make that somewhere unpleasant for the cat, so it's time to start spraying stuff that cats think is stinky. You can get cat ward off spray at amazon.com I think.

This was my first experience with unemployment, and while it wasn't completely painless, I'm thankful that employers pay into that! I'm also very thankful for my job because without their generosity in thanking me for my time, we would have been in a world of hurt these past two months.  I may not have been able to spend the extra money on what I had originally planned, but we haven't had to worry about him only getting some money on unemployment. God doesn't always fix our problems right off the bat, or keep us from going through the problems, but I really feel like He's always planned several steps ahead preparing our path.

I would greatly appreciate your prayers for my husband's sister. There's too much history there to spell out in a post online, but she is in dire need of a God touch to change her life. She's addicted, she has health problems, she has relationship problems both with her boyfriend and all of her family and his family, and I'm very concerned that their son is about to be taken away. I know that would crush our nephew, but she is shutting us all out because we don't agree with the choices she's made/making, and because we cannot really help her anymore. I've never encountered this family dynamic before, so it's been blowing my mind how dysfunctional this family can get. They're just base good people, but tempers and bad choices just have created an ugly situation. My heart hurts for her and our nephew.

I'm thankful for my quiet little back office that I can play what I want in it with no interruption. Usually, Blues, southern gospel, esp. Hinsons, and occasionally some old school Phillips Craig and Dean, WhiteCross and a smattering of NeedToBreathe and OneDay. Just depends on my mood. And presently, I'm listening to trading time...
Whatever happened to that 26-CD player you said you had? Can't you bring that to work? :D

Also... No Hemphills? No Downings? No Cathedrals? No Gold City Quartet?

Quote from: MsJennJenn on December 05, 2017, 03:05:12 PMI met a cat when I first moved into my new house. He liked to roll around on the ground.
But I haven't seen him since thank the Lord. Was gonna have issues. Cus he also liked to meow/howl.

Sounds like you met a girl cat... In heat. Beans acts exactly like that when she is going thru her heat. Lasts about a week. Like normal womanly things.


It supposed to snow here tonight and tomorrow..

It was 70 degrees on Monday. I'll believe snow when I actually see it.

I am currently sitting on my bed with the heater on, and my own fireplace heater cranked up and I don't wanna get up and get dressed for church tonight. This bed is cozy and my room is warm and it's cold and wet outside and I just don't wanna!

I feel blah and have been coughing a bit today... But not sick enough to cal in to church.

If I was a child again and asked to stay home, I am just sick enough for Mom to make me go and drag me up for prayer.

That usually made me feel better real quick. No prayer needed. Lol

I hate most quartets. And if you ever hear the Cathedrals- excepting the radios from the 1930s called cathedrals- playing near me, you know I am being forced to listen to them. Ick. Hemphills-meh. They're ok.

I did nothing constructive today. Was surprised by a visit yesterday evening from a good friend from Tennessee. He came over, visited, and picked up some ham radio equipment I'm loaning him. While he was here, we talked on the radio with some of his club members back home, one of which is a 102 year old retired rocket scientist. Very cool. Then we stayed up until 2 am talking- He's a great godly man, and a former cop, as well as a ham, so we had much to talk about.

I've not gotten myself more clothed than my sleep pants today, and the only time I stepped outside was to grill steaks for dinner.
I expect tomorrow to be a near repeat, only altered by church attendance.

It's a Monday. Been a busy morning. It's slowed down a touch and I'm trying a new ready made penne pasta dish I bought at Walmart. Not bad. Good, quick and filling.
Looks like it's gonna be a busy evening too. Supposed to be in the 70s today, then later in the week, back down to highs in the 50s.

And lastly- My pastor is tormenting me. He's offered to sell me his Jeep Wrangler at a special price. I want it, bad. But, I can't sell the 'vette and can't swing another payment right now. :pound:

Corvettes, yes. But Rusty and Sam are unique vehicles. If you ever had a 1950s or older ride, you'd know they have their own personalities and quirks...to the point that one could almost believe they have human traits. LOL. Barbarian.

I'm leaving work now (I was late by an hour, and I've stayed an hour now to make up for that.. lol) to go with the rest of our Sunday School staff (also family.. but that's a dead horse story if I've ever seen one LOL) to get presents for the kiddos for Sunday. I do enjoy watching the kiddos open the presents. If only we could feel the joy they feel again..

For the second straight night, Chey is spending the night away from home. Last night it was with one school friend. Then tonight it is a sleepover with another. I wonder why she doesn't want to be here at home?!?
Lou and I took advantage to go out to eat and buy a metric ton of things Chey wants for Christmas. I think we covered everything on her list- ammo for her "gorgeous beautiful Kimber", books, and Barbies. Now I'm chillin' at home while Lou has called it a night early since she has to work at 5 tomorrow.

Dad had to go back on the respirator last night. We've been told there is slim chance he will come back off of it. His respiration rate is double what a normal persons is and it's literally wearing his body out. He told mom the other day that he wants to fight but his body is fighting him. Thankful for a boss who stepped in on the last Saturday and took my shift so I could stay at the hospital today.

Thank you all. It's not too bad with people around but when it's only the 3 of us (4 with Brandon), we all get weepy. Visitation and service is tomorrow. Thankfully my boss gave me the week off, which I was surprised at since I work retail and it's right before Christmas.

In addition to the physical headache, I wound up having to work a bit from home tonight after learning one of my parolees, who is a sex offender, failed his polygraph, indicating he has messed up sexually. Now I'm worried out the wazoo that I missed something I shoulda caught and have spent the last hour auditing his casefile...I REALLY wish they'd take that particular type of criminal from my supervision...

 It was borderline dreary here today, not that I saw much of it. Just now got back home- I came in and immediately took a call from Lou wanting to meet up with friends for dinner. Not what I wanted , but I went....since she has to work the next three days, I guess she deserves it. Still have no idea what time she is getting off this weekend either. :pound:

I'd tell you it gets better- and it does, kinda. It goes to a dull ache, but that's life... for me, my parents' birthdays and the dates of their passing is hardest on me, which is partially why from the middle of September until January I'm generally more withdrawn in person.
And it's been rainy all day. Dreary. The kind of day that you want to cuddle up with a good book, a glass of drink and the Chihuahuas with the fireplace going. And that's exactly what I intend to do when I get home. :-p

The past 2 days I've only cried 1st thing in the morning when I wake up and remember he is gone. Last night we went to a retro arcade that just opened. They specialize in pinball which was dads favorite.

Ok. I did have 2 other teary moments though. Yesterday I was cleaning out the bag I used for my funeral clothes and found a random seashell from the beach and today I told Brandon I was going to mom and Dad's later and caught myself.

So far today I've snuggled the animals, put on worship music, and am on the couch with the bible. I really want to finish up my read through this year while it is still this year so I can get my certificate at church.

It weren't an app. It was a case of Burrito and Jerm having a manly bear hug- with me trapped in between. :pound:

 In short,I looked like that Veruca Salt kid in the Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie, after she was ran through the juicer. Gumby-ish.

Got up and went to the first 10 am service I've been to in years. Looked up in time to see one of my one troublesome parolees come in the church. He approached the pastor, spoke with him, then the pastor pointed towards me. Dude says" You look familiar". I said, "I should, I'm your parole officer."
Long story short, he suddenly decided he just wanted prayer after he recognized who I was. We prayed for him and I watched him through the service because I know his history and while I'm pleased he was in church and hope he's changed, given said history, I wasn't gonna trust him ten feet.
Then I came home and cooked a huge ham, and we enjoyed a pre-Christmas dinner with friends.
Oh, and in between church and the ham, I ran by Walmart to get some rolls. Was instantly reminded that yoga pants are never appropriate, even less so if the wearer has a belly that reaches to their knees.
Hope everyone has a great Merry Christmas.

May the soundtrack of your life for the next year be "Last Christmas" by Wham for that.  **Scratch that. For the first time, I actually looked that song up and played it. I made it through the first verse. That is torture. I couldn't wish that on my worst enemy. That stupid thing would be outlawed by the Geneva Convention if played around prisoners of war..

Urgh. I am kinda awake. And it is cold out. And I've felt like crud the last two days, with congestion and fever. Needless to say, I suspect my ambitious plans to do tile work are not coming true this week..

Back at work today. I enjoyed seeing my family!! Jeremy started his job today with orientation. He was recognized at the swearing-in as a veteran. He got a special lanyard and a special pin for his uniform. I'm so thankful that God allowed him to be full-time. The other ones hired are all part-time. His provision really shows every single time! Life's not easy, sometimes it looks like it's not going "our way," but He works it out for our good!

Plus, I'm really glad Jeremy is excited about this job! Makes mornings a little easier - for a while at least. LOL.. I told him when I knew he'd be getting up before me in the mornings now that I was going to be getting some of the best sleep ever. Something about hearing an alarm clock, knowing it's not yours, and being able to go back to sleep.. :D


Mini - I know those parolees are difficult, but I'm glad they have someone as dedicated as you to watch over them. It's good to hear about people in such important positions who care about how they do their job! :D

Heather, I'm going to keep you in my prayers. I haven't lost a parent yet, but I have lost all 3 of the living grandparents I started my life with. They've each been difficult, and I still get teary-eyed about them when I think of them. We try to focus on the good memories we had with them, so that slowly, I'm remembering them with a smile instead of just tears for my sadness of losing them. I'm so thankful for the lives they lived and the love they gave, each in their own special way!

Bah. I'm not feeling friendly now. Been sick since Christmas day. Fever, chills the whole drill. I've done nothing but sit in the recliner. Lou drug me out to a bbq restaurant today and I didn't even eat more than two bite of the bbq sandwich. I'm ready for my summer back.

And on top of that, I get an email from HR today and discover in contradiction of what they told us earlier in the year, it matters not one bit if you have vacation scheduled or not. Why does this matter? Because state employees can only carry over 240 hours of vacation time a year.  (They had told us if we scheduled it in advance, it would be the same as using it.)
Which means that as of the 1st, I lose north of $1500 worth of vacation time.  For the second year. Next year, they can bite me, I'm taking every stinking minute they owe me.

We had 1-3 inches of snow here in Terra Haute for Christmas though. And yesterday it never got above THREE degrees.
The cold is about to make me have an anxiety attack.

I am. LOL. Unfortunately, While I have figured out that my employer wants 2 days work in each day, I have not figured out how to benefit from two days vacation in one day. Ain't no way around it, they've got me again. But it won't happen for the next 13 years before I retire....I'll take every Friday off, and deal with the ton of appointments on Monday before I let that happen.

And it is cold. Too cold for me to get anything I had planned done. I haven't got propane for the shop, so I can't go out there. I'm stuck reading a book and repairing things like Lou's steamer mop, in the house, where it is toasty.

Well at least that's ONE way you're not like Fred. Remember how I made a big list of the ways you were similar to my uncle Fred? I finally found a way you are not like him. This is his kind of weather here. Too cold for everybody else is just right for Fred.

Guys, I've said it before. I.DON'T. LIKE. COLD!!!

I finally was able to doze off at nearly 3am. Wife woke me at 6, our minister friend who is currently living at the church in a travel trailer until they get their house, was having problems with the propane heat. As soon as it got light, I went out to go help- only to find my truck dead as a door nail. I hadn't driven it in a couple of weeks. Took and hour to get it started and warmed up, at which time I discovered Bro Wilson had went over and fixed the problem.
So I went back to bed for a couple hours..
 It's still not gotten above 25 degrees and the wind is blowing making it even colder. I am totally not a fan.

That is a very good thing. A fan would make it feel even colder...

I still maintain what I have said before - I'd rather have too cold than too hot. Too cold, you can keep adding layers of clothing. When it's too hot there's only so far you can go the other way before you get arrested.

 It's been below freezing all day. As expected I had 5 days of work due today. Got the majority done, then realized about a quarter to 5 that I had worked well past quitting time. I decided that the work will be there tomorrow.
It's so cold here, we cancelled prayer meeting and will probably cancel church tomorrow night. Our old heating system just can't keep up.

 And I am currently fighting guilt and resentment. Resentment, because my friends, complete with 4 loud kids, are coming over to stay the night on a night that I am whipped and got about 2 hours sleep last night.
Guilty, because I feel that way, when they are in a situation to need to come stay the night- due to this blasted weather and their travel trailer, which the manufactures of apparently thought would be pulled mainly in Florida.

 Obviously I am a terrible sinner.

Sure there is.  And it would be much more pleasant if we had about 2 feet of snow.

I'm sitting pretty this week. I worked my tail off in overtime this past weekend and week to try to get most of my 'pressing' work done at my real job so that I could come with my husband to St Louis (Hazelwood actually), for his USPS academy this week. We arrived last night and we will be here thru Sunday. I've brought along the church books to work on since those are also due at the end of the month. Trying to help myself out towards the end of the month with a few less things on my plate at once!

BUT - It's SO cold. I'm so thankful I'm going to stay in the hotel all week except for when he gets back from training and we go grab supper. We're like kids when we get to stay at a hotel. It is now the high of 23 degrees outside, expected to get to 1 degree. ugh. I had two coats and a scarf on last night when we were unloading our stuff into the hotel, and I was FREEZING. They do have snow on the ground still from whenever it snowed last. I like that white stuff.. I know that's not popular opinion on here LOL.

I just used a pocket knife to cut a block of colby jack cheese to eat with the grapes I just washed in a bowl in the sink. I forgot to bring forks, so I'll have my microwaved Hormel roast & sour cream & chive mashed potatoes for lunch tomorrow after I buy a fork at the store tonight, hahaha. Sleeping in, snacking, pajamas to work in a toasty room. Thanks USPS for my mini vacation! haha..

:lol: Of course I did. But I am reminded how thankful I am we stopped with one child. They have four- two of which are under the age of 2, and cry frequently.  And they are still here- Lou and Sis Lawrence went shopping today and haven't made it back yet, leaving Bro Lawrence with the kids. I just got in about an hour ago...
