Looking Towards Spring in Sharing 519

[Nelle]

I abbreviate it Asst. for that very reason LOL.. if I abbreviate at all.

Long week(end) yet short. Been under the weather for several days. Hoping it's on its way out the door asap.

Hoping for a quiet Monday at work.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Still sorting through stuff. I'm going through my closet now. Stuff I just never wear...

[MsJennJenn]

Had our second treatment for the hitchhikers. Everything looked good. He found 2 dead ones on the floor behind where the bed sits. So I think we're getting in the clear. We do one more treatment again in 2 weeks.

I am so sick of doing laundry lol

[Roscoe]

God said no to the promotion.
Working hard.
Having good church.
Making hell mad
Going to get more sweet corn for the youth fundraiser- bought 100 bags monday and sold out within four hours. $800 profit.
I'll get 75 to 100 more Saturday and sell it.
Might actually get Chey's living room floor finished in the next week or so

[Nelle]

MJJ - I love the hitchhikers name lol. Glad you're almost seeing the light at the tunnel end!

Roscoe - Sorry about the promotion. God must have an even better blessing down the road for you! Sometimes I wish we could see what we were saved from after the fact.. but faith wouldn't be faith then I guess haha.

@Work.

allergies have been POPPIN off. I finally had to go get some higher strength. If this doesn't snap them back into peacefulness, I'll have to hit up my doctor for some help.

[Roscoe]

Lawd. It's nearly 8 pm. I've been up since 230 am..and just had around three hours sleep before that. My sleepy is sleepy, but I am too tired to sleep.   100 more bags purchased, 56ish bags sold before 100 degrees sent me home packing. Sadly, this mean Monday I'll be back peddling produce. May have to change Rusty's cool door art for a sign that says
The "Pentecostal Produce Peddler- produce from the prophets."
 I am burnt to a crisp too.. church tomorrow.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

I'm sitting at the repair shop waiting on my dad to come pick me up. Going to get my van window repaired so I don't have to drive the big ole truck.

[MsJennJenn]

Worked all weekend doing Walmart deliveries. Have a promo to complete 40 trips from 6/15 - 6/28 and I will earn an extra $400. Too good to pass up. I've done 27/40. Only 13 to go!! But will have to work every day this week after day job to hit it!!

We did end around 530 yesterday so we could come home and rest. I got in the pool for a bit, we grilled steaks and made fresh corn on the cob I got for 33 cents lol wooo.

[Roscoe]

If I don't hear the word "corn" again until next year, I'll be ok with it.   Got up this morning and setup with over 40 bags to sell. Three of the kiddos met up with me and sat with me. Unfortunately so did a sister from the church who has never found a subject she could not expound upon. I was peopled out in ten minutes- and she stayed. She was kind enough to bring me a drink and Taco Bell's cinnamon bites, which I appreciated.... but I really wanted peace. Finally sold out at around 230 pm.  Total sold since last Monday- 200 bags of approximately 62-64 ears each bag.  At 62 ears a bag that is over 12 THOUSAND ears of corn I've been involved way too intimately with this week.
 Got home a bit after 3pm, too worn out from the heat to do anything. Next weekend is mine..  The last three weeks have been for others. I GOTTA catch up here!
But, we did manage to bring a profit of an estimated $1600 for the youth out of the two loads of corn. Even if it did make Pastor look like a burned, big jowled bloodhound, I guess it was worth it.

Now I know the secret to why your jokes are so corny.

[Roscoe]

  Lynx.
Back at work. Saw 6 clients. 7 more to go. Trying to be a people person.  Not really  working.
Over working for a living and ready to go home

[Roscoe]

So thankful  today is Friday.
I am irritated  for no good reason
It would be mama's 81st birthday  today. I miss her even after 9 years of her being gone and over twenty since we had a normal conversation,  before  dementia  took her.
Weird how fast time goes.
It's like a roll of t.p.. I JUST put it on and now the cardboard  tube is showing.

I'm sure he has a cornucopia of jokes. 

I too, am over working to live. I really want a farm house some day and it just seems like I'm never gonna get there.

[Nelle]

I'm clawing my way to the end of my day in an hour.

[Roscoe]

I have came home and stalled out. No mo work today. Hungry but don't know what I want. Don't want to go to town or spend money either.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

My kiddos have been helping me this weekend.

[Lynx]

I've got two Boston butt roasts in my refrigerator!

But today is auction day, so I will slice them up and put them in the freezer tomorrow before church.

Apparently people in Boston don't know their butts from their shoulders. A Boston butt roast is actually from the shoulder of the pig, close to the neck.

(Yes I know why it is really called that. But it's fun to say that anyway.)

[Nelle]

The skin on my head/face/ears has decided to rebel the past three weeks. I haven't dealt with this in about 10 years on my mouth/lips. Ears has been even longer. Eyes happen, but this time feels like it might be connected to the other two more so than a regular allergy issue. It's ONLY my  neck and up, so I'm not sure. BUT I at least did get an appointment on Wednesday with my doctor! The itchy and watery mess is driving me nuts haha.

[Roscoe]

Well, my weekend comes to a close.    I did get most all of the remaining tile laid- I've got four or five cuts to make and lay- then I can grout it.
Tomorrow is gonna be mucho busy. Wednesday not as much, and Then I am off for a couple days. Lou and I may run away friday and spend friday night and saturday out.

[MsJennJenn]

Well we got the call yesterday to move back to Wichita Falls (in Texas). A manager gave notice at a store in DFW so they're making moves and we'll go back to Wichita Falls. This time with Adam (husband) as the main Store Director this time. (reminder we moved from there to here in OK for hubbs to get promoted to store director). That store is very high volume so a much more busy store for him to work. Which is good, cus he's bored here already lol.

It will be within the next month we were told so July is gonna be a whirlwind again. 

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Oh wow, good thing you work from home. That'd be a mess if you didn't. It'd sure mess with YOUR job. Are you glad to be going back to Texas? When did you move last time?

[MsJennJenn]

Yea thankfully my job allows us to do these moves lol.

So before when we were in Wichita Falls in 2024 - Adam wasn't Store Director. He was just an assistant. He finally got promoted to Store Director which is why we moved here to Ardmore. So he could run his own store. But now the manager in Wichita Falls store is moving to Dallas/Ft Worth for her career path development. So they're moving Adam back to Wichita Falls to now run the store as the big boss Store Director. It's much higher volume than here in Ardmore. So more challenges etc. to help with his development also.

And yes I am excited. I like the smaller town here, but I miss not having state tax lol... and I have a friend in W. Falls.
Plus we found out yesterday that Adams dad who lives in Iowa Park (15 mins from W. Falls) is not doing well health wise. So seems like there is a reason we're heading back there. God knows.

[Roscoe]

Well. Congrats Jenn!
Made it through a very trying day, made worse by stomach issues. On Wednesday no less. So church was a prayer at a time and I was much less verbose tonight. Made it home before the demons attacked again. Praying it gets better before tomorrow. Lou and I are gonna slip away somewhere for two days

[MsJennJenn]

Had our final hitchhiker spray today and we are in the clear. No more issues hallelujah!!! 

[Roscoe]

Well. Did a bunch of nothing overly productive beyond mowing the yard today. Lou and I went to bed early. As is normal she went right to sleep and I am still awake...
