Gettin’ that chill in the air
Nov 4th
Yes, today I felt that chill in the air that usually hits about a few weeks before snow flies. I don’t like to feel it as it gives me an ache in my bones and a deep desire to snuggle under something warm and not leave the house. But today I left the house anyway and journeyed my way out to where it is even more country and the breeze had even more room to blow.
Today I went to visit my friend Lisa. I was sharing my one stroke painting stuff with her. She seems to want to do it and work on it together, which is great. I like having some girl time. She gave me bean soup for my lunch, which I ate while she fed her granddaughter, Mya, a little red headed pipsqueak who is really struggling to talk. Poor child isn’t even 18 months old and you can just tell that she will be a little chatter box.
Tonight finds me a bit chilled and reaching for the shrug that Momma crocheted me for my birthday. It comes in handy when one is just sitting and working on the computer. Or just sitting and reading or watching TV.
Well, that is about it for my thoughts at the moment. Catch ya later.
Pardon Me While I Laugh Till I Puke…….
Nov 1st
One of my friends sent me this and I just had one of the best laughs I have had lately. The subject matter isn’t a laughing matter for some – my point is why don’t you just answer the question???
Was the question that hard???????
And if that doesn’t give you enough food for thought fodder than watch this one and listen to how often the speech changes to fit the climate of the voters.
And if you can handle reading a 236 page book with an additional 54 pages of info and documentation BEFORE the election than I would suggest you read “The Case Against Barack Obama” by David Freddoso. If you still want to vote for this clown after reading that, than may God save us all.
I really wish that Ron Paul was still on the ballot!!
Oh Bother………
Jun 3rd
Here I go again – getting out of the habit of writing on the blog on a semi-regular basis!!
Really been busy with graduations, grad parties, birthday parties and geez Louise two more Saturdays and it will be Father’s Day…………. and what are we going to do for the guys????
Been talking with two different friends about the places they want to move to and what they are looking at – one has even been bidding on a house. Now the house has a really bad leak in the roof and they would have to repair that, the inside of the attic, and the wall of the room below – not sure at this point how much that would cost them and if that plus what they are bidding on the house would really be worth the money. I told them with so many foreclosed homes on the market (that is what they are bidding on) that maybe they should just keep looking. I’ve seen quite a few that are in better shape.
The other friends are looking for something to rent. Something with 2 or 3 bedrooms, a basement and at least a bath and a half. Little bit easier to help these folks look – seems I have a knack for burying my nose in newsprint for a decent amount of the day. Ask my family – I read the newspapers, cut out articles and coupons all while watching the news and sitcoms. (They forgot all the foodie shows that I watch, and I am NOT going to remind them!!)
Found out today that the old Craftsman guarantee works on the clothes that carry that label. My father had a pair of overalls that were losing those metal thingies on the end of the straps and they wouldn’t stay on so he took those back today and the store gave him a brand new pair – no charge!! You have up to two years to exchange your item for one of the same. Thought that, that was pretty cool so wanted to share it with you.
Other than that small blurb – nothing to terribly exciting has been going on.
With that said, am heading up to bed and taking a look at the TV before lights out.
