Empty Nest

Its the first of November....NaBloPoMo

Time that youre supposed to post every day.  Wouldn't that be a hoot, everyday?  I'm going to try....Today's does is Three Rivers....I love this show and.....he is the most beautiful man on TV today...I love this show..  Did you know that sometimes you have to rip apart the whole thing to put it back again...............Just saying..  Happy November 1st everyone

What a day

I'm not complaining about yesterday or anything but today kinda stunk.  Everyone at work was in a real quiet or lousy mood.  I don't know if its because everyone stayed up late or didn't like the results but it was an odd day.  How about you?  Did you notice anything?
I did go to the Dr this morning.  I'm free for three months.  The dose of Advair is the highest there is but...its working so I'm trying it for three months and if it still works, they'll lower it....Go figure that one!!!  I'm so enjoying NOT coughing my butt of that I'm really not looking forward to cutting the dose down..Not no but hell no..   
Now on to planning Holiday meals..........

Best laid plans.............

I tried and at least I voted.  Good luck!!!

Pre-election blah

First....Good luck Phil Fulmer you were a good coach...most of the time..
Second.  I'm not going into who I voted for or why.  Just know that I did  BUT....there is some county around here and they are totally inundating us with ads.  For two people who are running for some post that controls taxes.  Ones a man...we'll call him Beany.  Now if you're supposed to believe Beany. his opponent has done nothing but raise the taxes.  Not only that she hasn't paid hers.  She's  been late 5 yrs in a row.  She looks (in his pictures only) like she's been rode hard and.....you know the rest.   I'm not sure that some of them have any teeth.  So, right after that commercial an add for her by her people comes on.  We'll call her Lanie.  She looks like a dignitary, all professional and not a thing questionable about her....But then comes  the ad against him that she (her people) put together.  MY GOD.. you'd think he was a big fat (which he may be) mob leader.  He's raised taxes, spends all the county's money on expensive meals, expensive trips etc.  One thing, according to the pictures of him, he hasn't spent a dime on bath water, toothpaste, hair brush, decent clothes etc.  After that one comes Beany's good commercial and he's all  handsome etc.  This has been going on for about 2 weeks....steady.   You'd NEVER know that there was a national election going on.  Those commercials run right in a row and are so damned annoying....Politicians
Happy night before election....No matter who you will or did vote for.  Just vote

TURN YOUR CLOCKS BACK

I mean to post this a while back but there was this Titans game that kept getting my attention.  The Titans have won again so I'm far more relaxed.  God knows college football in this area just isn't what it used to be..
Its beautiful here folks.  Its 72 here and I've got all of the doors and windows open.  I do so love this time of year. 
For more adventure today I moved all clothes into the closet they're going to be in until Spring comes along.  Winter here isn't usually too bad so you can't put the short sleeves etc completely away.  You have to keep them easy to get too.  So..two closets.  One current weather, other back up current weather. 
Ok, thats enough to bore you today.  I did win about 132.00 from a football board.  Kind of pick em board and it had been carried over so when I won it was fine...I did have to share it with another player but that's ok.  I went shopping today.  MMMM
Have a wonderful Sunday and if you're taping GAR ask it to tape longer than an hour cause CBS has the 4pm game here..and everytime CBS has the 4pm game GAR starts late and ends late.   Just sayig

Tumblers...

Got together with some friends last night and the subject of "Tervis Tumblers" came up.  I had never heard of them but they're supposed to be the best in the world.  The last forever and if anything goes wrong you just send them back and they replace them.  So, they told me  you could get them at Bed,Bath and Beyond.  So I went by there this morning looking for them. 
I found them.  They had them in Clear, 13.99 for the great big 24 ounce tumblers.  They had them in UT Lady Vols, $13..99 and......they had the Vols (big orange T) mugs.  24 oz just like the other two.  $9.95 ea.  I guess when you stink...you really stink. 
I have two. 
PS, this is day one of Nablopomo   I will not swear to a comment every day but I'll sure try...Understand this, I'm plain boring......

3 Day Weekend!!!

As if Friday isn't good enough, its also day one of a three day weekend.  How wonderful is that.?  I took today off for two reasons  One, I've got some time I need to use before the end of the year (giving is good, giving back.....not so good) and we're having the fund raiser tonight "Taste for Tots".  My friends own a small store that sells home brewing supplies for making beer and wine.  Every year we have this fund raiser where you come for the fellowship, i.e. tasting wine and beer, and have appetizers. The cookbooks are $5.00 and there is an entry fee and then we have an auction for some items and a raffle for others.  We have a ball and raise money for a few of the needy families at the crisis center. It's all good and of course, since the appetizers are free, guess what I'll be doing today..........You got it, making appetizers.
It is now 11/30.  The end of NaBloPoMo.  I'll now probably have brilliant ideas to post every single minute now...heheh.    This was fun and I'm sure I'll do it again next  year.
Yes, I watched the football game last night.  Very disappointed that the Packers lost but it looks like the 388 yr old Farve made his appearance last night.  I know, he was hurt but it still brought bad memories......I'm still pulling for them but I have a bad feeling that with Romo, the Cowboys are back and better than ever...
Have a great Friday and wish me luck ok?

A Football issue

Tonight the Green Bay Packers play  the Dallas Cowboys.  Yep you herd me, Thursday night pro-football.  This should be the best NFC game of the year.  They're both 10-1,  AND...unless you have the satellite or are willing to pay the Cable Company extra to get it, you will not have a chance to watch it in your home,  NFL is carrying this game and a few more this season, So, I'll get to see it because I decided to pay for the damn games, but I'm not thrilled with it,  I have heard that there are some cable systems that won't even carry the NFL network.
Of course anyone who doesn't give a hoot about football just doesn't care and that's OK but there are millions and millions who do care.   I guess I'd try to figure out how  to put the NFL network under.  I've heard that they want all the games blowing off CBS, FOX, and NBC.  You know, the ones that got this going so well..............I've heard that the NFL games stink on their network   I'll let you know!!
Any one have view's on this?  Are you going to watch the game?

HUMP DAY....

Three days and this posting every day thing is over,  I'm not complaining, its just a bit difficult.  First of all, I'm boring. Terribly boring and not much prospect here for me getting less boring.  Geeze.  I usually don't have trouble Monday-Friday but this weekend stuff  shish...I also hate to have to say I didn't do anything on the weekend!!
BUT.  This Friday we are having a "wine tasting" fund raiser.  We've got things to auction off, the cookbooks, etc,   There is a "donation" to get in etc.  We usually raise enough money to give two families, chosen by the crisis center, a complete Christmas.  Food and all.  It's absolutely a wonderful evening.  NOW.  Here's what I need..  Recipe for appetizers please.....Easy to make, easy to take and likable.   I can only come up with a can of black olives.   All the recipes I've found call for "food processor"   Don't have one and I'm not buying one to use once a year.  So if you have a recipe that I can use.....please share it with me ok? I'll be so grateful I'll send you all of the leftovers!!!  (PS.there never are any leftovers).  It's Friday evening by the way and if you're in the are, "Come on down" and help out!!
Helio wins!!!!        Yay Helio.  Since Marie Osmond shot herself right in the foot on Monday Helio was my second pick so I couldn't be happier.   Wonder when he'll switch to Nascar?

PS. Pins and  Needles was a broadway play

NATIONAL PINS AND NEEDLES DAY YAY!!!!

Did you know that?  I didn't either  but it is.  Now, why?  What is Pins and Needles Day?  How did it get its name and...does anyone care?
Dancing w/ Stars.  I do believe Marie sealed her firm exit last night.  I tried to get onto ABC to vote (for the first time) and couldn't load it.  That doll dance..OMG.  I was screaming for her to stop....I'd like to see her win but if she can't then the male dancer.  Mel is my third choice..
Good God, someone keeps stealing from the Goodwill center.Go figure.
Have a nice Tuesday everyone....

MONDAY....AND RAINING

Here's the beginning of back to work.  This, I am so not ready for..There should be some kind of law that if its raining, you and stay home...
Maxi is absolutely exhausted.  He had so much fun there but since its been a week since he's slept all day....well he's looking for sleep right now and that's it. The only problem is, when he goes out he pees....that's all he'll do in the rain.  This could mean a little/large gift when I get home tonight.  eeeewwwww
I hope everyone had as wonderful of a weekend as I did.  I would post pictures but...well, they're on flicker for friends and family.  You know who you are.  I did find one and its actually one of my favs

This is Sweetie, Zoots dog, that they saved a few years ago.  Isn't she just a beauty???

MEDIUM BLACK SATURDAY???

I'm back home and no trouble with the car.!!  Another reason to be thankful.  I had a wonderful Thanksgiving trip.  We all got to spend so much time together.  I got to know my granddaughter better and she's a doll.  I haven't seen my son and his fiance since last March, what a wonderful time we all had.  And of course my wonderful daughter hosted a great Thanksgiving dinner.  She cooked every bit of it, with no help from me.  Oh my goodness we ate everything and lots and lots of it. 
SIL and I watched a lot of football both days.  Mostly Friday though. His team, Alabama is playing tonight and UT is playing right now.  I just love sitting down with him and talking about our two universities and their football teams.
I came home and put a turkey in the crock pot and started by laundry.  I'm trying to keep busy because I'm already missing my children and all of the family and I'm afraid if I think about it a lot, it will only get worse. 
I thought about looking for a tree today but suicide is not in my lifestyle.  I may get up early tomorrow and head out to the early stores in one of the malls.  I want a prelit tree but only 6' tall. 
Have a great balance of the day folks. 

THE DAY AFTER...

What a wonderful Thanksgiving.  The food was super (and oh god did I eat plenty of it), and the company was equal.   Of course my entire family was there and that was just a great reunion and Zoot's husbands family was there too and they are great people too so "a good time was had by all!!"
One more day, together and I go back Saturday am.  Xzhibit and his fiance are not leaving until Sunday.  I do think there is one thing I'm pretty sure we're not doing today ....shop.  Not today.  I know I may get a small prelit Christmas tree though.  Probably not this weekend but the Zoots have one and its beautiful.....Absolutely beautiful.   Its 9' tall.  I've got some pictures I'll post when I get home.. 
BTW.. This room has a microwave, small refrigerator w/ freezer.  Not so bad folks, not at all...
Have a great day folks...............

WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY

Well, I'm off.  I'm on my way to see my family and I could NOT be more excited.  I'm so praying that there isn't awful traffic because there is supposed to be dreadful weather.  I am so thankful for this opportunity and am looking so forward to spending this holiday with the family that I love so much.  Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday and this is the reason.  Family and love.  Nothing better anywhere.
Everyone who is traveling, be safe and have a wonderful Holiday

Testy Tuesday

Well, I got most of the cleaning and laundry done yesterday.  I hate to come home to a godawful mess.  Now all I have to do is iron the clothes that I'm taking, color my loverly locks that I just got cut and get out the damn fans that I put away.  It is freaking HOT here.  From what I've heard the rain that's coming through is bring cold weather but not yet...so what do I take?  Really?  When the season changes right in the middle of your trip...poses a bit of a problem. 
Oh yeah, and if you're planning on shopping today............it's awful.  Everyone in the entire world is doing just that.  and they're also not very nice.  There was one beotch in Walmart that thought she was going to tell them to open a "self-service" register just for her.  Needless to say he wouldn't and she got behind this one gentleman who was slowly ringing up has sales and what a witch..  I kept thinking that here's one reason not to be "holiday happy".  I resisted cussing her but let me tell you it was difficult. 
Happy two days before Thanksgiving.!!!

Happy Monday

I am home....on vacation and when I woke up this morning the "feeling of Thanksgiving" was in my head.  I've got quite a bit to do but....I just want Wednesday to get here so we can leave and start the holiday,  Thanksgiving if my favorite holiday ever.  I remember as a kid, the only thing anyone did on Christmas was play with toys and make one hell of a lot of noise.(there were 7 of us) but Thanksgiving was family sitting around a table, eating wonderful food and enjoying each other,  That's what I've always loved about Thanksgiving.  It always felt like a concentration of love and joy.  I don't have one bad memory about Thanksgiving.   How 'bout you?  What does  your head/heart say when its Thanksgiving?

FIRST VACATION DAY!!!

I got Maxi groomed and he looks beautiful.  I talked to my son on the phone and he inspired me to fix ribs, so that's exactly what I'm doing.  It was in the 20's this morning but its 58 now and nice.
What am I doing now you ask?  I'm watching Vanderbilt beat the total sh*t out of UT ...In our own stadium.  And to think I pd to watch this.  Grrrrr. 
I bought a larger piece of luggage too.  I only had a little "carry on" and its the one I used when I went to Huntsville the last time and it was too small.  Especially my last trip was supposed to be 2 days and ended up more than that.  I also only want one piece of luggage and this one surely will hold more than enough for 3 dayhs.   
I'm off too cook some more.   Have a great day. 

TGIF

Oh yeah today is Friday.....and at 5 pm today I will be on vacation..Yeah me!!!  Of course that means that I'll be closer to the day we go to the Zoots for Thanksgiving  AND  Xzhibit and his fiancee will be there too.  It should be a blast. 
Did you watch Survivor?  This is not a spoiler but....good god have you ever seen a living human being that thin?  I'm so afraid she's going to break in half. 
How 'bout that indictment against Bonds..  Considering I listen to Sports talk radio, guess what I've been hearing for the last 16 or so hrs.  They're starting to get annoyingly repetitive now...
One more question about TV...Are any of you Criminal Minds addicts?  Have you been for a  while?  See, I've been watching that since the first show. I fell in love with it promptly but......it seems now that It's just plain WAY TOO detailed.  The show from this past Thursday just about made me sick.  Now I'm no prude etc but I am seriously having to do a double take and if it keeps being as bad as it has....I may have to stop...
Happy Friday everyone.  It's 31 here.......geeze

DBF

Well,  I didn't kill anyone so......there (below) sits my little baby car.!!  She's a beauty isn't she.  I didn't drive her around much last night (it was pouring like hell, thunder tornado warnings etc) but while I did she ran beautifully.   I forgot how much stuff is on this car. They had taken the headlights off of Auto and I almost killed myself trying to find the lights!!!
Now, I have a dilemma...It won't keep me awake but I'd sure like advice.  The insurance Co sent me a check for the repairs they said it needed about 2 KS ago. So, since I went there yesterday I wrote the check.  It also included my deductible.  So, the phone rang last night and it was the woman at the dealer.  I had made a mistake on the check.  It was supposed to be "fifty-four dollars and 00/100"  What I wrote was  "two hundred and 54/100".  (I let the bank make out most of my checks). Now, its not awful, it won't hurt me or my account because it's not what it should be.  So, she asked when I can come and fix it...............................mmmmmmmm.......Mommy....................................................
I told he I'd be there today around 5:30...  What do you think, ?   Should I call her around  4 and tell her I can't make it?  How about Friday?  then be busy and I'll see ya Sat or Monday..  I was just thinking of a little bit of pay back.  But, since that's where I will for sure take my car for service???  Maybe I should just take it today.  What do you think?

Happy Hump Day

I've decided, there are only two reasons I'll mention this car again.   I got it (which is preferable), or I finally blew up and actually just killed them all for taking a month...'nuf said.
Now on to Dancing w/ Stars.   Yeah!!!!!  Marie made it through another round.  I've always loved her and this recreation of here career is wonderful.  I so want her to win and I wasn't sure whether it would be her or Cameron last night.  Lets face it, Cameron is easy on the eyes..Oh yeah, but I still prefer Marie.  Of course that hateful judge, Carrie, may do her best to get Marie outta there.  Anyone else have issues with Carrie this year.  I don't remember her being so damn critical.  I'm babbling, aren't you thrilled.?  I'm not going to say who went home last night but it wasn't Marie .  The Tuesday night show is so bad that I can never stay awake to watch the whole thing.....Its on ABC.com
**football fans..Indy has lost Dwight Freeney for at least 4 weeks if not the entire rest of the season.  bye bye second Super Bowl, if it is season ending***
Off to work everyone, have a great day.  Its going to rain here and boy do we need it...

Happy Tuesday

Good morning everyone.  It's Tuesday and I've been awake since about 3 am.  MMMM Life is good.  (wait until this lack of sleep hits!)
Did you watch Amazing Race on Sunday?  Oh man, I hated that the two preachers left.  They were just about my favorite.  I loved it when one of them said "God doesn't really care if we win this or not". LMAO.  'Bout time someone said that so all of the other losers stop blaming him when they mess up.  You can probably tell that I still don't know the names of all of the people but so far, the one's I like the most are the Goth's.  They seem like two great people who know how to get along.  This may change but for not they're my fav's.  NOW. who do I really really dislike.   The Daddy who won't shut up.  God how hurtful is he, and to his own daughter.  I wanted someone to smack him up the side of his face..  I hope they go next, but only because of him.  I like his daughter fine but having to listen to him is just too much.
Oh. Listen to this.  Today its going to be 65, tomorrow 72, and in the 40's Thursday.  Geeze, no wonder my sinus's are going nuts
Off to work...Have a lovely Tuesday and.............I SHOULD GET MY CAR BACK TODAY!!!! Keep in mind, I said SHOULD.  You'll know if I do, for sure

IT'S MONDAY AGAIN!!

I'm so excited.  The car is supposed to be ready tomorrow.  How wonderful it that.  Of course now we get to find out just how helpful the car rental place is.  They've advertized that they are..come and get ya etc.  Well, I need someone to take me from the rental place to the car dealer.  About 1-1/2 miles down the road is all.  So, barring any unseen instances etc, I'll be in my brand new car tomorrow..  And of course, its going to rain.  At least I need to get it washed.  You know what I have really missed?  Heated seats.  They came with this car, and I was looking forward to using them.  It didn't get really cold until the car was in ICU..geese..
Oh, to all of you people who are off today.......enjoy.   Happy Veterans Day.

Some things ......

So, I'm on the couch reading the paper.  You know, the coupons etc.  and here I come across the ad for "sweats" in different colors.  And thanks to one of my dearest blogging friends all I could think about is  "does her underwear match her sweats"?  Happens every time I see that ad.  Thanks Laur...

It's better!!

This has been a very unusual day.  Number one.  I have accomplished nothing but laundry.  I don't know why but there is a TON of it after just one week.  Or maybe it because its cold now and the clothes are heavier, either way..there's plenty of it.  and I made some vegetable soup to eat tonight.  Its not done yet but it smells good. 
My stomach has been acting up so much I figure the blander the better.  I keep telling myself that it'll get better once the car business gets settled and guess what........the car is in the body shop!!   That is good news.  That means, as best I can tell, that the parts are all on it and its running fine so they sent it to the body shop to paint the bumper.  She told me that it should be ready TUESDAY!!!   How wonderful is that.  I will have been without my brand new car for nearly a month.  I only had it 2-3 weeks.  I bought it 9/25 and the accident was 10/15...Tuesday will be 11/13.......geeze.   I really can't wait.  My mood is improving to I'm hoping the tummy issues will too. 
The Vols won today, that is good.  At this point we may be the winners of the SEC east and go to the championship game in Atlanta.  Do I think it'll happen.. NYET..  Right now Ohio State is losing.  That would be funny and I'd love it.....
My SIL ran in his 1/2 marathon today and according to my daughter he did very well so I'm passing on congrats to him.  Running 13-1/2 miles is just fantastic..............
Off to fold clothes...Have a great evening everyone..

Friday!!!!! T G I F

Did you watch "Survivor" last night?  Did you like it?  I keep trying to get caught up in this group but.....not so much.   James is my favorite and I'm thrilled that he didn't go home.  I'm glad the one that did go home went, but there are two others that need to go too.   That split vote last night could make the balance of the votes verrrrrry interrrrresting.
I came home from work yesterday with another tummy attack.  This is killing me literally.  I must have a bug or something because when I got home, I laid on the couch, and slept until 5:15 pm.  When I woke up I felt OK, but the tummy issues came back again.  I woke up this morning and still want to sleep, but I decided to give it a try.........issue is, the tummy is starting again.
It needs to leave me along because I am supposed to get my car back Monday and they absolutely have to be ready for my good mood, not a bad stomach!!!   grrrrrrr.
It getting warm here guys. It's only in the 40's this morning and its going to be 62 this afternoon.  Pretty much all of that over the weekend.   I'm so looking forward to it.
UT-Arkansas take place at 12:30 pm Saturday.  Its here too.  Shopping early in the am is not an option.   Must shop after 12:30...........heheheh
Have a great day folks

DBF

Its morning and let me tell you, I could have slept until noon today.  Knowing when my car should be ready has made the past few hours much  more relaxing that the past few weeks.  I usually get together with some friends on Wed night..Not last night.  All I could think about was sleep.  I dozed on and off while sitting on the couch, finally gave up and Maxi and I went to bed at 9.  I, personally, would have gone to bed at 7:30 but that's asking Maxi to hold it a long time so ...9 it was.
I know I've "bit*hed" a bit about that van I'm driving as a rental but actually it drives very well. Or, I've become so used to it that I don't know that its difficult.  I never did want a van everyone but if you have to have one this Caravan is pretty nice.  My only one complaint is ......I'm TOO short to scrape the damn windows.   I nearly froze yesterday morning and its going to have to be done today too!!  No, I don't have a second key so I can let it run and warm up. 
I'm done whining about the car.  They ( the dealer ) said it will be fixed, probably Monday at the latest and that's what I'm holding on too.  The insurance agent had absolutely nothing to do with this so I think I can believe it this time..
Have a great day everyone.  I must get ready for work because scraping the windows and warming the darn thing up is going to take a while..

Wonderful Wednesday!!

I'm running out of thing to "discuss" here.  Especially because there are no sports ( that I watch) on.  But, did you watch Dancing last night?  I mean this particular season is full of bad things happening isn't it?  I feel so sorry for her to have to deal with something like that and I was so thrilled she made it.  I have a feeling her brothers want her to continue since they're also trying to "improve" their career.  Donnie is getting on my nerves a lot so she's not doing him any help but that's OK.  They send Jane home last night and for that I was thrilled.  She's a wonderfully graceful dancer but some of those dances require some "s*x appeal or maybe a teeny bit of rau*ch"  She was still graceful and delicate.  Bye Jane...

Ok off to work.  Have a great day and guess what I'm going to do today???huh???what do you think??   I'm going to call about my car...............Pray for me...really

Confused..here

I'm going to have to surf when I get to work and look this up.  I heard them saying on the radio that they were going to have to examine the "panels" on the space shuttle, (might have a name, I don't know it) because they  thought there was damage on lift off and they have to know how bad it really is...
Now, if I knew, or was related to anyone, I would be at least screaming at them~~ Isn't this the 3rd or 4th that they've had this same problem?  I believe so.  Can they not get busy and find some panels that they don't have to worry about?  There are humans up there and bring them back in one piece and ALIVE is essential !!  I didn't get all the details and I'll have to look it  up but for now, let it be said from my pearly whites...FIX THE DAMN PANELS
Happy Tuesday

Happy Monday

Well of course, I overslept and now I'm running late.  With today being Monday the least one can do it act like their excited since the week is  5 days long. 
Short cap on football from yesterday.....Don't like today....Colts, Phillies, San Diego and the only one I had a "small team playing interest" on (for viewing enjoyment) was San Diego.  Just like the Bears did last week, S.D got me beat this week...........grrr
Since its time to get ready for work I'll just say  Have a great Monday everyone.  I'll see if I can come up with something a bit better before the end of the day.

Breakfasts

I'm going to steal this subject from my daughter.  She posts ideas here.. in case anyone has a brain freeze.  I can maybe see myself using her ideas more than once...
Anyway, the subject of breakfast.  I remember when I was a kid, we got cereal for breakfast and the faster we were all out of the kitchen the better so Dad could eat in peace.  He, when he was home, would always get bacon, eggs (fried and over easy) and toast.  I used to think that was absolute royalty...We moved south when I was 19 and when I lived alone, I always had bacon, fried eggs and toast.
It took about 15 years to discover and taste that gravy stuff.  It also too me a while to decide it wasn't to bad.  I remember the first time I actually ate it, rather than taste it.  It was at Shoney's for a breakfast meeting.  My boss ordered "biscuit and gravy" for breakfast with a side of sausage.  I ordered the same thing.  He broke up the sausage and put it in the bowl and ate it!!  Since I was copying I did the same thing, with a prayer.  A big ol prayer but let me tell you this.  ....From that moment on I knew exactly what breakfast was...
Dammit I don't eat it very often anymore.  Ever since I learned that it was trying to kill me. You know, the heart etc.  The Dr. goes nuts over eating that but once every two weeks at the most.  I don't know of a little place that serves it around here. Shoney's still does on their breakfast bar, you can add the eggs too (scrambled) and just cover the whole damn thing with the gravy.  Its fabulous.   I do make it at home occasionally.  I get all the gravy and everything all to myself.  I try to make sure it's nowhere close to a lab appt.  Yes, southern breakfast is a wonderful way to start the day!!!!

Weekend......

Well, its Saturday morning and outside its beautiful.  Sun is shining, the birds are out there eating and having a good time and I am feeling better.  If I tell myself (or lecture myself , so to speak) that I'm acting like a baby, the damn car will be fixed and just relax,  It's working about 75% of the time!!
I just spoke with my daughter.  That aways helps no matter what.  And now I'm going to bottle my new batch of White Zin and get my nails done.  Then when I come home I'll start on the "Cookbook" for our fundraiser this year.  To anyone out there....any recipes would be greatly appreciated........
Happy Saturday

Some things...

Maybe its because I've picked up something.  God knows what but the porcelain god and I have become very close today.  I'd like to say its something I ate but I haven't eaten since Wed at lunch.  It was Subway which has never made me sick..This kind of stinks..
But as bad as this is,you know right now I feel about as bad as a human can.  Its probably self pity but I'm going to take the liberty of sharing this with you all. (both of you readers).  Both of my children are grown and don't live here anymore.  All of my sibling live out of town and even though my ex and I don't really communicate unless something "children" requires we don't see or talk to each other.  In other words, I'm totally alone.  Especially since my roommate died in 1998. 
Up until now I thought I had it all handled.  I could take care of myself no matter what.  I had friends who I knew would help me in a bind etc.  I bought the brand new car (2008 Honda Accord), paid for it totally.  The purpose was that since I was "alone" a brand new car would at keep me from having any car problems and since my daughter was in driving distance all would be fine for the trip. So if you want to know the saga go here I'm still without a car.  I've never had to deal with insurance when there has been something involving it being my fault.  Anyway, I have no idea what is wrong with the car. All I get from phone calls is " day or two".  Well its been a couple of weeks now and my insurance runs out on the rental in 1-2 wks.  Considering what the last few weeks have done, I have a right to worry.  Right now though, I feel about as lonely as a person can.  I don't have anyone to talk to when I get home in the evening, wake up in the mornings or to even meet for lunch. If I don't have a virus I've probably made myself ill worrying.  I just wish I had someone to constantly tell me to relax, everything will be OK.. Sometimes I just want a hug and there just aren't any.  This is one of the very few times I totally regret living here and living alone.
