Got a Dilemma

Well, woke up way too early today and could NOT go back to sleep.... So later, i won't be able to keep my eyes open,,have to nap.  Haven't had breakfast yet, and since today is delivery day for my drugs,,lol,,, do i dare get in the shower? 

You know, i just dread holidays now.  I'm expected to take something for dinner,,,like everybody else, but,,,this year, i just don't know what.  Can't be on my feet much, so it has to be something quick and easy.  Maybe my 3 bean salad.  Maybe HJs firecrackers (everybody loves em).  Maybe just pick up some potato salad at the store...We all go to bro Gs house, and it's small and really crowded.  Little kids drive me nuts.  See what i mean?  The weather is going to be beautiful, so maybe the kids will stay outside mostly.

J is driving against everybody's better judgement.  At least he got into an automatic yesterday.  O gosh, think i said this yesterday,,,, never mind...

I've GOT to get some Christmas shopping done... never been this late!  Normally, it's all done by now.  I'm not doing much, just for immediate family.  I shop online so i have a big stack of these little catalogs laying here.

Gosh, just seems i have nothing to put here, any more.  Yall tc, and

Have to Laugh

My phone rang a bit ago, and the only phone working in the house, is in the back bed room,,,lololol.  I had already called the verizon tech that worked so long on the internet connection, and it's still the same, and now, i had to call him again, about the phones......lolololol.   He called right after 8 this morning, i had just gotten up, and said he was gonna try some other stuff.  Poor guy.

It was J calling, saying he was picking up some breakfast tacos.  I was just fixing to do my waffles, so i'm waiting.,,,Starving,,,lololol.

He's driving against all my warnings, but did say he was gonna get into an automatic, the standard was killing him.  They, he and his dad, have a used car lot.  Lots of choices...lol.  He loves that Kia, cause of the 47MPH.  OOOO,,,,on the trip to SA, i got 28.3!!!! In my Taurus.  Never got that before.  I drove around 65 mph, using cruise control...have to do that, my foot gets too heavy.

I just can't believe that F1 race wasn't on tv yesterday!! Well, not on my cable. 

Looking at the week's weather report,,,upper 70s!,,,lol,,,love this.

That's all folks,,,tc and

Just a Little Today

Nite before last, i woke up about 1;30 to go to the b'room, and heard the tones go off for the Kingsland Fire Dept.  A call in about a house fully engulfed.  People had moved out about 2 months ago, they said.  Of course it burned to the ground.  Same ol Same ol,, this has been an ongoing thing for a long time.  And yeah, it's arson fires.  This made about 7 or so houses, and i think i read there were 11 grass fires that were arson, too.  They arrested one 17 year old, but ,,,,.  This is horrible.  The residents in K'land are really putting the pressure on to get this stopped.   Sure hope they get em all, send em off permanently.  Had this happen here years ago, and it turned out to be the fire chiefs son doing it.  He got sent off for years.  Then got out, and got sent back.
 
Those F1 races on that new track have been going strong.  Unreal.  And it's just down the road,,,lol.  Here that means about 75 miles away.   Austin has been having stuff going on all weekend.  For being the 1st time, it has gone soooo good.  Read somewhere, that having that kind of race in Austin, was like having ??? in Mayberry,,,,lololol.  I don't know how they got it all done in time.

Don't know why Sundays are so long and boring.  I even did some mopping,,,lololol.

What a Great Day,,,Yesterday

J was here, then my dotter and partner came by and stayed for hours,,, We laughed so much, i'm sore,,,lololol.  They all left about 3 so i went to the park for a while since daylight is short these days.  Had to stop at the library too, 1 book left and 1/2 way thru with it.  I'm reading Harlan Coben now,,great books.  Part of his books are based on one man, but i like the others better.  So i'm reading those first, and will get to the others, later.

I was amazed that one of my readers, Goldie, was in SA too.  That was probably my last trip.  His check ups will be in F'burg.

Actually, i don't have much to write about.  I have finally adjusted to the time change, i think,,,lol.  Not losing that hour now.

Had a man show up yesterday to fix my slow ISP.  lololol.  Had to call him later and tell him it was still doing the same thing, after he had spent so much time on it.  I know what happened.  Since my connection fluctuates on the speed, when he tested it, he was catching it on the top end.  There is this thingy that shows bars and when they're all white, i'm GOOD.  But, when green ones start showing i'm getting slow.  Right now, i have 1 green and it can go to 3, then all go back to the white again.  He moved my modem, changed out a line to it, and when he checked, it showed good on his machine...Hated to call him later.  I kinda think it's the modem.

That's all i've got, so yall tc, and

SA Again Today

Staple pulling time today.  2PM apt, so we'll be leaving about 11:30.  With all our "rest" stops, we allow a little extra time.

He's shaving, and says he's gonna lie down for a bit...There are pillows in the car, back seat, so he can if he wants.  We need to make a stop at Walmart later to get more of the bandages that work so good under the brace,,,no one has em here.  They  are more padded and with the holes left from those 23 staples, he'll need that.  Also need some more of that saline wash.

 
Took these yesterday at the park...  There were so many different birds there late yesterday., makes it really interesting.  There was a big group of white ones sitting on the dam, and we weren't sure what they were.  We think maybe egrets... But,, we know what egrets look like and these just weren't quite the same.  They were too far to  get a good look.  We tried binoculars, but the sun shining on them,,well,,just not sure.
 
Got a good nite's sleep, ready to drive.  It's cloudy and i sure like to drive like that.  The apt. is at 2 so there won't be traffic problems.  It's NEVER as bad as Austin any time.  Besides, it's right close to the first loop, 1604, don't have to go into the worse parts.

PS  Forgot to mention,,J and i saw a whooping crane flying over the Llano River bridge right here in town, about 5 PM yesterday,,,It was following the river, and i had just read about them in an article in the Statesman, and asked to let him know if any one saw one.  I emailed him and told him.  (Mike Leggett)

Gonna Get Cold

Somewhere back about a week ago, we musta had a little frost, cause the leaves are finally falling.  The front due in any minute will finish them off the next few days.  Hey,,no more mowing til Jan...hahahaha,,,

My internet is slow, and has been doing this a couple of weeks.  I can reset the router and make it ok, but,,,guess i'm gonna have to call, much as i hate that thot.  Where the lines show it,,it's just one line off, but, that makes it slow. 

J told me a couple of weeks ago that he wanted some pecans and did i know where he could get any.  I had seen signs but didn't remember where.  WELL!! Just across the road and down about a block from him,,,there is a big sign,,PECANS....hahahahaha,,,It's just before the city park, and i remember when that pecan orchard was planted there.  And yep, they had shelled pecans.  We went by and i whipped back around and he got a pound.  $8.  He's gonna make pies, and said he had won the award for pies, 4 years in a row...He makes those little, what? 4" ones?   Little ones anyway.    I think our squirrel population had doubled in the park this year,, so much for them to eat.

I just read Gypsy's blog today, and i had totally missed it about her being in the hospital.  Glad she is home now.  That pneumonia is a BAD thing to have.  I was never the same after my bad bout of it, almost 5 years ago, but one thing good, was, i never had another cigarette.

Hey just got dark, maybe we will get a little rain.  And that south wind just went still, think that front is right at my front door. lol.    Don't know if it will hit like a blast or kinda sneak in...

There was a new food trailer set up last week end and i was giving my signal for Sonic, and went by it, saw the sign, pulled pork,,and just went right on thru that Sonic drive way, back to the pulled pork,,,,Gosh, love that stuff.  And of course i want slaw on it!  WELL, got my appetite back up for another one, went back and it's GONE!  Well, it was back yesterday, so about 5;30 here i went again,,,mouth watering, and $%*%*&*_)&^(*%&,,,,,it was closed!!!  This is before dark, when the hunters would have been in hunting food.  So now, i'm lost.  Heck, maybe he ran out early or something,,,

Just had my waffles and here i'm thinking about that pulled pork bun!  Think i'm gonna go check it out...  so yall tc, and
