Wonderful Mothers Day

TYTY Hembree, glad to c a new follower.

WELLLL, about 1;30 pm yesterday, my door bell rings, and its a florist bringing me flowers from my dotter. Never knew they delivered on Sundays, but,,they did. Gave her a call to thank her, and , lol,,,she thot they had been delivered on Sat.,,, Surprised her too. A few minutes later, my son called, asking if i wanted to go to Marble Falls n eat at a Mexican restaurant, and i told him YESSS. lol,,,He also had to make a stop at Walmart. My dotter came by and brought my card, but didnt go with us. All in all, a GREAT Mothers day.

Ok, time out for lunch. bbiab

Good leftovers, and no, i didnt eat the mexican food, had steak n shrimp sheshkbobs. Cant eat much of the steak, even without my band being full. It still wants to stop me up. Got my surgery date set to replace that port, this morning. It will be on the 25th. Told em, i wanted it filled right then, too, lololol. Well,,,hells bells, ive lost a year already!!!

I still HATE this new format for my blog. I waste a lot of time trying to figure out how to preview, edit, spell check, etc. and then to get back to the blog itself. Have figured out that there r drafts i can get to, n just today, help told me to clic on just edit, to get back to this. I thot i had changed it to be like the old one, but guess that didnt work. Doesnt surprise me. lol

Reason im so late today, is my power went off for over an hour. That put me wayyy behind. I finally called to be sure it wasnt just me, n they told me they were doing repairs. Way back, our power went off, n we didnt think much about it for a while, but then,,noticed all the neighbors had theirs on. Got to looking, n the main switch outside had been cut off. lmaoooo...Our ol tom cat always got on the roof, n then jumped down to the utility box to get off, being in a corner. Guess he missed, n hit the big switch, n off it went. From then on, first thing we checked. That ol cat was the king of the hill,,,n i wish i had filmed him,,,Our neighbors 2 houses down, had 3 boxers, in a pen with an 8 foot fence. Mean sobs too. Heard them ranting n railing 1 day, looked out n there my ol cat went,,,walking down the fence line with just the wire between them,,ears laid back, tail up ,,,twitching on the end,,,daring them to come on. They were jumping so high, they could ,,,almost,,,get over the top of that fence!!,,I had to laugh,,,thinking what he would have done,,had they made it. hahahahahaha He woulda died of fright. hahahahahah. He knew exactly how to push their buttons, n did it every day. Im sure my neighbors just loved him. One more story bout that ol cat.,,,Hed been missing a couple of days, n my hubby went out the door and there he was, sitting there, slobbering,,sick, drooling. He said omg,,hes got rabies!!,, well,,,i watched him a few minutes n he would try to like, spit something out, working his tongue trying to do it. So,,,i went over, against my hubbys warnings n yellings, etc, and looked in his mouth. And there it was, a round bone out of a fishs spine, stuck down on his back tooth. He couldnt swallow!! I just got a pair of pliers, pried his mouth open, n took that bone off. lolol,,,He was fine!! n besides, he had his shots anyway. That hubby couldnt ever handle emergencys. I was always cool hand MOM<<< lololol

Strange Happenings

Gosh, here it is almost 11 am,,,n i havent heard one word from either of my kids.

A lite on dash board came on late yesterday, showing a door ajar on my car. And,,my interior lites wouldnt work, n it didnt lock the doors when u put it in gear. Went from drivers door, on around til i had wd40ed em all, (the latch thingy),,and i think the last one i did, fixed it. Aint that always the way it happens? OMG!!!! Just connected something else to that. When that happened, my sis used the button to unlock it, n at the same time i get a phone call from her, over where im waiting, and i cant understand a word shes saying,,,then when she stops there by me, i close the phone, thinking ill c what she wanted now. WELL!!!! SHE HAD NOT CALLED ME!!!! but she had!!! It was all garbled, like slurred. My phone shows the call, too. WOW hahahaha,,using that unlock button somehow made this happen!! Had another incidence similiar to this a few years ago. My computer went down, n i was told the main station had been flooded there in San Antonio. I went out n my car had a dead battery. Called my son, then came back in. Later, my puter came back on. N still later, i went out, n for some reason, tried my car again. Worked fine!!. I think the outage affected that chip in my key.,,,somehow. Yall ever had anything like these things happen?

My sis, her bf, n i went over to Marble Falls n ate at the seafood place over there. yummmmm,,,i had fried oysters, baked potato with all the trimmings, slaw. SOOOO GOOD. Havent had oysters in years,,just always had shrimp. Now im hungry for frog legs, gonna have to find a place for those in the future. oops,,,if i get this band fixed next week,,wont be able to eat but a bite and be full. lol,,1 plate=lots of meals.

When i went with the 2 friends last week, we went to, guess ud call it, a diet siminar. That lady said throw everything away u have always been told, its not true. Like the food pyramid,,,not true! Grains,,,not good. The way weve been told to eat, is why theres the fat epidemic. The basic thing she said, is eat #of carbs to equal # of proteins. Add a little good carbs to bad carbs to equal 2/3 of meal. Thats where i have to quit,,,going back to another next month. Just for the ride. By then my band should be working.

It's SATURDAY!

Well, here it is, after noon ,,,n i have NOT heard from either of my 2 kids yet. Wonder if they know tomorrow is Mother's day, lol. Not gonna sit around n wait to c. If i want to go somewhere, im gone. My mom died a few years ago, so i will go by the cemetery for a visit. Might go today.

Guess i gotta tell u the story of,,waking up the dead. Lost my first son when i was 19, and it hit me hard. Of course, we didnt have cemetery lots, so we went ahead n bought 3. Well,,,I just couldnt make myself go up there, for a long time,,about 6 months. When i finally could, THERE WAS A MEXICAN MAN BURIED IN ONE OF OUR LOTS!!!! I went right on down to the city office, and the city manager was a man i had known most of my life, n his family lived across the street from us when i was a teen. I went in,,,n said,,,"George,,just dont know how to tell u this, but theres someone buried in 1 of our lots." He went,,,OMG,,,jumped up,,,said, "I knew this would happen some day!!!" After checking it out, sure nuff, we had em first, so they had to move that man.,,,,OOO HORRORS,,,I sure wouldnt go back up there, then,,,afraid id catch them with him outa the ground all yukkkk,,,Well they did get it all done, and all was good. Until my Dad died. They had bought about 10 r 12 lots, and when he died, here come George again, to c Mother,,,saying,,"This had NEVER happened before, but somehow theres another person buried in 1 of ur lots". Mother looked at him,,,n said,,"o yes it has, George",,,n told him about mine. They didnt move that one, just did some trading with the lots to make it right. That was when that old man,,kinda a drunk,,,lost his job.


While i was gone, i got the call to schedule this port replacement. Ill call them monday n c what choices i have. And also, c how long the whole shebang will take. I deliberately do NOT give them my cell #. Back during my last job, made that mistake. And back then, had gotten a cell just for emergencys since i was on the road so much and therefore had just like an hour a month. After they called me twice on it, i changed my #, never gave it to them any more. They had given us the things,,oooo gosh, what were those things,,,oo yeah,,,beepers, to call so we could call them back. I asked why they had called my cell, the answer,,,,it was faster!!,,,well, they werent paying for it, so stay off.

CC Fraud

Had a call this morning,,,wanting to verify my purchase of a new macbook. I said,,"What???",,,They gave me the order #, my cc#, my name n address, etc,,and i told them no way, i did NOT order that. So,,next thing, i had to call my cc company and get that n 3 other charges taken off. They told me to cut up my card, NOW, which i did, and they had a new one on the way, would take 2 days. And by the way,,,I DO NOT LIKE THIS NEW FORMAT. No automatic spell check. Ok back to cc. lol,,,But wait!!!,,,one more thing, ive lost this post 3 times already, hahahaha, n had to redo. Not leaving any more til im done. sooo,,,I am NOT gonna stop ordering online, have done it forever. Love the convenience of shopping online, finding the best buys, and getting it brought to my door. I also like the mostly no tax, n free shipping. When i smoked, i ordered my cigs once a month, avoiding the 10.oo a carton TX tax. The doc in Austin asked how i could afford the 2-3 packs a day, and i told him about the online thing. He said,,,dont tell anybody else. lololol Now its gas,,,wonder if i can get that online,,hahahaha.

Now,,let me tell u about this new pair of house shoes. I just found them in my closet a few weeks ago, and have been wearing them because they have an open toe. WELL,,,,the left 1 came up with rocks inside the sole,,somehow. So i took a hammer n tried to crush them,,but,,omg,,,made em lots worse. Finally cut the bottom open in 2 places, and wow,,,inside was this,,,stuff, hard like black glass r something, and i emptied it out best i could. But its still like walking on rocks. Hello, trash. DAM,,,sure liked em too.

Dumb Doctors

Like DD, not much going on besides doing appointments.  Have to go have my toe checked today, n make a stop at walmart. 

Wow, found out why my lap band hasnt ever worked.  DAMMMMMM.  A whole year wasted!!!!  My new Doc, after checking the fill level again,  NOT 5cc, like supposed to be,,was 1cc!!!, the dam thing has been leaking from the port for no telling how long!!!  The stupid Doc in Round Rock had never done that, had just kept blaming ME for not doing things.  Like counting calories, exercising,,etc, even tho i had told her for months, that the fills had done nothing n had had the lap band because diets had never worked.  Why was she telling me to diet???   It was NEVER ME,,,,it was HER. But its made me lose a whole year!!,,,I told him that all those docs owed me an apology.  Now i have to have a day surgery thing to replace the port!!  OMG,,,Just have kept thinking about the wasted year.  Cant think right now about finally knowing what the problem is.  And u know what, right now im not gonna think about it at all!!

Not leaving til after lunch today.  Appointment is at 1;45.  Going to that first, then walmart.  Just a few things on my list.  Main thing is exchanging that sevin dust granules for dust.  Then just 2 r 3 more things to grab, then outa there.  Will pick up something for supper, not sure what, yet.  Finished off my Red Lobster plate for supper yesterday. 

Well, finally got my 2 prescriptions delivered, so dont have to wait on that any more.  They r building an huge new store that will have a drive thru.  lol think i wrote about that earlier.  I have my license to have memory lapses,,,lololol. 

Yall tc,,

Austin today

Gonna be just a short post today, im back from Austin n just tired.  Found out why my lap band hasnt ever worked like its supposed to.  It has a leak where the port is, (thats where they go in to do the fills), so when i would get fills, over the next few days, it leaked out.  Now,,,i have to go have day surgery to replace the valve.   Ill find out more later, didnt today.

Did go to Red Lobster to eat.  yummmmmm.  Brought home enough leftovers to last a couple more meals, lol.  

Well, got errands to do, n just a little time left, so im outa here for today.
