Another Week Older, and,,,,

Have no idea why i woke up about 7 this morning and could NOT go back to sleep!  Finally came dragging out after i heard my coffee making.  I did sleep really good during the nite, like,,just woke up once, so ,,,maybe that's it.

Had to laugh last nite, (maybe not funny) but i laughed anyway.  Everybody around here knows to watch for high water when it rains buckets like yesterday,,,right?  About 9;30 there was a disturbance call way down E on a city street and a deputy turned off of Hwy 71 to assist.  In a minute i heard,,,BIG WATER.  Then,,,silence....You're thinking,,,,gosh, that idiot went into that creek!  After about a minute of silence, then i heard,,,"I need a wrecker."  hahahahaha,,,I know i've got a warped sense of humor, but that is still making me laugh.  There was so much rain in such a short time everything was up and roaring, even the little draws that normally stay dry.  Son said that little draw out there where gf lives got up to the steps.  So yeah, a big creek is gonna be up and roaring.  I guess he wrecked his car to keep out of the water,,a smart move.  Not a smart move was taking that cut off to start with.  Or not to be going slow enough to check out the creek.  2 small CRoads  were closed for a while.

And no, i have no idea how much rain we got.  Don't look like anybody's gonna give me a rain gauge ,,so i guess i'll have to get one myself.  I want one of those giant ones with the big floating ball.  When my dotter asked for a list that was the first thing.  And the only place to get one is where she works.  Cause i looked at other places.  Tell you what, if i don't get one for Mother's day, i will get over there and do it.

J went to Fredericksburg yesterday, his doc is there once a week, and got a lot more injections in his back.  I didn't know it til he called about 4'30 pm asking about tornado warnings around.  Then he still took time to stop at Walmart and the chicken place before he headed back.  The rain was BAD, and coming over that mountain range is bad too.  He showed up here about 6 with a flower arrangement for me.  He was barely moving.  Gotta get that surgery done!

I have to make a stop at the library today!!!  I've read almost all the Lee Child books, one left, so i have to spend time hunting another author to read.  I sometimes look at the best seller list and find other books by those authors.

Bring It ON!

I'm stillll,,,LMAOOO...Gotta love her,,,SS, i mean.  Thx for joining me,,,SS.   You'll find out how to leave a comment, got faith in you.

Guess what,,, i didn't get my oil and filter changed yesterday,,,the building was full.  And that lake at the front door was being filled in.  Told him np,, not going anywhere.  Yet.  Love watching that radar,,all that stuff coming this way.  Today, tonite, tomorrow.....wooohoooo.  Bring it on!

My shows are ending,,,the Biggest Loser, the Voice,, 2 weeks left of Idol,,mercy!  But i think i'll like Howard Stern on America's Got Talent.  Better than Piers Morgan by a long way.  So You Think You Can Dance starts about then,, Heck, might be better than now.

There was a channel 7 van sitting down by the dam here in town yesterday.  I saw them get out, and film about 10 seconds, then forgot to watch it.  Long drive for that, but maybe there was more in other places.  It's the fox network.

Wow, it's 1 pm,,,where did my day go?  O,,,my bro G came by for a while.  The gate thing is still going on.  He had run across the mayor and been told that he would call another meeting,,to let us know what their legal system had said.  Might be time to get out the glue,,,lololol.

Ok,,i don't nap anymore, well, rarely, but today?,, Think i'm gonna.  Eyes don't want to work,,i think they need a rest.  Nothing else going on,,,it's the weather,,,that's what.  Yall agree?

Another Day in the Life Of,,,,

Just watched weather, saying BIG rains coming Thurs nite, over 3" or more.  Do we believe that?  I'm for wait and see.  Would love it, tho.  Around here we never get enough.

Gotta get my oil and filter changed in a bit.  Been a year, and about 6000 miles.  Just don't go anywhere.  Was going to take it to another place, but J volunteered.  Just don't want him doing anything to hurt his back.

Well, Christina's team was in last place last nite!,,,hahahahaha,,she ruined her own chance, and i really feel sorry for the singer Chris.  I went to the web site and so many felt the same way i did.  She needs to be taken off, after what she did.

I was so sore yesterday was hard to move at all.  I finally remembered what i had done and that was bending over so long, cleaning out a cat litter box, all parts of it, outside.  Then, combining 2 of them, cause one hasn't been used in so long, i just emptied it.  Jude goes outside, so this one is rarely used, but there in an emergency.  SS, Jude is the one i brought home from your house years ago.  I was there helping SS with a garage sale before they moved, and this woman and i got to talking about cats, and she told me about him, then ,,,brought him to me in a carrier, said i could have it too.  He had wandered up to her house, and she had taken care of him, til i showed up.  lololol. He's a fantastic cat.  And, the only one i have now.

That's all,,,so yall tc, and

Good Accidents Happen,,Too

Got an email from my niece up by Ft Worth, had forgotten where this blog is....so i sent it back.  I don't do facebook, look on there every once in a while, and to me, this is how I keep in touch.  Soooo,,,,, welcome,,SS.

Got a call from J a bit ago, was over in Marble Falls, asking when the bad weather was gonna show up,,Told him all i'd seen was just rain today, no bad stuff.  My phone, most of em in town i think, was off last nite and still, this morning.  But before i called in, it came back on.  It was the same as last time,,no phone, but had internet,,that one wire, remember?,,,And i think i accidently found out why my answering machine was silent when someone was leaving a message.  I had looked before, in the book and all, but,,going thru setup last nite, i found it,,,turned it on.  I had never been able to hear who was leaving a message at the time they were doing it.

I watched the Voice finale last nite, and was so put out with Christina that even if i could have, (busy all the time), i wouldn't have voted for her team.  I looked on their facebook page and i'm sure not the only one.  I think it probably caused her singer to lose.  We'll know tonite....

We had lots of high water last nite, and a lot of blown down trees, tree limbs.  The county was kept busy putting up barricades for both.  Or cutting up big trees to move.  Places had high water that hasn't for years.  We got just under 3", according to KXAN, but S of us got lots more.  Made those creeks rise,,,lol.

I've been cold all morning.  Even turned a burner on on my stove.  Dug out my warm houseshoes, robe.  Still feeling good.  Didn't use ACs last nite, either.

All for today,,yall tc, and

Weather,,,

Didn't get to see a moon, the last 2  days we've had storms move in, and this last one was not good.  Lots of hail, not so bad here at my house, up to a nickel size, but a mile W of town, was golf ball size.  My son's gf lives out where it was that bad, and the car she has been driving, got lots of dings.  His, not so much, they were putting them under an oak tree, during the hail,,,he said he has 2 bumps on his head.  She had her head covered with a better cover.  

That hail would come and go, you would think it was over, and here it came again.  One time i looked out a W window and the rain was going straight to the S, then the next time,,to the N.  Back and forth.  Got more coming the next few days,,according to the weathermen.  Bring it on!

A few of us started snacking on the fish yesterday, on the first out of the pot...We were all wanting the tails,,,lolololol.  She cooks the bones,,with the tails, yummmm. Lots of good eating left after filleting.  Gosh, don't know how much they cooked, but lots!  I got full too fast!!!, couldn't eat enough!!!!!  It was like i took something to knock me out,,,got so sleepy.  I came home and tried to nap twice, and never did go to sleep, but HAD to shut my eyes.  Twice.

Got one of those sore ulcers on the side of my tongue.  Used to have one all the time, when i smoked.  So i don't know why i have this one now.  Haven't eaten lots of tomatoes.

Guess I'm Late

Not gonna be much today, forgot and got into some other stuff.  If i vary from my routine, it puts me off.  Went back to see if i had any comments, and ,,,found i hadn't even done a new one!

No plans, boring day, and another one tomorrow.  It's that weekend thang.  Used to be ,,,TGIF, party time,, rest on Sunday.  Maybe that's why it's so boring now.

I ate at our new mexican place yesterday, for supper.  Had a tostado, and a small chili con queso with some pico in it.  It was great!  The tostado was loaded up with all kinds of goodies.  You had to use other chips to eat it all.  I can't eat their sauce they bring out with the chips at first, way too hot.  I told the waitress they needed to put the prices on the ticket, so people would know what to tip.  I had no idea.  But don't you look at the total to know how much?  I do. 15% is my usual.  BUT, that is for a good waitress, not one that brings the food and never comes back...Those get XXX.

I went by the new Italian one, but,,just didn't sound good yesterday.  Bro B likes it, but he likes spaghetti.  I'll try it some time.

Got a load of laundry done early today,,,that's probably what messed up my routine,,lol.  Needed something to wear, washed it all.  Might just go out and drive another back road today.  I think most of the flowers are gone, but might run across other things,,like those zebras! hahahahaha  J, B, and G are going out to nephew Ws today and look around for arrowheads.  B just told me it's too darn hot right now, will have to be later.  I might go by there later.  It's about 12 miles W.  but not on Ns road.

OOOO YEAH,,,gotta see the moon come up tonite!!!!!!!  I want to see it come up over that rise, not see it later when it actually  becomes full.  Might go to where i can see it over the river.  Yeah!
