Blue Sunday?

I had to watch that video about the attack goose again, and still LMAO.  If you missed it, it's in yesterday's post.  Making me laugh just thinking about it. LOLOLOLOL.

Geez, i got up yesterday with another of those bad bites on me,,my foot this time.  On the top, right behind my middle toes.  Woke me up so many times last night itching, i was up and down most of the nite.  I looked thru my bedding, nothing,,maybe i stepped on something getting up during the nite.  If this keeps up i'll put off some of those bombs.  Usually don't do that unless i have a flea problem.  Good thing i had 2 tubes of itch stuff.  lol.  Almost used all of one.

My son has gone to Houston with his gf, to visit with her sister and take a vehicle back down there.  A Tahoe that gets 4 mpg.  It was bought from her BIL but when J had it apart, gonna fix it, the BIL made some comments about car dealers that made him so mad, he put it back like it was, gave her a KIA, 40 mpg.  So, the BIL can take it and shove it,,,lol.  Her whole family was mad at him for saying things like that.

Well anyway,, he asked me if i would go by and help his dad, my x, to doctor one of their cats, and i told him sure.  HA,,,that cat went ballistic.  Me, a stranger, holding that ,,bad word here, med, to put in his ear?? NO WAY.  He was holding him by the neck, but that didn't make a bit of difference.  He saw me, that med, and was no way to hold him.  I called this morning and he said he did get one ear done later. lololol  That he would sneak it in over time, try to get it all done.  Needed another one on his skin where he had scratched it raw.  That was after the vet had given him shots of antibiotics.

I ordered some crocs that i love, except they needed that 1/2 size more, which they don't do.  The whole size would be too large.  Got to checking what i had to do to send them back,,,HA!!!  Ain't gonna.  No way.  Wonder if there's a way to stretch the strap on the back?  They were on sale, so to send them back is just not practical.  Thot i could do this, order shoes online, but,,  It worked with the rock n roll ones,,, I looked at the store in Marble Falls, they didn't have these.

I was in the new mexican food place to eat supper last nite, and this little, like, 2 year old started screaming, NOT crying,, just doing it to be loud.  I was sitting about 2 tables away, and almost had to put my hands over my ears it hurt so bad.  She kept doing it, over and over, just to be loud, and sure enough,,the Mom sitting there on the cell phone, texting!  Saying, sssh,,but not doing anything.  Finally, this man (maybe the owner) came out of the kitchen area and took her out and they left.  I'll tell you one thing, i won't sit there and listen to that any more!  Don't care who it is.  Maybe i was hard on mine, but,,,they didn't get to go out with us, until they would behave.  They learned self control at a young age, they had to.  I didn't tolerate bad behavior.  Now, kids have none, don't have to.  Or, most of em.  There's still a few parents that raise kids right,,,lol.

Sundays are LONG days,,, seems to be anyway.  But yall tc, and

Check out this great MSN video: Man vs. Angry Goose 

Watch this if you need a laugh today.  This is hilarious!  That's why i don't trust those out at the park.  lololol.  I remember when i was about 4, and one attacked me, scared me for life,,like that ol cow did.  I went out to get my granma's cow for milking one day, when i was maybe 12, and she was walking along just fine.  THEN, for no reason, she stopped, turned her head and looked at me, then the chase was on.  Good thing i was fast, and that's when i learned to slide,,going under that fence.  You sure couldn't get me back in that pasture with her.  Around here, you don't honk your horn to make the cattle move out of the way, that horn means feeding time.  I did that once, too,,had a whole herd surround me on the road, and more running in.

I was reading on Gypsy's blog, about her dog being sick,,,and i remembered something i did for years.  I had read it in my cat book.  I put like a 1/4 tsp of vinegar in their bowl of water,,,they couldn't taste it, and the fleas and ticks did NOT like them then.  Those collars just made everything go to their back end.  I use the drops on Jude now, cause he's not inside all the time, and drinks outside too.  Have to be sneaky, putting my glove on, opening it.  After one time, they know.  Jude's not as bad as the one that i lost a couple of years ago.

Been on the phone,, with SS, so yall take care, and

Cute little girl on so you think you can dance doing ballet after her mo...

This was absolutely precious last nite.  bbl

BACK*******************
So boring around here, lately.  Same ol, same ol.  Guess i have the summer doldrums...and it's still spring.

I bought a box of steaks at Walmart last week, and i need to dig out my indoor grill.  It's under everything in my pantry,,,lolol.  It's a big round bowl thing, with a metal drip pan you add a little water to, and an electric burner.  My friend bought one years ago, and it worked so good, i did too.  See?  If i threw away things i don't use often, i wouldn't have that.   The meat tastes just like it was cooked on an actual outdoor grill.  Let's see, besides that, i have a crock pot, small deep fryer, convection oven.  (that might be all).  Using that crock pot for the bean soup sure did heat up my kitchen.  Would'nta thot it.  On one of my get-ups during the nite, i switched it off, let it sit til morning.

LOLOL,,,showing those oreo cattle on the news,,,They're black on both ends, have a big white stripe around the middle.  They weren't in the pen by the road last weekend or i was gonna take a pic of them, (the ones here).  I know there's another name, but they are called oreo too.  I looked them up the first time i saw them.  I don't even remember what country they're from.  Check them out here:

Well, now i've gotta find a watermelon,,talking about em, now seeing em on tv.  The frucose makes my blood sugar go up, so i'll have to limit it.  I dig it all out of the rind, put into a large bowl, so it's easier to eat.

Got leftovers today, some fish (frozen stuff) and that chicken, etc.  So, lunch time, yall tc, and

Hot and Sweaty

Seems i'm staying that way, even tho i'm inside, or in the car.  Way past those hot flashes,,,lol.  If i get up and move to do anything, i'm hot.  Not gonna turn the ACs down so,,sit still and stay cool...It's really not that bad,,just think it is sometimes.  If my body gets hot, takes a long time to cool off again,,that's the main problem.

Haven't heard from my niece, SS.  SOOOOO SS,,,are yall moving or not???  Seems we always moved in the summer,,July or August,,can you believe that?   But back then, heat didn't bother me like it does now.  I was acclimated, out in it a lot more.  Especially all the 15 years or so, i played softball.  When you start sitting under ACs all the time,,that's it!  Gosh, we grew up here with none,  just a huge swamp cooler.  That was all we had even when i had my last son, born in June.  Had to get in the car and drive him around for a couple of weeks with temps at 110 or above.  Those coolers just blow hot air with that hot water circulating in them.  You don't need a water heater in the summer.

WOOOHOOOO,,, my fav on IDOL,,won!!!  He's so humble,  and when he tried to sing at the end, he broke down, and just took off his guitar, and went off the stage and hugged his family.  I feel kinda sorry for him, he'll never have another moment's peace.  Another of my favs from a few years ago, Adam Lambert, just got another #1 on the charts.  He and Carrie Underwood.

Yep, heat has arrived,,watching the weather right NOW.  The wind was just about blowing a gale yesterday.

I read something in a book i'm into now,,that i never knew.  Way back, people used geese to weed their gardens.  Of course, as look outs too, like guineas.  They can really screech! lololol.

My feet hurt last nite for hours, after i went to bed.  It was after 2;30 before i went to sleep.  I took an aleve, but should've taken something stronger.   I didn't think i should take the other after the aleve, so i didn't.

Going to the shower,,so yall tc, stay cool, and

Wish I Knew Something New

Only thing i seem to know today is it's over the hump day again,,seems those show up way too fast.  Also, the heat is here.  I had to stop at the grocery for a couple of things, and i was sick at my stomach by the time i got back home, unloaded, and could just sit down again.

I bought a whole chicken,,lol, after all that talking about chicken, etc.  Now i'm not sure how i want to cook it, boil or roast.  I have that little contraption that you can cook beer can chicken on, but NOT gonna use the large oven.  Paula what's her name,,called it beer in the rear chicken.  (O yeah, Dean)  I have a convection oven, probably will use that.  I also bought a bag of 16 bean soup mix,,that will go into the crock pot tonite.   Sound good?  Did to me.  Gonna try to eat lots of protein, low carbs.

Guess i should mention,, after the comments yesterday,,i do shop at Walmart, not much choice.  I have no complaints about food stuff, just appliances, etc.  And I like the idea of all in one place.  And i will also say, no matter where you get anything, it might not last any longer either.  The 19" tv i bought for this room, had a loose connection there where you hook up the cable, and i didn't know it til the warranty was gone,,of course.  I have to wiggle it when the pic gets all snowy.  The volume doesn't work right either.  Goes up to a certain point and no more.  Don't buy an Emerson,,,lol.  I sure won't any more.  Who said it?,,You get what you pay for.  I'm a cheap ol lady,,,gotta be on what i have to live on,,,

I got my sprayer out this morning when i went out for the paper,,,but haven't gone back out and sprayed those burr weeds.  It was so hot there, East side, that i put it off.  I will get it done today.  Just stopped right there and went out and did it, and yeah, i'm hot...

To do my "get outa the house time" now,  not sure what i'll do.  Just about too hot to even sit in a shade and read, watch wild life.  Maybe take short rides, gas has gone down.  3.45 yesterday.  I still have to factor that in on anything i do, like my trip to Walmart, cost me almost 15.00,,,see what i mean?

I just saw Nancy Reagan on tv, OMG,,didn't know she was still alive!  And she was walking with someone.  Holding their arm, but,,geez.

I have thrown out 3 or 4 of those darned beetles since yesterday!  Did i tell you, i stepped on one one nite, barefooted,,yukkkk.  Wasn't on the carpet to pad it, either.

I have high hopes for my Idol guy, Phillip,,, That Jessica has the vocals, BUT, he has that,,something.  He will never have another moment of peace, win or lose.  I just kept hitting redial last nite, voting for him.  Even at my advanced years, i could almost swoon,,lolololol.  Do you ever get too old?  hahahahaha.

Ok,,yall tc, and

Guess The Heat Hasn't Forgotten Us

Gosh, thot we might make it til June, before that heat did.  That's what you get for wishful thinking.

I sure liked Hermit Jim's post about ice cream.  Makes me remember something i should always,,listen to your body.  When it starts craving, there's a reason.  I craved ice cream for quite a while, and now, it's gone.  Now,,coffee is a different story.  Gotta have that just to open my eyes in the mornings,,,  I've always had to laugh at SSs coffee, a cup of milk with a dollop of coffee.

I've got this big wall clock laying here on the table, going to the trash today.  Bought it at Walmart,,enough said.  Just a few months ago.  Can't make it even squeak now.  I could fill this whole page with stuff like that.  But there's not much choice on where to buy things around here.  Way back when my dotter was a teen, she got a clock in Austin, had BIG red numbers, and developed a hum after a while.  There were little lites that went around full circle for the minutes.  Well,,years and years later,,,i find one just like it at a garage sale and buy it,,has the same hum,,,lolololol.  Bro B keeps saying it has to be the same one,,hers,,because how would this OLD woman have come up with this far out clock?  Well, dotter went out in her store room and found hers just to prove it was, indeed, 2 of them.  I had to take mine apart and fix it once, and i could put something between the workings and the face and stop the hum, but it wouldn't last.  That, those, clocks just liked to sing.., Well, i brought hers up here and took it apart, too, but it had a nylon gear with too many teeth gone to fix.  Later, mine did the same..

Worst thing from Walmart was a push mower that the blade just broke off on one half of it while i was mowing!  Buried itself in the ground.  It broke just to one side of the middle!!  Then one came apart one time because none of the bolts had been tightened.  That was when you just put the handle on, these were all the others on it, just flew apart.

Got distracted so i'm outa here, tc, and

Love Being Retired,,,On Mondays,,,lol

Well,, i did remember the eclipse, but didn't see the whole thing.  Got to see like 3/4 before it got too low.  Then i looked on Youtube and there wasn't anything good of it.   I was looking out my window.  I had tried that cardboard with a pin hole, didn't work, so,,i decided if i saw it at all, would be just glancing out my window.  I think my location just showed that much of it anyway.

HEYYYY, the geese are back!!!,,,No babies tho :(.   They are all there.  I just drove thru there yesterday, and they act like they never left.  Don't know if something got the little ones or what, but figure that's what happened.

I turned my ACs back on yesterday, probably til fall, now.  Well, i rotate them daily. Pays off too,,,on my utility bill.  Even my dotter is running a window ac, and not the central.  Felt just fine too.  The only thing i hate about running them is this one in the dining room, runs all the time,,no way to set it to cut off when not cooling.  So i have that noise all the time.

My son stopped by for a few minutes yesterday and said everywhere he went, everybody was grinning ear to ear.  Had heard about his drive.  I'm not sure that ticket will matter on his insurance.  It was for improper take off.

I forgot to watch the Preakness, but that darn horse did the same thing he had done in the Derby!  UNREAL.  And here i am, can't remember the name,,,lolollolol.  Not even sure if Preakness is correct, so anyway, the same horse has won 2,,,by coming from way behind on the stretch and passing everything!  Makes me have chills to watch it.  SOOOOO COOOL.  I never was into horse races except back when my friends had one, and he ran like that too.,,,Then he came up dead one day, in his stall.  It was his first year.  They always thot someone poisoned him even tho the autopsy didn't show anything.  And i know autopsy isn't right, for a horse, but,,don't know the right one.

Ok, that's my story and i'm sticking to it,,,yall tc, and
