New Year's Eve,,,,Dec. 31, 2011

Just about made it another year,,,lol.  I always remember my youngest son saying, about the time i get used to writing,,(new year date), it changes.  Don't know of anything i'm forgetting, but know there has to be something,,,hahahaha,,,,

RIGHT now, i'm gonna get my black eyed peas out. LMAOOO,,, got up and got distracted,,read this and got right back up to get those darn peas out.

HAVE to go to the grocery store today, i'm outa waffles.  Ate toast today, not gonna, any more.  Need milk too.,, For a long time i didn't drink anything when i ate, like i was told to do with this lap band, so i've really missed milk.  I also drink iced tea, not a lot, with other meals, or water.

Had to laugh, reading DD's blog today.  Gosh, had me convinced that was a new critter,,,hahahaha.  Then, he ate it!! lmao,,, 

Gonna be another spring day today.  Upper 70s.  Appreciate these days a lot more when they come in the winter.  There's a lot of snow birds at the park.  That changes all the time, but i counted not long ago, and there were 18. That's almost full.   Don't know how anybody can afford the prices,,there.  I looked it up one time, and it's like, 300 a week.  WOW  That new one is opening real soon, between town and the park, on the river too, but i don't know what prices that will be,,,a lot, i bet.

Not nothing to say, guess yall can tell,,,so, tc, and

Friday, NOT the 13th

OMG!!! Noticed those little vent things for my dryer,,,outside, were stuck open.  Sooo,, i go over there to close them, and ,,,the reason they weren't closed,,,There was so much lint stuck in them they couldn't.  Hard too.   I dug and dug, getting it out as much as i could reach.  Don't know why stuff like that's been on my mind for weeks, lol,, a warning maybe?  Also, the washer leaking. (on my mind).  Had one do that, the seal broke under the tub, and all that water flooded out.  Gonna see if i can find someone to come by and take off the tube for the vent, so i can clean it all out.  HOW did all that get past the filter???  I clean that every time i use the dryer.  Was so little space left to vent, don't know how the dryer worked. 

Called in my refills for prescriptions today, gotta pick them up later.  That way i don't pay co-pay, and will after the 1st.  There's just a little space between paying, and not.  Not sure if they will fill one or not, but called it in anyway. 

Whew, finally, got to sit down.  Wheeeeeeeeeee,,, found some old pillow cases that are wider,  4 of em, so now i can cover that new pillow.  They were with 2 old sheet sets.  Gotta tell you this,,,one time my Mom gave me a set of striped sheets, and i found some material (of course) she had, to make some pillow cases.  She told me she found one of the sheets one time, at a garage sale, and!!! later, found the matching one at another!!!  Of course, i told her to keep looking, might find the pillow cases yet. lololol.  She didn't buy them for sheets,,,she bought the first one for the material, she made pillows.  But, finding the matching sheet,,,lol,,and the size i used.  When i was a teen, i helped the girls, friends, that lived across the street, do laundry for a motel.  That's where i learned how to fold sheets as you took them off the line.  Still do it, if i hang them out.  They folded them that way, hung them over the line and kept going,  then gathered them all up by flipping onto their arms. 

They were Jehovah Witnesses, and their dad was the minister.  Best people you ever knew.  Course, they never convinced me, this ol Southern Baptist here, of any of their beliefs, but i still admire them.  They live what they preach.  About the only ones i ever knew that did, or,,does.  I went to church with them if i was spending the nite.  Ok not gonna get into religion,,u know,,politics, religion, forbidden on blogs! and in bars,,,lolololol

Gosh, catch myself sitting here in a daze,,,hahahahaha,,,sometimes.  My mind's gone blank.  I've earned that right,,,right?,,,hahahahaha.

This security firm, Stratfor, in Austin, got hacked. lol,,,and,,last nite it got hacked again.  Just shows you how good these hackers are.  And they're showing them too.

Gosh, be so glad when next Tuesday gets here, all these holidays closings done til May.  When i was still working, that was a long time in between.  But even then, i was glad to be back to normal.  O Yeah,,,!!!, got my can of black eyed peas, remembered early this year.  Do yall?  Even have some cornbread in the freezer.  Couple of slices anyway.  Gonna keep my eye on those mixes,,hahahaha, cook em before they expire.  Cooked a mix of biscuits and put them in the freezer too.  I can stick either one in my toaster oven and toast to get em warmed up.

Done my do, for today, so yall tc, and

The Day Has Disappeared!

Geezz,,,the day has just slipped away.  Well, almost.  Have a load of laundry in the dryer, not totally useless today.  So tired, couldn't sleep again, last nite.  Not sure about this new pillow either. lolol  It's not foam, but sure is thick, then when i put the case on, makes it too hard.  In the middle of the nite, i was jerking that case off, worked then.  If i slept on the edge, on my stomach, it was ok.  But NOT in the case.  No room to expand.  Gosh!  What a freaking problem,,,lololol.  Haven't had one i liked since the egg carton foam one, that is not made any more.  I've looked online, everywhere.  And that's been a long time.  Not sure what to do about a case.  Now, none,,,lol.

I gave up on leftovers today, rest going out to the park, stray cats.  Just can't take it any more,,,,hahahaha.  Hate turkey for sure, now.  Friend S had insisted on filling up,,not ONE,,but TWO, of those BIG foam plates to send home with me, one with mexican food.  Tamales, yuk, never liked em.  I really didn't like any of it, and that turkey and trimmings, (plate FULL),, time to go.  I ate 3 meals off of all that.  OHHHH yeah!!,,another plate of sweets!!  Believe it or NOT, i'm tossing almost all of that too.  She had so much in her fridge, i know why, but don't know what she's gonna do with all the rest.  OMG,,,Sooo much.  She's the one that's lost over 200 lbs after having the lapband put in.  AND,, she can't eat hardly at all, kinda nibble.  She told me once, to eat meat, she can chew it a long time, then spit the rest out,,,that way she gets the taste and all.  Beef is the worst.  I have to do that sometimes, too.  Steaks?  Have to be so tender you could cut with ur fork.  Otherwise, can't do em.

DD's got a strange tree too, like that honey locust at my sis's place.  Never heard of DDs either.  They are both so out of place, makes you "wonder" how they got there.  I've lived in this county almost always, and have never seen another honey locust tree.  Actually, don't want to.  Here it is.
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek021108.html  How could you tell by looking at Ol Jules pics, it was a dead tree?  Did i miss something? 

Gotta get out of the house for a bit,,,yall tc, and

Love New Blogs

I want to thank you, Daughter of TX, i love that new blog, Bunkerindex.  Their place isn't very far North of me, maybe 90 miles or so. 

I'm killing time now, waiting on prescription delivery, before i can take a shower.  It's kinda late, they start at 10am,,  They do 3 a day, and i take the morning one.  Started doing it way back, before they moved.  The old place had NOOOO parking spaces, well, a couple that were always taken.  Then, this new place has never figured out how to work the window traffic, so,,, just deliver!  I did get a new calendar,,lol, 2, as a matter of fact.  They finally brought one, AFTER i had stopped and picked one up.  They have Norman Rockwell pics.  Anybody want this extra?  lololol.

All the years i worked, i was always paid weekly.  And all those years, i used a pocket? one to keep up with paying my bills.  Each payday was marked what i paid out of it.  I carried it in my purse with my check book.  Never had a problem with bills that way.  Way back, i bought a portable radio from a business here.  This was in the early 60s, so it wasn't cheap.  I paid it off in 3 months, but,,,,they said NO i didn't.  I paid for it ,,,,AGAIN,   but i learned a valuable lesson... Always, always, keep receipts!  AND, in a place where you could find them.  I never had another problem.

Heck, i might run over to Marble Falls today, check out Walmart.  That's the one that has never figured out how to stay stocked, always out of common things  you need.  But, i go to that one because there's other things i usually need to do over there too.  The one in Fredericksburg isn't one of the super ones, so doesn't have all the grocery stuff, like a meat market, produce, etc.  They have a huge HEB, but i hate to go in that one, it's just TOO big. 

Seeing on weather, cedar is growing, lololol,,good thing i don't have cedar fever.

Ok, off to the races,,,or whatever,,,yall

Memories Today,,,

Got a good nite's sleep, and here i am, still sitting here not doing anything...lolol.  Well, i did read all my blogs, just got thru.  Were lots of em today.   HJ made me get lost over in youtube,,playing that Stagger Lee song.  I can just keep going, and going,,,,over there,,,lololol.  OMG,,i watched Amy Winehouse doing it and was horrified.  How could anyone keep drinking after watching themselves look like that?

 Don't remember which one reminded me of this, but,,once upon a time,,,lololol,,, My youngest bro has always loved to burn,,,fire has always fascinated him, and when his first son was about 4 or 5, i watched him trying to start a fire, in a fire pit yall,,,with those paper matches, burning his fingers over and over.  Well, guess what his favorite Aunt gave him for Christmas that year,,,hahahaha,,,boxes of strike anywhere matches!!  Told bro and SIL that he was the only one i would do that for.  Knew it would be ok with them.  My other nephew, grown, asked me WHERE i got those,  all he could find were strike on box ones.  Well that kid is grown now too, and he never burned the house down.  My bro still likes to burn, and has lots of stuff to burn, being in construction.  Has a really good fire pit, where some of us were on Christmas day.  lolol.  Watching some little fire bugs,,throwing stuff in.

http://blogspot.sharedbook.com/blog2print/googleblogger/index.html

This is a place you can use to make books of your blogs.  I love it, and intend to do it.  This is as good as, or better than a journal, since it's something we do almost daily.  I have a list of all my passwords in a note pad thingy close by, (cause i have to use it sometimes, lol).  I don't have any reason not to have them all written down for anyone that will maybe need them in the future. 

Caught a glimpse of the weather forecast,,HA,,but,,it says warmer thru the next week.  One day about 3 or 4 weeks ago, my china berry trees had dropped their GREEN leaves overnite!! Every last one of em, all laying there on the ground, still green.  How did they do that?  Don't think i've ever seen that before.

Ok,,think i'm gonna have to go back to youtube,,hahahahaha,,,but yall tc,,,and

Cmon Gimme TWO,,

2 more will make my 10000th visitor. 

And to let all of you know, i had a wonderful! Christmas.  Lots and lots of people, lots and lots more of food.  Lots and lots of poker playing later, had to stay warm,,  Did sit out for a while by bro's fire pit.  Some of the little ones were only too glad to keep it going.  When i came dragging my rear home last nite, i was worn out.  To start with, that niece and her family came by about 9:30 and stayed a while, soooo enjoy them. 

Did i tell you? I cooked 5 lbs of potatoes, so i had a great big bowl to carry.  The lid didn't work good, so i had to be so careful not to drop them.  Could see myself doing that the whole way over there. lolol,,but,,,didn't.  There were 2 turkeys, with 2 huge pans of dressing, a ham, then so many fixings, i don't think i could remember all of them.  I couldn't eat any more, after i had eaten lunch, so i brought home a small plate for today.  O yeah,,,lots and lots of sweets,,,

Ok, thru with that.  Getting hungry now.  For waffles,,,hahahaha.  Need a regular day here,,,My dotter gave me a memory foam pillow, but,,i can not sleep on it.  About 2:30 AM i got up and changed it back.  Hope i can take it back, because that was on my list of things i wanted.  She had asked me to do that, and after thinking about it, i did.  Beats getting useless stuff, u know.

Does that BB like to keep you in suspense ,,,or does he not?,,,  Hey boy, get your azz back here, and explain!  Too early for riddles,,,lololol.

Ok,,gotta make a move,,might get dressed,,well, out of this robe,,lol.  Waffles were darned good.

Yall tc, and
