Got That New Faucet

Instead of blogging today, the guy came and put in my new faucet.  Well, no problem doing that part,,was getting the old one out!   It was done when i bought this house, maybe 12? years ago, and everything was new at that time.  But squeezed inside under it, then the tight place up under it,,made for a lot of slow work,, Was a snap putting the new one on....  Took him maybe 2 hours. 

Late yesterday my stomach started feeling yuck,,,then,,the diarrhea hit.  Have no idea where that came from.  I didn't eat supper, and then later i ate some peanut butter  crackers.  It's ok today.  N told me that G wasn't feeling good either and had gone to bed yesterday,,,now, for him, that is unusual.

Ok gonna eat my oatmeal now,,so yall tc, and

What a Day

Yep, 3 tables filled totally up with food, and another with desserts.  Had those BIG Styrofoam plates to eat on too.  With this many people, it's not formal.  It's buffet style.  I didn't even get a small sample of half the stuff.  I hated it that i got so full, i couldn't,...hahahaha.  I did bring home a small plate of small cuts of pies, later.  Pecan, choc, buttermilk, cheesecake.  Ate a little of that for supper,,,  My dotter had said if there was no ham, she was taking a ham sandwich,,,lolololol. But there was.  Turkey and ham, with so many side dishes, no way to get a taste of them all.

Came home and napped,,,lololol,,,went back later for poker.  The sheriff showed up to play too.  His stepson is married to my niece, and he nearly always comes over to play poker.  Her 3 kids have been like his own grandkids always.  I won a little,,,lol.  We just play nickel, dime, quarter.   Just for fun.  When we play moon, we used to play quarter loss, quarter hickey.  One day, bro B said,,let's do dollar, dollar,,and we all said OK,,,hahahahaha,,he didn't think anybody would agree.  Heck, used to play at the bar and they always said i won all their money,,, But when i went in the door, they would holler,,,come on!!! Need a player...

One time there was a new man playing at a table with 2 others, and i went over there and asked if i could join them,,2 said Yeahhh.  The new one frowned, scowled,,didn't like it...Til i set some moon bids,,Later he slid to a stop one day, just to tell my sis,,I could sure play moon!  He didn't know we ALL had all our life,,,hahahahaha.  I didn't like to play with women either,,,hehehehe,,,they almost always had their minds on other things,,wouldn't stay with the game.

Don't know what's going on, but the net is so slow today, taking forever to do anything.  And it's not my signal! 

Hope you all had a great day, yesterday,,,tc and

Thanksgiving,,2012

I'm still sitting here, have been reading blogs,,,lololol.  But all i have to do is get dressed, and it's 9 AM.  Even have the dishes done.

I'm making my 2 waffles even tho we eat at noon. 

I think this parade is just no good any more.  It's all balloons!  Guess no one does floats any more.  So i turned it off....

J had a terrible muscle spasm yesterday when he woke up from a nap, what he calls lock up.  There didn't seem to be anything we could do.  He had missed his meds by an hour.  Slept thru it.  He just had to let them wear off.  Might be 2 months of this, before those muscles and ligaments heal.

He was headed home later to make his famous pecan pies...  Said he's spent about 20.00 on pecans for 2, and could have bought them for 4.99 each.

Well, too early for any news around here, but i do have LOTS to be thankful for.  So yall tc, and

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.

Yall tc, and
