Well, I've been MIA for a while - too many issues to get into. I do come by and read the 'hood and keep up.
So, instead I'll post cats.
I'll explain later.
What's the biggest obstacle you've had to overcome within the last 24 hours?
Submitted by ILoveYouMr.Dragon.
Same as every day - getting my ass out of bed in the morning. I am not a morning person.
................Verizon, that you screwed up.
After spending an hour on the phone with them, trying to get online at work, and then spending the entire day offline - all the while they keep saying it has to do with us - we finally find out at 4 pm that they have a huge power outage in the next town. WTF?
And you know how they ask you to reset the modem all the time? Like I didn't do that first - and check all the connections for looseness. But they make you reset it again. Like it's a magical cure-all.
I have Optimum at home, and have faster internet and have never had a problem or been offline. And I have Vonage for phone service. I hate Verizon.
What's your favorite ingredient to cook with?
Food.
...it's enough. It's 60 degrees today, but it will snow this weekend and drop below freezing. And with the rain expected tonight, my yard will probably be a skating rink again.
Driving to work in 10 degree mornings is just getting old. And I know I'm not the only one ready for spring. I do love winter.....but sometimes it gets too damn cold for too long.
As for my weekend in New Hope....it was wonderful. We want to go again in warmer weather. Not that we minded the cold, and it wasn't too cold really, my hubby would like to go when things are turning green and we can sit outside at one of the pubs to eat and drink.
As for life...it's being life. Chaotic, unpredictable...as usual. But never boring.
Do cats throw up on your things on purpose? Are they mad? Trying to tell you they don't get good food, or enough treats? And how do they puke in the weirdest places?
This made me laugh out loud. I have to wonder what the hell he's thinking about.
here's a kitty for Sunkist and her midget conversations...
.......crap-tacular. Sunkist said it in a post of hers, and in some comments - and I love it!! Whenever I get tooo cranky, I say it, and it makes me snicker.
And, It sums up the weather lately, my chaotic crap-shit weekends, that damn virus that keeps going around, the sudden multiple car problems and the piles of cat vomit I keep finding at home. In the weirdest places. How the hell does a cat vomit on the cable box? Or in my knitting bag? Or right on the spine of the book I am reading?
Everytime I find a pile, I say "crap-tacular!" and it makes me laugh out loud. My husband thinks I've lost my mind. But it's actually keeping me sane. Laughter can do that.
So, Sunkist, can you come up with a funny word like that describes pure chaos?? or anyone. So when the chaos smacks me in the face, I have something to say to make me laugh.
Some old lolcats....to laugh.
I swear, laughing works better than Tylenol.
.........and, no, not because of the Superbowl.
I couldn't care less. And even though I am from NJ, and I have met Bruce, bleh.
I came home from work Friday nite, after a good friday. My boss, who is now split from her partner, and we are the only two in her new company, decided that we should leave at 3 pm and go out for drinks. Ahhhh, nice.
But I get home and everyone is looking at me funny and asking if I used the computer that morning. No, I say. Apparently it turned off overnite and won't turn back on. It's now in the shop. Then hubby walks in and announces that his radiator in his truck split in half, and the head gasket in my sons car went bad. And my son and his wife were going away for the weekend. No car. Oh yes, and the printer took a shit too. I had to drag my laptop out to post this.
And.... the baby has croup and my daughter has walking pneumonia, and they were moving out into their new apartment this weekend. And it was so fucking cold, that we had to use cups of water to get the garage door open and all the car doors every time we wanted to open them.
What in blazing hell??
So my Dad lends my son a truck for the weekend, hubby moves my daughter out and now we probably can't go away for the weekend we wanted, because we have to pay for the computer and the radiator. Sucks. Forget the head gasket, the car is too old and has too many miles to fix it. My Dad gave my son his old Pathfinder, which hubby will have to make road-ready, but will be better than his Cavalier.
But the bright side - it's quiet here, only two of us this weekend, and after tomorrow only four of us. The baby has a new home, with plenty of space to run and play inside. It was just too crowded in this house - plus all her toys and riding horses and cars etc....
And.... this may be cold, but I'm born here, and this is nothing - Jersey can get fuckin cold and for a long time. I remember one winter there were chunks of ice in the ocean - large chunks. We had 30 degree below zero wind chills. That was cold. Today actually got over 40 degrees and felt like spring.
It may be hell right now, but tomorrow is a new day - and I will figure out how to get away for a weekend. Hubby and I will be married 29 years next month. And I have a 4 day weekend Presidents day weekend - thanks to my boss. We'll get away somehow.
Everyone have a nice weekend - and a better week!
............and I'm back. I almost wasn't. I knew I didn't feel well a few months ago, but I didn't know I was close to kicking the bucket.
BUT........ no more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some new doc had a clue and tested me, for what I didn't know, but found that my vitamin C level was 0. yes, that's right - 0. How the fuck is that possible? even the doc is flabbergasted. that's a third world problem. and you can't survive without vitamin C. I also had no carotene or vitamin D.
So, I took vitamins, and I am jumpin'! Haven't felt this well in 10 years.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who knew? A few chewable tabs in the morning and I feel human again.
As for Monty Python - I got the entire DVD set of episodes, plus 2 live performances for Xmas. funny shit.
Am I still busy at work - you bet ur ass. Bankruptcy is boomin. Do I still have to watch grandbaby every nite? no. my son-in-law, who was MIA after he got back from Iraq, is back, and he watches her. He and my daughter are staying married, working it out, and moving out next month.
There are 6 adults and 1 baby living in my tiny house right now.! it's crowded to put it mildly. I work alot of overtime right now. ;-)
It's amazing what doesn't bother me anymore, now that I am feeling good. and the leukemia tests were negative - woo hoo.
life just keeps getting better and better.
I wish all my neighbors a very happy new year, may wishes come true, and may you all feel as well as I do. :-)
...when I saw this.... some people have great imaginations.
