Ahhh. finally on livejournal. I haven't been on in forever. I am having computer problems so I am using my Mom's Macbook. I am getting a little frustrated because I am not used to this computer. I haven't even called anyone. Its been crazy here. I have been painting and moving for my Mom. And the week before was Annie Oakley Days. So I'll start with that.
If you don't know her. She is the legendary sharp shooter. Annie get your gun is a musical about her. and she used to tour with Wild Bill Hicock. Anyway since we live so close to her birthplace, there is a festival for her every year. We also have this store called Kitchenaid Experience. They of course sell Kitchenaid stuff but they also do cooking demos and classes. Well each year they have what they call the Legendary sale. Thursday, Friday and Saturday they have sales on different things, and for the first 200 people they give you something free. This year it was cookie tray, loaf pan, and cake pan. In the past they have given out hand mixers, casserole sets, and even one year stand mixters. That ment getting up really early and sitting in line before the sun comes up for the free stuff. There are great sales and everything is free shipping. If you get a stand mixer, extra bowl, pouring shield and food grinder attachtment are free. And depending on how much you buy you can get other things. Like last year I got a 10 cup coffee maker and this year we got an imersion blender.
Plus Bitz was in the Civic Theater's Melodrama. She was the Scottish Villianess. And rensahannou will love her charaters name: Tiara McHara. If you don't know what a melodrama is, it is a kinda old western play that the audiance takes part in. You have to cheer when the hero comes on, and boo and hiss at the villian, and ahh for the heroine. I think Tuti would love melodramas, he would love heckling with the crowd as a villian. Names are really cheesy too. Like Pam Iscous was the librarian, and the retired horse thief was Clyde Dale. A local kid wrote the play and he did ok, but he is a jerk that is full of himself. He played the villian. My favorite character was the undertaker, he was hillariously creepy. The guy that played him is really good. He is 70 years old and suffered from a stroke but he still comes back and helps sometimes. Bitz is also going to be in the Murder Mystery Dinner this weekend. Everyone that goes to the dinner is a character of course but the big parts are planned and done by actors.
This week was full of painting, cleaning carpet and moving furniture. Because we were cleaning Mom wanted to do the whole house so that ment reorganizing EVERYTHING. The pantry, cupboards, garage, etc. Mom got new furniture so we had to get ready for it. Our house was built in the seventies so it is very seventies. Sunken living room and planters. My sisters' boyfriends even helped tons. It was a lot of work but I love the new furniture. It is TALL. for TALL people. My feet just barely touch the floor when I sit down. Its great.
As a reward we went to Kings Island Friday. It was insane. We are going thru a heat wave so it was in the upper 90's and humid on top of that. The lines were really short because it was so hot. Mom is so happy she retired. She would have had to go to school on Friday and they don't have air conditioning.
Great Mom's back must go even though I have so much more to talk about.
Hey Zika_desua and Rensahannou I got a suprize for you. I am going to try to mail it tomorrow.
