Getting a spectacular amount of nothing done so far this vacation.  I did manage to clean my bathroom (thank-god) and our bedroom.  Well mostly, still a couple of baskets of clean clothes needed to be folded/put away but am procrastinating that till tomorrow.  Still a vast improvement over the multiple piles o'crap, wrapping paper, shopping bags, ( Read more... )

A pleasant day all around, got to sleep in a bit and relax before heading over to the mother in law @ 10:30-ish.  Crash went over early to prepare for breakfast, home made banana and monkey breads, Starbucks coffee and all I had to do was show up!  LOL
Scary Spice arrived shortly after with the three grands in tow, and in a flurry of paper shreds ( Read more... )

wow.  I sure picked a week to come back huh.  I dunno, guess most of the changes don't either effect or bother me... so far.  I did note someone complained that the were switched to auto pay without their permission, I don't think this was anything nefarious, as it has happened to me before, it takes two seconds to switch back.  However if you're ( Read more... )

Things might be looking up for me, I'm very hopeful for the new year.  First and formost, Scary Spice may have landed a job, which if it works out, will go a long way to paying her own bills, also her hours will be such that my babysitting services will be minimal and frankly while I love my grandchildren, they wear me out.  She applied for and is ( Read more... )

Well I am not a big fan of mint anything, but one day last year I was looking for some relief from my endless chronic acid re-flux, which evidently I've had for awhile, but rarely feel any discomfort from aside from this now perpetual case of swollen tonsils.  Anyway, I had read that mint sometimes helps, so while in Target one day I bought their ( Read more... )

Two weeks ago we made the decision to get a new bed, and I was thrilled.  Then I was ecstatic when DH decided that since we were moving the old bed out anyway (a huge monstrosity that frankly was the excuse not to paint or do anything to that room for the whole 20+ yrs we've lived here) we might as well move everything out and paint, and since ( Read more... )

 
I've just discovered Stacy's Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips, and am now doomed to weigh 1000 lbs!  Oi vey

PT is kicking my butt big time, now instead of a sore knee I have a sore calf too!!!

Looking forward to our weekend in Ormond Beach, we'll be leaving around noon Friday and home Sunday after we go to my MIL for dinner.  I've got to think of ( Read more... )

 So even though I've graduated to a cane, I'm still somewhat limited.  However, in the spirit of not wanting to seem to be taking advantage of being waited on...

I made a batch of muffin tops (no biggy I used a mix, but still...), baked them, drizzled glaze on them.
Set the water to boil, and made the tea.  told him it was all ready to go, all he had ( Read more... )

  
First off I need to stop taking my pain med's no matter how much my knee hurts because it makes me drowsy, and when I am sleepy I get cranky when things don't go my way.  And today everything is just not going even close to my way.

First off what is with Apple?  Seriously.  Everytime I go to update apps, or buy anything I get a message saying my ( Read more... )

 
Well, we've kind of decided to ditch AT&T and go with T-Mobile.  Now, trying to get the phones at prices that we can live with, and get all three of us phones we want.  Not so easy.  He kind of likes the sidekick, Crash & I both want smartphones w/touch screens but she wants both front and rear facing cameras.  Me I want the Holy Grail, the HTC ( Read more... )
