Wednesday already!

Time sure flies.  Schools around here will be having conferences for the next couple days, so if the weather is good the neighborhood shouldn't be too quiet.

Well Chaz finally went home.  He was on there way too long.  I would like to see Nancy Grace go next, but I think it will be Maks and Hope.  I think he upset not only the judges, but the audience when he said it was his show.  Hope isn't that good but she's not too bad either.  I think her athletic build doesn't help.   The other athletes that have been on DWTS have looked a little better for the ballroom.

I have a chicken in the oven already.  Why so early?  I'm going to make a Chicken Pot Pie and it has to be cooked first.  My sister Jodi did this a couple weeks ago and it was great.  I can hardly wait for it to be done. 

Sister Rhonda had a trip to the ER last night.  She's has chest pains a couple times after eating so they went and had it checked out.  I thought maybe gall bladder because that's how mine reacted, but no, they found nothing wrong.  Heart and gall bladder are fine.  Just one of those things I guess.

  

The weatherman we watch in the morning is off on a trip to Mexico.  He is getting married.  The frightening thing is, it's right where that hurricane is headed.  I sure hope it fizzles out before then.      

Have a good day. 

Just Tuesday

Had a little run to the store this morning just to pick up a few things.  Why is it when you get there you wonder if you needed anything else?  Resisted the urge to grab.  Better do what I should have done in the first place. 

Anyway, on the way this car keeps crawling up our right side and the suddenly pulls across 2 lanes to turn left in front of us.  As we already had the blinker on indicating we were going that way, the jerk could have just got behind (no other cars turning there) and not made such a dangerous move.  He didn't get any farther either as there was a car in front of us and he keep the speed limit too.  Serves him right.

Watch DWTS last night.  Just love watching J.R.  He just moves so smoothly, gliding along as if it all is natural thing for him.  I hope he wins.  He sure has what it takes.  Ricki is doing real well too.  She has the best partner I feel.  Boy the testiness between Max and Len was a shocker.  I couldn't believe when Len said he had been in the business for 50 years and Max said maybe it was time he got out.  Good thing Tom has the ability to keep control.  I think that could have gone on for quite awhile.

You all have a good day.  

Manic Monday

At least that's what some call it.  I prefer Mellow Monday.  I guess because I don't have to go to a job anymore and can plan for whatever I want.  Whether that's many things to do or nothing at all.

Do you believe in superstition?  Good luck things. I never have but I know some do.  They carry special trinkets, do certain routines etc.  Well I'm beginning to wonder.  I wore the same shirt for all the games the Badger played and went undefeated, and this Sat. wore a different one and they lost.  I watched the games the Brewers won and couldn't stay awake for the wons they lost.  Now I have worn the same t-shirt and my Packers necklace for all the games so far and they're still winning.  I have a brand new shirt and am afraid to wear on game day, lol.  Isn't that silly.  Guess I'll just have to stick with it until the fateful day it fails.  Not sure about these type of things, but not taking any chances.

A strange thing here.  According to the task bar on the computer I am not connected to the internet.  There is a little red x on the spot.  Now I have been on and around my sites, my home page, msn, fb etc.  This has been like this for 2 days.  Oh well, as long as it works.

Guess it's to be a nice day here.  May have to go out and enjoy it.  These days will be few and far between for a few months.  Sure not looking forward to all the ice and snow.  A short winter would make a hapy camper here. 

Time to go a see what I have here for breakfast.  You all have a good day.

Here it is.

My new toy.

I will say.  Windows 7 takes some getting used tol

Doesn't he look cute?  LOL   No costume, but he has the hat. 

Danielle bought that at school.  Just had to have it for her Daddy.

Just finished the latest Richard Castle book, Heat Rising.  Was pretty good.  Now it's making the rounds of other readers.  Darla took it to work for one of the girls to read then she's going to read it.  

Put away the summer clothes today.  Held off as long as I could.  It seems like summer just flew buy and Indian summer took a quick hike too.  39 here at the moment.  Brr.  And I still have one rose bush with flowers on it.  Darn thing actually still has some buds.  I doubt they'll open now.  The way time is flying I had better sit down and make my Christmas list.  I know I mostly get gift cards as that's usually what they all ask for, but I would like to check out catalogs and stores and see what else is out there.  Would like to be done before Dec.1.

The weekend is here.  No big plans.  I'm sure the tv will be blasting football and racing.   Pray there are no accidents like last week.  How sad that was. 

You all have a good weekend.

GO BADGERS!  GO PACKERS!

Just yaking.

Good Morning!  Here I sit with my Cheerios and coffee, ready to start the day.  I hope your is going to be a good day. 

Yester day I talked about Halloween costumes and Paul asked what's a sock monkey.  Here it is Paul

There is a car company advertisement that has someone in a suit like that driving their vehicle and hubby thinks it's a cool costume.

Today's agenda is learning more about the new laptop and kindle.  Have already download 3 books and a game.  It's a crossword game.  I like word games.  Danielle sent me an email with tons of books that can be downloaded.  Between her, Amazon and Ereader I'll be spending most of the time picking some out, lol.

Going to get me a mini-vacation at the begining of the Nov.  Hubby and a friend are going bow-hunting and doing some work on the friends property up in the area they hunt in.  So there will be no one following me around, picking and teasing me,  looking over my shoulder etc.  Man, I'm going to miss him. 

Well not much else going on here.  Again, you all have a good day.

Quiet here.

It's so quiet here.  Hubby has gone off to practice with his bow for hunting season so tv is off.  It is a great invention, but sometimes it seems like it's just noise.  I think all the years I worked nights alone in a quiet school building have made me a little less tolerant of sound.  As you know from past posts I don't watch a love of tv.  One daytime soap and a couple shows on Mon. & Tues.  As to Monday, I sure hope one of the right people go home tonight.  It's painful to watch Chaz, Carson and Nancy. 

Haven't done much playing on this new machine to see what all it can do yet.  Do you ever get afraid to try something for fear you'll mess up the whole machine?  Sometimes I do.  Taking my time.  Did download a couple of books and a game onto my Kindle. Some of the free ones.  Now to read them.

Banged my hand on the door the other day and now have a big bruise.  Hate when that happens.  Ordered a wig from a company for costumes.  Have one here I want to do but needed a wig to make it more realistic.  Turned my sister Jodi onto the site and she ordered a costume.  It's called PartyBell.com and boy are they quick.  It only took about 3 days to get here.  Have a costume in mind for Jack and haven't decided if he will be a sock monkey or a scotsman. 

I guess that's enough blabbering for now. 

You all have a good day.

    

Hi!

Here I am on my new laptop.  Boy do things look different on this compared to my desktop. I think part of it is the large screen, but also the home screen version of aol on Windows 7 king of threw me for a loop.  Still so much to figure out and but so far I just love it. 

Sorry to say I have another funeral to attend to.  A 4 mo. old baby who was the granddaughter/great-granddaugther of one of Jack's sisters and niece. It's was a 'sids' death.  I just can't imagine such a thing.

Needless to say this is a very short post.  Hope everyone has a good day.

Take care and God Bless you all.
