It's Friday...woo-hoo we made it..... again

2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's it. Only 2 little ol weeks until ETK and I take Chicago by storm!!!!!!!! I'll finally get to meet Cheekymonkey and her little monkeykid and her babe. I've got bats in my belly just thinking about it.

think they'll know what hit them?? lol

Who am I kidding? snickersnort...........I don't take anything by storm these days. I may pass a little wind now and then but that's about it.
roflmao!!!!!!!!did I really say that??????
yes you did TT...you're over 50 and can say what the hell you want as long as it's not directed at your parents

It's Friday peeps......
.....that means take the Dad to the Club for golf and the Mom for her hair appt. She's getting a perm today...late in the day so I'll get home late. No biggie.
That's it. ...I think............
Well, I still need to recon for a Denny's but other than that it should be a nice day. But then again, I 'll have to explain for the 100th time to the Dad about this whole financial mess the Banks got us in.....it's a loop every day. And I'll have to talk to the Mom about why her head itches all the time....And Dad will have me look at one of the sprinkler heads.....again.....and we'll talk about why it's leaking. He refuses to call anyone to come out and fix it. I think it keeps his mind busy....which is actually a good thing I guess.

I'll pull out the laptop again( hopefully) and we'll talk about why people 'blob'. :)
Yep.......My day started about an hour ago and I can tell it's gonna be a full one. Woo-hoo!

On a side note: I got my lip and brow rip done last night. Ouchie!!!!!! It's a good thing actually, but the surprise is that my 'rip' gal has her beautician in her shop now!! I got all giddy and excited and booked an appointment for Saturday!! Yep...I did it. I took it as an omen. I've been bitching biggly complaining about my last haircut for a month now....go figure....again....and trying to decide if I can trust? her to give me just a wee trim before the Chicago trip or should I just hold off and hope that I'll still be able to fix it. I know you gals understand this....right? Well, the ones who wear their hair long don't have this worry, but the ones with short hair will totally get it.
Anywhoodle....
I told 'sherry, about how I fucking loathe and detest having my hair cut opposite of what I said would rather NOT have my hair cut above my ears and that I like it a bit spiky.....and guess what???? She understood. She asked questions, fooled with it a bit and told me what she could do. I'm happy. For now ;)
We'll see. I'm eternally optimistic.
Gotta be in my line of work don't cha know.

Happy weekend ya'll.

Did you feel that???

You may have felt...oh...I don't know exactly what to call it....a slight shift in the earths axis??? or perhaps you may have thought you heard a sonic boom??? OR....maybe you just thought things just felt a wee bit off today?

Let me tell ya...it wasn't your imagination. No-sirree!!!!!!!!
At about 8:45a.m. central standard time, today, Denny's closed their doors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know!!!!!! I think I'll hear your collective gasps. The audasity of those people. Don't they realize that keeping the parental units happy and content is paramount in my life??? Do they even care? Probably not. But we were just there last Saturday morning. Now, this morning they had a hand written sign on the door saying they will "close at 3 p.m. on Saturday, the 20 of September. Sorry for the inconvenience".

OMG!!
" what'll we do...what'll we do"..was the mantra the Dad kept chanting.

The Mom had a fasting blood test this morning for her physical next week ( that'll be another interesting day!!!) and as usual was looking forward to her extra Denny's trip. Needless to say, it caused quite a stir and made for a lot of conversation in the car whilst I looked for another suitable replacement. Conversation is actually a stretch...more like multiple loops. You know Dad....Mr. Loopy ;)
We drove to another Denny's...and ....gasp!!...it had the same sign.
Our waitress, Sharon, had actually told us last Saturday that the owner hasn't been paying the food bills which is why the note on the doors says no credit cards or debit cards. He's been trying to gather enough cash to pay the bills. She mentioned that they would run out of food ( I detest that word...food... btw....but that's another post ) by the afternoon. Guess they did.

We ended up at Village Inn. The same one Lovee and I went to, the 'morning after' our wedding,( almost 35 years ago!!!) before we left town. It was, as the Mom said"ok, but it's not Denny's". I have to agree. The French toast wasn't nearly as good and the parentals said the coffee wasn't very good. They said it was bitter. ( Hummmmm, that's how I've always describe coffee ) My iced tea was good though.
I have to recon the town later on today and see if all the other ones are closed too.
Lets hope not.
They don't like change.
and i want my world to get back to normal..or a semblence there of. :)

Note to self: check out IHOP.

It's 2:5 p.m. and they're still talking about it.
I'm thinking I need to go to the store.
gotta jet........
I'm outtie.

Prayers would be appreciated ;) Saturday is just around the corner.

SOS*********** can you see me waving my white flag???????????
hello....
anybody out there from Denny's????
Don't make me cop an attitude.
it won't be pretty!

Hump day spackle squishers

Man.....stuff was just running through the grape this morning. Guess I better lay off the iced tea for a bit. :)

So, here's my queries~~~~~~~

Who decides what the 'new' colors for a season are? I heard that purple is the fall color. Dark purple if your skin tone is dark....and light purple if your skin tone is light.
Really?.....why? what if you skin tone is in between? Then what???

ETK had family visiting her last weekend. That's a good thing but what wh did with her time while they were there was a novel idea to me.
She actually scheduled "me" time. Yep.....just for her to get things done w/o anyone else around!
I never in a million eons thought of doing that. Wouldn't have had the courage or nerve. Kudo's to her I say!!!

I wish we had 'smell-a-vision' on our TV. Some of the things on the Food Netword look soooo scrumpdillyishus and I know they'd smell heavenly. If I could smell it I'd stand a better chance of actually making it. lol

Mom was woeful the other morning at Dennys. she wondered what they'd do "without our TT".
ETK and I go to Chicago in about 3 weeks. I told her Lovee would take them to Dennys on Saturday and church on Sunday....but she stayed woeful....she knows Lovee is so good to them...but it just won't be the same she said.
Hummmmmm...perhaps this will be a wee bit of time for her to gain a little more perspective? We'll see.

I'm addicted to HGTV!!
I'd like to have smellavision here too! I want to be able to smell the wood being cut and the new paint being put on the walls. It's the last thing I watch before I fall asleep. Seriously!
( hear that gals......I may need to do that in Chi-town)

Tiling is bad for the finger nails! I've just about lost all of mine. I hate...absolutely loathe gloves. So, in the course of scratching off the thinset or grout, I've managed to peel away my nails too. Sometimes that's a big ouchie!
Whatever..........the tile looks great and we're in the home stretch! Yay!!!!!!!!!!

Lovee and I got to go to a party last Friday evening. Woo-hoo! A friend from my 'old' place of employment...got married in Vegas and a bunch of us got together to celebrate. Fun times I tell ya. We don't get out very often....so that made it even more fun. My Margarita was especially delish!!!!!!!

And here's a biggie.
I read on Meno's blog that one should never tell ones IRL friends or family about your blog. Of course I realize that's her opinion....but I 've told everyone about mine. I thought it might be a way for them to keep up with my life if they were so inclined. i do realize i censor myself at times b/c I wouldn't want to rant about someone who reads this...but that's a minor thing to me. My urchins, or at least a couple of them do read this as does Lovee....but my friends don't. I think that's curious. Especially my so called "Best Friend". she said she prefers to get her information face to face. of course we hardly ever talk face to face so she never knows what's up. Hummm...guess she's really not that "into me". lol

What I find really interesting is that some of my blog buddies 'get me' more than my IRl friends.
So, of course that leads me to another unanswerable quesion.
If i knew my blog buddies IRL....... would we hang out together....would we still 'get' each other..would our everyday antics become a problem and drive a wedge between our friendship?

Just curious squishers.

anywhoodle...............have a great Wednesday..( why is that spelled that way instead of 'windsday')
I know .......who cares! ha
