Home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This will be real quick. Cuz I've got to spend some Lovee time don't cha know!!!
We had a most fantabulous time in Chicago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll do a proper post later on complete with drunkin Ho pics and stories.

Came home to my lil pkg from Farmer*s wife!!!!!! Yay-raw!!!!!!!!! I was soooo craving chocolate all the way home today....on the plane no less and we all know they don't carry the really necessary stuff...well...those little bottles are in that category but they should come with chocolate too! Anywhoodle...she sent me a CD of George Strait AND Taylor Swift!!! PLUS............the chocolate bar which is sitting comfortably in my tummy now and a Texas A&M koozy!!!!!! Do I feel special??? Hell yes!!!!! I'm on top of the world now!!

I Missed my Lovee something awful! ETK and I had a marvelous time with Cheekymonkey and her lil monkeyboy and her Babe!!!!!!!! I already miss them!

SOoooo, gotta jet.............Lovee is looking all sexy-smokin-hot and I gotta go get me some of that!

There's no place like home!
Hola bitches..........I'm not afraid!( new mantra ;))

One last grape squeeze...

before I head off for my mini vaca to see ETK and Cheekeymonkey......

First off, ETK did a great job talking about friendship that I think may be of interest to all. If you have the time, go read it. She says it very well. :)

the other day, Dad asked me what something was. I looked to see he was holding a Dime.
Dad: what's this? I found it but I can't tell what it is.
Me: That's a dime Dad.
Dad: A what?
ME: A dime Dad...you know, 10 cents....money...a coin.
Dad: A dime?
Me: yea....it's small and probably hard to see but that's a dime.
Dad: Oh.....a dime?....I knew it was some sort of metal but I couldn't figure out what it was. It's a dime?
ME: yep....want me to put it in your coin purse?
Dad: No....( looking confused ) I'll just put it here on my table until I figure out what to do with it.

:(....made me sad. His tigers and leopards are gone but he's getting more confused on other things.

Brighter note. Lovee and I went to see a movie Saturday!! Actually, dinner AND a movie. Woo-hoo for us. Date night!!!!!!!!
After we finished at the wedding reception, which I forgot my camera!! :(.....we had us some fun. We saw Road to Rodanthe. Gracious..........Kleenex was in order about half way through. Everyone was sniffing when we left. If you love romance stories...go see it. But, bring lots of tissues!!!!!! Richard Gere is a H.O.T.T.I.E!!!!!!!

I'm still so tickled about my Crock not a cock dianne ;) Gary the Potterman is so very talented. I'm thinking everyone may be able to find some gifts for Christmas over there. Be sure and check him out if you haven't already.

So,ya'll know about my trip to Chicago right? Did you also know that I don't like to fly? Nope...not one bit. Eons ago, when Lovee and I and the kids flew back from Japan ( we were stationed there for 3 years!!) we got all the way to St. Louis w/o any mishap. After our plane took off...maybe 15 to 20 minutes into the flight...the plane hit a wind shear. Seriously!!!!! I was sitting with my Sunshine gal and Lovee was with babyboy. I remember I had a death grip on the armrests and Sunshine was saying how pretty the lights on the ground looked!!!!!!!!!! Holy fucking shit was going through my grape We were headed for the ground!!!!!!!! Grab your ass and hang on was taking up too much room in the grape! Lovee and I yelled our 'I Love yous' to each other. Moments later the Hero ....our pilot...got control and we headed on into Tulsa. I've hated to fly ever since. Lovee won't be with me this time to keep my fears in check...but with the help of those little bottles ;).....I think I'll be ok. After all.........I found my Lovee in this lifetime.....I can find him in another if need be....right? right!!!!!!! He's my rock. I'll miss him awful....but I know us girls will have a blast! I mean, I'm finally getting to meet cheekymonkey.....who wouldn't be excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heart my blobbies!!!!
I think about all ya'll all the time. Wondering what you're doing and how things are in your world....Hoping one day I get to finally meet every one of you.
I won't have my LT but ETK will so hopefully I can dictate she's my 'go to' galslave don't cha know and she will type a quick post to tell ya'll how much fun we're having!!!!! woo0hoo............

Enjoy your weekend blobbies!!

Tile pics....

I'm not sure if I've shown these before....but I thought I'd give ya'll a wee sample of our tile handywork.. :) this top pic shows the mosaic I did going from the laundry room into the hall way. We wanted to change the pattern and needed something to let the space do that. It's groovey!!!!!!!!This one is the laundry room..That was our starting point and first attempt. I think we kicked ass!!!!!! Of course the entire project is done now...but I haven't taken those pictures yet.
Am I lazy or what??? (don't answer that!)

Maybe after I get back from Chicago I can put up the finished product. I've gotta show the baseboards that Lovee's put in....he worked like a dog to get this all done. Oh sure, I helped...I mean I DID have knee pads and all............ Monica's not the only one who knows how to use those don't cha know..hahahahahah But Lovee, cuz he's all buff and strong like an ox and still wears a Speedo when he swims!!! yea baby!! and multi-talented.....did most of the work. He's awsome. :)

Lookie!!! Lookie!!! it's here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess what was sittng on our table when I got home tonight????? Yep!!!!! My package from Gary the Potterman!!!!!! Woo-hoo...........my crock is here. Plus a couple extra tidbits thrown in just because Gary is the greatest Potterman in the UNIVERSE!!! Lovee did the honors of snapping a few pics for me to share. If you'll look out our window there on the right...you'll see the bird sanctuary that Lovee and I built...it's hard to see....I'll have to get a better pic of that for sure. Need to take care of our feathered friends too.:)
Of course the first pic is of the box.... duh tt...


This pic is all about the tape. Seriously....they guy LOVES tape. It took me several minutes to cut through all the tape on the OUTSIDE!! Gary, you got stock in tape??? It always helps if the tongue is sticking out....evidently....
Yep...still trying to get into the box................I was determined that's for sure!!!!

Ta-dah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Inside was a note from Gary...awwwww....he's so sweet.... I'm not sure who the fluffy lady is in these pictures...it can't be Moi!!!

And here's My Precious!!!! The Beagle on the top is fabulous....just like Penny!

One of my surprises was one of those wee little pots! Soooo cute....I'm wondering if toothpicks will fit in there....I'm just thinking about it cuz I don't have any....Lovee had an accident in the garage with ours. don't ask!!! snickersnort

'And still another surprise!! Pig on a stick.....er..... Pin in a poke......er.... Pig on a pencil... yea, that's it. Soooooo cute! I did a little 'Sqeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee'....just for Farmer*s Wife :)

And, what's in here???? My spoon rest of course!!!!!!!!!!! Only took me 2 or 3 minutes to get that opened. Geesh....the man LOVES tape. Were you afraid it would escape from the box???? teehee ;) More tongue action.....I didn't realize I did that so often. Most of the pics Lovee took I had my damn tongue out..What's with that???? who knows............

And viola!!!!!!!!!! The final products!!! Crock with Beagle , that would be a cock for Dianne :) spoon rest, wee pot and oinker on a pencil!!

did I make a haul or what???????

I LOVE THEM..LOVE THEM...........LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Gary..........You rock!

A rushed post....

3 more days and ETk and I will be in Chicago. I'm so blasted excited I can't focus on anything..

Tile project is 99% finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pictures after I return from Chi town.:) I know you're anxious. I'm waiting on the final special crock from Gary. You MUST see it completely done! ha And it's not done untill it's here.

I'm anal....I know..what;s new right?

Dad wondered what a piece of metal was doing on his side table...
it was a dime. He didn't recognize it...even after I told him what it was. He said it looked like some sort of coin but wasn't sure. He's still not sure.

I'm gonna miss my Lovee something awful!!!!!!!! I don't like being away from him...but this was such a special trip that I had to do it. But I'll miss him terribly!!!!!!!!!!! ( sniff-snif )

I'm on my laptop...so naturally Mom needs me...
Go figure...........
tis my life......
gotta go......

I'm so behind in reading everyone....
What;s going on????????
I'm feeling left out...and I Hate that!!!!!!!!!!

She becons again.......
I'm outie...
missin' all ya'll.......

Save your tatas!!

I don't think I have an original thought bone in my body....so I'm going to follow the crowd this time and go PINK.

We've got to be mindful of the Big C.

And in honor if the occasion....I'll share a little something with ya'll.
I haven't had a mamo since I was 34!! Seriously. That was.....hummm, a long time ago. ;)
I've now got one scheduled for later this month thank.you.very.much.
I'm gonna bite the bullet and go get squished.
Better to bite that bullet than one more serious. Right?
Right.

Schedule your appt...............now please.

It's ready!!!!!!!

Guess what???

My red crock is ready!!!!!!!!!!!! PLUS a spooon rest to match. I can't wait to get them. Should be here next week.

I was just over at the Pottersman's blog to see the finished product. He's put a cute little beagle...whom I will always call Penny!! on there and it has dots!! Yea...dots. Red with dots....

what's that you say??? Sounds like a Ladybug???

Sqeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Yea baby!! You know I have a Ladybug tattoo, sitting on a leaf of a sunflower...on my ankle.

I'm sooo excited.

Anywho....to my BFF.....click on the hyperlink...and go see it. If you run through his blog you'll meet the Missus and Spike le cat and Buster and of course Penny. Great family there for sure!!!

This is going to be a great day.
The Mom has a physical scheduled for today....But I'm still going to think positive. Last year, during a specific procedure, she screamed out "Jesus"....rather loudly.....so I'm hoping we won't have a repeat of that. Trust me you don't want to know what the procedure was. It's hard enough for me to be in the room with her during that w/o hearing her holler.

The dryer is buzzin..........
I'm dreaming of a crock..........
it's all good.

Thoughts for today

It's Mom's Birthday.....she's 84

I've misplaced my brain and I really miss it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the tile is down. Just have to finish grouting!! Thank goodness!!!

I'm rushed today.

I love my BFF.

I love my Bloggie friends!!!!

My house is a total wreck......no exageration!!!!!!!!!

Lovee rocks my world.

CheekyMonkey went on a surprise trip....her hubby rocks!!!

Lovee and I get to serve at a wedding reception this Saturday...should be interesting :)

I'll miss the Fair that's in town :(

I'm still missing my brain but I'm happy this morning....4 advils and 2 pain pills let me wake up w/o any pain this morning!!!!!!!! ( tilng is HARD on the back and knees!!)

My crock and spoon rest are done....Gary the Potterman says it's fabulous,,I'm anxious!!!

I love all my kids.

Squiddly is off to Cuba for a year!!!!!!!!! yikes!!! Keep him in your thoughts...I miss him and the family!!!

Gotta jet..........it's paint and spackle time....woo-hoo...the universe will thank me for that :)

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

Did I paint and spackle the Karma???

So, I was driving to the pharmacy today to get some .....um.... stool softeners meds for the parentals and my grape started squishing. All over me it went...I'd even go so far to say I splashed myself. lol

Karma. Yep. That's what splashed through the ol grape. I told Lovee last night that maybe I was getting this ass whoopin parental experience because I was such a rotten kid when I was younger. Karma was paying me back. We just chuckled and talked about other stuff.
But obviously, my grape conjured it back up today. Not sure if there's a connection between the 'meds' and karma....but there it is.
So, I squished out a few thoughts about when Karma gives back....is it the 'deed' or the 'action ' or is it a combination of offenses...what??? For example, if I cut someone off in traffic and then flip them off...then wish some ill-will on some other equally crazy driver later on in the day; does that count as 3 karma infractions...or just one because it all happened in one day? Does Karma make a distinction with time?
And....here's a nucking futs question. At what age does Karma start anyway? I mean, two year olds do some shitty/funny stuff....and sometimes on purpose too....but they're too young to understand or even know about karma....
Well, ok...that was a bad example...but when does it start? Does karma recognize the legal age in the U.S. when kids are held responsible for their actions?? Is it different in other countries because legal ages vary?? is that even a factor. When can a person be held responsible in terms of karma????
I'm making my grape waayyyyyyyy to squishie with this. I could site more examples but I'm dripping grape juice on my laptop.

So, here's my other question. Perhaps I can tie it all together. Probably not though.
How long must I pay all that 'bad karma' back? Is it even possible to pay it all back before i kick it?? Will, the mom all of a sudden become angelic and say sweet things and make me proud of what I'm doing???? ( Ok, I'm proud ......but frustrated too)
Did that last line just put my bad karma at risk?
I'm stopping............it;s snowballing in my head and I fear an avalanche.

^*&%^#$#$^

Goodness!!!!!!!!!!
I have to stop. I'm afraid I'll stain the carpet with all the leakage....and we just had it cleaned.

No Red Crocks???

So, I've been all over looking for a red crock. Yep...just a regular crock for my kitchen. i have a bunch of red things in my kitchen and I want a new container to put my utensils in. That's it. Just a red one. But can I find one?? NO!! I went to Walmart,Kmart,Pier One, Pottery Barn, Kirklands,Hobby Lobby.....no one has a red crock!!! WTF!!?????

So now what??

Well.........just as I was getting myself all worked up into a lather.....I remembered....Gary!!
So I'm gonna see if I can get one made!! How cool is that????

( please say yes...please :))

Waaaayyyyyyyy to busy!!

Good grief!!! I'm too busy to blog or even read any!!! Not good in my book. However, the business comes from tiling. THAT is a good thing!!
The kitchen proper...w/o the eating area is done. As well as the back splash. We decided to do that too. Good lawdie....snowballs in September!!! Do all projects snowball?? pfft.......This weekend...the eating area and the area by the back door should get done. Cross all your crossables!

Anywho...
The Mom is still good....and still talking about her German Chocolate cake. Of course, she's now talking about going on a diet too. She LOVES Oatmeal Raisen cookies too. With pecans of course. I bake her a batch about every 6 weeks. She eats two w/ lunch and two after dinner. Dad usually has either Chocolate pie, lemon pie or brownies. I bake those too! :)
I told her if she'd just cut down on the sweets she could probably get by w/o dieting. No desserts??????? You'd think I committed some sacrilege. Seriously!!! She said she'd cut down after this batch was gone. We'll see.

Lovee and I went down Monday to do their yard. When we were just about finished, Mom hurt her foot. She broke it last year...around August. So, guess what I had to do?? Yep...took her to minor emergency to get xrayed. Not broken....just strained. Thank the heavens above for that!!!! i asked her if she just wanted to skip the Emergency place and go straight to Denny's ( winkie-wink )....she paused for a few minutes..then said no....that's ok....we'll go there Saturday.
I reminded her that since they have to get fasting blood tests on Thursday that we'll be going there afterwards. You should have seen her face light up! So, she'll get a Denny's fix 2 times this week. It's nice to be in her world sometimes.

Gotta jet............
parentals are waiting.
Today is Dad's golf day.

Hopefully I'll get time to read some blogs today. I'm feeling left out. :( and a wee bit lonely not knowing what's going on with everyone. I'm missin' on ya something awful!!!! My world is getting stale....I need some excitement! Well.......Lovee provides quite a bit of that but I won't go there with ya. LOL........TMI!!!

The cure for Mom

DENNY'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep....she's fine today...
She was all happy and feeling good this morning, and just chompin at the bit to get to Denny's.
Wish it worked that easily for me. ;)

sisterlittle told me something yesterday that I'd forgotten. Way back in the 60's while on vacation in California...Pismo Beach to be exact....Mom,Sisterlittle and I saw a Palmist.( is that how you spell it when someone reads your palm???...)
Anywhoodle....One of the things she told the Mom was that she'd live until she was 84. Seriously! She mentioned it to SL while Lovee and I were on vacation this summer. So SL and I were wondering if perhaps she puts stock in that stuff too..you know how she believes her horoscope stars!
Hummmm...She turns 84 September 30.
All she wants is a homemade German Chocolate cake.( my specialty btw ;))
She's gonna get one.

let's stomp on some grapes...shall we??

I wonder if when you are in your mid 80's and something goes wrong.....if your thoughts go immediately to death????

I think mine would. That's what I think of whenever the parentals feel bad. I mean...being in your mid 80's is getting up there right?

Just curious.

Mom's cranky now. I guess that helps in some way. Whatever....I'm going out to smoke myself into a coma and further my own heart damage sit on the front porch and look at the blue sky and puffy clouds and take a few deep breaths.

Painted grape juice

Well, I guess our local paper was waiting for the 'after' stories about 9/11. The paper was full of them today. Still strange I think.
I'm not going to try and figure that one out. Doesn't matter really. That day has become more about personal connections and feelings. No matter where you were or what you were doing...or if you knew someone who died that day...or not.....it all affected us in a personal way. It will always be personal I think.

************************************************************

Just as I was leaving my house this morning, the house phone rang. I started to ignore it but for some reason decided not to. Good thing. It was the Dad.

D: TT this is your Dad

tt: Hi, Daddy, what's up?

D: Well, your mother isn't feeling too well. Are you on your way down here?

tt: I was just going out the door when the phone rang. What's wrong with her?

D: She's not feelong too well and I'm worried. Should I call EMSA? Or are you on your way?

tt: is she breathing?

D: Oh yea...but she doesn't feel well.

tt: Can she talk?

D: yea, but I don't know what to do. Are you on your way?

tt: AS soon as I'm off the phone with you, I'll be in the car. Call EMSA if she gets any worse ok?

D: Well....( pause )...ok, but hurry. I don't know what's wrong. Are you on your way?

tt: yep....I'm on my way.

D: ok, well hurry coz I don't know what to do.

Well, that was a wee bit unsettling. I got here in about 18 minutes. It usually takes about 28.
Whenever I first get here in the mornings, I always call out, "It's boogers."
To which she always responds, " Ok, boogers."
So, on my way down here I was wondering if I would hear that?
I did. she was sitting on her throne loveseat relaxing...waiting for me.
Dad was in a panicked state. She had to use her Nitro spray 4 times she said. She was feeling better..." but your father isn't...he's scared b/c you weren't here...you're his security blanket".
She told him she was doing better and he said he was glad. she asked him why he panicked and he said," well, who'd stick my finger if you got sick?"
Well, that upset her all over again. I had to explain to her...for the hundredth time....that he didn't mean anything bad by that....he's got dementia Mom...remember...his brain doesn't function the same as ours....He's afraid to loose you.....
Well, that made her feel better.
She's really not feeling well though.
I can feel a cold sore forming........ shitfuckhelldamn

9/11 and spackle juices

Nothing in our local paper today about this remarkable date in our history.
That surprised me.

Just like when JFK was killed....I'll always remember it.

Peace out dudes and dudettes.

Oh, and lets all get together...put our minds in gear and try and 'will' Ike into oblivion. He's heading towards my urchins and Farmer*s wife.
That's a big ol bowl of Chicken Biskets there!

Shoooooo...go away!!!!

Spackling some juice...

Just a curious thing, but I'm wondering who's lurking at my blog in Europe???
That little map I have on my sidebar....it's showing someone.
But whom???
I'm just curious by nature.
At one time I would have thought it was R.E.H....that wonderful madman over in Sweden. But we haven't heard from him in months. I'm curious about that too. Where in the Chicken Biskets is he anyway?

The Mom was curious too. Again I had to explain what a blog is. She's now wondering if it's just for really lonely people who have no friends or "frustrated writers". LOL
She wanted me to read her one so I read her Ginni's. A View from my Garden, I think is the name. It seemed the most harmless one I could read that wouldn't take so much explanation. lol
Interesting.

Had to give the Dad a manicure today. Thank the heavens I don't have to do a Pedi for him. the Dr. does it. Sunshine girl used to....as a favor to him I think. God Bless her.....Not sure i could have done it. He paid her though and she needed the $$ at the time. Geesh, the things we do for some green!! Sunshine...you got some major Karma points for that i think. :)

Still raining.
shitfuckdamn I mean chicken biskets! :)
