The usual

No knitting again today because it was too hot. But I did get a crap load of stuff done around the house. There's still a ton to do but I made a dent. YEAH!

I also went grocery shopping -- blessing: I had enough money to buy what we needed!

And I washed all my bedding.

Sandy isn't going to the Cosmic meeting or the investigation so I emailed Donna to see if she can pick me up.

Running around

Went out with Sandy on a regular Saturday. We went to a few stores and bought a few things. That's about it. It was hot but dry so the weather was tolerable!

The Swagbucks thing is working in my post.

swagbucks part two

I removed the swidget because it was just blank with an exclamation point today. Wonder if I can put it here?



Ok, guess so. We'll see if it leaves here too!

Swagbucks

So I found out Swagbucks has this widget thing that you can get codes from. I put it on the bottom of the page here so hopefully I'll remember to use it. I can also search using it, if I remember. :)

Better day weather-wise and I'm praying we don't get the heat they're predicting for the weekend. I'd love to get some knitting done.

Still battling the governor and the union leaders and we have an informational meeting on Tuesday. I am so discouraged. The governor is threatening like crazy and putting rifts between people. He's forcing us to do what he wants by saying he'll lay more people off and if we don't vote yes he'll take sports out of the tech schools. I will not vote yes. I will NOT vote yes.

Warm but dry

I'm enjoying today's blessing -- a not humid summer's day. It's still hot out but at least tonight is nice. Last night was pretty nice too.

Better today

Heat wise. It was HOT but then rained a tiny bit and cooled down some. Still too humid for knitting tonight. I will be loving it when fall hits. :)

Not complying

If the governor and the unions win, and I'm so very afraid they will, then I will be out $100/month because I will refuse to comply with their socialist medical plan. I will stop going to the doctor once a year and I will take meds if I think I should, not if the doctor does. That means I will have to pay an extra $100/month for my health insurance plus $350 copay if I need medical attention. I can't lie down and let Hitler rule again. I would drop health insurance totally but if I do then I'll get hit with Obama's screwing us and have to pay double that in taxes come 2014. I. Will. Not. Comply.

Blessings again

The tomatos are growing even though they're in their original little pots. Charcoal grilling on the porch -- yum. I love that smell and the food always tastes great. Not giving a crap and telling people off for calling other people stupid and ignorant. That was on Facebook. If I misunderstood, they still called someone stupid and ignorant. And that's bullshit! Baby smiles and giggles. Lots of them!

Blessings!

Today was not quite as hot as yesterday. YEAH!! Sandy didn't want to go anywhere for more than an hour so I opted out and stayed home. Went through some folders in the desk and got a bunch of stuff ready for shredding. While going through the stuff I found the 1099 so I can show the IRS that I do NOT owe them close to $3000! YEAH again! LOTS of baby smiles and giggles and laughs. All in all it was a good day!

99

That's what it is outside right now at 8:39 p.m.

Tomorrow is supposed to be cooler.

I hope so.

Hot!

And tomorrow's supposed to hit almost 100. Oh well, it IS summer after all. After these few days, even the 80's will be tolerable! LOL!!

Blessed today as usual. I hope I keep rememberint to post my blessings so I don't forget them. Work is still mostly caught up -- we're planning on being totally up to date tomorrow. Baby smiles -- always!! A beautiful breeze in spite of the heat. Have library books to read and Eureka to watch. My life is great. Chontelle called me last night and invited us to her house for her kids' birthdays next month. Missy brought me some goodly amounts of Mixed Chicks to try out.

Blessings

And I forgot to mention blessings yesterday. Forgot my coffee at home so one of the trades supervisors bought me a coffee from the truck. LOTS of baby smiles. Other blessings that I can't remember, of course.

Today's blessings -- President's annual picnic at work. Getting to see Sylvia. Work caught up. Chontelle called. Food on the table. LOTS of baby smiles. :)

Still too hot to knit though.

Fast day

It's 8 p.m. and I just now had a chance to get online. Ran to the grocery store after work then came home and watched two episodes of Eureka. There's no chance of catching up before this new season ends and I'm also watching that. I am on episode 8 on Netflix with a total of 43 to watch. LOL!! But I'm loving it!

Then I putzed around. It's way too hot to knit -- actually it's the humidity that's really bad. :(

Gratitude

Today we buried Aunt Lizzie who passed away a month or so ago. They brought her ashes up from one of the Carolina's where she lived. Then we went to her granddaughter's house. I felt like I was home. It made me grateful for the past I had with these people, even though it was destroyed by things that happened. No one made me feel like I shouldn't be there. Everyone welcomed me like I really did belong. I miss that.

Hot again

And getting hotter. It's supposed to be brutal by the weekend. Hoping the forecast will change. Oh well -- July is almost over and then we just have August and half of September to get through.

Went to lunch and to the stores (Post Road) with Sandy today. So now it feels like a Saturday! LOL!!

Definitely no knitting but I did pick up Spud & Chloe at the Farm which I've been wanting and haven't been able to find. That will be some fun knitting.

Blessings -- Carol did all the shopping for two weeks. Pumpkin's smile -- always a blessing there. Found some negatives from when we went to see Stephen King's house all those years ago -- the pictures went missing forever ago! Find the Spud and Chloe book. Not spending money all over the place. There are many more but my brain doesn't remember them at the moment. *sigh*

Wonderful day

Blessings -- Slept in until around 9 a.m. Got some stuff done in the kitchen and my room. "Found" some extra money -- actually had more on a credit card than I thought I did so I got a full tank of gas. Got a call from Brenda, who was at Beth's asking where I was -- Carol forgot to tell me that I was invited to a party at Beths. So I went up there and spent a few nice hours with friends. Remembered that Haven is back on and am watching that.

Tore out a few things that I know I will not knit and restarted one of them. All in all it was a really nice day. :)

A nice day

More blessings -- St. Mary's Food festival with the family. Seeing family there. Work caught up. Lots of ideas for knitting.

Just need to get cracking on the knitting. LOL!!!

Joyful intentions

So I'd forgotten about the intentions and blessings thing. And God is always blessing me and I just forget to record them. Of course I can't record all of them because I'd spend my whole life typing. LOL!!

I set some intentions today and they're already happening. One is for joy in my family and of course the baby's smile always fills us all with joy. But today's blessings for me are seeing a very few dollars more than what I thought I had. I know I'll have enough money to cover all the bills as they arise and I'll be caught up too. Also a play that my daughter has been wanting to see for years is returning to Off-Broadway and she's sooooo happy!!

Blessings -- a roof over our heads and food in our bellies.
June's work is finally finished but for the report and that will be done tomorrow!
July's stuff will be up to date on Monday.
My family is all together under one roof.
I'll be going to St. Mary's Food Fest for the first time in years tomorrow night.
I have to weigh my whole batch of Simply Knitting magazines because one person in Canada is buying them all. Have to bring them to the post office tomorrow to be weighed for postage. :)

Oh and did I mention that the weather has turned for a few days -- humidity went way down and it's supposed to last a bit.

Cool tonight!

It was so hot today -- probably hotter than yesterday. But all of a sudden, when the sun went down, it cooled right off. It's 73 degrees right now and my fans are off. I have goose bumps! You can't not begin to comprehend how happy I am!!!!!!!!

264 posts

And they're all about nothing. LOL!! But I'm doing it. Maybe someday there'll some actual content, but for now I'm still focused on posting anything.

And it was even hotter today. UGH! It's 90 right now and it's full dark. Hopefully tomorrow will break the heat streak. If not, oh well, I shouldn't complain. We had the best winter in so many years and this IS summer, after all.

Hot!!

Hot and humid. I may take two sleeping pills tonight to make sure I can sleep. UGH!

Watching Eureka -- need to go back to number one since I like this show! Alphas premieres next and might be good and then Warehouse 13 -- which I love. Good tv night for once!

Not a night for knitting at all.

Another nice day

It was dry out and the weather was perfect. I worked a little on Autumn -- only a few rows and I watched a few episodes of The A-Team. I'd forgotten how I used to like that show! It really was a good day today.

Anthony came home from wherever he went so the family is together again. I love that feeling.

Knitted today!

The weather was dry and the fan cooled my room off. I finished the knitted chicken I had started for the baby. YEAH! And the best part is that she loved it. I really don't think she liked the penguin -- black and white is too blah for her. But the chicken -- she played with it for more than an hour!

Went to dinner with a bunch of old classmates tonight. What a great time we had!

Warehouse 13 starts Monday

So I'm finally catching up on the ones I didn't see. One more I can watch now and one left after that. I love this show!

Heading to bed

Pretty hot day today which is very draining to me. Went to Cosmic and am home now and headed to bed.

Ambien brain?

It seems like ever since I started the ambien in March, I have missed bill deadlines like crazy. Every month one or two bills are late and I get a late charge. Before that I was early or on time. I hate this but I need to sleep and that's all that works for me at the moment. I don't know what I'll do when I get immune to it!

ATT problems

I couldn't post last night because the internet was down yet again. ATT is coming tomorrow to check the problem.

Anyway the last days of faire were wonderful and I'm already going to miss it. I think it was a huge success. I know it was at least with the way everyone was treated and how we all interacted with each other. No drama and that is good! I stayed for the party and left after a few hours.

Today we went to Jack's for a cookout and had a great time.

Last day tomorrow

Faire will be over. I will really miss it. It's hot work. It's sticky. It's tiring, but I love it.

Wonderful night

What I posted on Facebook tonight: Just back home from a great night hanging out with my sister. We haven't done anything like this in years. Went down to the Elks for a drink, ran into old friends, walked over to Shelton to try and find the faire group, didn't find them but found friends of my sister's in time to watch the finale. LOL!! Went to strangers homes to use the bathrooms, back to the Elks and saw more old friends, and now home. Great night!
