D D Hot, Hot, HOT. Get your red hot

Coffee.
Two mornings in a row hot coffee and while I have.... had to nuke it ...the taste stays the same. No bitterness. :0)
Friday I forgot to post and ran off with Tracie around 8p.m. to do some Christmas shopping at Kohls.  Guess who drove my car ;0) It's Tracie behind that wheel orrrrrrrrrrrrr me taking a chance on having an accident with my shitty eyesight.  I shit you not! I almost fell over when I asked the clerk the time.
Ten forty five.....Where the Hell did the time gooooooooo??????  
The we hit the 99's to eat. Made a pig out of myself. They put TWENTY nice sized fried shrimp on their $9.99 plate and of course....I couldn't let the garbage get them. Ohh nooooooooooooo. My waist knows where all twenty shrimp went. ;0(   Who did we have the pleasure of sitting near, BUT two mothers and their children. One child ( a girl ) was around 5 and the little boy with his pacifier I'd guesstimate to be between one and two. Was he ever WHINEY! No, I can't blame him as by that time it was eleven thirty and all good little kids should be in bed at that hour. Knowing a mother such as those two....I can tell you how that goes. Put the kids to bed at midnight orrrrrrrrrrrrr later ( in their street clothes ) and they sleep til noon as DO THEY. I shit you not! Then they are dressed for the day and later they will wash them up and change their clothes and repeat the process over again. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh My kids were in bed by 7:30 longggggggggg before and  after they were that age. 
People....please let me enjoy my LATE SUPPER and not feel sorry for your tired babies.

There are alot of good sales at Kohls. In the next few days I can use my Kohls cash and also get 30% off what I buy. Two grands, James 15? and Erinn age 12 always can use a new winter coat.  I use to shop after Christmas and get them coats, but for the past two years, I've been LAX.  Speaking of which.....I should begin to think about showering and dressing. It's after nine and today and tomorrow is another big craft fair that Tracie wants to go to and while I have no need for anything....if I see that deep red wall sconse I saw last year...IT's MINE. I shit you not!  It was unlike anything I have seen. Rippled edges like a giant clam shell. No uniformity to it. The waves of glass just WERE.  No design. One solid color of dark red.  No metal. It was probably one of a kind. Made by someone that does all that heavy glass art work . Where art thou ?????????  It was in the $50 to $60 price range...if I remember right.
I'm on a MISSION ;0) 

Should park my ass in front of a box of Christmas cards and begin signing and addressing them. I shit you not!
They are beginning to come in and I'm not going to open any UNTIL I make mine out . One at a time.

Skipped ahead of myself a few times.  Tracie came earlier ( around 12;30 yesterday ) and I told her to go to NH without me.  She did....and six hours later she came back from shopping in different stores up there. Her feet and legs are younger than mine. ;0)
  Her car is full to the hilt with bags and bags and bags of cans.  Even the passenger seat is piled up above the window. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  Why she doesn't stop at the grocery store and feed them to a redemption machine for her 5 cents each....I know not why. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Legal Aide has intervened on her behalf about her eviction and I think she said she has had to agree to more inspections during the year with two days notice in order to remain in her apartment.
Her more extensive breast biopsy surgery is the 15th and her neice will come down from ME and take her to and from that day surgery.  After that....is the w a i t to find out if she has to have further surgery. sighhhhhhhhhhh.
   Another thing that has slipped my mind is that shihtzu. Son Randy called me after he left here last night and told me he stopped at his friends and his friend showed him all the paperwork on the dog and he has better than a couple of thousnad dollars in the dog and wants $300 for him.  While that would be no problem, I was under the impression he just wanted to find a GOOD HOME for his dog. I'm going to SIT ON IT. Something tells me that there will be another dog that needs a GOOD HOME.
Speaking of dawgs....Dear old Cash loves to scrape his teeth on my sliding GLASS door when he  wants IN or OUT. Last night I dreamt that I noticed white flakes like stuff ( like fake snow ) at the foot of my washer and dryer. My eyes traveled up and OMG what a job that dawg had done on the enamel on those two appliances. I freaked out!    I shit you not!   It's only a dream Pat...It's only a dream.  sighhhhhhhhhh
Maybe this dog should have been named RANDY;0)
 
Jill works today catering beginning at two .  Young Gil will keep an eye on hubby...iffffffffffffffffff I decide to go today as there is always TOMORROW the LAST DAY. By the looks of things
IT JUST MIGHT BE TOMORROW. ten minutes past eleven a.m. still finds me in my night clothes.

A blogger friend Hit The Nail  on the head when she said she was feeling overwhelmed. Me too, me too.
Called Tracie and took a Rain Check out on that Christmas Fair until tomorrow Sunday. Napped from 3:30 when everyone left except for Randy til 5;30.  DIL Kim had come by to visit with Jill and I for awhile.
Son Terry called and said that his wife nancy was feeling under the weather and maybe next weekend they would come visit.

It's 8:15 and I asked Gil to go get hubby and I a Steak Bomb to share.  I set hubby up with his half and it wasn't much longer before I heard him say, " he didn't go to Fucking DiVitos for this sub. "
Which set me off and sent sparks shooting out of my head. I told him I called into Divitos and placed the order and when i heard more muttering out of him I took the receipt that Gil was smart enough to get as I  never ask for one and tossed it on the bed near him. Made it back to the table ....just in time to save Cash from eating my half of the steakbomb. Wonder what kinds of dreams I will have tonight about that dawg. ;0)
While I was waiting for Gil to return....I made my FIRST Christmas card out. There are only so many shopping days to Christmas left and I sent money to a grand daughter in Arkansas for her two kids.

   I better SHAKE whatever has a hold of me because I have more to be appreciative of than alot of people,
It's not the season that has me down......it just came too fast for me this year. ;0)

Did I hear an apology from our bedroom????? Not yet. sighhhhh

Jill just called Gil to come pick her up. Wonder what that's all about???  Fatigue get to her? She's only been working 3 1/2 hours of an eight hour job.

HOLY SMOKE!  When they came through the door I asked what was wrong that she was home so early. EGG ON MY FACE...it was ten thirty when they came in and ten when she called.
Father Time is being CRUEL to me. My days are FLASHING BY with LIGHTNING SPEED. I shit you not!
Five Christmas cards with notes ( short ones ) made out is all I can credit myself with doing yesterday. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
   Jill just stepped out the door to feed Charlie and the wreath was stuck to the storm door. Must be dangggggg cold out.
   Within minutes guess what the cat drug through the door...YEP, Butchie. 

Minutes before eleven last night as I had just snuggled down in bed I heard Gil saying, OH MY GAWD !OH MY GAWD.! Jumped out of bed to see that Cash had vomitted huge piles in a couple of places on the floor and Jill was right behind him cleaning it up.  I had to be a BALL BUSTER and say. " get another dog." :0)
Hey...I said it with a smile on my face and a smile in my tone of voice. :0)

Sunday
Kept a pillow between my legs last night and had even worst sciatic pain all night long and I still am having lingering aches. It was like having a very severe toothache in my left leg :0(  Will I make time for myself and go see my old boss and get adjusted tomorrow.???????  Shame on me...if I don't . Just tell me to shut up and suffer.
Speaking of which....if my blog of the day ...dragssssssssssssss you down. Please just skip it for your own mental health well being. Trust me....I UNDERSTAND!

I've been trying to figure out what flavors and HOW to order my coffee through Kuerig.  So far I haven't hit upon the right time of day to be of CLEAR AND SOUND MIND. I shit you not!
Tried to pick up a few at Kohls and Tracie kept slapping my hand as I picked this flavor or that up.
She bought me some for Christmas and the screen insert so I can put any coffee I want to in it.
SPOILED her surprise to me. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :0( hmmmmmmmmmmmm She must have been worn out herself yesterday, because she never came here . Which was.....FINE WITH ME.
I have to sneak and buy some coffee thingies today orrrrrrrrrrrrr take my other one out of the shed and give it a place on the counter.

Hubby has some Christmas tunes playing on a country music channel.  Sounds like Rascal Flats singing I'll be home for Christmas.
Speaking of the TV...I lost the WAR/STAND-OFF last night. Once again he had the damned remote up on the headboard instead of between us in bed. My pillow lies way down from the headboard as Ginger has the honor of sleeping on the pillow above my head.  Hubby is closer to the remote. He claimed he couldn't reach it and I sure the hell couldn't without getting up again, soooooooooooo I said out loud. EFF IT. Well not really those words. ;0) and somehow I finally was able to sleep through the LOUD VOLUME hubby uses . He was sound asleep before me and still I would not budge from bed. What a dumb ass I can be. I shit you not!  THEN close to one a.m I woke to pee.  Shut the TV OFF and no sooner got back in bed and heard the police scanner going ( which you couldn't hear with the tv volume ). sighhhhhhhhh Screw that too. I must have muttered " you have to be shitting me ", if not...I thought it.
It wasn't as aggrevating to try to sleep through. Hubby must have shut it off during one of his later "piss calls."
This morning we both made S I L L Y over it all when he asked me where the remote was and I told him it was in the bathroom and to go get it if he wanted it. ;0)
Oh what F U N it is..........

Last day for the Christmas Fair in Rockingham Park,NH. 

Made out four more cadrs that needed a short note included. I can be brief...ya know ;0)
Showered, dressed and made the mistake of seeing what hubby wanted before I brushed my teeth and dried my hair. Now he has meandered his way into the bathroom to brush his teeth and heard the word "shower" somewhere in there. sighhhhhh He takes forever. I know...gripe, gripe, bitch,bitch. I'll miss him when he is gone...and I will, BUT not when I am trying to finish a task that I am doing.
This finds me back at the keyboard.....getting nowhere fast. 
Thought I'd get a jump on my shower. After no shower yesterday I NEEDED ONE. I shit you not. Wet hair feels YUCKY.
He just opened the bathroom door to ask where my wet towel was. Which would be...out in front of the washer for the next load of laundry. He needs it as he does rather make a wet mess and the throw rug isn't enough. Splish.Splash, he's taking a bath/shower. ;0) Shhhhhhhhhhhhh he isn't suppose to do this on his own.
He wants me OUT of there and I really rather NOT BE IN THERE and put up with his B/S. Case Closed!
I retrieved it. Bout killed me to get off my ass. ;0)

This one is for you Mary . Anyone that can use a "pick me up" feel free to use them. I DID ;0)

11:05 He shut the water off. :0)  There is still hope for THIS DAY.
I haven't asked Jill what her plans are, BUT I am planning on taking off as soon as I see the whites of Tracie's eyes or even before to go to Walmart for my med refills and of course....we know how that goes. I'LL DO OTHER SHOPPING!

Did I tell you that I shopped in the mens department for Logan the other day at Kohls. Mens size S 14 1/2 dress shirt, a tie and 29x30 dress pants. He may need a 30x30 and the belt has to go. It's a 30 and he will need a 32. Marc Anthony suede loafers and the same brand , different style for Gil. Looked a NetBook/NoteBook? online for Trevor yesterday versus a laptop. I think it will be a better beginner thing for him and have less chance of breaking.
   Butch just came back. Told me my trailer door was open. Hope the gifts I put in there are still there and after this I MUST take my key out there and LOCK IT UP.  Wet hair and all..here I go.......................
ALL IS WELL :0)

My daughter Cheryl called me yesterday morning.  She was going through her pictures and going down Memory Lane.   Ma,  I found the pictures of me taken with Greg Allman right after her broke up with Cher. He has his arm around me in them.  Oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I have heard how they partied .His band members, her ex.  My FREE BIRD caused me more than a few gray hairs even if she was married at the time.
He doesn't look near the same now she said.   Me: ...Yeah, that's what drugs and partying do to you!
She lived in SpringHill,TN back then on his parent's cattle ranch in a new trailer they gave them for a wedding gift.  The Main House is where we stayed a few times as his parents didn't spend much time in TN . His dad was a well known buidler in this area, albeit one that you had to chase your money for.
His mom died from cancer within a few years of them marrying. Dotty was a rich  bossy pisser, but she loved her grandson Jon III ( Buddy ) who was around three when she died. That kid lacked for nothing.
Then her husband up and married their house cleaner within months of her dying. He has passed away now too. 
Dottie called me late one evening before she died...IRATE...that my daughter and grandson came to see me ON HER DIME. She paid for their flight for Thanksgiving.....lived the next town over from me aand she was dying and THEY WERE SUPOSE TO ONLY BE WITH HER she screamed at me. If I remember correctly it was after eleven p,.m. , she was DRUNK and she woke me up.
I did pay my respects when she passed away, but there was no love lost between us. Not just for that issue.
Another day clear in my mind is the baby shower for Jon that she threw in her gorgeous home. Spiral staircase, balcony room , rooms so high she had a full grown tree in the parlor, back to back fireplaces ( den to parlor. Here's moi saving the gorgeous bows as I hate to see waste and could use them. She snatched them from my hands and threw them in the burning fireplace. Jon was born January 5th. 

Jill is keeping check on Gil. He told her he was using her car to go buy cement and fix some stairs for Julie. Jill noted the time he left, called Juile and told her .what he said and he was telling the truth. Then Julie called/texted her back to say that Gil had just called/texted her  that he would be there at 1:30. UT OH...he left here at eleven.  They are not confronting him...are making notes.. and when the EX SIL FROM HELL is heading back to MS after Christmas ...he will be on board that plane back to MS and into a rehab that his judge friend has set up. NO RUNNING AWAY before time as might happen if he knows that they are on to him. KIDS!!!!!!!!!!! Jill tells me that Gil ( even tho he served )   never wanted young Gil to go in the service and quite possibly die in this war, but he has changed his thinking to...dying from drugs is......................... I have to say.....an  HONORABLE  death although you are no more dead than you are from overdosing on drugs might be easier on  loved ones. Hope I don't offend anyone by throwing that out there.



WTF! When I called Tracie at 11:45 to say " wakey,wakey" she told me she would be here in forty five minutes. It's been an hour and twenty minutes.
Tick, tick, tick. The Fair closes at 5 ...maybe even earlier.

Tracie came  just before two. The Fair closed at 4.  In some ways...it's just as well because I went overboard on things for MYSELF.  Will tell you about it next post.


That's All Folks!
