Happy Holiday's!!!!!!

Due to increasing age, cost, forgetfulness; and my decreasing ability to send cards on time, here is my card to cover every Holiday





Happy Friggin Everything!

Hairy Canary

After having a Hairy Canary over getting what Barb wanted for Christmas....... AND I FOUND IT, AND ORDERED IT!!!!!!! Fucking A.... it was a bitch to find........


I'm almost done with it all. I know what Matt wants, and just the gift certificates for the kids, and one more gift for Jamie, and I'm finished!!!!!


But, as usually, no one has asked ME what I want for Christmas..... so I'm gonna make my list here on my blog.

1. A new computer (giggle, like anyone I know can afford that! giggle)

2. A new sofa (giggle again, but why not put the expensive stuff first. giggle)

3. Wood floors for my living room and dinning room (Santa is rich, isn't he??)

4. A tripod for my camera (now we're getting cheaper. That only runs about $20

bucks! giggle) (GOT IT! THANKS TO AUNT HARRIET!!!!)

5. A spike doll. (now, expensive again!)

6. A BJD doll like Steph's!!! (Anyone rob a bank lately?)

7. A gift certificate for a book store (and SUPER BIG ONE! GIGGLE)

8. Bedroom slippers (Please, no pigs or dogs or rabbits!) (GOT IT!! THANKS TO JAMIE!!!)

9. Nice bath Salts (nothing with eucalyptus in it... makes me sneeze)(GOT IT!!! THANKS TO BARB!!!!)

10. New sheets (cotton, queen size, pretty color)

11. MORE FROGS!!!! LOVE FROGS (GOT IT!!! THANKS TO JAMIE!!!)

12. A set of solar power outdoor steak lights (you know, garden lights)... something

in copper or black

13. Egg and flour free cookies, with chocolate chips

14. A salt water fish tank, stocked with LOBSTERS! GIGGLE (Now i'm amusing myself!)

Damm, I did it again!!!!

Grrrrrrrr, I broke my friggin toe again!!!! It sucks!!!


My problem is that I have no depth perception, never did, never will.


I actually almost didn't get my drivers licence because of it. They had this stupid box, with three tiny cars in it, and you had to look, and line up the cars!


Well, with no depth perception...... IT CAN'T BE DONE!!!! But I lied to the teacher and told him I was going for new glasses, and he bought it!!!! So, I got my licence.

Just to show them up, in all the years I've been driving, only 1 accident, and that was because some idiot was drunk and didn't see that my car was stopped and rammed into me.... besides that.... Nada


Of course narrow bridges scare the shit out of me, you know those 2 lane ones that there almost isn't room for 2 cars, but I manages


But walking around furniture..... weeeeeeellllll, sometimes that doesn't work to good. GIGGLE


This time is better, it's only one toe, last time I broke two, put on high heels and went to a party! Duhhhhhhhhhhhh, after the party I went to the emergency room. GIGGLE


This time I didn't even bother, they don't do anything for broken toe's anyway, except tape two of them together..... which I did. And except for the pain, and swelling, it's totally cool.


One week at the most, and I'm healed.


But still it makes me feel really stupid that I hit a giant piece of furniture with my toe.

Did I see it? Yep, but I didn't think I was that close to it. LOL

Bamboo

I had to head out the the bamboo jungle in front of my house this afternoon. Some of the bamboo had gotten too close to my bedroom bathroom window! And every time it was windy it screeched and scratched against the screen in my bathroom window!!!

Let me tell you, it was driving me bonkers!!!!!!!!

But a sharp pair of sheers, and some major elbow grease (those suckers are HUGE!) I managed to quiet the screeching. GIGGLE

I'll have to do some more pruning in the spring, but for now...... blissfully quiet!!!

Cardnial Shrub

This is why I love the Cardinal Shrub. It's fall and it's blooming, but take a look at the blooms!!!! And the shrub is only 1 foot tall!!!! It stays on the smaller side, and each year more and more blooms!

Sometimes the old fashioned one's are the best!!! I doubt if any of the "modern" gardeners even know what the shrub is!!!!

And it's a double header...... hummingbirds and bee's both love it!

Sooooo Cute!!!!

CAT WITH GIGGLES

Shore Leave

I'm NOT going to shore leave this year!


Really, I mean it....... I know I've said it before, and I still reserved a room, "just in case", but this time I got the e-mail saying that the rooms are available, and I'm not responding.

I'm not even going to reserve a room "just in case." I think my time there has run it's course, all my friends have moved away, and don't come anymore.

And after last year, making no money in the dealers room, and even losing money.... I'm not going to do it again.


It's just not my place anymore.


But I'm OK. I have a lot of other things to do, and places to go. Though I will miss that weekend in July, I'm going to spend it sitting on the beach instead.

Weird things

OK, two weird things have been going on all this week.


One, I smell pine...... can't figure where it's coming from, because it seems to be coming off of me!!!!


But I don't and haven't used any pine scent or pine tree's or anything.... so I'm stymied. And it comes and goes, but when it comes it's real strong. Haven't a clue what that means!



Second, is my right palm is itching like nuts!!! I know an itching right palm means money is coming, and a itching left palm means money is going out... and it's my right one..... so money's coming??? From where? When? and a couple of "goodie, goodie's" in there too!


I've learned a long time ago to PAY ATTENTION TO SIGNS! They may seem meaningless, but they usually aren't. So itching palm I get.... but pine scent.... what the fuck is that?????

Oh, I almost forgot.... those of you who know me, know I'm a cheesy poof freak.... well, I found the BEST cheesy poofs...... SMOKEY SWISS CHEESY POOF'S!!!!! No shit!!!! They are F A N T A S T I C!!!!!!!!

Fall Preview

Memorys

Summers almost over,
Fall will soon be here.

Pumpkins on the doorstep,
Fragrant mums appear.

Spooky ghost's and goblins,
Roam our rain swept streets.

Candy and sweet apples,
Bring memory's so deep.

Sunny days and evenings cool,
Dressing up as pirates and ghouls.

Leaves swirling in the air,
Red and orange, beauty fair.

Its the days of blazing colors,
And the nights of fairy dance.

Welcoming the cold cold winter,
With a last colorful blast.
