Site/Blog News

We’ve been planning on changing hosts/servers for a few months. But we had things we needed to take care before we did all that. Well, we ended up doing it a few days ago due to circumstances beyond our control. So if the site or blog was down, it was due to that. Everything is up and hopefully there won’t be anymore problems. If you see anything, let me know ASAP.

Now, due to that (besides the virus of last week) I wasn’t getting emails for a few days as our new host set us up. I recieved them all yesterday and I don’t believe any were lost (fingers crossed), so I’ll try to get to them soon. This weekend is a working weekend with back to back shifts so it is going to be hard to get to them until next week.

My GM Sandee invited me over to work on something at her place Thursday. I thought it would be a cool thing to do. Well, we want grocery shopping when I got off of work Wednesday night and did not get home to after 1……..we died AFTER 2am. So I had a hard time rolling out of bed until almost 10………icks…..that is way past my normal time. So by the time I got things taken care and showered it was too late. =(

I did get my nails done………..they were horrible…….I beat the crap out of them….lol It ended up being a good thing that all I did was get my nails done. By the time I got home Harold had a big project for me concerning some of our moves that needed to be fixed. I worked on that until late last night and I’m proud to say that I got what he gave me done. =)

Right now, I’m getting ready for work………..not feeling like dealing with the Friday night crowd….icks. I’ve worked alot of mornings on that last few Fridays and had my routine down. =) Oh well, that is life. =)

STRESS! STRESS! STRESS!

I’m ok…. Really I am…. I AM DANGIT NOW LET IT GO!!!! Sheesh….

Been pretty nutty here this past week, spent a few hours cleaning the house Sunday due to all the dust from the construction site which I notice today didn’t matter and was just time wasted so we get to do that again.

And now we have to plan on finding a new place to live of course, but I have too much on my plate this week so I will worry about that next week.

I got a nice crunch bench this week, got it online, I tried to get the same thing at a local sports store, but when I asked guy #1 who was working there where I go to get the box, he looked around, asked guy #2 who said they was out as he walked away and then guy #1 looked at me and said “we are out” and quickly walked away so I was standing there dumbfounded….

I go to the front desk and asked for a manager and sure enough…. Turned out to be guy #1… so I laughed and told him what I thought of his customer service and that I would not be back which turned out for the best since I found the exact same thing for $30 cheaper including shipping online

Ho hum…. Not much else to add.

Weekend Over

Well, the weekend is over. =( I don’t get many weekends off. Not that it really matters since I’d rather have my days off together during the week during the off season of football. We don’t go out much during the weekend cuz we don’t like dealing with all the people and mostly the kids that are out of school.

I just don’t feel like getting back into the grind at work today……….starting with putting make up on. That can be annoying sometimes……..lol

I really should get something done before heading to work and I may try, but I doubt that I will. I’m just rambling right now, so I’ll close this.

Have a good day.

Sunday Off

We finally got some rain last night………..more like around 6am this morning… It was a hell of thunderstorm……the windows where rattling with the thunder. But that is okay, didn’t take long to go back to sleep after making my normal run to the bathroom and unplugging the pcs to protect them………surge protectors are no guarntee…….learned that the hard way.

We really need the rain, been 40days since that last one. We had another brush fire at the park 2 miles away. It started on the other side of a 4 lane road and jumped the road and ignited the park. Jackie lives near where it started and it almost got a gas station and the nail saloon where I go. This time instead of 100 acres it got 250 acres. Of the 3.5 mile ride to work, I follow about 2.5 miles of sidewalk the runs along side the park. Most of that area is now gone ……..it is going to be a weird ride.

Fire jumps road, burns 250 acres at Wickham Park

Since it did rain and it will cut down the dirt/dust that blows, we attacked the floors. We don’t know how long it will last but it is nice to have clean floors.

I did help Harold with some of work that he has been working on. That was long, still have a lot to do, but made a good dent.

Saturday Off

I hope everyone is having a good weekend. It is my weekend off and I have been a bum. =) I believe I’ve earned it. There is nothing like leaving work on Friday and being made to feel that what you got done wasn’t enough. =(

I spent the day between laying out and jumping into the pool. Although I did do laundry, paid some bills and filed/paid our taxes. So it wasn’t a complete day without work. I did rebuild some of my music library so I know have something to listen to. Tomorrow is suppose to rain (thankfully………we need it bad) so I’m going to vacum & mop up the house. I hope to get motivated enough to help Harold on some things that we need to get done.

If you have never seen BullShit! with Penn & Teller, you need to. It is great! Talk about knocking down illogical arguements that are used to justify intolerance, hate and urban myths!

For great political commentary and debate, you have got to watch Bill Maher! This past week featured “actor Ben Affleck, White House correspondent Bill Sammon, and Sen. Joe Biden. ” Both Torn & I were impressed with Sen. Joe Biden’s straight responses and his knowlegde of issues. He is going to run for President. He sounds like someone we would like to check out.
