dark dreary lazy day but i'm a gonna slowly get laundry and housework done! it is getting downright COLD and tomorrow night is suppose to be 39!! BRRRR! might have to turn the furnace on soon!
also found out this week that fluffy probably has a lymphoma but it appears to be slow going at this time....but she's still eating, drinking, happy, etc right now so we'll take it day by day....
Poor little Fluffy. Take care of her and keep her happy.
I will not turn my furnace on, I will not turn my furnace on. I keep repeating this mantra every fall but it never works. Getting colder here too. Furnace dude is coming next week to give me an estimate for a new one. Should have done this two months ago, but I procrastinate.
We walked a 5k this morning for the Susan G Komen Race for the cure and after I short nap...I'm cleaning and boxing up goodies to send to the troops. It's a shame, but the army does not supply our soldiers with sheets or pillows or blankets and, pardon my french, it gets fucking cold in Afghanistan.
This.Army.Mom, I assumed blankets would be something the military would issue automatically. That doesn't make any sense to me.
On being allowed to write recipes: "when you do, you get dozens of e-mails to the editor, accusing the writer of the recipe of all sorts of treason and damning him to eternal flames of hell"
I didn't think Jews believed in eternal damnation in hell. Hell is a Christian adaptation. Hey, and Christians can eat pork. Well...isn't that interesting. Is there a conection? Hey look a roast suckling pig in my back yard! Mmm boy! Gotta go.
Hi This Army Mom,
It got so cold sometimes that we snuggled to keep warm, but no one really sleeps unless you're in the rear. Cat naps throughout the day and whenever possible is the norm. The cols weather gear issued is plenty warm, but comfort items are always welcome.
"Wet naps" are awesome because we bathe and use them instead of T.P., so they multi task.
Trail mix or jerky (no pork) is also great and bubble gum as well. All chocolate melts except for m&m's of course.
That man's dog doesn't like the menu, can't you tell?.
When I worked in Israel we never ate pork and come to think of it I never saw one. We ate great food but mostly greens, hummus and chicken, garden veg and mediterreanean beans. Lots of dates and baklava.

Richard Dreyfus' brother? even the way he sits reminds me of him.

yay I got my hours cut back @ work. I know many people wouldn't be happy about that, but I am ! I get more time with my girls .
Got up this morning, fed my cats and went back under the covers to be warm, check my email, etc. My cat Millhouse (directly right) came in, whined a few times and then, pissed on my bed, right in front of me. Needless to say, it wasn't a good morning. Took him to the vet and lucky for him, he had an elevated temp, so got a shot and a recommendation to switch to CD, which is supposed to be for bladder health. I've been nervous as an m effer about how the cats will handle our moving in two weeks and now, that has tripled. I have two new couches being delivered the week after I move in and if he pisses on them, there will be some fireworks on 3rd street.
I just want to say I don't understand what anyone sees - or ever saw - in The Rolling Stones.
Hee hee - look at the dog's expression.

Miss Tia, I'm sorry about Fluffy. I hope she stays healthy and happy. She is lucky to have you watching out for her.
It really is appalling, the variety of items our soldiers lack. It's just a no-brainer that they should have things to keep them warm, and well-cared for while they risk their lives for our country.
Not eating pork is very Old Testament. Christians have worked past that, except for the Adventists, I believe. The dietary laws were a good way to stay healthy, in their time, but with all the advances in technology, they are outmoded.
I worked an extra 12-hour shift today. I have moments of regretting it. Being a Saturday, I wanted to go to the Farmer's Market and buy dog treats, and I also wanted to go to the Women's Health Fair that is put on by my hospital. Oh well. Maybe another time. The day ended on a very stressful note, too.
At least the paycheck will be good.
I woke up at 2:30 this morning, and couldn't get back to sleep until around 5 a.m. The alarm went off at 5:15, so I am tired. Good Night, everyone!
Frimmy---I have never known what anyone saw in the Rolling Stones, either.
Army Mom: Good for you making the SGK Race. We did that last Sunday
in our area. Makes a person feel
good supporting this cause:)
Christina, I admire the way you take those long shifts in stride.
Miss Tia, I know Fluffy is in good hands with the care you are giving her.
CJ, don't freak out when the furnace guy tells you the cost, but a new one will be pretty efficient, at least that is how we
looked at it when we replaced ours.
I have been cooking since yesterday but I got up at 7am and started up again. Hubs is going to his friend`s for football today. It is cold today and I decided that I was going to make lasagna for them (and me). Also the ricotta and mozz were on major sale at the grocery store. So I just had to.
I am resting right now and then i will get up and assemble the beast. Oh I made brownies and blondies for my friend too.
I have a ton of yard work and nobody wants to help. I hate that.
I have a month to get all this stuff cut down and then the leaves will be falling in between all that.
Wish me luck that I do not pass out today!
I am tickled! I just saw an ad on my opening page when I logged on this morning. From Oct. 16 until March 31, I think, there are going to be 2011 hand-blown glass floats hidden on the beaches around Lincoln City (central Oregon beach area) for a finder's keepers event again. They did this years ago, and I never got a chance to hunt for any. I've always nurtured the idea that maybe there is one out there that no-one found, and I will be able to find it. There is another chance to find one of these!!!! I really am thrilled!
Heidi, I hear you about the yard work. No-one wants to join me in doing anything. I hope to get my husband to do work on the coop today, which would decrease the clutter on the back lawn. It is awful right now, with bits of insulation, boards, wire, roofing, tarpaper, chicken wire and hardware cloth, not to mention all the tools and the fact that nothing is finished or painted yet. Argh!
I went over to take in the morning paper for my mom as she is fishing for a few days with my brother. She left a large shopping bag of tomatoes for me, and a large container of macaroni salad. I'm the only one who eats it besides her, and I usually eat very little. Oh, well. . . it will make her happy that I took it home.
Vicki ~ I pretty much know what a furnace will cost. I've been talking to the dudes for two years about efficiency ratings & prices. Just have to decide which one I'm going to spring for. The highest rated one I'll get the $1500 tax credit for, but it's a two stage and it runs 24/7. So I have to factor in electricty costs also. (mine are due to double on Jan 1) The one I have now is a first generation high efficiency (rated at 90-92%) but the dudes say it's currently running at 80-85%. I hate spending money on crap like this (the stuff you need but don't see)
CJ, we had a window guy here
Friday. $1500 tax credit on
those. Already got a new washer
this year with a State rebate
included.
And we are getting a new roof as
well--which is fine, but I wonder
how spending thousands now will
pay off later when we sell and move away (retire). Guess we are doing our part to stimulate the
economy....
when you get a new furnace, make sure it's compatible to having central air hooked up to it in the future in case you get suddenly rich....i know when i get a new furnace i'm gonna make sure it'll be central air compatible....
My rich days are long gone & never to be seen again. :(
Already have central AC, so when the new furnace gets installed, they'll be hooking up the AC unit.
Tia ~ can I hear it for First Energy/ Penelec. Our rate cap comes off on 1/1 and costs are going through the roof.
Vicki ~ Depending on how many years before you sell - that stuff will pay off. If everything is still relatively new, prospective buyers will look at it as stuff they won't have to budget for. I put new windows & doors on the house about 4 years ago. Got to claim the other energy credit ... but it wasn't as big as this one. Maxed out at $500.
FUCK FIRST ENERGY!!!!!
Army Mom, you are such an inspiration. Big hugs to you.
Christina, I have a bunch of those I found in a junk pile years ago. Some are in my cabinet and some in the garden. They are sooooo pretty.
Pat, I have wanted them for years, and I really, really hope I find one of the ones they hide at the beach. It will be worth it to me to go several times over the late fall and winter to try to do just that.
We always went to the beach when I was young, but it really was centered around clam digging, for the most part. That and the occasional flounder fishing or fishing on the bay (Tillamook)trip. I got really good at razor clam digging, and by the age of 10 or so, was digging my limit every day.
I guess we went a lot for rock hunting, too. There are a lot of agates to be found on gravel bars. I got so tired of that, though, as we were always cold, almost to the point of being hypothermic---I remember that my fingers wouldn't work, after awhile. We would get dirty, and wet, and sand in our clothes, and have to keep our large Golden on a leash, and he pulled like crazy. Never did learn how to walk on a leash, and my parents didn't want to walk him. Deadly boring if you were in the car, but at least you weren't getting your shoulders dislocated, and it was slightly warmer than outside. Would you believe that in all those years of beachcombing, I never, ever saw a float? I'm just glad there might be another opportunity. The Lincoln City chamber of commerce commissions these floats and then hides them. I'm not even really sure what they look like except for the artists' depiction on the site, and it doesn't really look like the usual float. Wish me luck. . .
what does a glass float look like??
that's neat that they are gonna hide a bunch for people to find!!
The ones that I have seen in shops were the old Japanese ones. The Japanese fishermen put greenish glass balls (most of the ones I have seen are about the size of an orange or grapefruit) on their fishing nets to keep them afloat. They are made of thick glass, but hollow. Just greenish-bluish and hollow, so see-through, but with lots of little imperfections. They really are very pretty.
It's a great way to give tourism a little boost, and have even more fun at the beach, going on a treasure hunt.
