Because Cookie said I should and I always listen to Cookie.

01.  All hell broke loose.

02.  Now that Texas is home, I’m doing the traveling.

Totally not right.

03.  He loves his job and they love him.

04.  Although it’s really not hard to love him.

Or hard not to love him.

Pick one that appeals to your grammar sensibilities.

05.  Heads split open and demons flew out.

06.  Angie isn’t coming here in October because I won’t be here.

I’ll be catching her in/around D.C.I hope.

07.  I’m apparently medically interesting enough for my neuro to make me a case study.

08.  If I get treated like I have no brain because I have a vajayjay…

I may lose it on these backwoods hicks

Or kidnap the Kitten and give her 5 minutes alone with them.

09.  The Anti-Christ lives.

And it’s not the wicked witch.

I have found worse.

10.  Sometimes, banging your head against a wall repeatedly does make it all feel better.

Or maybe that’s the brain damage setting in.

11.  On my last trip, I again packed knitting. Although I still can’t knit.

Right there is proof of the drain bamage.

12.  The four horsemen of the Apocolypse have been seen cruising the area

13.  I seriously need a night at Big Rock’s Tiki Bar and Grill

with a case or ten of Coronas

and tong wrestling

14.  Cookie is a saint and deserves the greatest of blessings for not ripping me a new one on the phone.

15.  Yeah, I’m still all squishy and shit.

16.  Anyone know how to knit a crawfish?

17. Catch you when I catch my breath again!

Until then, keep up the randomness

Happy weekend y’all!

It’s the 4th on the Lake

Jul 4

and this probably says it all…

Nickelback – This Afternoon from Nickelback on Vimeo.

Driving in the Harbor was seriously hindered yesterday and as I was returning from taking Texas to the airport this morning, I think I saw that the one neighbor had a recreation of Jonestown going on in their front yard.

The one house across the lake put on an awesome show (we’re talking about $20K in fireworks) and I plan on floating the boat out to watch the big shows tonight.

And just because I’m in a mood, the week in review.  Mostly.

Happy 4th (or random Sunday for all those not in the U.S.)  y’all!

Random Monday Blogging

Jun 7

Posted by Stacey in Uncategorized | 10 Comments

01. I spent all day (well 7 hours) on the lake yesterday with Angie, Tiff and her daughter. Yes, a four year old. I did not kill the spawnling. She was well behaved.

02. I actually went in the lake.  They showed me this little cove with an island where we could just push the pontoon onto a sand bar. All I kept hearing in my head as we were pulling up was this:

03. Because of the medication I’m on, I ended up wearing a t-shirt and capri’s.  Not next time!  As long as I get the lotion on right anyway. *ahem*  Don’t ask about the 3 sunburned streaks.  It’s ummmm… interesting.  Almost zebra like.  O.o

04. We’re planning on doing this every weekend.  All I need are some floaties or a lawn chair.  Yes, they were sitting on the sandbars in lawn chairs.

05. Oh, and a cowboy hat.  I neeeeeed one.  And I need to be able to get it wet.

06. I’m going to make this table for either our deck or the seating area by the dock.  Just because it’s fun.

07. Cajun Bayou grand opening was Saturday.  FUN!  They had a Zydeco band and dancing and horseshoes.  While I don’t drink that often, it was that perfect combo of a hot summer evening (we got there at 630), good food, good friends, sitting on the tailgate of a truck, … and the ice cold beer tasted wonderful.

08.  I forgot what eight was for.

09. OMG!  Best thing ever for my little OCD binges.

10. I’m tired. Exhausted actually. I assume I need more coffee… or at least better coffee.  I’m thinking of making this recipe after I stop by Coffee City and pick up some good beans.   I usually get their breakfast blend, but they just added Bulls Eye Blend and Jumpstart Java.  Mmmmmm.

11.  These go to 11

Happy Monday y’all!

Water heater tomorrow?  Maybe.

And maybe some  holes drilled in the walls to help dry them out… since days of that and 7 industrial fans haven’t worked

Happy Monday… I think.  At least I found a present I got last week.  Now to sit back with a cuppa and open it.  oh… and the cast comes off Wednesday

foggy

Today starrted foggy – both the sky and my brain.  :D   But, it’s going to be 80 today and Texas set up my area on the deck this morning so i can sit in the shade and watch him clean up the mess from the fire.

Sorry for the one handed and drugged typing

I’m following the advice of people WAY smarter then myself and the arm is not so owie today.

Happy Sat y’all

Love Thursday – Friendz Edition

Mar 4

Posted by Stacey in Uncategorized | 7 Comments

01.  I love that I have a friend who can rationalize bacon ranch pasta salad as an appropriate after workout meal.

02.  I love that I have a friend who is knowledgeable in stooopid mortgage stuff.

03.  I love that I have a friend who is a knitting monkey and sends me the best.links.ever.  (is this picture better?)

Romi shawl cookie 3

04.  I love that I have a friend who inspires and motivates me to be healthier.

05.  I love that I have a group of friends who are amazing, talented, funny, snarky, loving and crazy. (yeah, I copped out on this one, but I got tired of the linkity)

06. I love that I have a gym not even 5 miles from my house.  And maybe, just maybe I might actually do the walk/bike thing there.  Maybe.  When I can make it up the kill without wanting to DIE!

07.  In the meantime, I love that I get to drive his Mustang because not only is it loud and fun and fast, but I feel like one bad mofo when I drive it. (as opposed to feeling cute and sporty when I drive mine)

08.  I’ve been doing zumba classes and I love them.  No, really.  LOVE!  But I need to be aware of my limits as I triggered a little eyesight loss thingy. (don’t worry, it’s Utoff’s Phenomenon – it happens. It’s like bad electrical wiring getting over heated)  It might pay to have a session or two with a personal trainer or a physical therapist who can help me find a good, balanced routine that will help me get back into shape and feel healthier without pissing off the NMO or the arm.  (all the neuro said was “low weights, high reps”  Dooode, that sooo doesn’t help)

09.  Found on Facebook (despite your political views, this is funny so get the stick outta your… )

The IOC stunned the world this morning when they awarded U.S. President Barack Obama a gold medal for Men’s Skiing. Even though he’s never skied an IOC spokesman said “Barack Obama is going downhill faster than anyone this year.”

♥ ♥ ♥

Ok.  All outta love.

So you get some random crap too.  WOO!  Bonus!

01.  The train started moving again, so he’s back on the 3 gone/1 home schedule.  EXCEPT!  The Northeast had tons of stooopid weather and he’s not coming home this weekend, but next Thursday.  Yet another reason to hate snow.

02.  The doc tried me on Ambien again … this time, the new CR.  It still totally doesn’t work.   I was on a pill that worked except when it didn’t (hahahahahah ahem) Fine, some nights I just could not fall asleep.  The past two nights I’ve been taking an ambien and one of the other pill (instead of two of the other) and I have had the worst sleep I’ve had in a year.  The stuff must trigger nighttime ADD or something.

Swearz I sit up and scream “squirrel!”

O.o

03.  I have options today and I really don’t know what to do.

  • I can sit and knit and watch BBC shows
  • I can try a cardio kickboxing class (except for the whole eyesight loss thingy)
  • I can go workout on the machines and then do a PIYO class – they combine pilates and yoga
  • I can go to the aqua class, but I’d have to leave in about an hour a half hour and I don’t think I’ve had enough coffee
  • I can work on some yard stuff that HAS to be done and I know I shouldn’t do it,  but a.) I can’t find a yard guy that isn’t addicted to something and can show up and b.) Texas just doesn’t have the time when he’s home.  This stuff needs to be chopped before it turns green and starts growing again.

04.  While I shared some facebook love above, I’m about to share some hate too.  Can y’all stop with the stupid hoax postings?  I reported someone this week because they clicked on some link and I kept getting tagged in weird photos that aren’t even me.

Yes, I’m one of those people that play the stoopid games, but what I’m amending my wanton ways and trying to stop posting the game stuff by 7 so my friends don’t have to see all that crap.  I wish they would find an easy way that I could just post to the people who are just in my games list.

And people’s ignorance is all the more obvious over there.  I seriously have to bite my fingers some days to keep from calling them idiots and showing them where to find the facts from reliable sources. Or the “if you’re really my friend you’ll repost this”.  WTF is that?

♥ ♥ ♥

And now that I’ve crapped all over Love Thursday, I leave you with some love again.  Skinny Porkchop and her new baby Murdoc.  I’ll have to get better pics later.  This was his first day home.  He’s now 6 weeks old, they’re hand feeding him (the mother’s milk dried up  – she had 11 puppies – and the vet recommended sending the puppies to their homes so they could be fed properly).  He’s all head and legs and is a Great Dane.

new baby

Happy Thursday y’all!

Three for 3

Feb 24

Posted by Stacey in Uncategorized | 7 Comments

It’s been one of those days.  So crazy that I spent most of the day listening to air1 because I found it soothing. (streaming on the internet no less because despite living deep in the butt crack of the bible belt, they do not have an air1 station here … or even remotely close)

O.o

Me.

The Apocalypse is definitely on it’s way.

∞  ∞  ∞

The crazy weather is just, well, crazy.  With a capital “C”.  Snow yesterday, ice this morning and now it’s almost 60.  The cold front smacked around the arm a little bit and I can’t wait to see the doctor next week. (yeah, now that most of the cold weather will be gone and it won’t be so damn annoying)

Which reminds me of a little funny.  The one class I take is an aqua class and we use those little Styrofoam dumbbell thingies to work out with.  Because of the arm, for some things I don’t use one  (or use the smallest one).  We’re doing a doggy style move (shut up you pervs) where you make like you’re doggy paddling with the dumbbell thingies under water and I’m using a tiny and a big dumbbell – when this little  old lady comes up to me and says:

looks like your doggy has a little floppy paw

It amused me.  I know, simple things for simple minds.

Doooooooode.

∞  ∞  ∞

And then I have a man who (despite sometimes being systemically poisoned by testosterone) sends me this kind of stuff:

Double doooooooooooode.

∞  ∞  ∞

Happy Wednesday y’all!  I’m off to Skinny Porkchop’s for sketti and meeeballs.
