Be afraid

Mar 26

Posted by Stacey in Uncategorized | 12 Comments

For many reasons:

01. heading to Arkansas by way of back woods, middle of nowhere TX. If I start hearing dueling banjos? I’m so outta there.

02. An FO!

Details here, since I’m getting ready to bug outta the Harbor.

03. Upcoming arm surgery on the 1st. Yes, the floppy again. There are things going on in the elbow that should not be going on. Yes, 3 surgeries all rolled into one day. You remember my wonderful attitudes from the last two right? (at least Texas will be there and home for at least one week of recovery)

04. Texas and me together for the weekend in a hotel in AR. muwahahahahahahahahahahahah

05. Skinny Porkchop left unsupervised in the Harbor for the weekend. O.o

So, be afraid my little darlings, be very afraid.

Catch ya on the flip side!

Spring! Haz sprung! Totally random schtuff

Posted by Stacey in Uncategorized | 8 Comments

subtitle: the Housewives of Lakeway Harbor worked really hard yesterday in the yard and making evil plots sooooo, we did go to Kilo’s and get some refreshments and Big Meat Product made us steaks and mushrooms (which we didn’t eat so we wouldn’t ruin the happy feeling) and someone stole a daffodil from the dead neighbor’s house (don’t worry, she’d only be pissed it took us this long to think of it)

I’m tired from working yesterday and allergies are kicking my butt and I have a full day ahead of me because Texas is coming home tomorrow. Yeah! (but really only for 4 days – Booooo!)

Oh and I have no coffee in the house. Well, one packet of Via… but I would be afraid. Be very afraid.

Have you tried Via yet? Yum. Like french press without the mess. Speaking of the magic mermaid. I found my account info and logged on an registered my other gift card and reloaded and combined and all that stuff and was reminded of the rewards. Like 2 hours of free wifi and free coffee on my birthday and that I’m about 10 stars away from the gold level. (which I totally would be, but I’m a pothole and forgot about it)

Have I mentioned that I’m knitting? Really. With yak yarn that Texas bought. It’s Diane’s fault.

Oh and with some lovely brown alpaca. I forgot to take the yak with me down to the fish shack when I was burning or I would have gotten further.

No, I could not run up the hill and get it… because that hill is steep with a capital eeep. And I had been up and down it for tools and water and stuff enough times that when I had a chance to sit, there was no way in h-e-double hockey sticks I was getting my fat butt back up that hill.

I’ve realized spring has truely arrived in East Texas as I just saw squirrel sex this morning.

Trauma. I haz it.

Skinny P.C. and I were discussing deck decorations for this summer. (spring! warm!) I’m thinking a whole traditional tiki theme. Shells and netting and lights. And really tacky stuff. (cough*flying flamingo*cough) I just have to go raid Big Lots next month.

Oh and a new umbrella… and lots of spf 30000000 since the pills they have me on cause skin cancer. (SOB! No more baby oil and lemon juice! No more deep dark fishing tan! ) I wonder if they sell it by the vat at Sam’s? Or do you think I can pull off the fake tan ala George Hamilton?

I’m off to shower and get dressed and clean my little heart out to get rid of this extra “ZOMGhe’scominghometomorrow!!!” energy

Happy Wednesday y’all!

Housewives of Lakeway Harbor

Mar 7

Posted by Stacey in Uncategorized | 5 Comments

I hereby call to order the inaugural meeting of the Lakeway Harbor Housewife Preservation Society.

First order of business, I nominate Skinny P.C. as the President and Grand Pooobah.

All in favor?

Aye!

They ayes have it.

We’re forming this society to outline our rights and privileges as housewives of Lakeway Harbor. I’ve added preservation to our title because believe you me, if we have to get off our asses and do lawn work, we’re going to Kilo’s and getting preserved later.

O.o

The second order of business is that when we do work this hard, we demand that Big Meat Product and/or Texas provide us a meal of skinny pork chops, pasta salad and mushrooms. And booze. Oh yeah, and sex. (and I’m sure the original Skinny P.C would like potatoes with that – the meal, not the sex – although she could totally be that twisted)

As evidence of our hard work today, I submit the following:

and this:

(Of course we won’t mention that we were praying for the rain to start so that we could skidaddle back into our respective houses and claim weather delay.)

*ahem*

Thirdly, we demand that no further comments be made about our important facebooking as:

we don’t make comments about what you do all day (although all y’all work really hard and we totally appreciate it)
we cook and clean and do laundry (and obviously yard work) which takes away from our socializing, drinking, napping and computer time
we keep an eye on the neighborhood yahoos as to provide a safe environment for you to come home to (besides being hours of endless amusement)
we are constantly developing evil plots and plans for total Harbor domination
oh, and we also act as fire brigade when idiots aren’t paying attention to their burning and it gets out of control

Fourthly… ummm well, right now we don’t have a fourthly.

But I’m sure we’ll come up with something in the future.

Thank you all for attending, this meeting is now adjourned.

♥ ♥ ♥

Happy Sunday y’all!

Random Tuesday Schtuff

Feb 23

Subtitle: I musta been smokin’ crack

01. It’s snowing big, fat, wet flakes. Yeah? I think. If I wasn’t in the area that’s supposed to get 4-6 inches instead of north about 30 miles where they’re only getting 1-2.

02. Wow. I’m getting old.

03. Or just wildly out of shape since the whole head splody saga started about a year and a half ago. I didn’t feel like taking the swim class this morning, so I was just going to do some low weight/high rep stuff like the doctor said.

04. Well… you know I have the attention span of a raccoon surrounded by shiny things. There was something interesting going on and I popped in on the zumba class.

05. ZOMG! How the eff did I ever go out and party like a rock star when I lived it CA?

06. Maybe I should try it without having done some of the weight machines first?

06. When the sweet tiny baby hey-zeus heard my prayers and made the torture end class was finally over, this was on my windshield.

07. I think I heard Carrie’s “squee” all the way from Arizona.

08. Yeah, I know. This is two posts in two days. Don’t get used to it.

09. Zombies are distracting me. I want the golden sunflower and I only have to complete the survival mode to get it.

10. Plus, I’m knitting something. Stop the snickers and jaw dropping.

Happy Tuesday y’all

Another beautiful day at the lake. It’s about 64 and sunny and wonderful.

Bet you can’t guess what I’m doing.

Cookie made me that out of Dave yarn that I used to help cushion the starter wheel bobbins. Ask her about the other details. She is a wonderful woman indeed. It’s heavy and warm and wonderful.

Speaking of the wonderful Cookie and her mad knitting skillz, I wore the infamous honey bee for my divorce. It matched my boots.

And yes, those are buds on the trees. Ahhhhh spring.

Happy Saturday y’all!

Random 10 on Tuesday – again.

Feb 16

Posted by Stacey in Uncategorized | 5 Comments

This week, they went renegade again and have the 10 Favorite Places To Knit … I think you have to leave the house to get 10, so I’m going to go even more renegade.

01. I like to knit on my couch. With a good tv series on dvd or instant netflix.

02. Have I mentioned how much I love my new bluray with the wireless thing that lets me watch instantly on my tv? No? Well, I do.

03. Right, knitting. Um. In the car, because when Texas is home he does all the driving.

04. On the deck. I love the warm and sun and wildlife. (although I’m going to have to be careful this year)

05. On the dock whilst waiting for a catfish to bite.

06. Lookies! My own minion!!!

My very own minion!! Yeah!!!

07. But I can’t get him to knit for me… he’s lazy and keeps dropping stitches.

08. OOH! Another place, at my desk while Smokin’ Joe the Snail is hopped up on chocolate and taking care of my zen garden.

09. The gym kicked my arse last night. Really, for real. Aqua moves. Perfect for seniors my ass. There were no seniors in the class and I’m sore today.

10. The Universe was very wise today:

You might call it spiritual logistics, Stacey, but sometimes you have to move away, to get closer.

Or you might just call it weird.

Either way, it helps to remember it from time to time.

Tallyho,

The Universe

Happy Tuesday y’all!

10 On Tuesday – Randomness Abounds

Jan 26

Posted by Stacey in Uncategorized | 7 Comments

01. Mindless knitting is always a good thing. Ulmus is just easy enough to watch tv, but still charty enough to be interesting. Yes, charty is a word.

02. Hey look! Dave yarn. Slowly being hand wound.

03. Insurance – have answers, but uncertainty on costs is still looming over my head.

04. I get to visit Dr. House and the lovely and talented Mz. MoMo (I had to stop calling her a sex kitten – she’s so kind and sweet and knowledgeable) this week and am looking forward to getting away for a day.

Because….

05. I haz sad. This on the road crap? You never get used to it. While I enjoy being able to put the house back in order, I miss the boy noises.

06. And smells. While the smelly cologne shirt can be a comfort? Sometimes the slight whiff of it as you’re making the bed or walking through a room can catch you off guard.

07. We moved furniture when he was home (by we, I mean me telling him where to put it) and I think I mostly like the arrangement. Except for the heater vent under my desk chair. O.o

08. Love! the dining room now being by the fire place. Now for a new table.

09.The boy bought a waffle maker while he was home too. I think I love fresh waffles more than anything right now. YUM! Right now, I’m crushing on (home flavored) vanilla yogurt and blueberries as a topping. ZOMG!

10. An FO? I haz one!
