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!

Hey Cheryl! Look! Another post!

Because it took me all week to respond to the 3 comments I got on the last one.  O.o

flooding

after 24 hours of rain

We’ve had snakes, plague (ask Skinny PC about the flies), locusts, frogs and 12 inches of rain in 24 hours.  I’m building an ark.  Seriously.

We even have lightening bugs this year.  This will be my unofficial 3rd summer here in TX (remember, I came to visit and never really left) and it’s the first time I’ve seen them.  Skinny PC says it’s been a loooooong time.

Now, if someone could please tell me what I did with my cell phone and the cord to download pictures off of it, I could show you how the boat was up on the dock steps this morning.

However, I can show you this!  The difference in the lake level between last night and today. See how you could see under the dock yesterday?

lake today

today

I figure we have 2 more days of runoff filling the lake.  I’m also guessing that the dock is going to be under water tonight or tomorrow if this keeps up.  The neighbor’s already is.

Even more exciting is that the hill we live on is going to end up “in” the lake.

sand

That’s about an inch of sand that was stopped by a hose.  I think it’s from the driveway.  The sand, not the picture.

~  ~  ~

Anywhoooooo!

Here’s some fill-in’s since Carrie reminded me I was going to post today.

1. Sex umm… I mean… ummm… ice after physical therapy feels great.
2. The solution is L(Ø) = P(B |  Θ =Ø ) .
3. Right now, I could just fall asleep.
4. How about if you shut up right now, I won’t smack you?
5. A Reliable Wife (the book people!) is something I highly recommend!
6. Imagine there’s no Heaven, it’s easy if you try.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep, tomorrow my plans include labels, labels, labels or boating if the lake calms down and Sunday, I want to sleeeeeeeeeep some more!  It’s hot and humid here peeps.  Not much else you really want to do during the day.

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!

So sayeth teh Universe

day 1

Changing what you have, Stacey, comes from changing who you are.

And changing who you are comes from changing what you think.

Which is why I made the latter so easy.

Hey, I think it’s Friday…
The Universe

day 2

Stacey, trust yourself.

The Universe

old and new

Hey, Stacey… It’s OK. Everything is fine. You’ve always been guided. Even now you are watched, and held, and adored. You’ve made great stuff happen, and you will make more great stuff happen. You’ve changed lives. You’ve changed your own. You’ve moved mountains and done the impossible. You’ve been scared and you overcame. You’ve been knocked down and you rose. And you’ve been lost, or so you thought, only to discover it was just the calm before another storm of creativity, love, and fun.

Humbled like the rest of ‘em,
The Universe

~~~

Carpet in: check

Flooring in: happening today

Super special water stuff: hopefully next week?

Stuff back in place: not in this lifetime

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

With lots of SQUISH!

ZOMG! Hescominghometodayafterfourweeksbeinggone!!!!!

::::::: bounce, bounce :::::::

SQUISH!!!!

♥  ♥  ♥

Can I just say that Skinny PC loves this fact so she can kick my arse on Facebook games?

Theivin’ neighbors.

O.o

♥  ♥  ♥

I found a great video on NMO.   While it’s not awesome that someone has been affected by it, it is great that there is stuff like this being done. (yeah,  can’t embed the video, but it’s totally worth going to see)

Reese Witherspoon on NMO

Oh, and while you’re there… if you watch the other video?  The one with Dustin Hoffman showing in the preview? My Dr. House is in it several times. He’s the 17th little person clip (not even half way through) Just after the pictures of the rivers and just before Reese Witherspoon talks.

♥  ♥  ♥

Catch y’all on the flipside!!!!!
