Apr 11
if you sent me a box or are owed one, it’s in here somewhere. swears.
(not in the water)
so much was broken last week
yes, the water kind of got fixed after two days
and then the hot water heater spewed forth for god knows how many hours
and it has to be special ordered. it should be here monday
skinny PC and/or my mom will hopefully help with finding stuff tomorrow.
i’m here and alive and typing one handed – so don’t really expect a reply just yet.
happy sunday y’all
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!
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:
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!
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
Feb 22
Because if I don’t post, and don’t answer phone calls*, people get worried… so… you get this week’s UM’s
Sunday boredom, I had it and obviously played with my theme.
Although I did get a metric butt load of cleaning done. Well, more like going through all of my clothes and getting rid of a bunch and straightening the closet. I.despise.clutter. And hoarding. If you haven’t worn or used something in a year, it should probably go away.
Or it could be the fact it was 69 yesterday and I was feeling like a bit of spring cleaning… at least until tomorrow when it’s going to be snowy and a high of 38. O.o
Happy Monday y’all?
*this because I decided to take an early morning class at the gym and might not be able to talk to Carrie and I figured I better head it off before she thinks I was snipered.
Supplies. I haz them.
01. This may be the only thing that keeps me from going over the edge today. Srsly. (scroll over the picture to see the title muwahahah)
02. I’ll be making the maple bacon cookies again and trying the pull apart bacon bread look about halfway down the page
03. I may or may not share them with the Skinny PC and Large Meat Product when I go over for dinner tonight.
04. Yeah, it’s that bad right now.
05. But I have bacon and chocolate and weapons.
06. Everyone, say hi to the really nice chicky from the Texas Tollways thing in Austin who was really helpful and nice yesterday. And who is a knitter. I forgot to ask if she had a blog or a Ravelry name. She said she was stopping by. Think I should have warned her we’re all a bunch of wierdoes?
07. I have learned that 160 characters is not nearly enough room to express my anger and outrage and think that the cellphone companies need to give us more space to write texts. Because sometimes? I don’t have to “suck it up, buttercup” and maybe
::: stopping thought right there before I stroke out ::::
08. Zombies will eat your brains. (oh, and the game is not on facebook /pout )
09. I love my little post office man. He’s almost a male version of Cookie. O.o
10. Despite all of the stuff in the picture, I stopped by the gym on the way home to reactivate my membership since I was cleared to go. (well, with a billion restrictions, but still)
Jan 6
01. Isn’t there a meme for Wednesday’s or something?
02. No, I did not go through my inbox and reply to anyone yet. Yes, I’ll get there.
03. I napped yesterday and a bit today and may go do it again.
04. I’ve learned the importance of google-fooing until you reach the end of the internet thanks to a sweet woman who should have told me to take a hike and instead answered questions patiently.
05. I’ve found videos of talks given by the neuro treating my NMO and am amazed at what I didn’t know. I’m trying not to get all boo-boo about it.
06. I now have a list of things to ask when I see him next and realize that I may need to be a little more proactive… like not ignoring the eye pain, even if it did eventually go away.
07. Why does it seem like every time I turn around today, my coffee cup is empty?
08. I’ve been wondering all day what Carrie is telling her family about Aunt Squishy.
09. Facebook is a time-suck
10. I’m starving for a bag of cool ranch Doritos, but will probably have ahi tuna and kashi rice pilaf.
11. Or maybe I’ll say screw it and just have a pizza.
12. I’m thinking this blog layout is way toooooo freakin’ cheery.
Happy Wednesday y’all!
