Love Thursday – Friendz Edition

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?)

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!

Be careful what you wish for

Or something like that.

Who knew when I posted on facebook today that I was going to set shit on fire just how interesting my morning was going to be.

≈  ≈  ≈

The setup:  Next door, for all intents and purposes is empty.  I’ve seen the guy who owns it twice in the past year and maybe the longest he’s been here is 45 minutes.

The nice retired couple on the other side of him are selling their house.  So, they hired the methhead one yard guy to clean up their back yard.

≈  ≈  ≈

Here is him working yesterday:

idiot yesterday

In their yard.  Clearing it.  That’s the neighbor’s “natural” yard between me and him.

≈  ≈  ≈

Here is my yard, the empty house and their yard  today:

idiot today

Yeah. See the burn line?  I defended that.  Two old people (like in their 70’s and one with Alzheimers )and  methhead yard guy were trying to keep it from spreading to another neighbor’s dock and their retaining walls and the houses.  I even called upon the Skinny Porkchop to help make sure our house wasn’t going to go up in flames.

≈  ≈  ≈

I’m going to shower and nap now.

Happy Sunday y’all!

Three for 3

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.

WTF!?! Friday

Happy Friday y’all?

I can’t brain today, I have the dumb

And the sick and the sad and the squish.

As for my plans to clean today?  Eh.  Unless I can convince the dogs to vacuum and dust, I actually don’t think I’ll do it.  I took a shower and that seems to have used up almost all of my energy at the moment.

Knitting and that FO that I didn’t FO yesterday perhaps?

happy puppy

I have rants about pretend Christians and one about people who attack someone’s beliefs just because they don’t’ share them.  Oh and people who want something and enjoy the good side of it, but don’t want to hear about the parts that make them uncomfortable. And why don’t I ever get a word of healing from the 700 club?*

Maybe  keeping these in are why my eye is throbbing.

no words

Yeah, this really is a purse for sale.  Iz scared.

Happy Tuesday y’all!

*last one was a joke. I just happened to be flipping through when they were doing the healing prayer thingy.

You know it’s bad when…

… even the cat is looking at you like you lost your flippin’ marbles.

O.o

I lurve Ozzy.

I may have broken my mop and resorted to washing the kitchen floor by hand.

And there may be some rearranging of furniture happening.

And a second sock started. (because it’s been so long that I forgot I needed a piece of starter yarn to start CCSR’s and so I sat for an hour in a doctor’s office waiting with no knitting and no cell reception.  I almost… almost cut a latex glove into a strip to start it with.)

And a fire going in the fireplace… because heaters are for wussies.

Happy Wednesday y’all.

It is Wednesday, right?

Apparently I’m Channeling Cookie and Other Random Shit.

Or so Carrie tells me so.

≈  ≈  ≈

Hey, look!  An Effin-O.

random crap 032

  • Pattern: Simple Yet Effective Shawl
  • Start: 15 Sept 09 just after WI vacay
  • Finish: 27 Oct 09 on way to see doc in Dallas
  • Yarn: 3 skeins Mini Mochi bought at the Sow’s Ear in WI
  • Needles: US 5 Addi Lace, also bought at the Sow’s Ear
  • Por: me

Easy, mindless pattern.  Yarn was knotted in several places and very loose spun in others.  Not a sock yarn for sure.  Also stained my fingers.  Soaked in vinegar and euclan.

≈  ≈  ≈

Just to prove I’m not all about the roid rage.  This is for my baby.

That is all.

≈  ≈  ≈

I’m going to relax with Icarus since I have the damn iv outta my arm now.  Yeah.  You heard me.  Icarus.

Happy Wednesday Bitches!
