HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING! He felt well enough to return to work! 😀 So I slept in. Will do a few things to tidy up around here but mostly I'm taking it easy today. 😉 Everybody have a wonderful Spring day even if the weather isn't exactly Spring like. 😀 | |

Today "the Hobbit" was released on DVD/BLURAY. I drove into town to WallyWorld (walmart) and they had a one day sale on the movie. I bought the combo pack with BLU-RAY 3D + Blu-ray + DVD + ultraviolet. YEA! 😀 Tomorrow the prices all start at 29.96 and go up from there. I have spent this afternoon watching "The Hobbit" on BLU-RAY and eating spicy jelly beans. 😀 | |

Hey Tillie, That's so cool!!!!! 😀 If you did something like that where I live you would probably get arrested though. The cops are awful where I live. They will pull you over and harass you for no reason at all. It has never happened to me before; but when my half brother was my age, he would get harassed by cops all the time for no reason at all. A cop did threaten to arrest me once when I was 9 years old though. It was the day that my half brother's father died. I remember when we pulled up to my half brother's dad's house there were police cars, a fire truck, and an ambulance at his house. And when we got out of the car and asked what was going on, a cop came up to us and told us that my half brother's father died. After he told us that, the cop said that he thought it would be a good idea if my half brother and I waited in the car while he talked to my mom. So we went back to the car and waited for him to get done talking with my mom. A couple of minutes after we got back in the car, the cop and my mom went inside the house. After I saw that they went inside the house, I decided to get out of the car and follow them into the house. After I got out of the car and started walking towards the house, another cop yelled at me and told me that if I didn't get back in the car, then he was going to arrest me. He totally scared the crap out of me when he yelled at me and threatened to arrest me. I remember after he said that, I started balling my eyes out; and one of the firefighters came up to me and asked me what was wrong. After I told him what happened he walked me back to the car and then walked over to the cop that threatened to arrest me and then he punched him and then started yelling at him. It was pretty cool to see that happen. 🙂 That was the day that I started liking firefighters and paramedics more than cops. 🙂 | |

He is feeling much better today. Now he is complaining that his butt hurts. It is a cold dark wet day today so it looks like I won't be going outside to play. I don't have any plans. He did a LOT of decluttering in his bedroom! Maybe today I will finish fixing the beads on my blouse. They look like they might fall off. Hope everyone has some fun today. 🙂 | |

MayMay If you listen to a "scanner" in Houston you could hear all the strange things that police, fire & ambulance get calls for. I had a run in with a Houston cop. | |
| MayMay | Posted: 18 March 2013 - 04:13 PM |
I hope your husband feels better soon Tillie. 🙂 | |

Hey Tillie, Really? Stuff like that happens a lot here in Houston? That actually makes me want to move here to Houston. 😀 Because nothing weird or crazy ever happens where I live. My town is very boring. 🙁 I'm actually kind of shocked that I didn't get arrested while they were trying to catch her. Lol. 😉 Because at one point while they were trying to catch her, they kind of had her trapped; and on one side of her there was a firefighter and a paramedic ready to catch her and wrap her up in a blanket. And on the other side of her there were 2 police officers ready to catch her and put her in handcuffs. So she was about to get caught no matter what; but they kind of let her make her own decision about who she wanted to grab her. I could see her head moving back and fourth trying to figure out who she wanted to run to; so I decided to roll down my window and help her out with her decision by yelling at her and telling her to run to the firefighter and the paramedic. After I did that she looked at me; so I yelled at her again and told her to run to the firefighter and the paramedic because they know how to treat a girl right. Lol. After I did that, one of the cops that was near my car gave me the meanest glare I've ever seen. Lol. I totally thought that I was going to get arrested right there on the spot. Lol. | |

Hi Dianne 😀 I am taking a lunch break right now. We have been fortunate to have lovely Spring weather days mixed in with Wintery cold days this month. Hoping your Spring will get there soon (((hugs))) This morning two of the cats started a wrestling match in my garden right on top of my Daffodils. OK... TTYL, back to work, Tillie 🙂 | |
| Dianne | Posted: 18 March 2013 - 01:13 PM |
Is it Monday? I need motivation too Tillie. Another grey, cold, wintry-mix-4-days-in-a-row is too much for me. I tried to bring in some hyacinths a few weeks ago to get some spring in our moods but the cats tried eating them and then Miss Gelsey, our Sheltie/Beagle/Jack Russell/and/probably/cat mix (as she can jump into bookcases) made it onto the table, knocked the plants to the floor where it was an effing free for all. Teeny Tiny Tina, our runty Pug who looks like a mini English Mastiff with her long legs and slender body started *sounding the alarm*. She has a very annoying, screaming bark that she only uses when she is pissed that Gelsey won't share the spoils of whatever she has gotten into. I salvaged what I could of the poor plants and put them in a high windowsill. So today I thought, "I need some spring flowers to cheer me up, get me cleaning again and put that sweet scent in the air." Just not gonna happen. I do miss the days when I could keep fresh flowers everywhere. Tomorrow I go on grandchild and extra dog care between two house for another 2 weeks. I just need me some sunshine and springtime! | |

He is still sick. I think he may have pneumonia by now or maybe just the plague. He is going to the dr. today. Anyways...... There's some dishes that need washing. Maybe I will just wash my hair and take a nap. 😉 I need to find some motivation. Mondays suck 😀 | |

MayMay I hated Houston so much that I turned down a dream job with the fire department there back in 1978. I did like the highway that went all around the city like a giant wagon wheel. Made it easy to find places. | |
| MayMay | Posted: 17 March 2013 - 03:04 PM |
OMG! I saw the CRAZIEST thing happen today! Today while I've been out and about in Houston, I saw some women running around naked! LOL. It was hilarious! I have no idea why she was running around naked; she might have been drunk or something. but they made a HUGE deal out of it. They literally had everyone chasing after her. They had the police, the paramedics, and firefighters all chasing after her. When I first saw the fire trucks and ambulances, I thought that there might have been an accident or something. But it turns out that the fire department was just there to help catch the naked women. Take a guess as to which department was finally able to catch her. I'll give you a hint as to which one it was. Here's your hint: When they were finally able to catch her, they didn't put her in handcuffs, but instead they wrapped her up in a blanket. 🙂 | |

Happy St. Patty's Day!!! 😀 MayMay, nice posters! Dianne, My plans for today.... Today we are going to put up a new ceiling fan in the livingroom area. Wish me luck 😉 | |
| Dianne | Posted: 17 March 2013 - 08:24 AM |
Happy St. Paddy's Day everyone! Today I'll be doing a little Irish jig as I raise my pint of Guinness to my lineage, the wee ones and that elusive pot o' gold! Whatever your plans for today be sure and wear a bit o' the green or else the leprechauns will give you a little pinch for sure! 😀 | |

Thanks Tillie. 🙂 The cool thing about keepcalmandposters.com is that after you make a poster, you can buy the poster that you made. 🙂 And earlier today my boss called me and told me that he bought 2 posters that the hoarder and I made last night for the bar. 🙂 One of them says, "Cory Chalmers is always welcome here." And the other one says, "Matt Paxton is always welcome here." Here are the links to the posters: http://www.keepcalmandposters.com/poster/cory-chalmers-is-always-welcome-here-18 http://www.keepcalmandposters.com/poster/matt-paxton-is-always-welcome-here-9 | |

So far I have no plans for today. Fed the cats breakfast. Wondering if "he" has any plans. Right now I am still sitting in bed drinking tea and playing on the computer 😀 | |

Hi MayMay 🙂 Glad to see that you have found some fun activities to do while waiting on APS. 😀 Take care. | |
| Tillie | Posted: 16 March 2013 - 11:24 AM |
Hi Beverly 😀 Paulie sounds so sweet and happy! The thing I like best about the quail is when a momma comes walking out with her newly hatched brood swirling around her feet. They nest under all my hoarders old vehicles and other stuff piled up all around. Happy that you are getting lots of hours at work and the income. 🙂 Take care and please keep in touch when you can. (((hugs))) | |
| MayMay | Posted: 15 March 2013 - 10:00 PM |

Hi Tillie, That's great that you have been able to pretty up your garden. That sounds so nice to have all those quail running around taking dirt baths except that they keep messing up your tree wells. Those silly quail, don't they know all the work it takes to dig those?...haha Sorry to hear your Hubby has been sick with a cold. My little Paulie has laid 4 eggs and she is such a good Mama sitting on her nest only coming out of her Apple box to greet me with kisses, eat, drink and poop. Her box sits on my bed with her food on top although I do have some Zupreem food inside so she can keep eating. It's so cute to watch her sitting on her eggs. Of course they won't hatch so when she gets bored with the eggs I'll take them away and hide the box again like last year. I haven't made any progress on my house but have been working a lot. So it's OK because I sure can use the money. Take care | |

Good morning 🙂 Day three of him being home from work sick with some sort of cold virus. Yesterday I walked over to the neighbor's house and we had a nice visit & got all caught up on the latest news. Today I will get caught up on some inside housework. Now I just need to get my motivation to get up & turn off the computer. 😀 | |
| Tillie | Posted: 15 March 2013 - 11:11 AM |
Hi Dianne 🙂 Glad you got some good rest last night. Yes, emotional energy. Great plan starting with sorting out the easier from the harder decisions. Going to finish drinking my tea & waking up now. 🙂 | |
| Dianne | Posted: 15 March 2013 - 08:40 AM |
Good Morning Tille, I broke down last night and took a sleeping pill. I had been weaning myself off them but I needed to start fresh this morning. Ambien always give me a druggy felling and messes up the next day so I keep a couple Excedrin Migraine and bottle of water next to me in bed. As soon as I begin waking up I take the excedrin and lay there another half hour or so. Then get up with no headache or sluggish feeling. That doesn't work over a long period of time but every once in awhile it's a good solution for me. So this morning I have taken care of some daily work and will finish that by noon. Then some boxes of paper. Goal is to throw out envelopes and stuffer crap inside and set aside what looks important. That will take a lot of emotional energy. Is emotional the right word? Damn, even writing it down gets my insides all jittery. No decisions on what looks important for today. Just get trash out and put the *good* papers in another box. Then maybe next week to deal with that. If I do a good job I'm going to reward myself by seeing a movie tonight. That will get rid of any lingering jitters for sure. Hope everyone has a good day. 🙂 | |

Hi Dianne 🙂 Hope you get a good night's sleep tonight. Way To Go! on passing along the decorations to your daughter. Getting older does seem to have some advantages. 😉 | |
| Dianne | Posted: 14 March 2013 - 02:53 PM |
Hey Tillie, Insomnia has been bugging me the past few nights. So last night I just got up and did some paperwork for a few hours. After daily tasks today I'm going to get some Easter stuff organized. There are several bags of decorations I'll be taking up to my daughter's house. I'll get her home decorated and then the stuff will be hers. 🙂 She keeps bugging me to give her my decorations. We have a ton for Halloween and Christmas too and I'm beginning to let them go. She's good about donating what she doesn't have room for. So it takes some of the burden off me especially when I don't remember what I've given her. There are some perks to getting older and forgetful. 🙂 | |
