Have you ever had a day that is one thing after another and EVERYTHING takes an hour?
I had two of those days in a row this past week!
First off the WATER BILL told us we were using 69 gallons of water per day!
The watering system has been SHUT OFF since the end of October for the landscaping!
We are two people; plus the menagerie who barely touches the water……I would say the biggest intake is OLAF; as I wet his food down with it and add Prune JUICE in the mornings.
How he got the dishtowel perfectly on TOP OF HIMSELF is beyond me!
As I was paying BILLS I ran out of checks……..so I went to the drawer where we keep the boxes of checks and found TWO BOOKS inside.Both full of non-used DEPOSIT SLIPS!
Bottom line I was OUT of CHECKS………….
I was so MAD!
Do you think there is a phone number now on the printed checks for the bank?
The answer is NO!
I google. Get number. Call one minute before 9 am.
DO as required which takes a lot of time. Push ONE for THIS push TWO for THAT and find out they OPEN at 9 and cannot leave a message as I do not have the INBOX NUMBER of THE PERSON I WANT TO CHAT WITH.
Back to the water company.I call and am able to speak to a REAL LIVE PERSON!
Who tells me either they read the METER WRONG or we have a LEAK.
(Never mind the ITALIAN already checked the meter and informs me we have NO LEAK.)
He is GOOD at THAT STUFF……….unlike ME!
OH JOY!
NO LEAK JUST TWO COOKIE MONSTERS MAKING BIG COOKIES!
Let’s break this RANT up with a BOOK REVIEW SHALL WE?
THE AMAZING FIFI in her LATE 70’s I might ADD has come out with another book for us ALL TO ENJOY!Many are smaller homes with the ROMANTIC HOME being the theme and PASSION for these HOME OWNERS.Older homes that have been renovated on a BUDGET and a THIRST for THE HUNT at ANTIQUE and FLEA MARKETS…………with a SPLASH OF FRENCH SOPHISTICATION tossed in!
It’s a SPRING TIME FEAST for YOUR EYES and I had a little smile or chuckle as I READ THE BOOK!
In a lot of the photos I either own or did own a few of the OBJECTS DE DECOR!
This style hits on COMFORT and SHABBY CHIC with a sense of not being MORE is MORE.
Head to your LOCAL BOOKSTORE to PURCHASE or TO ORDER HER BOOK CLICK BELOW………..
I think YOU will enjoy it as we all are paring down as the years TROT ON.
YES!(THAT INCLUDES ME TOO!)
WeLL, KIND OF………..if I can find a good home for it I will give an item away!
Then again it might be a GOOD WAY to get back at THE FAMILY by letting them deal with it!
EVERYTHING I OWN HAS A STORY OR IS SENTIMENTAL.
NOTHING IS IN MY HOUSE BECAUSE IT WAS A NECESSITY.
I EITHER SAVED IT FROM THE DUMP OR PAID A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY FOR IT AS IT SPOKE TO ME!
I COVET THINGS AND NEVER EVER TIRE OF THEM…………
I THINK THAT MAKES ME WERID.
BUT THAT’s OKAY…………….YOU HANG OUT WITH ME!
ANOTHER BOOK I REALLY LOVED.
I would say MOST OF US GREW UP WITH Barbra Streisand!
I ENJOYED THIS 900 PAGE BOOK SO MUCH I DIDNOT WANT IT TO END!
WHAT SHE HAS ENDURED AND HOW SHE KEPT CONTROL OF HER WORK IN A MALE DOMINATED FIELD IS REALLY IMPRESSIVE!
I was crying and smiling ALL THE WAY THROUGH……..
SHE TOOK ME DOWN MEMORY LANE even though I did not know a lot of the names in the music world they seemed familiar to me.AND her BOYFRIENDS you will of course recall………….
I could RELATE to her on so many LEVELS.
NOT HER FAME but my job as a very young girl was to put her record albums on when my father returned home from work!SO, I grew up listening to HER SING in my living room.
I even put on a PLAY in our basement after THE MOVIE FUNNY GIRL came out which was me copying HER.
MY name was CLUMSY and I was an aspiring BALLERINA!
I entered the stage by doing somersaults ………………thats all I can really remember!
I WROTE AND PRODUCED AND DIRECTED plus STARED IN MY PRODUCTIONS and there were a FEW!
Oliver Twist was another production I copied.
I LOVED MAKING A STAGE SET AND PREFORMING!
I WAS OBSESSED WITH THE STAGE CURTAINS!
(THIS WAS ALL DONE IN THE 4th and 5th grades.)
LIFE can be one BIG performance if we want it to be!
THIS WAS NO PERFORMANCE.
JUST PURE BLISS AND HAPPINESS!
CHILDREN COME AND GO but their utensils, cups and plates remain!
The spoon was mine when I was a baby so we are looking at an item that is 64 years old.
The forks and the PUSHER were my FIRST BORNS………..
The plates both MY SONS HAD and I STILL DO!
ABOUT THOSE WIRES………..it’s been TWO WEEKS TODAY SINCE THEY CAME OFF.
DO YOU THINK I HAVE HEARD ANY NEWS?
I HAVE EMAILED MY DOCTORS as calling them is WORTHLESS.
I have CALLED THE COMPANY WHO HAS PROVIDED THIS SERVICE FOR KAISER.
THEY ARE OUT OF TEXAS.
NO RESPONSE YET……………….
HOW MANY OF YOU ARE WITH ME AND THINK THIS HAS FALLEN THROUGH THE CRACKS?
CRACKS LIKE THESE PERHAPS………..?
A CERTAIN PIGGY FOUND HIS WAY DOWN THE GARDEN STEPS THIS WEEK FOR A GRAND WALK ABOUT AND DISCOVERY!
IT WAS HEART WARMING as it’s been 6 months since we have had him and never before has HE wandered DOWN THE HILL!
There is a math formula one can do to get the weight of ones PIGGY!I was able to do it length times girth behind front legs times GIRTH AGAIN divided by 400!Which on OLAF equals 237 pounds!SO, this guy was more like 300 pounds upon ADOPTION I would guess!
HE IS MY PRIDE AND JOY and for those of you in the know things are improving between him and BETTY!
BE WELL!
AS THE SERVICE YOU GET WHEN YOU ARE NOT WELL IS BELOW AVERAGE in my neck of the woods!
I HEAR CANADA IS EVEN WORSE!
CHIME IN WITH YOUR THOUGHTS or STORIES BELOW ……….
KEEP SCROLLING DOWNWARDS TO COMMENT!
VENTING IS GOOD TO DO!
TRUST ME!
