cindy came by the house

the other day because a light came on in her car.  She wanted us to see if it might be her tire needing air.  It was. I went with her to Bucees and filled the tire up with air.  She called Earl to talk to him about the tire.  She told him it didn't even have ten and I filled it up to 33.  Thirty three whats, you may be asking.  She wasn't sure so she called them "air things".  I laugh because I can relate.

at 3:15 yesterday

afternoon Eric told me he wanted to go to the mall to find a jedi costume for school tomorrow.  It's spirit week and today they are dressing like superheroes.  I told him he could spend $30.  (Seriously, I spent $65 on Monday for a mum and then who knows what I'll spend to make an outfit for the black light pep rally tomorrow.)  Anyway, he went to the mall, Walmart and Target... nothing.  So at 8:30 last night, Mom and I got to work with what I had lying around the house.  We tore apart an old jedi costume (which was a kids size), found some brown and beige fabric around the house, broke several needles, used some glue and even a few staples and now we have a jedi.  Unfortunately, I cannot put my pictures up on here so I'll post it on Facebook and you can see it there.

I will get this posting back to a normal, less complicated way of working.

A funny little bit of extra info is I emailed this picture to myself from my phone.  A while back I changed the "sent from my iPhone" to "sent from a galaxy far far away".  So I get a picture of a Jedi reading "Sent from a galaxy far far away."

still no computer

means still no posting.

i haven't forgotten

to post, it's just a lot easier to do when I have a computer.

oh how this does

suck.  Once again, I have no computer.  My laptop is dead, after a much used two year life span.  When I say two years, I mean almost to the day.  I think I have a way to get things done without having to always use Eric's computer but it's going to be a real pain in the butt.  I have several options at this point but I really don't know what I want to do.  I've considered never purchasing another HP product again.  Although that could very well happen, I don't know if I'll go Mac happy just yet.  

For now I'm totally frustrated with computers and I'm tired of looking at broken ones.  I'd like to line them all up and use them for target practice.  So I'll stick with the Jimi Hendrix theme and stick a video in right here

i'm not a fan of

soap operas.  When I worked for JCPenney, and had an alternating schedule, sometimes I would be home during the day when all the soap operas were on.  I would often set the tv to a soap opera so I could take a nap.  Fast forward.  When I was Eric's ride to school I usually started off with the morning news on channel 2.  I never sat around and watched tv all day but I kept it on for noise and to keep up with the time.  Anyway, I knew when the "soap opera with the hourglass" was over and Rachael Ray started yapping, it was time to bring whatever I was doing to an end and get ready to leave to pick Eric up.   The show is actually Days of Our Lives but I have to stop and think about what it's called.  Days of Our Lives, One Life to Live, General Hospital... it's all the same... boring soap operas.  I can give you a general idea of who the people are and what's going on because I hear it since I spend a lot of time in the kitchen.  I've come to realize though that the reason I don't like soap operas is not just because they're boring but they are so freaking ridiculous!  OMG.  It's not even drama, it's stupid, beyond ridiculous drama.  That whole "town" on the show is one complete dysfunctional mess.  It's just ridiculous.  Now that Eric's driving himself, I don't really need to be anywhere at any particular time but my tv is still usually on channel 2 during the day.  I've been breaking away after the news and finding my noise through other stations but I've recently found out that Rachael Ray won't be coming on at 2:00 anymore.  Starting September 13th at 2:00, after the morally corrupt town of Salem (I told you, I can give you general info) airs, channel 2 will now show repeats of The Real Housewives.  Now it's back to keeping the tv on channel 2 during the day.  I guess some dysfunctional, ridiculous messes are better than others.


I'll post this video just because I had the song stuck in my head all day yesterday after the Jimi Hendrix reference.

i took the mg to

West Columbia yesterday.  Eric had a cd in the player and I was listening to it on the way home.  I told Eric there was an instrumental playing on his cd which I'm sure was Stevie Ray Vaughan but sounded a lot like Jimi Hendrix and I knew I'd heard it before.  It really went well with the drive home.



Uh oh, do I see another theme coming?

that whole making

biscuits before the crack of dawn thing probably isn't for me.  I woke up at 4:00 this morning and I'm feeling it now.  I'm pretty sure I'll be dragging around all day.  Too bad I loathe coffee.  You know though, even if I enjoyed coffee, I probably wouldn't drink it because I think that's probably expected of someone waking up at 4:00 to make biscuits... that and hanging the clothes out on the line while getting eggs from the chicken coop.  Wait, but isn't that what's in now?  Either way, I'm tired and frozen biscuits are easier and better than the recipe I made today. 

i need a little

more time off.  There hasn't been a lot going on.
