oh the joy......

Ola ya'll ,


I got nuthin' . Seriously....nuthin'.



I'm going to start searching for the award we deserve.The most boring couple ever. I know it's out there somewhere.



If you think you're more boring than us, please let me know.



We're about to go take a drive to some place we haven't seen. Maybe I'll be back with something to report.



I'm considering taking up alcoholiism and porn*.
It's on tv for free here. Isn't that special? Ugh NOT!


Happy Sunday peeps!

My laundry!

Ola ya'll,


Well My hubby got home yesterday, from Sweden about noon so I had this brilliant plan to go to the doctor , wouldn't ya know it they're closed on Thursday. Gah!


I did however take a little quiz on their website and apparently I do not have the swine flu. They diagnose it remotely , through this quiz and if they think you have it, they will allow someone else to come pick up the medicine. Ok, whatever ...I'll just keep taking my LEMSIP and Nyquil.
Surely it's got to go away eventually.


Neeless to say, I have barely been out of the house. I think I took the bus to Fareham Wednesday. Here are my first British thrift store finds.







Black mirror to go with my ugly black candleabras.



A score for 3 pound 50 pence.
(whatever that means)













and.... a monkey bowl for 2 pound 80.


The money situation is very confusing to me. Maybe I should get some of those little kid workbooks and learn the metric system and the money from scratch.






My kids are gearing up for their annual halloween bash. One in Florida and one in Chicago. I can't wait to see the pictures. (living vicariously thru the young) :)



My oldest also bought himself a ticket to Chicago for Christmas. this will be the second Christmas without us. :(

I'm glad they will all be together though.








(all my hooligans last Christmas)

Pajama Kareoke??


Love you guys!!!






*********************************************************************

I was going to go take a bus somewhere I haven't been today and then have hubby pick me up after work, but then I remembered they are delivering my groceries at 3:00 today. So nope , can't do that. I'm waiting for my 3 hour frekin' wash cycle to finish so I can hang up the laundry :)
Oh how I love hanging laundry inside the house. Makes me feel like I'm living in the projects.


I am behind on all my email So please know that I'm not ignoring you.....just sick and unorganized :) hopefully I'll get caught up this weekend while my hubby is laying around watching hideously boring news and old movies.


We just found out we have to pay a bunch of money for taxes. Ack! I am NEVER going to get a dining room table and chairs :(




I think I no longer hear the washer.....off to do the next load.


happy Friday peeps!

Please ,put a bag over my head won't you....

yes, I am a bitter hag right now.






That little dark spot up there is Monkey. She stayed there from 5 a.m. allllll day long because she's so afraid of Cavuto .
ack!













Still life called "sick and depressed"
















sorry, but no!













How could anyone NOT be depressed looking at this view?
Can't I have a dining room table and chairs?












"I'm bored"












Does anyone really look like this when they're sick?












I think NOT!

UGH! I am terminally hideous.

Sweats rolled up with black socks because I've been too ill to do laundry? Check.
Hair gone to pot worse than dead straw? check.
Pasty ,blotchy skin with no strength to apply makeup? check




THIS is what sick and depressed REALLY looks like.


















anddd...to top it off I cut my own bangs and they look about like this now. Isn't that special.



















Bond.....James Bond















It's been pouring rain for 2 days. I am STILL sick . may I just scream???
