Tuesday tidbits....

Happy Tuesday Ya'll,


Thanks for all the Birthday wishes!








Here's the prezzies I got.

Cute overload calendar.....















and Red Door from my eldest son.











Awesome zebra dishes from Floozie2 .

And hubby got me a bunch of stuff from bath and body works.

Thanks you guys!!!!






I spent the day out on the boat. Floozie2 and Lake farmer were out there in their boat too.


The water was cold! I don't know if it's because of all the rain we had or what.
















It was a lovely day.












Lots of yachts out too.


It cost about a thousand bucks to fill that thing up with gas.

And here we have our first glimpses of England.


When I spoke to my spouse about 8p.m. it was so cold he was wearing his leather jacket.




















Look ,they really do have those cute red phone booths:)


This is a pretty rich area. We will not be living in this neighborhood.








I have no idea what this stuff is......he did not send any explanations with the pictures. (big surprise huh?) LOL

Now for some good news!

He actually found a house yesterday.
Naturally, he forgot to bring the camera. gah!
So, I have no idea what it looks like.

All I know it ....it's new, it has 2 bedrooms, it has two stories ,a little "garden" (which is sort of a patio) it's unfurnished and it takes cats!

It's also in a suburb called Whiteley. An English mayberry:) The town has about 3,000 people.

My spouse had THIS to say about what it's like to drive over there.

"……….I had no idea that the “turnabouts” would be such a problem……….it isn’t the driving on the wrong side that’s a problem , I think I was up on the curb more than I was off of it. The turnabouts really confuse the hell out of you and you don’t know who has the right of way……ughhhh!!!! "

If HE"S confused.....I don't think I'm going to want to do much driving:)

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

It's raining again ...so it's the perfect day to stay home and do laundry and clean my pig sty.

Have a great day peeps!


Luv me

Happy Birthday to me....

Happy Sunday Ya'll,


Well, my baby is gone:(
His plane made it safely to England. He called me about 6:30 this morning and said he was at the hotel.


He has an appointment in the morning to go look at apartments.I hope he can find something in one day!Then work starts on Tuesday morning.


Some of you noticed that my spouse is the grammar patrol.(as we like to call him) lol


There is a reason for that...besides the big nerd factor. When he was a little boy his dad got tongue cancer. The doctors had to remove about half of his tongue. After that he had to listen to some kind of tapes to learn to speak again.


Picture it .....the 1950's .....a little, big eared kid spending hours sitting around with his dad, articulating and practicing proper grammar. LOL


There you have it:)


Personally, I barely remember anything I learned in grade school English.









"what's going on around here?"











Naturally my house is in shambles. I need a 6 year old to come do my dishes. ha!
My plan du jour is to clean and then maybe go out on the boat .....all by myself.
*sniffle*


Since we all know how boring Sundays are ...I'm going to leave you with some fun stuff.

Have a great day !

The night before.......my baby is gone....

Happy Friday peeps,

I had all kinds of problems getting anything uploaded.We weren't really drunk. My mad filming skills just make it look that way. We were really just having a blast.


Yesterday Auntie J and her hubby came down to see my spouse before he leaves. Her and I went thrift shopping (and found zip,BTW) the men went out on the boat and then we picked up some bar-b-q for lunch. THAT was my mistake. As soon as I ate ,I was sick again. gah!
For the rest of the day. We were supposed to be over at Floozie2's at 6 P.M.
They had made a "going away " dinner for my hubby .

Floozie 2 really put out a spread too. they had pulled pork, chicken, salmon, broccoli casserole, Nosey's famous olive bread, home made mac and cheese, apple salad, rolls, brownies. I'm probably forgetting something. I was so sick ,I couldn't even eat macaroni and cheese.

Nosey and G5 were there, with their son and 2 grandsons .(age's 2 and 4 ) MEMORIES......lol
They have a 6 year old son as well.. He didn't come because school just started.

We have the best neighbors EVAH!

Today ,we did nothing much. Lazed around for most of the day. Now my hubby is packing. *sniffle*

He ALWAYS waits until the last minute. I could never do such a thing!
He's off for England tomorrow. We actually got an email this morning from a Realtor who said "oh, the cats should be NO problem."
I hope she means that:)



The rest of this is day before yesterday.....the ONLY day we got to go out on the boat. We had a great time.








The Capitan smiles...really ..he does.












Ahhhh...this is the life:)












A beautiful day in the neighborhood.











Yet another well done steak.....they refused to take it back. I said "great , give me a to go box ,maybe my cats will eat it."














The fishy-est mahi mahi I've ever tasted!

Oy, my nerves....

Happy Humpday Ya'll,


I spent most of yesterday lying in bed sleeping off extreme nausea. Caused by either my new thyroid meds or food poisoning from Olive Garden.the night before I had "sent my food back " because the steak was well done. They probably spit on my food.



Anyhow, the whole day was pretty much ruined. By 6 P.M. my spouse wanted to go sit on the boat.I figured I could just as easily be miserable there as in the house. So I moseyed on out there in my pajamas.




He swam a little bit while I sat there and talked about how difficult it is proving to be, to find a landlord in England willing to accept cats.


Really difficult!


It will probably have to be done in person. He will head over there on Saturday.
Yikes!


Cavuto let us sleep in until 8:45 this morning. So...I better get up and get busy.

The rain is finally OVER! Yippee!
We'll be out on the boat this afternoon.

Have a great day peeps!

Scrabulous.......

Happy Monday Ya'll,


As if yesterday wasn't boring enough ...it's pouring rain again today.











Even the cats were bored.










I made the mistake of letting my spouse take my turn ..in online scrabble.
he got out the "real board" and tried different strategies for about an hour. ack!

How could I have forgotten how brutally they played scrabble.

Ridiculous. I could have knit an afghan if I'd known how.




I went around all day closing things.....why would a grown man leave everything open like this?



Cavuto will take this as an engraved invitation to jump right into the cabinet.











Left open ....why???













So much for my clean house. he he .

yes, that suitcase is still there. I would move it , but it's wide open!











This, left open .....why????












This .....left open ....why????


Oh I love my lil darling:)

He just left to go to the dentist ...so I have to hurry and clean things up while he's gone.


Not sure what my plan is for today as we are rained in again. No boating.

I suppose i will have to go thrift storing:)

Have a great day peeps!

Would you like laughing gas with that?

Hi peeps,


My man is home! Yay!
He got here about 4:30 , we were on the boat by 7.


It was supposed to thunderstorm so we didn't stay out long .We came back and drove over to Olive Garden. Naturally they were packed, as was every other restaurant in town.


We wound up going downtown to the "authentic German restaurant" ha ha . Authentic my eye! The food is about t.v. dinner quality. With a slice of good old American cheese melted on top.


One of the things I look forward to about England is getting out of the "grease belt" .If it ain't fried , it ain't food around here.


It's supposed to be pouring rain all day today so THIS will be our day off. Meaning my spouse will lay around on the couch watching the most boring t.v. shows on earth.I will try to finish the book I've been reading for a week now (between chores and naps)
Exciting! NOT!
***********************************************************************

I'm way behind on posting ,so let me think...what have I missed???



Oh yes, the crown. I have never had a crown before. My dentist had explained to me that they file down (drill down) your exsisting tooth to a little nub and then cement a fake tooth over the nub.




(This is NOT MY mouth BTW)



There you see a prepared nub. And some extremely drilled up gums.



When I arrived at the dentist I knew that shots and numbing would be involved. I was surprised when they asked me if I wanted some laughing gas. "Sure, sign me up!"



They put this thing over your nose ,like an oxygen mask and you breathe in the gas. Well, luckily they gave me the gas even before the shots.



It does lessen the terror ,of mostly anticipating the shots.It also made the 2 hours pass faster than it would have without it.



I recall saying "this gas is blowing right into my eye"
The reply "well shut your eyes."

DOH!



They cram your mouth full of the doughy stuff to make a mold of your tooth and then come back and glue in a temporary crown.



I was told "it may be a little sore, like a piece of popcorn stuck in your gum."



What they didn't say was "the entire surface of the temp crown will feel like rough popcorn, your mouth will not close normally because it is bigger than your real tooth, and it's going to drive you ape shit for the next month."



All in all , good times. :)
I highly recommend the laughing gas.
(Brad) :)

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

I guess that's all I've missed. The rest of the week was just cleaning and more cleaning before my hubby got home.





Mission accomplished!















(don't look at that closet)










Now my spouse can spend the week trashing it all.

He's really quite good at it too.





Any one have any big plans for today? Hope you all have good days in your worlds.

Luv me

Too tired to speak....
