A conglomeration of crap

First up, a stolen meme:

Make a list of 5 things you can see without getting up:

1) My filthy disgusting keyboard

2) Cavuto, laying on an office chair

3)The dirty fan in my window

4)My coffee

5)Huge ugly file cabinet



What were you like when you were five?

Emotionally devastated. My parents had just split up and I lost my Daddy.I was scared to death of everything.














What are you wearing now?

Baggy lime green sweats and a black shirt with flamingos. I'm sexy like that.



What color is your bedroom?

Tan and Teal.Like the Caribbean sea.



What’s the last thing you read/are currently reading?

I just read "The Tomato Girl" by Jayne Pupek ..Great book! I give it 4 stars. It is a tear jerker though.

Now I am reading "Leather Maiden" by Joe R. Lansdale. So far, it's pretty good too.



Do you nap a lot?

By a lot, do you mean about 2 or 3 hours, every day? Then yes. Cavuto wakes me up at 4 a.m.


Who was the last person you hugged?

Probably my spouse and that was quite some time ago.



What’s your current obsession/addiction?
Wishing for spring.



What was the last thing you said aloud?

"come on ju baby, get your whip cream." (to cavuto)




What websites do you always visit when you go online?

My email and ya'lls blogs :)



What was the last thing you bought?

Yesterday ,the highlight of my day was buying groceries.Woo hoo!



What are you listening to right now?

The news talking about herpes.



If you could have any super power, what would it be?

The ability to transport myself to somewhere else. That would be awesome!



What is your favorite weather, and why?

Warm and sunny baby! I am a tropical girl at heart and always have been .













What was the last reality tv show you watched?

Don't really watch any of them except "wife swap" I'd like to be on "Survivor" though.I think they should do a "mother /son " episode. :) My kids and me would WIN!




What is your most challenging goal right now?

To actually get enough business from Mobile mermaids to have some semblance of a life and to make the wedding money I need because I sent all that I had saved to my kids.




If you could have a house–totally paid for, fully furnished–anywhere in the world, where would you want it to be?
Someplace tropical ,close to a "real " city.



Favorite vacation spot?

Imaginary ,right? Like I've been ON a bunch of vacations. Ha! I would love to go to the Florida keys and Puerto Rico.




What is your favorite children’s book?

"Pippy" and "Island of the blue dolphins."




Name one thing you just can’t resist no matter how bad it is for you:

cigarettes (duh)




If you could meet anyone famous - dead or alive - who would it be?

Famous people mean nothing to me. So, I'll go with Erma Bombeck, my hero!



If you could have any job in the world, what would it be?

The new Erma Bombeck :)


Steal the meme if you want.

Cavuto update:

I'm happy to say that Cavuto has physically recovered from his quarantine ordeal.

He's gained most of the weight back and is looking like his beautiful self again.

He's never been a "lone " cat though and does not know how to entertain himself.





He's used to his activity director, O'Reilly keeping the day exciting.







And tormenting Monkey is always good for a thrill.







The poor thing is bored and lonely without his cohorts. The whole situation makes me sad and mad.



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

Oh, before I forget I have a question for a UK or expat reader. (PLEASE!)

My health insurance is in England .I am here right now. My husband needs to send me my prescriptions. I need to know :What should he put on the customs form?


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

They are raising the lake as we speak. It should be fully raised by March 15th. Hopefully, our boat cleaning business will then take off like wildfire:)

I actually got our first call yesterday. You know what the guy said?

"Hi, do you guys rent boats?"

Gah! Perhaps we need to make the website even MORE specific.


I have spent hours trying to make a brochure and am having NO success with finding a decent template. It's driving me wacko!
I welcome your suggestions:)


Other than that, I got nuthin' . It's like a ghost town around here.My friends are out of pocket.
Floozie1's car is wrecked so she's barely driving it.
Floozie2 has company.
Nosey is out of town.
And Eva is too broke to come into town.

It's just me and Cavuto and damn if we aren't boring!


Hope you're having a wonderful day!

Luv me

Titles are for good posts.....................

Ola Ya'll,



Yep ,I know I'm behind again. My email has been screwed up and my spouse has been on my computer searching for drills and stuff. If you have emailed me and never heard a word back, I probably never got your email.



Yesterday we went to a cute little town called Winchester.It used to be the Capital of England. We got there and found we could only park for ONE hour. So my husband drug me through the streets at high speed. I went into a few thrift stores, for some speed shopping. I tried to take pictures ,but while doing so without even stopping my brisk pace. So,I present to you ,the worst pictures ever taken.



If you have ever gone shopping with my husband (and some of you have) you would have that V-8 moment ,slap in the head "oh, yeah NOW I remember why I vowed to never do that again."


I could go on, (and on and on) about what he does to the shopping experience. But I will force myself to shut up now:)



Let's just see the awful pictures, shall we.











street band . there were several of these on the pedestrian street.


















Boot and teapot ,hanging in dreary sky.














Winchester Cathedral.













pedestrian mob street














town













very old pub













Small town on the way home











The dreary English countryside on the way home










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

Why yes, I do feel like a bitch.

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

We took Cavutos crate to quarantine yesterday . They will take him to the animal reception place the night before we leave.

They also presented us with our bill.

I told my husband "you may want to have a couple cocktails before you look at it."

Besides the plane tickets home...and the pet travel service....how much was this little fiasco?

908.29 pounds.
Which IS....drum roll please.......

$1355.80 US dollars.

Who can we sue? The Vet? The microchip company? Hmmm... I wish we could sue somebody.

I am livid!!!!!!!

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

You think I'm in a good mood ,you should see my husband. lol

Nah...you wouldn't want to. :)

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

Hope all's good for you guys today!

Luv me (Crabitha)
