Do you have a backhoe I can borrow?

Hi ya'll,


Sunday morning I went up in the attic and got my boxes of summer clothes down. and by that , I mean I climb up the scary "ladder stairs" and have to roll the boxes down ,where they crash in a heap at the bottom.



Little did I know what a huge can of worms I was opening.Once I had those clothes.....I now had to drag the entire contents of my closet out ,pack away the really winter-y clothes and sift through all the clothes that are now too big for me.






Which was pretty much everything in my closet.











OMG! What a mess I made.




Two days later ,I am still not done with my little project.







I now have three huge boxes of clothes to get rid of.Gah!

Now I have to have a yard sale:)

If you're in the market for some size 10 bottoms and size large tops, let me know. I'll have an online yard sale.

3 bucks for bottoms, 2 bucks for tops. Most of it is new or like new. And no walmart clothes either!

Seriously, let me know what ya need and I'll tell you if I have it.

*********************************************************************************
Obviously ,since I've been trapped in closet hell for 2 days I have nothing exciting to report.
I haven't even seen another human being.








Cavuto is doing great and looking like his old self again.








Only now, he's quite the lazy slug without his sidekicks.

He'll probably be obese by August.
:)








O'Reilly, doing his bunny in England.




I feel so bad that they have to be separated. He misses Cavuto desperately.















Monkey,caught mid-bitch on one of the new cat shelves.

She does not like England. It's too cold!



Hopefully today will be fun or exciting around here. Figure the odds.


Hope you guys have a great day in your worlds!

Luv me

You romantic devil.... and a P.s.

Hi ya'll,


Late Happy Valentines day ! Yesterday morning when my spouse called me I said "did you get my Valentine card?"


I had scanned it and emailed it to him.


"Yeah, I got it. I didn't get you anything yet."


We are supposed to be living on the CHEAP right now, trying to recover from the quarantine fiasco.So I've been reluctant to bring up the fact that I may need to buy a power washer.(here's my chance)


"Oh, well don't, I may need to get a power washer."


"You don't even have a customer yet." (always the optimist) lol


During the rest of our conversation it comes up (again) how he needs to buy a dresser. Right now he has the bedroom T.V. sitting on a little outdoor table and a toolbox.So he really DOES need a dresser.
Well "I" am thinking CHEAP, used dresser.


My husband does not know the meaning of the word CHEAP.


Later on ,he calls me while I'm at the library.


"I decided to get you a power washer for Valentines day."


"Oh goody!"


"Oh, I got a dresser today too. I got a discount on it. "


This raises my money hackles. "You wouldn't know a discount if you tripped on it."


I did not ask what he paid for the dresser because I'm sure the knowledge would make me nauseous.
I am picturing a solid oak ,7 or 800.00 dresser. He will send me a picture of it later on today.
:)
We'll see if my hunch is right.


So, I will be getting my most romantic Valentine present EVER.





Woo Hoo!





Now when I get a customer.....I will be good to go!



My son has been working on our website and I must say it is looking pretty good so far.

Check it out and tell me what you think. Don't bother clicking on the links yet because they're still empty.


Note that there is a "big" word on there. Tell me if you know what it means. No looking it up!

Floozie1 is picking me up for the bacon buffet ,in her new car this morning. She just bought herself a Toyota Matrix. I had no idea the inside of them was so cute.


I better go get beautiful.


Have a great day peeps!

Luv me

P.s. After I posted that I went and looked at dressers on the UK websites and I saved
THIS picture of the dresser i thought my husband would have bought.







Nice Oak dresser. Right?







Well, he just sent me pictures of the dresser he bought.



Do I know my husband or what?




Ta da!

Hey, is that my MOO MOO?

Ola ya'll,


Well, it's that time of year again. You know when the new spring fashions start showing up in the stores. We get that first glimpse of the hideous crap we are expected to actually pay money to wear.



WHY? Why do they do this to us EVERY year? Am I wrong, or does it just keep getting uglier?



Presenting the spring 09 collection:






"um Honey ,can you carry me everywhere we go, 'cuz I can't possibly walk in my new spring shoes?"













Long skin tight shirts? Seriously, WHO besides a 10 year old could look good in this?












I am speechless, this is so ugly. They found a warehouse of old material from the 70's, is that it?










And this? Would you pay 80 bucks for this?












Yeah," my mom called , she wants her MOO MOO back!"
















"Can I be a stripper who can't walk?"














"Mrs. Brady? Is that you?"















Long shirts with that stupid band on the bottom. Who can that possibly flatter?














UGH! I think this is my old maternity shirt from 1980.

Do women not look and feel fat enough?

WHO would pay money for this??















How 'bout these? You KNOW if they look this crappy on a toothpick they are really gonna look bad on US.
Maybe they should make that baggy waist a little higher.











Oh ....like THIS ! NOT!

Here it is ladies.....that sailor suit you've been missing since you outgrew it ,when you were 6!













I give up. No wonder I dress like a bum.


I'm going up to the attic and get last years ugly clothes and hope to God some of them still fit me.


Have a wonderful day and don't bother going shopping.


Luv me

Lame-o

Hi Ya'll ,


I've been trying to update this thing all day. I've been too busy . Not that I even have anything to update about, either.


I've spent most of the day working on Mobile Merm**ds.


Made a lot of progress too. Website, up and running....awaiting more content. Business cards made and ordered.....check!Logo finally finished and acceptable....check!Business plan and agreement written and signed...check!


Now I just need a nerve pill and a client :)




Better?


Well, that's our logo . so too bad if you don't like it. LOL



I see that hardly anyone has updated today. What were you guys so busy doing?



As usual , there is NOTHING on T.V.
GAH!! that makes me so mad.
BTW, has anyone noticed that they took away "lifetime" and stuck "bravo" on there instead?
Do you know what that means? NO Golden Girls!
Who is responsible for this?? Who do I complain to?



Yesterday it was 75 degrees! I took a book , a blanket and a little pillow and went and hung out on my boat dock for a couple hours. It was heavenly.



To be continued.......I've even boring myself with this crap.
:)

********************************************************************************
Good morning.....

I still "got nuthin'"


So, I'll go ahead and call it a post. Sorry:)

Hope you're having a great Tuesday!

Luv me

Is there a mermaid in the house?

Ola Ya'll,

Yesterday blogger was listing my links like NO ONE had updated for days. Then today ,I see it says "one day ago" WTH?
Some of you did update and blogger lied to me.



I'm supposed to go meet Floozie1 at what we call "the bacon buffet" in a little bit .We do Sunday breakfast there quite often.In spite of that, I just got on the scale and have now lost 17 pounds. WOO HOO!!!
Weird how I still look exactly the same ,when i look in the mirror.



I may as well tell you guys about my new summer business plan. Either we'll be jinxed or we won't be. Figure the odds. LOL






(click on it to see it big)



As you can see, we are having a problem coming up with a decent mermaid. (this is just a rough draft) but I hate her. she's too "little mermaid-ish"














Here's MY great mermaid. lol

Equally hideous ,in her own special way.


If any of you happen to be an artist...could you please send me a mermaid? LOL










I have a fun filled day of cleaning and laundry planned. I had thought that was yesterdays plan but it took me all day to get half of it done. So more of the same today.






Knuklehead on top of the cabinets.

Note the ear sores ,nearly healed.












Ain't I pretty?







He often uses that gourd for a pillow.

(yes, I see that I need to dust that crap)













sweet kittie feet







Have a great Sunday !

Luv me


Update:: Now we're gettin' somewhere. How about this one?

Cat shelves,curses and sunshine in a box.....

Hi Ya'll,


I am working on a new little business . I don't want to jinx it by blabbing "too much" just yet. I'm waiting for my advertising son to work his marketing magic first. Then ,I'll tell ya'll all about it.


I will tell ya' that I'm doing it with my old real Estate partner ,Eva. Is it possible for two people with "the curse" to make money at anything? We shall see. LOL
Yes, SHE also suffers from the "Schleprock curse". So wish us luck, ok!


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


Yesterday I got the sweetest ,most thoughtful surprise.The UPS lady rang my doorbell and left a box from my friend Kim ,out in Californee. I had NO idea what it could possible be.
Inside was a note saying "Enclosed you will find a little California sunshine."





It was a box of humongous oranges,the size of grapefruits!


Thank you Kim! That was awesome of you!
I guarantee you won't see anything like those in MY grocery store right now:)


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




My husband has been building cat shelves ,in high places to keep this knuclkehead from living on the door tops.

The one he is sitting on is at the top of the stairwell. it's cat Heaven!

Every time I see a new picture of him it makes me soooo sad. I can't believe how much I miss him.

Cavuto feels the same way :(


Well, it's after 10 and I'm still sitting here in my jammies. I better get off my laze and get busy.


Have a wonderful day peeps!

Just a Hi..............


Hi ya'll,

I'm busy working on a gainful employment endeavor.I'll tell you all about it later.

Just wanted to check in and say "update your dang blogs!"








Cavuto seems to be looking better.













Cat loaf.









I have spring fever. I want it to be spring like NOW!


Last night I watched the "secret life of bees" It was good but of course ,not as good as the book was.

Other than that ,it's pretty boring around here.
I'm out'a heah.

I'm going to meet Floozie1 for lunch.

Have a great day!

Luv me
