Had great fun at the Conference but didn’t get much sleep!

stoogesYes this was me with my friends.  ROFLMAO!

I will write more after I get some sleep. My brain says it either gets a chance to sleep or it will cease to function altogether.

Loving Jim Hensons creature shop challenge

My new favorite TV show! I think from the beginning I’ve been cheering Melissa on. She is such a cutie and her work is marvelous. I am so glad she’s in the final four.

I’m hoping to learn a few things while watching the show that will translate into better props for our Halloween displays.

You all have a good one! And check out the show…

Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge

Welcome to my circus

One of those days where if I hadn’t had a chance to get out of the house I may have later been picked up by the men in the white coats. Even the dogs were getting on my last nerve.

Had the pleasure of my dearest friend’s company for lunch and a market stroll. Afterwards I felt somewhat normal.

Of course, my normal is everyone else’s nightmare. Our household is a total circus on a good day and I am the ringmaster.

I so need decent weather so I can get out and work in the yard. The pond is so full of leaves and water I could easily hide a body in there… hmmm.

The first step is admitting you have a problem…

     I am a silly Quiz addict. I can’t help myself.  It began as lark and turned into an addiction.  When one pops up on Facebook, I can’t resist it. I think I need an intervention!

What state should you live in? NC.  (Damn I’m in the wrong state.)

Which dream home should you live in? Over the water in Bora Bora. (You bet your bippy it wouldn’t be this old house in PA.)

What period in history do you really belong? Medieval Europe.  (I can hear it now, “Burn the witch!  Burn the Witch!”)

What famous work of art are you? Starry Night (That explains it!)

Which character from Shakespeare are you? Beatrice from Much Ado About Nothing.  (I can see that.)

Which philosopher are you?  Socrates.  (Where’s the hemlock?)

Which Hollywood bombshell are you? Marilyn Monroe (Giggle)

How cute are you? Unconventional.  (True!)

They keep on coming too.

What country should you actually live in?  Spain  (Why did I take French in school?)

What city should you live in?  Madrid  (Yep, couldn’t miss this one could I)

What Harry Potter character are you?  Luna Lovegoode (Okaaaay)

What is your patronus?  A hare  (Like Luna Lovegoode, at least I am consistent)

Whatever you do, don’t go to Buzzfeed and get hooked on the quizzes!!!

I heard that dirty word again…

Oh no!  Say it isn’t so!  More effing snow on the way.

Teetering on the edge

     That’s me, teetering on the edge of sanity and 59.  In a couple of weeks I’ll be over the edge and hit 60.  OMG!  60! I never imagined hitting 60. Seems as though, after this winter, I won’t exactly hit 60 as much as it will hit me.

     Just took the dog’s outside and it is a mere nine degrees.  About takes your breath away out there.  The forecast says it will drop to 3 degrees before morning. 

     I really need Spring to hurry up and get here before I lose the few threads of sanity holding me here.  I want to get out of the house, go for walks, go fishing, work on my garden, play in the dirt and get my sanity back on track. This winter was far too long and too brutal.HPIM3659

 

Day 38…

Day 38, I haven’t killed them yet.  The snow is not melting and it has a thick ice covering thus effectively trapping us all.  Clear daggers of frozen beauty hanging from the roofs could work as weapons.  The evidence would melt away once the deed is done.

Spam day

       Why hello there, yes this is my page.  I do not control the technical aspects though, so please don’t tell me what is wrong with it.  

     I speak and read English, if you are typing a response in any other language, please have it translated to English before you post it to my comments if you really want me to read it.  Also, if it makes no sense that doesn’t count as English.

     Oh, and you bots, run away and leave me alone.  Daily I remove you from my spam queue.

     Yes people, I spent quite a while sifting through a ton of spam yesterday.  If you ended up in my spam queue, you went bye-bye after I tried to make sense of the first dozen or so comments.  I then hit ‘delete all’.

Already?

    That came around fast!   I can’t believe I have to go get my driver’s license renewed already.  At least they send it to you early enough to plan on having the hair cut before getting the picture done.

     Seems like I just had it done.  Last time the picture was worse than the time before I looked like a rotting hairball.  I hope this time it’s better because I’ll be stuck with it until 2018.

     Does anyone ever like their driver’s license picture?  Do you like yours?

     You all have a good one.

Yeah, he won’t be driving my car anytime soon.

     “How the bleeeeep do you start your car?”  First thing I heard yesterday before my coffee.

     “Easily.”  I poured a cup full of coffee, stuck it in the microwave to heat it, and smiled at him.

     “No, seriously.  How do you start your car?  I was going to warm it up and clean it off but I couldn’t start it.”

     “You push the button.”

     “I did, it wouldn’t start.”

“What?”  Now I was worried.  I grabbed my key fob.  “See this button?  You push it twice to start it from here.”  I pushed the button, the car started.  I sighed with relief.  “Did you do that?”

     “No, I was sitting in the passenger seat and pushed the button on the dash, and it wouldn’t start.”

     “Um, that’s a safety feature.  If you aren’t in the driver’s seat with your foot on the brake, pushing the button will do nothing.”

     I love my van!

     You all have a good one!

Aw, you can’t find your car?

HPIM3533

     Well, maybe next time you won’t block a driveway.  I had places to go and things to do and you kept me from all of it.  Lucky for you I didn’t have an emergency during the night.   I wonder what this is going to cost her.  🙂 

     Yeah, we think it was a female that parked there.  Usually it is men who are that rude and will actually argue with me when I tell them they can’t park there, but this time we think we saw the culprit when we left to go to the farmers market.

     G and I were walking to the car when we saw a young, I-am-entitled woman talking on her phone, walking back and forth, waving her free arm about,  staring at the place from where the car,  just a few minutes before, was towed.

     We looked at each other and grinned.  Once we got in the car and pulled out we both cracked up. 

     “Want to bet that’s the idiot who parked in front of the driveway all night?” 

     “Naw, that’s too easy.”

     You all have a good one and remember if it’s my driveway you’re thinking of parking in front of, you will be ticketed and towed.  😉 

Maybe I need a sign:

   

How old are you?

     That is the question I hear from The Curmudgeon occasionally.  Is it any wonder?  I wear silly socks, play with toys, and spoil the crap out of our dogs.

     Yes, I admit it.  I still manage to collect a few Bull Terrier items  from time to time.  Who can resist a sledding bully?  Yes, the tall one is a Pez dispenser,  I am a Pez addict from way back.

     I’ve been known to stick my tongue out at people. Frequently. I do skip on occasion.  I will color outside the lines.  I can still make a mean cushion and blanket fort, and whatever you do, do not turn off my cartoons.

     You all have a good one.
