Winter Images & Pictures - Photobucket


Winter is officially upon us here in Northwest PA, and although the conditions have not been as bad as usual, have caused enough traffic incidents that I have taken to staying indoors as much as possible. I have been fortunate to have taken vacation time that spanned from December 18th through the 26th, and again January 2,3,4, 12. 13, 14, and today.
But, unfortunately, this has caused me to already mess up on my New Years Resolution to spend more free time with my girlfriends, As of today, I have missed a dinner date, an after Christmas party, a baby shower, and a housewarming party. I have also missed going out twice for fish at a local bar.

Disappointment

If I had trusted my first instincts, I would not be in this position. It is for that reason that I am sitting here stewing over my poor judgement.

I try hard to give people the benefit of a doubt, but it always seems to turn around and bite me in the tuccas. Each time I tell myself I won't do it again, but at the first opportunity there I go again, playing the fool.

Wishing everyone the best!

HELLO AGAIN!

I realize it has been forever since I have posted, no excuses, just not much going on.
On the lighter side, I have heat and hot water, the taxes have been paid for another year, and repairs are coming along well, so far. The kitchen cabnets have nearly all received their first coat of primer and we are awaiting the return of our handy repair man to instll the ceiling and wall in the dining room and replace the panneled wall with fresh drywall.
I am still moving furnature in from the other house, but have lost interest in most of what is there.
Work is just about the same, not much new there either.
I am batteling this most recient flu that seems to be going around. But have not missed any work because of it.
When last we talked, Mo and Bily were coming up for their reunion, and it was so nice to have them and the girls (dogs) visiting. A good time was had by all.

Happy 4th!

Here is hoping everyone has a great Fourth. Celebrate and be safe!
The weather here is not too cooperative, but since I have to work, it does not matter. We will celebrate indoors and all will have a great time, regardless.

So far so UGH!

Just a few words to let everyone know I didn't fall off the face of the Earth. Today is the last of my days off for this month, and still the couple has not shown up, and I have way too much to do before the kids come home next month.
Today I want to bring down some books before they get ruined, some more of the dishes, the baking pans, the stereo and the printer.
The weather is getting hot and humid, and 2 of my girlfriends just lost their refrigeration because of the strain on the compressor. I just pray every night, because right now I cannot afford another bill.
Everyone should be able to retire at 62, because this old body really wants to just stay home, bake cookies, watch "True Blood", read and play with my dog. To say my get-up-and-go got up and went would be an understatement. But with so much to do, both at home and at work, I can't stop.
, I am still not dressed, so I have to get off this and get my a$$ in gear...talk to you all, later.

Just another day

Mo and Billy will be coming home for a class reunion in July, and I am so excited to see them. The problem is that the couple I gave my house to still have not got me moved in and they seem to disappear every time I get a day off. The agreement was they would move me in and do some minor repair work and yard work, and I would give the house to them for just the cost of the taxes. Luckily nothing has been put down on paper, since my printer is still at the other house.
Today I went up to assess the damage at the other house, being empty so long has taken its toll. Most of my wardrobe is ruined by mold, the furniture can somewhat be salvaged, but the mattress is ruined, and mice have invaded and chewed my baskets and linens to shreds.
My next and final days off are the 24th through the 27th, and I am determined to be moved in.
Mo has a green thumb and while she is here I intend to pick her brain to landscape what I can then I can start saving to get a new hot water tank and get the furnace installed before next Winter.
