A pinging good time!

One of my classmates just mentioned that she’s preparing for a move. She has all my sympathies. I went through that 2 years ago and I’m still not unpacked 😉 More work with a baby in tow. The move I made when my daughter’s were 5 years and 6 months old was the worst.

Ah, sweet relief (cool breeze blowing!)

It has been so horribly hot and humid for days that I have felt really unwell. Last summer I had working air conditioning and also had my computer upstairs where, thank the gods, the windows actually open and have screens on them. It may seem strange to many of you that I have lived here for two years and just a few days ago discovered that I actually only have one window I can open on my main floor. Of course I had to wait for the rain to stop to do that today because otherwise it would have rained in, ran into the electrical outlet on the floor under it and probably made my power go out, or worse, burned my house down.

I have no idea how you go about finding screens for an old house with those wooden frame storms, but I’m guessing I need to find or have built some frames. Ah geez, I think it might be so much easier to get the ac fixed, albeit much more expensive. Of course since I apparently need to buy a new furnace before winter I’ll probably get both if I somehow win the lottery or something. I purposely bought a house with a newer roof and furnace because I live on disability and knew I’d need to save up for them. My furnace quit three times last winter. Lame, very lame. The scoop was that whoever installed the furnace and ac did it all wrong and so they like got confused and ran at the same time, which made the furnace quit and the ac to overheat. So, I have the choice of spending maybe $1000 to unstick them from each other and maybe have a working piece of junk furnace, or spending the arm and a leg to get a whole new system. Then I could live in blessed splendor in the summer with all my stormed up windows left closed. Yes, that seems like the best plan.

Geo’s are making a comeback! After all these years I’m finally chic 😉 Too bad I can barely afford to drive it. I seriously dislike my little car but can’t gripe about the gas milage.

Cuz I hadn’t seen mama birdie for a day and a half and sure enough, there are two baby robins in the nest! She came back just as I got back indoors. They look pretty big already 😉

Sad day at the Kentucky Derby

Posted by Anita  Published in Musings

Kentucky Derby Preview

Eight Belles came in second. The only filly out there with 19 males. She showed her heart and then she fell. Two broken front ankles.

Man, that is the saddest thing.

Get your number!

Posted by Anita  Published in Musings

Count high has started. This guy is collecting numbers. Well, he gives you a number and then is collecting the artworks of your number, to be compiled into a movie. I got my number! I’m 190. Whoo hoo, should be a kick to see his final result.
