Only the best!



I just finalized the reservations for my sweet fur babies to stay here:

when we go to FL to get married.

Take some time to look around the site- it's hilarious!

think I'll spend $25 so that they can take a limo ride to McDonald's?
or $50 for a Hyde Park steak?

Ahhhhh

Tidbit about JAR/JAM:
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the smell of Christmas trees.
My goal this year is to convince Bill to allow us to get a real (small) one in the condo.
When I was younger and I used to go with my father to get a tree, I would collect branches from the ground of the "farm" where we bought our tree, and place the branches all around my room. Specifically near my bed, so I could smell it while laying down.
Nothing has changed.
It is Christmas wreath time where I work so I convinced (told) the guys from outside to bring a wreath inside so I could inhale the smell all day while pretending to work.
Enjoy!
:)

A post and some pictures

So I managed to solve my typewriter issue yesterday...
find someone else to do the typing!!
score!



My back is slightly looser...go on, I know you know what to say here...

Bill got to go to the island yesterday to winterize our golf cart (love you LEIGC)...



and when he got home, he gave me a present!!!:



Talked with god for a while (my uncle, aren't I lucky?)
and we had a good laugh about our favorite Far Side Cartoon...
I'll post it here but I know it's hard to see.

Most fans of the Far Side are probably familiar with this one.
I get da nuts Squeezle, I get da nuts!!

Tonight- dinner at Lola's!!! My quandry, if you can call it that, is whether or not I should stick with my FAVORITE item there, the short ribs, or try to branch out and order something new.

Back into rage mode

1. I hurt my back. Now I waddle around like the 400lb gorilla I work with.
2. The afore-mentioned 400lb gorilla is not at work, AGAIN!. This means I get to do all of her grunt work- i.e. all of her TYPING on the TYPEWRITER!
Yes I am aware that it is 2008 and we (SHE) still uses a typewriter.
Well her normal typewriter broke- go figure!!- so INSTEAD OF SWITCHING OVER TO USE THE COMPUER 100%- the decision is made (obviously not by me) to go into the basement and get one of the OLDER typewriters to use.
My head hurts more than my back now because I just put my head through the window.

Here is a picture of my nightmare:



Say a prayer for me.

My hero...and other stuff...

Well it's time for Thanksgiving!!!
My "friends" have appeared and I was really excited to greet them!



For those that are NOT from Florida- this family is from Publix (supermarket) and they start showing up in commercials in October.
I love them.

And now onto my hero.
Some may know him as Bill...some may know him as Teets...to me, he is the GREAT FAN INSTALLER!!!
We now have a bedroom ceiling fan.
My nightly menopausal heat waves are over!!!
The great part, is that mid-fan installation, Bill ran into a bit of a problem.
Something to do with the bolts, whatever I don't know- he was getting really frustrated. The solution was to turn around and head back to Home Depot to get more parts. I felt bad for him when he left. He was not happy.
Scary Bill!
Anyhoo to my surprise he walked back in only about 5 minutes later with parts in hand...how you may ask?
My crafy husband decided to just check the condo utility room, (yeah the dopes here leave that shit OPEN and UNLOCKED- arghhh) and found the parts there!!
GENIUS!
Thanks Billy!
