Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Hehehe....I guess I should be grateful that my Overlord hasn't figured out how to wield a battle axe although her claws are sharp enough.
Mornin' (barely).
We been up straightening up around the house. Wife's older sister is coming today, supposedly just to take Luke out, but it gets complicated. And I'll leave it there.
Nana is coming home this afternoon. She'll be in the brace. But she won't require home health care. Then I guess next week they'll work on setting a date for the surgery.
We're going to see Harvey Korman and Tim Conway tonite. We can use the laughs.
;-)
So is the Conway thing her Valentines? Sounds great!
I just made the boys brunch...since they really just got up and around. I took my bread that I made the other day and cut it into sticks, basically made cinnamon french toast sticks out of it, then deep-fried it, sprinkled it with powdered sugar.
He he...I like to call it (to myself) "Kim's Deep-fried Craptacular". They LOVED it.
I think it would be a great dish for ShootMoot, don't you?
~sigh~
No, that was a Christmas present. But we chatted last night. With all that's going on, we both have lowered expectations for Valentine's Day.
Heh...Jr. is trying to figure out what to get his girlfriend, and commented that he didn't care what he got. I had the opportunity to 'splain to him that Valentines Day is a burden men carry to their grave.
I don't guess we'll do anything...maybe go eat at the Chinese place down the street. But the kids'll come with, since the only person that would watch them for free is Celeste and she's under the weather. It'd be less expensive to take them with us than to pay for a sitter!
Besides, we don't go out to eat often...I'd just soon they get to go too.
Oooh, bagpipes....
Yawn. Morning. Today is for homework. Hopefully I can get through it quickly and spend hours and hours watching anime. Hah. I wish.
I got two boxes. Coulda gotten more...shoulda. But I already had a few, and I mostly want to get rid of a lot!
Still, things are coming along.
I did forget (again) to pick up the classifieds paper so I can see what's available as far as car carriers go.
Though...if I do that, I worry about what I'll do with it on the other end. Do you have storage lockers or anything in your complex?
Yeah, I haven't claimed one but I can do that if it's necessary. Or we could just shove it in a corner. My house is not very neat right now.
You know, I used to really like Victory Garden...when they had the guy with the beard doing it...I don't know if you watch it, but the guy with the beard was all right.
They've replaced him with some pantywaist and I can't stand him. Any minute I expect him to come out dressed like Marilyn Monroe.
Nahh....don't watch Victory Garden.
I've got the sliding glass door all taped off and I'm fixing to apply the stain....Medium Walnut. Hope it's a close enough match with the floor.
Post pics if you can!
I'm just not sure how big those things are!
Good to know there IS storage if necessary.
Continuing to pack...this is exciting!!
At the worst we'll stick is out on the balcony. There ought to be room there.
Have fun packing! I've done the easy bits of the homework, now we're into rarified territory. I don't even know what this question means...
2 lbs dry Great Northern beans, soaked overnight... smoked ham hocks... couple onions... bulbuhgarlic... lotsuhblackpepper... couple tablespoons Worcestireshire sauce... couple ounces green tabasco and tabasco chipotle... a beer.... 4 cups chicken broth....
I liken it tuh a colonoscopy...
fortunately, I've been extremely successful at lowerin' mrsnad's expectations...
No digital camera!
Well the first stain is on. Think I'll stain the wall shelf while I've got the can open. Mmmmmm.....petroleum distillates...
But I bet it's more appreciated!
Yeah, but I don't gotta get one of them on an annual basis...
The stain comes close to matching the floor but it's not quite yellow enough.
I LIKE the Saturn Vue! You should be able to get a used one for not too much. They've been out for several years, so there should be a few on the road. And y'all don't have to worry about undercarriage rust like we do from all the salt on the roads in the wintertime. That's why we bought the newer used car this time around. We got a 2003 Chrysler Town and Country minivan with AWD, and I'm LOVIN it! I didn't have one bit of trouble driving in the snow this year, and I had to negotiate 4-5" on the road some mornings taking Joseph to school. It's been great on slushy hills, too, which was the acid test.
