See ya later, sis! I get it Friday...I'll probably post pictures next week. (If it really happens, that is.)
It's a Lane cedar chest...very nice.
Thanks, Argh! I appreciate it.
Ywah... get something good. Byron or something. Not Emily Dickinson.
Not sure I'll be able to walk, I'm sort of congealing as I sit here.
All right...if I had some whiskey, I'd drink it right now. I don't care if it is before lunch!
I took to top of the pool off this morning to let the sun warm it. I weighted the top down with bricks. The top dried and I just now went to pick the bricks up to fold up the top.
Right on top of one of the bricks I picked up this morning was a Black Widow spider. Had it's web there and everything...been there a while.
I'm comin' to join ya, Elizabeth...
And your grandmother's wedding ring!
Ewww. I am not moving to Oklahoma any time soon.
That was in the safety deposit box. I won't be getting it back. Grandma didn't give it to me, anyways...my mom did. I guess she can take it back.
Really, that's all right. That one doesn't bother me. It was her mother's ring.
I like SOME Emily Dickinson. But...doing extensive calligraphy about sad and lonely death just isn't very conducive to cheering oneself up.
*shudder* *shudder* *shudder*
I dunno if they have those here. I was shocked enough when I found out they have rattlesnakes. There's one thing to be said for the long winters back home - we really don't have much in the way of poisonous wildlife!
*shudder*
I hate spiders!
On the bright side...got three references down, looks like. At least one more to go...but I don't HAVE to have any more than that.
You could copy out Shakespeare...
True...though it can be hard to find nice, short passages. Druther not do lonnnnnng monologues.
But his sonnets would do VEY nicely, if I could find a cheap little book of those. I don't own one, and I should.
When I was a Senior in high school, it was the custom for girls to get a Lane Cedar Chest as a 'Hope Chest'. I figured I didn't have any Hope of getting married any time soon, so I got a 12 string guitar instead! ;o) Still have it, but I haven't played it in YEARS!
I ended up with a two chests, though. SSQ made one for me, as a wedding present, from some redwood that was left over from a construction job that he had worked on with his Dad. Then, when my great Aunt Lizzie died at the ripe old age of 102, she left me an old fashioned cedar chest, an old treadle sewing machine stand, and one of the last quilts she had made, when she was 75!! I didn't really know her that well, so I was surprised she left so much to me. But my Daddy and I had gone out to visit her when she turned 100, so I guess my visit was fresh in her mind when she was dying. She must have left instructions with one of her nieces. She was old maiden aunt, so she never had kids of her own, just the hundreds of students she'd taught over the years in Richton, MS.
Did you get a reference from your Pastor back in VT? Those are always good to have; character reference and all that.
I'm going to call my former pastor later this afternoon - want to catch him at home. I could probably use the current pastor as well, but I feel like he hasn't known me long enough.
Could use both, I suppose!
Hopefully I can finish this form off tonight. That'll mean I can drop it off tomorrow...which will feel awfully good.
Hopefully I can get in touch with my godmother, too. She's kinda known me a long time. ;-) I wasn't baptized until I was five, since my parents converted at that point...but it's still a vey long time. Plus she was my kindergarten teacher.
But I'll have to try for her tonight.
We have "essential personnel" in any type of natural (or other) emergency. But I'm not on that list.
I actually volunteered to be on the first response team, but my previous supervisor said my job was "too important."
I just stared at him.
After all, not everybody can have a "scratch and sniff" resume.
I inherited my aunt's upright piano. It has been in the family home for decades and was in near excellent shape. When we got married, and while I was living out of town, my mom and brother sold it to a family friend for $50.
Granted we already had the Mrs' piano and couldn't put it in our apartment. But I was furious.
I heard that...
