Friday maybe? 2010*3*5

Welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home

Get on in here and get warm.. The sun may be shining and forever blue skies but it is not warm. Trust me, 40 degrees and the wind blowing over the long fetch of the holler does mean it is chilly out there! Woo Hoo… Can you say: Frostbitten tail assembly? Lolol

I told a whopper yesterday… About the emails… Well, part of it was right and part of it was incorrect. Part of my puter problems had to do with IM…Sometimes they come thru; sometimes not!

Guess who was back on the phone yesterday with Bryan, the puter guy. Oh yeah!

He/we dove into the frozen innards of puterwon. Removed tool bars…all the weather info…A bunch of stuff. Sheesh… I don’t know what all we took out. I had a Lexington News program installed. Had to take that out too. Let’s see here… I can get to everything on Eons including the Pmails. I can get Incredimail and emails…

And what happens when I expect to receive a little sympathy because of my problems? The Boss, Marv, LJ, Sherrianne, Hoppy and OzarkReader all give me a hard time! That’s ok tho. I will get even! ….even tho they make me giggle and feel better… Just remember tho I DO get even! Lolol Then there is a whole list of people who only take occasional pot shots at the meems… I love it. Be back in a bit. Gonna go play outside for a little while… 1236 hours

1342 hours… Sheesh, it is cold out there! I looked really cute again! Lolol My normal paint clothes, painted sweat shirt. Mocs… home made neck scarf wrapped around head and neck… my big straw sun hat. Lolol No gloves and still not warm enuf.

I get in the pick up and grab an old flowered sheet. Wrap up in that…Sheet helped! Lolol Wind still blowing… I am still freezing!

Some of my BBSBs went over… woohoo! I got flashed! That was worth a bit of frost bite! I heard several but the sky is a little too hazy and very dry. No contrails to be seen at all.

The following is not military but it is air traffic control broadcasting over the internet. It’s really neat to hear. I was listening to JFK in New York last nite. Live@atc.net Try it. There are 50 listed and you can take your choice… I just wish I knew the code name for Covington… I’ll find it eventually. I’d also like to get the Lex airport. The TC’s give the direction of (the compass) and the wind speed. Learn sumfin new every day.

I’m telling you ATC is as bad if not worse than being a dispatcher. The responsibilities are unbelievably heavy… and they do take a toll. I understand, kids…jobs well done!

Also, got an message email from MY BOOMER PLACE is closing down as a social sight. Going over to an older folks meeting/dating sight. I have several friends over there and I am going to miss them… You guys can contact me at emom101@prtcnet.org

Well ratz… I lost some of today’s news… I’m quitting while I’m ahead. Grumble mumble.

Take care all of mine… go in safety always. Remember to wear red shirts or yellow ribbons today.

Many hugs, much love and lots of lafter… meems

Thursday’s edition maybe? 2010*3*4

Welcome home all of mine, welcome home

OK, I’m gonna do some fussin’ here… IT IS SNOWING AGAIN>>>STILL>>YET!!!!

I forgot to tell you all that I cleaned the bedroom, doggy snuffled window while I was still in my SuzyHomeMaker mood.. Used paint scrapers…a blowtorch.. pure vinegar and LOTS of elbow grease! I think it was the blowtorch that did the trick!

Anyhow, I can finally see through the window glass… and what appears before my wandering eyes? No, not sunshine… I see the clouds hugging the trees and flakes of snow dancing around out there! Hmmm! Is this not the 3rd of March? Isn’t spring supposed to be just around the corner? Meems is gonna have to have a talk with the snow gods… Or storm god central or somebody! Sheesh, this has been a long winter!

When I see the snow, I pick up the phone and call Anna! We have decided to blame all the snow on El! I have threatened to pound him to a pulp with the garden rake (heavy duty) and a snow shovel. I don’t know that El finds this threat so funny but Anna and I get hysterical!

Then just after dark, Viva starts fussing and carrying on… Now what? The Newbie and the Spudley start barking here inside. I grab the .22 nine shot and out the side door I go. (One of these days, I will do that and find an invading army or sumfin)

Anyway, I’m heading down the ramp… I hear all kinds of stuff going on across the road. Viva is up the hill near the neighbor’s pond. The Newbie is going out to the road looking up the pond holler. Newbs is on his way to back up the Viva. Spudley is on alert at my side.

It was just a pack of coyotes up there on the hill top.. doing their own version of a sing-song… Ah yes… the call of the wilderness…After verifying the location of all my critters, I fired one round. Just the one.

One shot is all it takes for complete quiet to descend upon the mountain side…especially when the snow is falling. The softness and silence of the snow wraps itself around you almost like the arms of a lover. Oopsie! I am waxing poetic… I do love the snow!

Then among the other things going on, Incredimail was being weird.… Puterwon locked up… I did the control, alt, delete thingy one time. (which did not work correctly) I had about 15 lil green squares pop up/light up on the bottom of my screen… My Task Master was having a nervous fit!

Got that straightened out… reboot after removing all 15…The phone rings… A puter friend is checking on me…

Ok, so I explain what’s going on… While we were talking, an email arrived that had been sent by the caller. Lolol I cracked up. The email had been sent the day before…

My charming Marv emailed me to question my vanilla usage! I’m gonna beat him to death and enjoy every minute! Lolol Get it over and done with meems! Oh yeah! Do I get any sympathy from him re my puter problems… the slippery road… ? I don’t think so…

Here’s another thing… I went out to get the mail… got a whiff of skunk! Oh dear! I look around and spot something to the east of the house… Black with some white – elongated – and fuzzy…. OH DEAR!

Being the brave soul I am, I head over to check it out! Yup, upon arrival at the scene (being overly dramatic here) I discover the business end of a very large skunk! OH Dear! None of the six pack were involved with the skunk… thank goodness. Sometimes I feel like the general in Beetle Bailey… Look out the window/door…Now what?!? Lolol

Fed the birds while I was out there… Oh and while I was talking to Anna, she told me that she and El had seen/counted 54 deer in a five mile stretch. Plus a dead one by the road going into town. She said they had seen more deer but she gave up counting!

Guess that’s it for now… Take care and go in safety always. Remember to carry a paint scraper and a blowtorch with you when you travel… Might come in handy!

Many hugs, much love and loads of lafter your way… meems

Wednesday.. more or less… 2010*3*3

Welcome home, dear heart, welcome home.

Well kids… It’s been another one or two of those days… Sheesh! Yahoo is playing games… Both puters have decided to take my puter time into their hands. Did you know that puters have a life and a personality of their own? Yup, they DO!

At least tho, I can get back on line… upload pix and hopefully, get the News done! Have you all noticed that I appear to be grumpy…???

I guess it’s not all bad… I got the bills paid and out to the mail. Don’t know what happened. When I went out to see if there were any new deliveries, flag was still up. Payments were still in the box. Hmmmm….

I know the road is in bad shape…potholes by the dozens and still slick. Not one car went past the house. Oh well, Tim’ll get to me eventually.

Would you believe we had a snow storm here today? I mean a couple of complete white outs and a lot of wind with it…out of the ENE. Heavy duty clouds…Temp was above freezing so it didn’t stick on the grass… just on the Newbie and the Viva. Lolol Goofy dogs! (I can’t wait til they all start shedding! Lots of fun…I just told a BIG lie!)

Been playing SuzyHomeMaker too. I fixed a huge meat salad. Scrubbed the kitchen floor (again .. critters are tracking mud inside)…did two loads of laundry (the whites are a smidgeon whiter) I did the paint clothes first. Seemed to work better this time. Varnished The Boyfriend. And attempted to shovel a pathway thru the apartment! Need to rake the floor.

Which reminds me, I wonder if the Marv is still wearing the pinks socks from the red Christmas incident?… Gotcha Brat! Doesn’t everybody wear pink at least once in their lives? Lolol

I cut a panel down from 24 x 36 to 17? X 32?. Lolol I had to cut panel to fit an old frame. Gonna do a more abstracted version of the Boyfriend, I think. You know, I got the 17? The very first cut… The 36” side was sumfin else. Took me four or five cuts to get panel to the right size. Cut, carry down/up the hallway, attempt fit and back to cut another sliver away.

Finally…it fit the frame (I was using a saber saw, hand cutting)… I’ve gotten it primed and it is ready to go. Maybe tomorrow I’ll start the new painting…I still have a day or two’s work to do on Free Bird.

Another thing… I’ve finally managed to get the dried grasses together to make some mini-brooms. Maybe get those made tomorrow. I’m making a replacement for the Little Jake. If anybody else wants one, pm me… I will need names and addresses so that I can mail them out. No charge… Brooms are for mine… active or otherwise…

Brooms are reminder that things could always get worse… I could be your next door neighbor…Just ask the Marv… I threaten him all the time. Behave or I will move out there to CA… to make sure he gets up early… I bring my own pots, pans and large wooden spoons. Plus the six pack and the attack cat! Lolol Gotcha Brat!

And as far as the Boss Man goes, I just mention/threaten that I can be cloned! lololol Gotcha Boss… lolol

I think I am going to take up permanent residence in the fall out shelter… I love doing gotchas! Lolol

I may or may not be on line with puters screwed up. I think I have a little more work to do…

And does anybody know how to fix my ‘wall’ on my profile page? I can’t remove it nor replace it… it keeps trying to load but only flashes (no joke this time) Any help would be appreciated…

Take care all of mine. Go in safety always. Remember that frustration equals grumpy in my world… lolol Oh yeah!

Many hugs, much love and lots of lafter… the starting to smile meems

Monday edition (I think) 2010*3*1

Welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home

Double checking here but I think I am back! I ain’t sure of nuffin today.

Spent hours yesterday trying to get back on line. Poor Bryan… lolol He is a puter repair/tech who, at 20ish, already has his own successful business. He is very good to this lil ol’ lady. (and I can understand what he is asking) Gots to be nice to him whether I wanna be or not… He keeps me up and running.

Putertoo went down… got her fixed and then Puterwon went out! Sheesh! My brane was exhausted by the time we had everything back up so that I could get to the net. We had to reload Firefox from putertoo. God love him… he talked me thru every step… I was up late Saturday nite… and NO, I wasn’t partying! Grumble mumble, grouse!

Slept late but when I rolled out, I had to remove and reload a lot of stuff on both systems. Kept my fingers crossed the whole time I was doing all the downloads… Am I answering the right questions…yes! No? Maybe? Oh dear.

While I am fussing with downloads and stuff, I hear/feel one of my BBSBs go over. I ran to the window but the clouds were scraping the tree tops again. [I’ve often wondered if my flyguys can see me at the window. With all the electronics and the critters, this is the warmest room in the house.]

We had miles and miles of black ice. The side porch and ramp were covered and very very slippery! Then the drizzle started! Good grief!

Then I decided to use my candle/coffee warmer thingy here in the apartment. On, off, on, off… nothing…unplugged the white cord… the light went out! Wrong cord. Trace white cord to underside of puter table… AHA!

I crawl under table… move the critter bed [ a pillow, an old woven throw rug in one of those heavy duty bread trays] Sheesh! I am getting too old for this nonsense! Trust me I am!

Anyway, I crawl under the table… find the unplugged white and plug it back in. Trust me, this is the easy part! The getting down and under!

It’s the getting out from under…. Rolling over… getting my knees under me.. (knees yelp when I do this) and then pulling myself up! Roll the switch and lil lite comes on! I’m in business…

And then sometime this afternoon (Sunday) the door bell rings. I am not expecting company. I grab the .38 and head for the front door. I see no vehicles in the drive. Unlock the door…open!

I am expecting the possibility of Mr a being on the other side. I am also prepared to do battle if necessary. Well, ratz! It was Dorothy… Butch was being safe out by the mail box on the far side of their car! I cracked up!

Unlocked the storm door.. Dorothy hands me a sack and says Merry Christmas??? Remember my brane is still tired from the puter problems. I open bag after I put the gun up… looks like a bottle of water…What the heck?

Duh Paula! It’s a large bottle of Lamp Oil! Oh my gosh! I thanked her and gave her a hug… Yelled at Butch… gave him a hard time… lolol Wanted to pay her but she refused. Just said Merry Christmas again! Told her I found 71 emails from her on my windows live email. Lolol Would you believe it’s been a while since I checked Live?

Those two brats took off … running late to feed and water all their critters… Dorothy is bottle feeding one of them little baby goats. [Don’t tell them I said this, but I think they are super good people] They remembered that I was out of lamp oil. Fandamtastic! All I ever do is give them a hard time!

BTW Boss… tomorrow is gather the trash day! Lolol Just a reminder!

Then I got chewed out by the Marv. I didn’t call and let him know my systems were down. I think I managed to get a short message out about the problems but I won’t swear to anything for sure… not right now anyway! Lolol However, rotten kid, I WILL get even for all the gotcha’s! Don’t know how just yet but I will.

I am also pondering on the possibilities of getting even with my flyguys… Rattle my coffee mug, will you? Give ME a hard time, will you? This nice sweet natured kind hearted loving huggy warm type lil old lady? Get even? Oh yeah! [would these lovely innocent looking green eyes lie to you?] You just betcha! My excuse? I worked with men WAY too long! Lololol

Can’t think of anything else at the moment. Take care all of mine. Go in safety always.. Remember when all else fails, have a mug of hot cider… lolol

Many hugs, much love and lots of lafter [in between the fussing!] meems

Thursday edition…2010*2*25
Welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home
Notice: this edition is being sent from the Fall Out Shelter… For my own safety! I did a BIG GOTCHA on the Boss man! His reply? “I don’t get mad, I get even!” Oh dear, I now have Cher and Annie in here with me. Starting to get a little crowded… lolol
***************************************************************Then I find the following from the Marv! Sheesh! Lolol
marvinll commented on your blog post
"I do believe that emom is under surveillance, they are looking for signs of human intelligence down on Earth.
Don't worry emom, you're safe.
Gotcha!"

Today, I get a clip from the Marv of a building being imploded…I have no idea what that means.

See what I must put up with? Me, the nice lil ol’ lady, right?!? Crackin’ up here.

However, I am comfy here in the ‘shelter’… fire is going in the imaginary fireplace. The critters are cozy and warm. Spudley is guarding my moccasin covered feetsies and all is right with my world.

Spudley and the Attack Cat are arguing over who has the rights to the nape of my neck. It’s a bear being popular! Lololol

And then to top off everything, I was on the phone with Anna. She is SUCH a bad influence on me! Lolol Somehow, we got on the subject of El and the pregnant nanny goat. ( Nanny, the goat who loved lemon cookies.)

Back up here. At the time this fiasco occurred, Becky’s oldest daughter was very near her delivery due date. El, the area goat expert, stated that baby goat would be born at or before the same time.

Well, Becky and I started teasing back and forth about which baby would appear first… Becky, of course, chose her grandchild as being the first… Naturally, I took the baby goat… (I was relying on El’s expertise, right?)

Then Becky and I bet a lunch on the outcome. Grandbaby arrived first… a month or so later, baby goat arrives. lolol

Next time, if there is one… I’ll ask the Nanny! Gotcha El! Lolol

Well kids, it’s snowing out there again. Snow piled up and is now melting. It is below freezing now but the ground is still warm from the sunny days. Meems is sleepy! Nap time? Lolol

Later all. Take care all of mine… go in safety always. Remember to ask the Nanny goat and not the man! Lolol

Many hugs, much love and lots of lafter. meems

Monday edition 2010*2*22

WELCOME HOME, DEAR HEARTS, WELCOME HOME!

OK Brats! Before I do anything else, I gots to get even with my BBSBs! I just can’t think of anything right at the moment!

You know what they did to me today? Them is brats up there playing … Beautiful warm sunny day…68 degrees, right? Turned the heat down. Had the back door open for the 4 leggedy critters.

I went back out in the afternoon. Was just tooooo purty to stay inside. Now, y’all know that I wave and curtsy and send hugs and kisses and all that junk to my flyguys, right? Right!

First of all, let me remind you that I am one, nice, elderly, ladylike, thoughtful, kindhearted (I think I am gonna be sick) little old lady. ONE… Chubby buns and all, just one of me… One set of arms… the normal numbers of everything. I am NOT digressing! (bite your collective tongues, brats!)

Them rotten kids [more than two of] flew over … going all different directions at the same time! If you think about it… it is impossible to see all directions, wave to, hug and kiss in a gazillion directions and altitudes at the same time! I tried tho… I tried!

The worst part of my gyrations was a huge case of the giggles.. I laffed til I couldn’t breathe! My arms gave out! I am busy cracking up and them BBSBs are flashing me! I throw a kiss and I get flashed… lololol Throw another kiss and get flashed again! See! Told ya I was the eastern KY mountain sex symbol.

On the serious side for a moment, Mr. A drove past the house while I was outside. I came back in and got the pistol. Ratz! That’s ok tho… I at least know he’s in the area.

What else? Well, I went to get the neat looking blue bird feeder. Down a slippery slope but I got it.. went to the truck and put in a couple of scoops of feed. Then started to the ramp to the side porch. I have a thingy there I could use to hang the feeder. In the mean time, I turn the feeder right side up. All the seed runs out the bottom! There I stand, watching this waterfall of seed landing at my feet! Well, another ratz!

I need to buy a different type feeder.

The next time I see Tim, the mail man, I will let him know he is a ‘ladies’ man! He ought to enjoy the info! I have a mail story for y’all…

Many a moon ago, I had a brand new hard top Jeep! Post Office blue, right? White top. [this is when I lived up north] The jeepster looked just like the post office delivery fleet vehicles! (You know where this is going, don’t you?)
You also know that I can resist anything but temptation? Oh dear… I made a px to the Post Master in the city of Hamilton to ask a question… Oh yeah! I really did!

My question: how much trouble would I get into if I had ‘U.S. Male?’ painted on the jeep doors? Would you believe the PM had no sense of humor?!? Truth! He was not happy with the emom at all! Oh well, it was just a thot! Lololol

Another thing about jeeps.. If you put them in 4 wheel drive … drive the moguls on the river bottoms, be sure to close the ash tray! Trust me, I was REALLY cute after that first try out! Ashes and ciggy butts flying thru the air! Oopsie! Lololol

More stories tomorrow!

Take care all of mine… go in safety always. Remember to torment your friends at every opportunity. Keeps everybody on their toes…

Many hugs, much love and lots of lafter your way. The loves a sunny day, meems

PS…. I got sunburned! Oh dear…

Sunday edition 2010*2*21

Welcome home all of mine, welcome home!

Get out here on the porch and set a spell. Or we can all go out by the pond and set in the sun! Oh, it is a magnificent sunny day… Light breeze and the temp is up to 70&deg already! Wooo Hoo…

I’ve already laffed so hard this morning. I saw a contrail as I let the critters out this morning. I come back in…make a pot of coffee and warm up the last of what had been in the pot.

While the nukemachine was doing its thing, I scampered back to the apartment to dress up in my ‘Granny Grunge’ best. Lolol Grabbed my reheated mug and out the door I went. Put the chair upright and plopped myself down! (Can you believe I was out there for 2 ½ hours?) Oh yeah!

[Before I forget again… When the chair is face down, it means I am staying inside for a while. This info is for my flyguys…If it is in the proper stance, it means I will be right back]

‘Chair’ reminds me that I need to go out front to rescue my old rocking chair. The high winds last week knocked the poor thing off the front porch.

Back to them BBSBs. Saw bunches of them this morning… I got flashed and buzzed and and and… I waved and laffed…and giggled… Gots to watch them guys! Believe it or not, they can sneak up on a person. Lolol

On a day like today [very dry air upstairs] , IF you hear the sound, the BBSB might already be overhead. I constantly scan the sky when I am out there… Just so I don’t miss anybody.

Back up a minute… When I say ‘constantly’ I mean in between the critters trying to crawl up on my lap, or trying to take a sip of coffee. Spudley is jealous of my flyguys! Then Pyggs wants on my lap or the Newbie wants his ears rubbed… or sumfin! Lolol

Another thing, my arms get tired when I am waving a lot. So, kids, don’t feel bad if I stop waving right in the middle of your crossover. Just catching my breath.

Let’s see here, what else? Oh I have to tell you about the trip to the grocery store. Grasscutter came out and took me to the store in Lee County… lolol

Would you believe the store manager, Chris, reads the News? Well, he does! I gave him a hug when I went into the store. He was busy up front. Off I went to look for stuff…GC pushing the basket!

Got to the far end of the veggie section and here comes Chris! Chris wanted an explanation of BBSB… and a few other things he’s read in the News. I got so tickled! Lolol I told him he was in real trouble! Lolol

This is the same guy I offered to help when one of the store freezers was malfunctioning. I rec’d a ‘no thank you’. You sure? “do you think I’m going to let you near the freezer when you can’t handle a coffee maker?!?’ I cracked up! Another funny thing about this one is that nobody else in the store knew what he was talking about! Lololol   Gotcha Chris! Lolol [I’ll try to get a pic and an ok from him] Like I said.. the guy is in real trouble.

Oh I need to tell you that he read my report on my demise… Told me my color was good considering everything! He gotme! Lolol

Chris is really a good guy! He is running for magistrate in Lee County, district 4… Sort of like a county commissioner in other states.

Told him to check in the cemetery files, if he found a Paula Rice over there, I would vote for him…

Then while I was in the store, a strange guy was following me very closely! Some times I would go back to the previous aisle for an item. Three or four aisles, this guy was there. Fiddling with the canned goods or straightening an item but watching.

I started to get angry! I’ve seen this behavior before. [My opinion: A cop/security guard in plain clothes.] And then, the whole situation struck me funny! I was dressed in my winter Woods Camos… I should have been invisible to him. Lolol

More of my kids going overhead… Fandamtastic! And more tales later… Take care all of mine…Go in safety always. Remember, even small things can be fun!

Many hugs, much love and lots of lafter. The bubbling over meems

WOOOO HOOOOO!

Friday edition-2010*2*19 Welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home!

Man, oh man! What a magnificent day! Come… sit in the sun with me… Just came in long enuf to issue the invite! There is SUNLIGHT coming thru the windows of the apartment! Can you believe it? Real sunlight! Coffee is hot.. and then there is the hot cider. Wowser!

Been out there playing with the 6 pack and the Fan club! My flyguys went over…. Clear blue sky. Them BBSBs soaring overhead. Oh my gosh! Fandamtastic day!

The snow is melting rapidly and it got up to 50 today! 50 degrees! Sun out… wind was a little chilly tho.

I was dressed in my Granny Grunge (thank you, Bobbi) outfit… only this time I had a zipperless city camo vest on over the paint clothes. I’m telling you I am really cute when I go out to sit a spell! Lolol Yes, I got flashed by them BBSB’s… and NO I didn’t flash back… way to chilly to show my ankle! (You thot I was gonna say sumfin else, Dintcha?!?! Lololol)

Miss SnowPlow of 2010 (read unmade bed Lilyputz) was out there rooting in the snow. The Newbie was sprawled next to my chair. Spudley was trying to climb on my lap. Viva and the Wrecking Crew were digging in the soft dirt… looking for sumfin. Moles maybe? LOLOL Who knows? Them critters live in their own worlds.

Well, back to the Granny Grunge… I got caught by Tim, the mail man! Wanted to know what I was doing standing on the far side of the road. Lolol Nothing I do seems to surprise him either! I was attempting to take pix of the lower curve. All that stands out on that pic is the road way to the neighbor’s barn. If you look closely at the pic, you will see the light colored vehicle coming up from the lower curve.
or view link or view link

This is a pic of my mail man, Tim. He seems to think I am ok. Boy, do I have him fooled. Lolol He is a delightful young man… and I do love to torment him!

Have I mentioned the Marv lately? Oh dear… He is pestering me no end.. Going on about this and that! Trying to keep me on the straight and narrow! I’ll ‘straight and narrow’ him! He should talk! Gotcha Brat! Lolol

Then there is the BossMan! Sheesh! It must be ‘pick on meems’ weather. Did y’all know he has a ‘pizza carry out’? LOLOLOL But he doesn’t deliver in the snow? Gotcha Boss… lolol One for me!

Let’s see here… what else? Been doing a lot of wild paint brushing… Have 3 going right now… a bird un-named… The Hoskins Homestead… and Free Bird…Think I need to add one thing to the Yellow House… Sometimes I have to look at a painting for several days before the brain decides it is finished with the work.

Oh yeah… I checked prices on aluminum frames yesterday… Sheesh… It’s been a while since I’ve priced them. Like two or three years or more. Prices have more than tripled. I think I have been out of the ‘loop’ way too long! (Bite your tongue, Boss! Shut up, Marv!)

I’m outa here for a while… more wild paint brushing to do. Take care all of mine. Go in safety always. Remember to get out of the house more often..look up and see the sky.

Many hugs, much love and lots of lafter. The sun wild meems

What is today? Oh! It’s Tuesday!
Tuesday edition 2010*2*16

All right! Everybody get in here and warm up… Sheesh!

Oh boy! I just received a call from my oldest! Talk about your basic heart attack situation! Oh DEAR!!!! She has received numerous condolences resulting from the news of my recent demise. (Last nite) These messages are still coming into Twitter. Bobbi called me right away.

I know this isn’t funny in one way but in another, it is! She was sooo relieved to hear me answer the phone. (You’re alive. Yeah!) She tells me why she is calling. I look around the apartment…As far as I can tell, nothing has changed at my end… lolol

Six pack scattered all over the apartment and cover diving on the bed. Check
Storm gods still scattering litter? Check
Snow still falling? Check
Wind still blowing? Check
Took my pills? Check
Coffee? Check
Granny Grunge outfit (thank you, Bobbi) Check
Removed fingers from ears? (Newbie started a sing song) Check
Realize you cannot type with fingers in ears! Check
Attack cat trying to con me out of my tater chips? Check!

Shall I continue? Lolol I have a very long list! Especially on the Granny Grunge outfits! I was really cute yesterday when I went out to feed the wild critters… lolol

Naturally, I got caught outside in my bundled up condition. I never in this world thot any one would be on the road yesterday. Not only did one neighbor catch me, I got caught by two of them! LOLOL I discovered the one is one of mine from the Nam era! Awww… I patted him on the arm…

Would you believe that he was checking on me to see if I was/am ok? Was I warm enuf? Food? Electric? I almost cried… I have some really good neighbors around here.

Back to still being alive… Yup, I’ve decided I am but it’s a little hard for me to judge. I am happy and content here. This is as close to heaven as I am gonna get here on this earth. I have been so blessed.

I found the Body Butters! Oh yeah! Would you believe they were sitting on the bottom shelf of the bathroom closet? (Not in the basement, Sherri… gotcha back!) I cracked up. How did I miss the closet the first time around…? See, a little logic helps!

Then there is the Marv! Complaining to me and discussing color usage. I must remember to ask if he wears those amber colored sunglasses out there in Calif. Colored lenses will color your view of the world.

Which reminded me of a conversation with a good friend. This friend of mine who, when driving thru a new neighborhood, commented that all the houses were painted yellow. Remove hunter’s sunglasses, ding ding! LOLOL

Well, both these convo’s sparked an idea for a totally abstract painting in yellows… Title: The Yellow House, of course…! I laffed and giggled the whole time I was working on it.

It occurs to me that I really know some very strange people… lolol I love all of you anyway!

Guess that’s it for today… Gots to go swing a hot paintbrush again!

Take care all of mine… Go in safety always. Remember that the bad days make the good days so much better.

Many hugs, much love and loads of lafter. The mildly demented meems
