Watch out folks, I'm in a mood!

I just told the Captain that he couldn't use the fingerprinting materials kit.  Total silence on the other end of the line.  Then I hear, "wait a minute here, I'm the Captain!"   I love it when I catch people off guard!  Just teasing Brian! Geez!
 
It's a lovely cloudy Wednesday here in the city and all is going well in my world.   We're rolling through the work week at stellar speed and my piles - no, make that MOUNTAINS - of work are on the steady decline.  Yes!!   Love it when that happens!    I'm thinking I should be somewhat "caught up" by the time 4:30 hits on Friday - just in time for a gorgeous weekend.    However, I have learned in my 40+ years not to celebrate too much in advance because Someone always wants Something YESTERDAY! ~shakes head!~  Peoples....I've told you thousands of times, "lack of planning on YOUR part does NOT make an emergency on my Part!" 
 
I'm especially happy today because I get to spend time with ALL of my sisters!  I haven't seen Pat or Judy since before Christmas!  How SAD is that - we live 30 miles apart!!  The weather this winter wasn't real conducive to getting together so we settled for the occasional phone call here or there.  My sister Peg and I were discussing this situation on our way back from the cities last week and I rectified it right then and there by utilizing the cell-phone and making the call to get the ball rolling. 
 
By the grace of all that is good, we actually settled on a date in record time.  Normally there is much phone calling being done trying to coordinate schedules (I'm sure you've all been there!), but not this time.   Peggy has graciously offered to have it at her house, so we can "cackle as much as we want and not have to worry about being so loud."  
 
 Cackle???  Schulz sisters cackle??!!!   Surely not!!!   I can see a little laughter and lots of giggles, but to cackle as in a brood of hens?  No way!    However, my husband informs me that he'll probably be able to hear us all the way out at the farm and then kindly retells the story of the "picture hanging" event at our house.      See, my sisters came out to my house to hang pictures.  The deal was that I provide food, the provide the drink.   We ate, we drank, then figured we should hang pictures, which we did. 
 
  T came home and found us all to be happy campers, and every picture on the wall hung crooked!    Judy would pound the nail, one of us would hang the picture, then all of us would stand back and make sure it was straight.   They looked fine to us!    T said, "of course they look find to you, you're all tanked!"  ~snorts~   Well, ok, so he might have had a point on the pictures, but I still don't think we cackle!! ~LOL~
 
I'm really looking forward to spending time with my sisters tonight!!

Welcome to the Shit Show!

 I'm trying not to breaking one of my hard and fast rules - do not  talk politics or religion .  But for the love of all things holy, I cannot not   comment on the total shit show of last nights presidential debate.     America, we're screwed!     I want the chance to write in a candidate.  I think anyone would be a better option than the two we have right now.  UGGGHHHH!   I'm soooooo tired of the bickering . right vs. left.  I'm tired of the media, I'm tired of black lives matter (ALL LIVES MATTER, shit heads!), cop kiilings, riots and the disrespect and downright hatred  of the flag, of our Country!   I'm scared for everyone concerned.  I feel  the anger, the despair, the lack of consideration and respect - not only for the country -but for humanity .   I heard Savanna Guthrie , NBC Today Show, say that Social Media was the cesspool of society."   I couldn't have said it bet...

Merry Christmas!

For Christmas 2022, I had promised Blaine that I would take him to Million (aka Michael) and get his UJ (University of Jamestown) tattoo recolored.  Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate and I couldn't fulfill my promise to him. Christmas 2023 I was  subtly  reminded that I owed him his gift from last year!  He forgets  to brush his teeth or clean his apartment but gosh darn he sure remembers if it's something he wants!  Michael was all about making it look like new again and hooked us up with an appointment yesterday.   What a day!!! We started out with coffee and egg McMuffins and plenty of conversation as we rolled down the interstate! I think his mouth was going faster than we were traveling! We covered so man y topics! We laughed a lot but cried a bit too as we remembered the farm and grandpa and grandma. After the tattoo, we went ro Scheels for a few more Christmas gifts.. a swim bag for his Special Olympics swimming gea...

A Repeat...

Once in a while I receive a request to "repeat" a blog post. This is one of the repeat posts that I hope you all enjoy the 2nd time around. It was originally posted in May of 2008. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Greetings Everyone, I received an email about 9 years ago from a far-away-friend that touched me to the core. It was entitled "Life's Lessons." I printed it out and tucked it away to read when I needed some inspiration. I ran across it awhile ago and, not surprisingly, it touched me as much now as it did then. So, to my friend Lee - wherever you may be, thank you for sending me something so beautiful and for thinking of me. Be well My friend. Life's Lessons Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be; your ...
