| And what did my wondering eyes see this week? |
Now things that are trivial and inconsequential, that I can do. But worthwhile, not this week. This week consisted of...
Chasing down my garbage can as the wind blew it away while watching a TV show...during the exact same scene. Three times. After rewinding three times, I finally heard the single line I'd been waiting to hear. By then it was anticlimactic.
I'm in my 40s and discovered it's still possible to get a pimple. Really? How is that fair?
Cut myself in the kitchen with my cool new knife, cut myself in the kitchen with my cool new knife, and then cut myself in the kitchen with my cool new knife.
Worked out, then immediately went grocery shopping while looking and smelling like a vagrant.
Passed up buying a piece of carrot cake because I was assured there would be homemade carrot cake at an office potluck. There wasn't.
Was quizzed by my doctor about the ins and outs of long distance Skyping with my boyfriend, how exactly we cook "together", when we met, what our moms thought when we Skyped with them, and more. An hour and a half later, I finally left to go to work. Oh yeah, and we also talked about my health.
Last night I accidentally made a chef salad big enough for eight, and I was alone. I ate enough for two.
This morning I woke up and realized I had all the ingredients to make a breakfast casserole I was craving. Woohoo, because I never have all the ingredients!
But other than that, I've got...nothing.
Interesting post...not sure what to think. I am curious about the Dr. visit.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Ive got nothing this week also.
ReplyDeleteSo much Tragedy and pain happening world-wide, wars, earthquakes, death,and pain.
But then there's Faith.
Always Thankful for the Faith!
Love you girl!
Michele
Finally you have admitted he is your boyfriend!!! Love you dear daughter:)
ReplyDelete@Amanda: @Christy wasn't sure what to think either. LOL! We just both had kinda, well, dull weeks. The doctor visit was kinda funny though. Some assistant forgot to tell @Christy that she had to fast before her appointment, so there was a bunch of stuff they couldn't do. But the doctor still kept her there, peppering her with questions about US! LOL! Chicks...;-)
ReplyDelete@Michele: Hey, girl! Good to see you. A friend forwarded me an email titled simply "Japan". I still haven't looked at it because it's a bunch of before and after photos of the devastation. I don't stick my head in the sand when bad stuff happens, but I hate gawking at it. Just breaks my heart.
@Amanda, like @Steven said, it was a boring week. The Dr. visit, well, she was very funny because she was really interested in the whole Skype/long distance thing and spent A LOT of time asking about it and @Steven, much more than she spent asking about health type stuff. Oh, and it was just a routine visit.
ReplyDelete@Michele, yay! You commented! You've made me so happy, and I love you too! :-) There has been a lot of tragedy recently, so maybe that's why I just had nothing that seemed very worthwhile to say. But you're right, there's faith!
@Mom, I love you too! See you Saturday...after my hair appointment. :-)
@Steven, you forgot the part about how everyone kept asking me if I had fasted, and I kept having to tell them over and over no because no one told me. LOL! It was kind of a funny visit.
I also don't blame you for not wanting to look at the photos. It's heartbreaking.
Very nice post. I know the feeling :)

@Christy I still can't believe you are in your 40's! You look much younger! Lucky girl.
ReplyDeleteThe carrot cake was funny. I hate that when I'm expecting something and then there isn't any. :-(
@Christy just curious. Have you been even been near a vagrant?
ReplyDeleteYour comment seemed insensitive to me.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous, yes, I have been near many a vagrant. In fact, I've had several sit down, talk to them, hear their story, share mine, meals with them. My comment may have seemed a bit insensitive, but I meant no harm, and simply wasn't thinking.
ReplyDeleteDuring the course of my adult life, I've had the unique chance to talk one-on-one with people others would cross the street to avoid, and their stories are more varied than anyone can imagine.
I've seen the good and the bad because I worked in a situation that allowed me to interact with them weekly. I met a man who carved walking sticks that were so beautiful people would have gladly paid hundreds of dollars for them. I met a man who was once a lawyer, but had mental health issues that affected him, but he spent his days in the library helping other homeless people with legal issues. I met a family who found themselves suddenly living in their car because of circumstances they never expected, and saw the shame in their faces. I listened to a woman for almost an hour as she told me her story, then she gave me the biggest hug, and thanked me for listening because she said no one ever does.
So yes, @Anonymous, I have been near a vagrant and many homeless. My biggest prayer in life is that I never find myself in that situation. Again, I apologize if my comment was insensitive, it wasn't meant to be so.
@Sarah Allen, thanks! :-)
ReplyDelete@Tammy, good to see you, and thank you! :-)
@Christy I think that would make a good post instead of just a comment. I'd like to hear more. :-)
ReplyDelete@Tammy: Heeeey-yah! Missed you, woman!
ReplyDelete@Christy: Yup, I forgot that everyone kept harping about the fasting thing. :-( LOL!
@Anonymous: It's funny. The vagrant comment that @Christy posted didn't even faze me because they're real people to me, so they're as much fair game for ridicule as the rest of us. Also, I think you may be confusing vagrancy with homelessness. They're not the same. Author Lee Child's hero Jack Reacher is a vagrant. Vagrancy is a choice, homelessness usually isn't. I've hung out with plenty of homeless folk, but I don't think I've ever met a vagrant.
@Steven, you're right. There is a difference. I've met many vagrants as well as homeless. My mom can also relate. She's met both as well because of where she works.
ReplyDeleteIn my previous post with examples of people I've met, all except the family were vagrants. They chose to live the life they were living, and they didn't want to change it. They were open about the fact that this was their life and they didn't want anyone's help getting them into a "better" situation. They considered what they had to be good enough. They just wanted help with food and finding shelter when the weather was extreme (and it had to be very extreme before they would go to a shelter).
The family, on the other hand, was homeless and looking for a way to get back to the life they had before.
I should read my post before clicking the button. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe vagrants I've known are also always looking for a way to travel on to another town. They may be back in mine eventually, but they were always looking for a bus ticket out. They travel.
@Christy: The people you mentioned sound like gypsies. 'Course, I don't know any more about them than I do about vagrants.
ReplyDeleteI think @Tree Top solved the quandary of what your next post could be. This would make a really good topic, especially given your experience with vagrants (gypsies! lol) and the homeless.
@Steven, oh no! Gypsies are a whole different category. Trust me. We have them in Spokane. I'm not even going there. If Mom is checking these comments, I'm sure she will agree. :-)
ReplyDeleteBelieve me!
I'd like to know the difference between homeless, vagrants, and gypsies. Are they really that different? Forgive me but I live in a small town where we have different categories. Probably the same people though. LOL! :-)
ReplyDelete@Curious: You said "Probably the same people." LMAO! Too true. ;-) And I'm with you because...
ReplyDelete@Christy: ...I don't know the difference between gypsies and nomadic vagrants. Who knew there were so many categories!
@All...interesting back and forth comments. I have been very busy at work so I am just reading the comments for now.
ReplyDelete@Amanda, glad you could make it. :-)
ReplyDelete@Tree Top, @Curious, and @Steven, I think you're right. It is a blog post all its own, but I'm afraid I'd be so wordy, no one would read it. But I'll add it to my list of possible future posts. :-)
@Christy I have a few questions.
ReplyDelete1. Why was your garbage can watching TV?
2. Who told you life was fair? They lied.
3. Does @Steven know you're a slow learner with sharp knives, does @Steven know you're a slow learner with sharp knives, and finally does @Steven know you're a slow learner with sharp knives? Maybe he should do the cutting.
4. Did anyone give you money as you were walking into the store? If so, score! Going as a vagrant paid off!
5. Was this someone who actually likes you, or were they just messing with your mind and stomach?
6. How in the world did you get an hour and half appointment with a doctor? I can't get 5 minutes!
7. How exactly does one "accidentally" make a salad big enough for eight? And an even better question is, why? Now an apple pie big enough for a football team, I could understand.
8. Do you never have all the ingredients because you've been banned from the grocery store for being too smelly and looking too bad (see #4)?
You know I think you're great, little darling! :-) Nice post when you really had nothing to say.
@Hooka: Can I tell you how many time we proofread this thing before we posted it, and still missed the trash TV thing?
ReplyDeleteIf @Christy and I ever co-habitate, we're getting a Cuisinart.
@Hooka, it's amazing how one small missing word can change the meaning of a sentence. Yep, @Steven and I read that thing many times before I pressed that terrifying little "Post" button. Thanks for pointing it out to everyone. LOL!
ReplyDeleteSadly, no money was given to me in front of the store, but I swear I did get a few odd looks. And about not normally having the ingredients because my store banned me, I can assure you I rarely go out in public without makeup and looking decent. I'm a Texas woman all the way. Where I grew up, we were raised to look our best when out, so this one was an anomaly.
@Steven, LMAO!!! I think you're right. We'll be much safer with the Cuisinart. The Santoku knives are not my friends. ;-)
@Christy: "Cuisinart"'s also a heckuva lot easier to remember than "Santoku". And I wouldn't have given you money either. But I'd have offered you food and bus token. ;-P
ReplyDelete@Steven, LOL! You're right! I actually had to look it up before typing it. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWould you have gone into to the store to let me pick my own food? I would have taken the bus token. We have a park and ride just down the street from my condo that goes to the mall. :-)
@Christy you are most welcome for me pointing out your glaring error in your post. I'm sure everyone noticed. Actually, it gave me a good laugh when I needed it, so thanks to you both for missing it!
ReplyDelete@Steven I'm wondering about your editing and proofing abilities now. Reconsidering my offer to hire you when I hit it big.
@Both regarding the Cuisinart and cohabitating, I highly recommend both! One for your safety and the other for your sanity. Don't know where I'd be without my Pooka. :-)
@Hooka..your questions are too funny. I tell my kids all the time life's not fair get over it.
ReplyDelete@Christy, yes how did you get a long appointment with your Dr., we do want to know! I barely get 10 minutes and then get charged $200 for the visit (OK so the insurance picks up most of it) but still....
@Steven & @Christing...cohabitating?? Is there something you want to tell the blog world? When is your vacation again...LOL
@Amanda and Blog World, nope, nothing to tell. It was just part of the Cuisinart joke. So Mom, don't read anything into that! LOL! Steven is moving up here eventually, but he will be in a separate household, and different city (just a whole lot closer to me). :-)
ReplyDeleteAs for the appointment with my doctor, I was the first of the day, and I'm apparently the person who threw everyone else off schedule the rest of the day. Sorry everyone! My doc is a little quirky and actually allows for 40 minute visits so there is time to cover everything and ask questions. It's great!
@Christy and @Steven, I saw the "ever" and got it. :-)
ReplyDelete@Tina yep and the "if" was a clue too. :-) You never know what will happen. Nature and time need to run their course and not be rushed so that everything is right, if it's right. Of course @Christy and @Steven know we all secretly hope it's right. (whispering under breath, please let it be right, please let it be right, please let it be right) We want happiness for you both. :-)
ReplyDelete@Hooka LMAO! Great list of questions!
@Christy..this is going to sound like a stupid question but why would @Steven not move to the same city as you?
ReplyDelete@Amanda, it's not a stupid question at all. He has family in the city he's moving to and had planned to move there before we reconnected, so it makes sense for him to be near his family; however, he will be close enough for us to date.
ReplyDelete@Christy not to be all mushy and everything, but I'm hoping it works out for you and @Steven too. Sending good vibes your way, and here is my wish that someday the "if" and "ever" words in that sentence change to "when".
ReplyDeleteOnly instead of the co-habitating, I've got my fingers crossed for marriage for you two. :-)
Love this post! It's a great "day in the life" kind of thing, and what you chose to list was cute! You made me smile! :-)
ReplyDeleteOMG! I just read @Hooka Looka's list! LMAO! Great response!
ReplyDelete@Steven I would suggest the Cuisinart as well. Much safer. LOL!
Thanks, @Eriqua. :-)
ReplyDelete@Jenny, thanks! I'm really glad you liked it, and that it made you smile. That's my life for you. :-)
So funny @Christy! I was thinking about your post today and wondering how in the heck you managed to get such a long doctor's appointment too! LOL! I went to see mine the other day and could hardly tell him what was ailing me before he was standing up and had his hand on the door. Lucky girl! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't know @Tree Top. She made me late for work. LOL! But you're right. It is nice that she allows time for her patients.
ReplyDelete@Jenny: I'm suddenly reminded of that scene in "Ghost" where they're at the potter's wheel, fingers entwined, his head over her shoulder. And I'm picturing @Christy and I in the kitchen, the Righteous Brothers on the CD player, the Cuisinart chopping and dicing, our fingers entwined on the 'chop' button, my head over her shoulder, our eyes watering from onions. I get all giddy! Sigh. LOL!
ReplyDelete@Christy I know you said, or indicated you cut yourself three times with your new Santoku knife. Other than that little flaw, do you like it? I've seen them used on several cooking shows and wondered.
ReplyDelete@Steven LMAO! That was an awesome post!
ReplyDelete@Jenny, um, yeah. Other than the whole cutting my digits off thing, it's a great knife!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, best knife I've ever owned. I have two, one 7" and one 5". I highly recommend getting at least one. Just be very careful. Of course I'm also a person who managed to cut herself with a butter knife and required 5 stitches, so...
@Steven, I have no words, baby! LOL!
ReplyDelete@Christy I'll be very, very careful. LOL! Suggestions on brand?
ReplyDelete@Jenny, I bought Paula Dean at Walmart because my mom suggested them, they came as a set of two, and they were only $16; however, @Steven says not all Walmarts carry them (his didn't). He bought a different brand and it's just as good as mine. I'm no expert, so I turned my resident cooking expert, my mom and just went with what she said to buy.
ReplyDelete@Steven what brand did you get and where?
ReplyDelete@Jenny, he may have logged off already (he was close to it a few minutes ago), but he bought his at Walmart too and it was all stainless steel. I can't remember the brand, but it started with a C I believe. I know that's now helpful. Maybe check back tomorrow and he can post what it is exactly.
ReplyDelete@Christy thank you so much! This has been very helpful. I was looking online and thinking I might need to spend a lot of money that I don't really have one because I need a good all purpose knife, but the more I looked, the more confused I became. I'll be back tomorrow to see if @Steven can tell me the brand of his in case my Wally World doesn't have the Paula Deen. I really like her brand of stuff, and would rather have it.
ReplyDelete@Jenny, you're very welcome! I can't believe I just gave someone cooking utensil advice! I'm just really getting into cooking, thanks to @Steven, so to be useful to someone is really cool! :-)
ReplyDelete@Steven you're such a romantic! For a minute though, I thought the Cuisinart was chopping and dicing your fingers, then I noticed the comma. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSeriously awesome post dude!
I go to bed early and look what I miss..LMAO!!
ReplyDelete@Christy thanks for answering my question.
@Steven never took for a romantic, are you watching to many chick flicks...LOL!!
@Amanda: I went to bed late and still missed a bunch! LOL!
ReplyDeleteA couple years ago, I discovered the Lifetime channel and got sucked into all these made-for-TV woman-in-jeopardy movies. My mom cracked up when I told her about them! LOL! But yeah, I'm kind've a romantic at heart. But I simply refuse to watch chick flicks where someone dies in the in the end! "Beaches", "Terms of Endearment" - BAH!
@Jenny: My santoku is Chicago Cutlery brand. It was about $16, but it's just the one, not a set of two like @Christy got. I also hacked my thumb nail in half the second or third time I used it. (No blood, but it looked very gnarly and masculine.) It's really sharp! But I love it. Cutting meat is literally like cutting butter. It just makes everything easier when you're making something that requires lots of dicing and slicing. I'm in Texas and, apparently, Paula Deen cutlery is no longer welcome at Wally World here (loved that!). You can buy a GUN, but not a cooking knife. However, I did get a Paula Deen food scale there (no sharp edges).
My God -- I can't believe I'm talking about COOKING UTENSILS! I'm never, EVER getting invited to another Superbowl party. Unless they want me to cook...;-P
@Hooka: I submitted that comment to Proofreaders'R'Us before submitting it. (Paid extra for expedited delivery.)
@All: So what's the deal with all these short doctor visits??? I don't remember ever getting the bum-rush when I've seen my doctor. Maybe it's because I dance and tell jokes...;-P
ReplyDelete@Steven my doctor visits are ALWAYS short. I feel like I'm on an assembly line.
ReplyDelete- one lady calls my name
- another weighs me
- another one take my blood pressure
- the doc rushes in and as fast as he can asks me questions, writes a script and leaves
- I sit there wondering if I'm really done and where the friggin exit is
Typical.
@Steven I also meant to add that your comment way up there about the Ghost thing was GREAT! You're cool!
ReplyDelete@Jenny those knives rock! I don't know about brands, but my hubby gave me one for Christmas and I love it. I use it for everything and like @Steven says, it cuts meat and veggies like butter. Get one girl!
ReplyDelete@Christy OMG! I'm so sorry! I meant to comment to you FIRST! I love this post! I know you thought you had nothing to say, but the list you wrote was the best. Sometimes it's fun to hear about the goofy little things that happen in someone else's life.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should have waited and posted one comment. Sorry everybody!
ReplyDelete@Hooka LOoka your questions to @Christy were funny! And I LOVED what you said to @Steven about the chopping and dicing fingers thing. LMAO!
I think I'm done now. :-)
@Inches: Thanks! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd, sheesh, about the doctor visits - I had no frickin' clue. I used call one of my previous doctors my "TV doctor" because she was so hot! LOL! (I've told @Christy about her.) I don't remember if she was punctual - probably not - but I never felt rushed. We gabbed a bit, did the doctor stuff, gabbed a bit more, and then I was on my way. 'Course, that was a loooong time ago, at least 15 years. Things may have changed a bit since then. I haven't been to a doctor since '07 (knock on wood), but even then it was a pretty leisurely experience. That sucks that you're all getting booted out at warp speed. Maybe it's a male vs. female patient thing. Except it should be the opposite -- women are a LOT more complicated than guys! LOL!
LOL! Glad you liked the "Ghost" thing. ;-)
@Steven I think it's an economy thing. Hubby has the same experience. In and out as fast as possible. And they're always running behind. Frustrating.
ReplyDeleteBtw I think you and @Christy are the cutest! I've been a secret reader since St. Upid's Day. You're a very clever guy. No wonder she's crazy about you!
@Inches: You're an Upid! You're an Upid! LOL! And thanks! @Christy's a clever gal, so we mesh pretty splendidly. :-)
ReplyDeleteAfter I posted my last comment (or the one before, whatever), I was thinking financial re: doctors. Get em in, move em out, collect $200 as you pass 'Go'. My 'TV doctor' was in Dallas, but like I said, it was a long time ago. The visit I had in '07 was in a tiiiiiny town in Central Texas, so the pace was slower. I don't know. It's all kinda depressing. Getting sick is a pain in the ass!
@Steven maybe it depends on where you live. I'm in a large city. I've never heard of Spokane, which is what is in @Christy's profile, so it may be smaller? Maybe that's the difference. I don't know.
ReplyDeleteAbout St.Upid, Yep! I was HOOKED! LOL! Hubby thought I was crazy for logging on to read ALL those comments. We celebrated Valentine's Day in style (at home, fireplace lit, takeout dinner so I didn't have to cook, just the two of us and no kids, talking).
@Inches: I'm thinking the same thing about small towns vs. major metro areas. Spokane's pretty big though. I think @Christy's doctor was just more interested in US than in other patients! LOL!
ReplyDeleteYour Valentine's Day sounds perfect. I don't know if it's an age thing or what, but a cozy night at home talking, laughing, eating and then talking and laughing some more usually beats the hell out of going out for me.
I'm glad that whole St. Upid's thing hooked you! LOL! I was amazed at what happened here with all that. I had a ball! You ladies cracked me up. LOL! (I think there was one guy too, but he fled early on.)
@Christy this is a nice post! Oh if you only knew the odd things that happen to me in a week, but who would think about posting them in a blog? I'd think my stuff was boring, but yours was funny and kind of cute.
ReplyDelete@Hooka your questions were great! You're such a funny guy! Love seeing you here and on @Steven's blog. Oh and the comment about @Steven's later post about the Ghost scene...LMAO! I kind of read it the same way, then noticed the comma. LOL! I was like...what??? Then, oh!!!
@Steven I LOVED that Ghost/Cuisinart post! Pure genius!
@Christy and @Steven thanks for the tips on the Santoku knives. I've been looking at them too online, but now will go to WalMart for mine. Hope I can get the Paula Deen set.
@All..so let me tell you about a Dr. visit I had once. I went for a first visit, should be ½ hour max. right....lasted 4 hours and we had to evacuate because the fire alarm went off in the building (we were on the 4th floor and we had to walk down the stairs) and the fire trucks arrived (no fire).
ReplyDeleteI saw the Dr. for about 20 minutes and all he said was I needed to lose weight and charged my insurance company $600.
Never went back, and I wound having to taking ½ day of vacation day.
@Michele: Thanks, darlin'! :-) ("Ghost" is a chick-flick I actually like 'cos it's got ghosts and stuff.)
ReplyDelete@Christy I looked online (Amazon) for santoku knives and found some for, like, $200! I was like, mm-mm. I can't even afford a piece of meat worth cutting for two hundred bucks! LOL! Our cheapies work just fine, finger-cutting aside.
@Amanda: Not that I'm not touched by your crappy experience with the insurance-frauding doctor, but what I really wanna know is: How the hell did you type "1/2" like that? LOL!
@Steven....I could tell you but then I would have to kill you (Secretary of Defense)..LOL!! Women have to have some secrets don't you know :-)
ReplyDelete@Amanda: AWWWWWWW!!! :-( My cabinet's rebelling! What am I gonna do?? LOL! That's alright. I'm gonna find some really cool, fancy-dancy Mac keystroke to impress you with and then I'm not gonna tell you squat about! ;-P
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about this, but only using ½ my brain because the day is more than ½ over, and wondered if I should share with @Steven how it’s done. But then I wondered if it would show up right if I did it. So I didn’t want to brag. Really, I only had to use ¼ of my brain because it wasn’t that difficult. But since he’s so cute, I won’t rub it in that he can’t do the cool ½ or ¼ thing. ♥♥♥
ReplyDelete@Amanda, you are safe! Remember, we gun toting chicks stick together! ;-)
@Christy...LMAO..Chicks rules!!
ReplyDeleteümlat! ümlat! ümlat! Take that, you Windows scum!
ReplyDeleteDrats! I forgot the convoluted way to do that on Windows! Foiled by El Presidente! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI do; however, demand a retraction of the "Windows scum" statement. Need I remind you I am the Veep? ;-)
Guess "El Presidente" has chosen to ignore "the Veep".
ReplyDelete@Anonymous, he's having internet issues again, so he's possibly in a "down" period. Also, we're all busy with work, family, and life in general. I don't think anyone expects an immediate answer here. It's a blog, not a text conversation. All is fine and cool. :-)
ReplyDelete@Steven you are just jealous that Chicks rocks :-P and I think you owe us an apology.
ReplyDelete@Amanda and The Veep: I'm...sø®®¥! hehe
ReplyDeleteChicks do rock, though. :-)
@Steven: now you are just showing off!!
ReplyDelete@Amanda, see what I have to put up with? :-)
ReplyDelete@Steven, thank you for admitting you're sø®®¥ and that chicks do rock. ;-)
ReplyDelete@All three of you... LMAO! I can't do any special characters and feel so...ordinary. :-(
ReplyDelete@Christy, nice post about this being a blog and not an IM or text forum. I think people sometimes forget when the back and forth is so immediate. Well stated. I like the way you word things! :-)
@Christy...yes I do, wish I could meet you someday.
ReplyDelete@Amanda, you never know! :-)
ReplyDeleteOnce again, I missed all the fun. Darned flu!
ReplyDelete@Steven great use of...in my addled state, I don't know what those are called...to say sorry.
@Hooka, I hope you feel much better soon! Having the flu stinks! :-( We miss you.
ReplyDelete✔ out what I can do @Steven!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't ever ❒ me in El Presidente! LOL!
ReplyDelete@Hooka: Feverish, huh? LOL!
ReplyDeleteI watched your slideshow and really like your photos. Very pretty. Nice little blog.
ReplyDelete@El Presidente I'm feeling ☺. Today I'm a ✩. No ☁ are on my horizon. There is ☮in the land.
ReplyDelete@Hook: LMFAO!
ReplyDeleteAnd for future reference, remember, an a day keeps the doctor away!
A box a day? LMAO! That's a new one El Presidente! Am I the only one seeing a box?
ReplyDelete@Steven I see a box too. Is it more effective than an apple? If so, I'm sending my doc a box every day to keep him away!
ReplyDeleteI've figured it out! It's code. As Treasurer, and being "special" and all, I'm supposed to decipher . I can do it. Just give me a few days. I'll get it. Thiiiiiiinking...
ReplyDelete@Hooka and Lady Bug: It's an apple, dammit! An apple, an apple, an apple! Albeit, a very...special apple. Go ahead @Hooka...take a bite...go on...just a teensy weensy...bite...
ReplyDelete@Honey, it's a box. Sorry. :-( I'd like to be supportive, but...
ReplyDelete@Christy: Ya wanna be supportive? Lie!
ReplyDelete@Honey! I see the apple! It's a lovely Granny Smith, my fave! @Hooka and @Lady Bug, I think y'all are crazy, the apple is clearly there.
ReplyDelete@Hooka and @Lady Bug: She's lying.
ReplyDeleteWay to be supportive, "Honey".
ReplyDelete@Steven..Wow I see a knife that @Christy is peeling that apple with, that she pulled out of her back....LOL!!
ReplyDelete@Amanda: LMAO! {ack!}
ReplyDelete@Steven...Remember Chicks stick together!!
ReplyDeleteThat's right @Amanda! Glad you've got my back...and helped me pull that knife out. LOL!
ReplyDelete@Christy first, I'm going to be honest. My life is so hectic I can't remember if I've responded to this post or not and I'm too busy to look (I hope you don't mind), so I'm responding mabye again? IDK.
ReplyDeleteYou just thought you had nothing to say! I love this post! Your week was actually funny and made me laugh, something I really needed. Thank you! I'm looking forward to reading your next post.
@Denise, I know things are crazy for you right now, and my thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked my post and that it made you laugh. Thanks for the comment! The next post is coming soon :-)
And zooooooom!!!
ReplyDeleteSkywriting...
R.E.A.D.Y...F.O.R...N.E.W...P.O.S.T...
@Hooka was here and gone!
Patience @Hooka, patience! LOL! It's coming.
ReplyDeleteFly by again soon. ;-)
Wow! You really have changed the blog look since last night! I go to sleep and you're all blue skies and some steeple thing. Today you've got a different feel with an orange sky and dark tree. I like it, but I liked the other one too. Is this the final or are you still working on it?
ReplyDeleteOh and stop messing with the layout and start writing a new post! LOL!
ReplyDeleteSorry, Hooka, but I haven't been hit by writing inspiration just yet. I need to get this blog look correct first. No, this isn't my final. I'm searching through my photos for the right background for my header. Until I find that, I'm afraid I'll keep changing it. Give me time, dear friend. ;-)
ReplyDeleteNow you're back to blue! I like the scroll work piece. Is that one of your photos? Nice! Final?
ReplyDeleteI feel so out of the loop! :-( I didn't see any of the iterations before this light background with the stacked books. (I put the description in because it sounds like it could change again at any moment...)
ReplyDeleteToo bad @Steven64. She had some really cool ones up at various times. I've been popping in and out to see how it's changed. It started last night. Saw her conversation with @Hooka Looka last night and came to see. Hope she writes something soon though. Hasn't changed in a while so maybe she's writing now.
ReplyDeleteSince others are commenting. The orange and browns with the dark tree was really atmospheric and moody. I liked it best. Yeah I've had nothing better to do and saw at least 3 versions. Kind of fun watching it change. Would have thought you would be helping her though @Steven64. I saw your blog why not?
ReplyDelete@Jerry: She'll be back writing soon. We both got tied up with life over the last week or so and haven't had a chance to sit down and...think. Soon though. Soon...;-)
ReplyDelete@Amy: I was in bed way early! LOL! I had to be up early for a project today. About 30 minutes ago was the first time I've looked at @Christy's blog in a couple of days. Course, now I wanna change mine! ;-P
Not to be bitchy, but if you're "in love" why didn't you know she was changing it and why haven't you looked at her site in days? Just curious. Seems like you'd know more than we would. Just wondering and I'm sure I'm not the only one who still follows you two that's curious.
ReplyDelete@Amy: LOL! You're not being bitchy. :-) @Christy and I video Skyped last night and the night before (and I think the night before that!) for many, many hours. Sometimes we look at our blogs "together" and sometimes we just chat, make dinner together, etc. The last few nights we've just talked. @Christy had mentioned wanting to give her blog a face lift, but she wasn't sure when she was gonna do it. Since I went to bed WAY early last night, she did it while I was asleep. Ironically, I was on my computer ALL DAY today, but didn't take a peek over here until I had time to read some of the comments that came into my email.
ReplyDeleteSoooo - question answered? ;-)
@Christy & @Anybody Else: When I click on the link in my email to comment on the blog, I get a weird page with all the comments, but it's on a white background and the width of the text box is really wide.
ReplyDeleteAnybody else have that happen?
@Jerry and @Amy, thanks for following along as I did my trial and error way of finding the right look for my blog as it exists today. I think I've settled on this one. :-)
ReplyDelete@Amy, never fear, all is well. As @Steven stated, life has just been busy, but we've spent a whole lot of time together doing things much more fun than revamping my blog. I did get high praise from him on my new blog look when we had dinner together tonight, which means a lot since he's a graphic designer. I trust he will tell me what I need to fix.
