3/28/2009 Really....Now who believes in Global Warming? Torrential rain, snow storms, wind...really.
Life is good around here.
I don't know what happened to my keyboard, but some keys don't want to play. If I ould type wat appens, ere's te result.
Too much weather to talk about. I'm ready for some heat.
More later, Facebook takes up most of my time! Nana...what's your facebook name. Mine's TexasMammie.
xoxo 3/16/2009 Monday mornings...I hate Mondays. And I think Mondays hate me. They're not all bad, but once in a while, they gang up on me.
How was your weekend? Mine was great. I went shopping, found the perfect jeans and took naps. (While you're out and about, do you find things are getting more expensive?)
We went over to my daughter's Saturday night and our son-in-law cooked supper.
On Sunday, we went to the Triple Cross Cowboy Church.
Life is GOOD.
My other son-in-law is aboard a ship in the Persian Gulf. He should be home in June. YEA!! My daughter is working on getting their Texas licenses. She's a dentist and he's an anesth.....um, doctor.
Hubby is finally working in the area this week! He'll be home every night. Yea!! We celebrate our 36th next month. Mmmm....he's a hottie. You gotta be old to understand this.
Both of the grandkids in Florida, Jack and Kate, are sick. Hope my daughter doesn't get sick, too.
The Princess has the week off....spring break. Just you wait, Mom. She may be in the first grade now...but soon she'll be going to Padre Island.
You went to South Padre. Remember? You tried to get your navel pierced and it got infected (and you had to take the thing out?).
Yeah...just you wait.
Annah's probably sleeping. She turned 4 months old on Saturday. What a dimpley, beautiful gift.
Let's see....Lola is doing great. She's big. She weighs 91 pounds. I don't have to bend over to pet her. On Saturday, she found a kitten in the backyard and she pinned it down with her paw to sniff it. Then she let it go. Gotta tell ya, I was yelling and screaming at her 'cause I was afraid for that baby. Lola was just curious, that's all. I don't know how it got into my back yard, but I'll bet it won't be back.
My neighbor...Louise...she is the sweetest lady. She's a widow, in her 70's and she is as hot as a firecracker. A couple of months ago, she shot an armadillo in her back yard at about 2:00 in the morning. With a shotgun. Hubby and I woke up with a WTH? look on our faces. Don't know how the varmint fared.
My trash service screwed up and didn't pick it up on the day they were supposed to. Something, maybe a raccoon, got into the trash and strewed it all about. And Miss Louise came over when I was gone and picked it all up! What a sweetheart.
The cats are good. I'm going to have to get a couple 'fixed'. Two of them. Rex and Tucker. They've never been out of the house before, so this should be fun. Can you say 'one big, spitting hissy fit'?
Zazu is doing OK. She's about 17. She's old enough to have earned the right to sleep wherever she wants to. Most days she can be found on the stove. I'm going to have to get her a heating pad.
Hubby's mom wants him to rewire her house. One of his talents is being an electrician. I guess we'll do that next month. And yes, I say "we". I help. I don't like it, but I feed the wire and pull the wire and am a general 'gopher'. I have no clue as to what I'm doing. It should be a 5 or 6 day job. Hard work, but we get to see family and friends while we're there.
Did I ever tell you that my niece (on my side of the family) works for Hubby's brother? Small world.
OK, enough about 'them'. Now it's all about ME. I joined Facebook and am still trying to figure it all out. THEN, I went and joined TWITTER! I am so technology challenged! I guess I feel that need to jump in while it still fairly new, so that I can figure it out. My brain hurts.
Well, that's the update for now. If you want to join me on Facebook or Twitter, look for Dana/Suzie Marchman or TexasMammie.
And yes, my real name is Dana. My nickname is Suzie.

3/6/2009 Hi~Finally got some new pictures up. Takes me forever to do that.
Today was just another boring day. Hubby's been working out of town all week. And has for the last 3 weeks and will probably be again next week. I can't wait until this project is over.
Hubby gets the new guy - always. He's had a few questionable ones, but this one's a doozy. He's mid 30's and has been working with Hubby about 3 months. My husband is a hard worker, works pretty much a 10 hour day and this guy mostly stands around doing nothing. He doesn't like physical labor (and there's not a whole lot of that) but he's got a smart mouth and is an all around jerk. He's recently laid off from General Motors and what he did there really doesn't qualify him for this job. But he tells Hubby that he doesn't 'do' physical labor....he's a craftsman.
Most of what they do is about schematics, blueprint reading and computer stuff. They do have to do some physical work and some is pretty hard. Yesterday, Hubby told him to go do something and the guy says, "You got tools, do it yourself".
What he doesn't know is that his probation time is about up and Hubby will be the first person they talk to. And nobody else in the group will work with him! I guess his economic stiuation is better than most people's.
My kids are getting older. My youngest wants to borrow some boots I have. Pretty soon we'll be sharing the same old, gray button-up sweater.
My son-in-law was supposed to be sent to Iraq a few weeks ago but since they are trying to get all the troops out, he was rescheduled to go to Afghanistan. However, he is now on a peace keeping mission in Somalia. Thank you, Lord! He'll be stationed on a ship, I guess and will go to the hospital everyday.
Well, I need to pay some bills and do some housework. Lola isn't liking that Hubby has been gone all week and is a little rambunctous.
Take care~
xoxo
p.s. Why don't they have a spell check on this thing??! Like I can spell Afghanistan!! |
