hiya peeps

howdy folks...

i'm still alive.. just havin internet problems. gotta shake things up a bit ya know. dish goin out wasn't enough for us , so we ended up losin internet on saturday too. just cuz we're us ya know. things like this, and gettin evicted for no reason, or gettin caught in a damn flash flood... in the city. you know, things that kinda just don't happen.. happen to us, all the time. we are the disastrous duo, you know?

anyhow--- movin right along.... did i fish yesterday? yes, yes i did. did i catch any? no, no i did not. did i enjoy myself? yes i did. immensely so. it was so warm outside yesterday. the wind was a bit too much at times... but it was worth it to put up with a little wind to have a summer like day in the beginning of january! today is even better, but i have spent the entire day inside.. on the couch.. in my jammies. dunno why.. just kinda tired today.. or lazy...nah... tired.
but anyhow--- back to yesterday--- yep-- i went to my favorite pond.. (i will put a pic up later on..some of y'all will not believe how different those apartments they're building look now..very nice)... anyhow... i didn't even care that we didn't catch fish--oh ya, hubby went too, neither of us caught any fish... there was an egret there fishing too-- and he didn't get any fish either.... i think that made me feel better :))
we didn't stay very long, maybe an hour, and i didn't fish the whole time. i sat for a while and just watched the egret and took a few pics and just talked to soulman. it was just really nice to be outside again. it really does me no good at all to be cooped up in the house. i wasn't born for cold climates; i just cannot deal with it. i don't go out at all it seems, and before too long it begins to affect me in ways i don't realize until it gets warm again. it's hard to explain.. but somewhere back early in my blog i compared a couple pictures of when i came out of my agoraphobic cave of like five years , and began to go outside .. the difference was really drastic, in a short time.
amazing what a little sunshine and fresh air does for a person.
so anyhow, i'm rambling. probably because i know this weather isn't gonna last, and i will regret not taking advantage of this day. but that's ok i guess.


(ok.. it's later , for this part--
cuz here's the picture
you can click to enlarge)


unfortunately, i screwed up, and somehow,
THIS is the only picture that didn't
get erased. UGH.
yep, the egret pics are gone
and so are several others.
i think i shall be exchanging this camera.
i'm too technically challenged for this one.

OK>> now you can go back to you regularly scheduled readin. :))


anyhow... obviously .. hubby fixed the internet problem, but it is a slow connection. the cable people will be here tomorrow--- for the third time.... i wonder what they'll screw up next? good thing my cell is my main number. :))

welp... i'm gonna cruise awhile, hopefully hit everyone's page, and i will hopefully see y'all later, and post a pond pic , if i don't have anymore outages.

until then-
ore vuas

Hiya!
I was toast yesterday from doing the housework, so this morning I went out for a walk and felt so much ALIVE... it's freaking grey here though, no sunshine, just snow, argh!
I've a sudden craving for Vietnamese food! So I'm making Pho tonight, giving myself the unnecessary work! Argh!

The Real Mother Hen said...

That's pond you fish in?

Oldy said...

it is actually HOT today! it's heavenly!!I wish thew boat wasn't winterized.

weis plays tennis.

go comment on me blog!!!

i'll trade you cable companies. lol

what are you doin?
love me

Cheryl said...

Howdy! Is the pond (lake?) close to where you live? I'm sure it felt great to be outside. I got out for a while today too. It's revitalizing!

I've not had any internet problems since I got Verizon Fios. We're really lucky to get that here. I hope your problems are fixed tomorrow. What would life be without a little aggravation?

Mary said...

Glad you got to go fishin' It was really nice outside here today, too. Our day was good. Everyone ate and was too full to cause much confusion. Take care, Kid. Later

Jessica said...

Sounds like a good day outside in the warmth! It was 40 day, so good to see some snow melting.

I know what you mean about feeling cooped up. I am going stir crazy!

SOUL said...

hiya motha!
glad you have the guts to go for a walk in the snow-- i would would rather die-- but you already know that. but yes.. being outside--- if it is a temp you can live with-- really is revitalizing. even just having the windows and blinds open were good today. although i still regret not getting out. :(( the nap was good tho. so it was a fair trade. maybe.
btw-- no idea what pho is.. i may have seen blur write about it once tho--anyhow, it headed us straight to a chinese to go joint tonight-- well soulman anyhow, sent to get it.. and it was good. as usual.. "Pei Wei" is the place. almost always good.
hope you get some sunshine SOON...
and yep that's the pond we fish at..one of a few near by.

laterz..

SOUL said...

oldy-- could it actually be "global warming"? hmmm. i hope so! at least for a little while. i'm sure gonna miss this when it's gone.

i had no idea he played tennis. is it on x-box or the real thing? :))

and hell no-- i don't wanna trade. i'm so sick of every damn electronic device--and person involved with them i could scream! oh, i have.

right now? i just finished eating, and reading yet another full of crap fortune from my fortune cookie.

anyhow...
what are YOU doin?

SOUL said...

cheryl..howdy!
oops YOU said revitalizing.. motha said alive-- i have NO memory whatsoever. someone just needs to lock me up somewhere.

anyhow. we can't get fios here... they don't have it in our area. would like to have it. well..actually, we'd like to have anything that functions properly at the moment.

my life without aggravation would be pretty dull i think. also i would lose all my one liners--
such as

it's cuz i'm me
can't have nuthin
you hate me don't you

and others i can't think of right now.
but ya.
so glad everyone seems to be havin some better weather and doin stuff lately.

oh, and yes-- since we moved we're even closer to the ponds!!!
maybe a couple miles. vs about 5 or so.

see ya

Portia said...

Howdidoo Soul! It's good to hear from you. Glad you got out fishing. I hope things smoothed out a bit and you're having a great Sunday evening:)
OH- and yes, the BBQ is ON!!

SOUL said...

hi mary--
i wish a full belly was all it took to ease confusion around here! :))
it seems to be constant chaos over one thing or another... but like i said--- that's where i find the most humor in my life.. so it's all good.
take it easy, enjoy your evening.. and don't fall saleep on the couch again :))

SOUL said...

hi jessica...

i can just imagine how you feel right now-- i do know it's not easy for you though. hopefully you'll get a sixty degree day soon and open a window or two???
surely snow people are somewhat warm in 60???
hell i don't know... but if it's 40 here... i'm wrapped up like the tar baby--- or buried under the covers in bed!!!
take care!

SOUL said...

i would have sent him the money but when i asked no one told me which nephew paid for it, or how much it was. or WHERE to send it. kinda helpful info where money is concerned. ya think?
send his address. i'm guessin 50-60 bucks --ask hi.

and yep--- i'm sittin here with headphones on... blocking out frickin xbox call of duty four-- LIVE-- oh yes.. he is ATE UP. ugh.

50 is cold to me too...i live for 70 or better!!!

Golden To Silver Val said...

Glad you got to go fishin'...sorry you didn't catch anything. My aunt once told me that she loved to just sit there and FISH...said she could put things in perspective while doing so. She didn't mind not catching anything....if she did, it was a bonus. Is that how you feel? Hope the rest of your day was a goodie. Stay mellow ~ Charlotte

SOUL said...

that's about it val-- if the weather is good, i just love NOT being indoors. i don't care if i'm fishin at the pond alone--or on the boat with four other people -- that's rare-- it's usually just me and soulman... but regardless--- i just love the water--and the sport.. and the air , and the sun,,, did i mis anything?
have a good monday charlotte-- hope you are feeling bettah

EE said...
