things that make ya go hmmmmm


Well… happy Sunday peeps…

I don’t know about y’all but today just feels weird already. Not sure how to explain what I mean by that yet—but maybe I’ll get there. We’ll see.

It’s 7 A.M. .. Sunday of course-- everything seems “off” already. Ever since I woke up at 5 (ish). For one.. 5 is a bit late for me, but I have been sleeping til then (ish) for a few days it seems. I think maybe I have been staying awake later though too, so maybe that has something to do with that part—but it still feels a bit strange. I usually am up before , or around 4.

This morning.. I woke up… and nothing felt right. I didn’t even feel like I was in the right place. Ya know what I mean? Just a bit out of it I think. Maybe shaking off a dream that I couldn’t remember. Not sure. Then I noticed hubby wasn’t there in bed… but it only took a second to remember that he had to leave around 230 for the fishing tournament. But normally I hear him leave- or wake up when he kisses me goodbye--- (without fail)… but I didn’t this morning. I don’t remember a thing.

Then I get up, and (spot) the cat is sleeping in the bathroom, and jitterbug, the other cat, is sleeping on top of an oversized footlocker at the foot of my bed. Normally jitterbug Is IN the bed—and spot is UNDER the bed. Sushi—she usually goes to bed with me, but when soulkid goes to bed, she kidnaps her and takes her to her room. So , that was nothing new to find her in their, and put her outside.

Anyhow—I just had a strange “feeling”. And when I got online.. to check on peeps, and have my morning “cawfee tawk” (slash) smoke n choke with Jamie—she is nowhere to be found. So, of course I begin to worry—as y’all know—she is awake before the chickens almost everyday—like 3 A/M--- and here it is after 7 and nothin.

So—I answer comments here—and make my rounds—not much new stuff—anywhere. More strangeness. No new news since yesterday a.m.??

It just seems strangely quiet here. In my house—and in blogland. Even sushi came back from outside and disappeared again—she usually gets under my old lady blanky in my chair in the mornings. Every morning. Haven’t even seen her since I let her in.

All this, and – a migraine for breakfast. WTH is UP with all the headaches lately?

What is UP with a lot of stuff?

830-now---

Aha---- Jamie sprung to life—(this is the latest she has slept since I have known her btw)

we talked a while. Now I feel a bit more like I am in a regular day--- but not still.

I have a shopping date with soulkid later on today. Y’all would be surprised how fast a kid can clean a total disaster area when they really want something. :))

We’d been planning a trip to mall hell for a week now—because soulman has his fishing tournament, and really, she and I just need to spend some time together.

It seems like a long time since we have done anything, just the two of us. It has been a long time. So , even though I hate the mall—and already fear the walking, and probable arguing—I am looking forward to our day together.

Well anyhow—I spose that is all I got for now. The mall here doesn’t open til friggin noon, so I just may have a look around and see if hubby happened to have left me a decent fishing rod—and tackle. If so I MAY go fish a while, til the girl wakes up.

But, I am not feeling very hopeful that I will find a rod worth fishing with—usually a tournament day—means every good setup—and every decent bait we own.. is gone.

So—whatever will I do with myself? Read my book maybe. Which btw—is pretty good—but totally NOT what I expected. I do seem to read faster when I can see though.

So, hopefully, it will get interesting again and I just may finish it by tonight. If so—this will be the fastest I have read a book—in literally years.

Is it the book—or the cheap glasses???

Hmmm.

Anyhow---

I do hope you all have good days today=

Mall hell and all – I will try

I hope you find out why you had such a strange feeling today...maybe it was the gods trying to warn you away from mall hell! Sorry I haven't been around for a few days...I've been caught up in my own hell...bathroom remodeling so to speak. It involved stripping old wallpaper off and preparing the walls for paint. How hard can that be? Such a fool I am. LOLOLOLOLOL. Anyway, there it awaits me, with its bare, spackle smeared walls. I'm finding that my aging has made DO IT YOURSELF a very nasty phrase. Anyhow...wanna feel good about mall hell today? The weather outside my door is 4 and the wind chill is 20 below zero. Mama is not happy.

Cheryl said...

Good luck with the shopping trip. You know your daughter will be happy and nice to you if you're buying. I hope it turns out to be fun. That could happen!

SOUL said...

yep i hear ya charlotte-- i hate these kindsa "feelings"... maybe once we get out and movin around i will feel better-- or different, at least.

i remember one of those DIY bathroom projects that i did a few years ago-- stripping wallpaper SUCKS. i never knew what a tough job it could be. i had done it before-- but that particular bathroom , had some particularly hard to remove wallpaper.
sure looked good once it was finished though.
i did learn then though-- that i would NEVER remove wallpaper again. and so far-- i haven't. ugly walls are better than insanity-- any day. :))

i hurt for you and your weather-- just thinkin about it makes me cold.

wanna get mad at me tho? we are sposed to have another 70 degree day today. sorry--but it pays sometimes to NOT have roots in cold places. :))

that just made me think of garth brooks
"friends in low places"

i could write one about my snow queens in cold places... ya think?

anyhow--
hope you have a great day-- don't work too hard--- well.. on the bright side-- working keeps ya warm, right.

SOUL said...

heya cheryl-- yes it "could" happen..
in a perfect world maybe. :))

nah.. sometimes we actually do have fun together-- even at the mall. and lately, she has been unusually "nice" to me. no, not cuz she wants something-- it started before she knew i was willing to buy anything :))

girls-- they're just weird. but you know that already.

but speaking of our outing---- i just may have my breakfast craving fulfilled this morning while killing time for the mall to open.
IHOP maybe.
hmmmm.

that just made my stomach
growl. funny how just a thought or smell can do that, isn't it??

anyhow---
happy sunday--
any plans?
wallpapering?
reading?

are you freezing to death too?

Mary said...

My day seems strange, too. Everything is out of sinc and that drives me up the wall. I'm on my third cup of coffee now and after this I have to get a start on today. I make note that is's an almost 4 hour late start.

I'm so glad a trip to the mall isn't in my cards today. If it was I think I'd just go to bed and groan real loud.

IHOP by all means. It'll give you strength to make mall hell at least mall bearable.

Jessica said...

You get up super duper early dontcha? I can't imagine waking up for the day at 4...
But I thought I should tell you it's a whopping 13 BELOW ZERO!!!! As my brother says that's "Colder than a well diggers arse in the Klondike." I was outside much earlier and it was a cold like I cannot describe. And I forgot my mittens. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Jamie said...

I know what you mean by all things being just a bit "off". I am sorry I added to that off-ness - is that even a word? I had a really late night and a late start today as a result...

I have been home all day, decided that I needed a day off more than I needed to work, although I'm not sure how true that is...

Tuna casserole and my book, the extent of my plans for the day.

I hope you are having fun today - It's so miserable cold out, I can't bear the idea of anything more, and I'm so jealous of your weather.

xo

:)

SOUL said...

that's kinda odd now mary-- seems a lot of folks are havin off days. hmmmm.

anyhow-- we didn't make it to IHOP- so someone still owes me breakfast!
but we did go to lunch and it was good. and we had some good conversation-- which is very rare around here.
so it was good.

hope your day is going well--

SOUL said...

yep jess- i do get up early-- too early. if i make it to 530 it's sleepin in. :((

like the well digger saying. that sounds pretty damn cold. i would die in weather like that. absolutely die. or kill myself. i couldn't handle it. i would really just sit down and cry like a baby-- all the time. i don't know how you gals do it. just don't. not how-- or why. NO amount of love would make me live like that. not love or money... nothin.

well, hey-- tell me this-- what does a snow fairy look like? :))

SOUL said...

hey jamie--
i think you takin the day off is a really good idea.
i hope you are warm, and cuddled up with farfield and your book-- in a nice quiet house.

and yes -- i believe offness is a word. hell, i think just about anything is a word these days. :))

oh and just so ya know--- tuna casserole makes me ILL. i can't even be near it. i've never tried it with "real" tuna.. but with canned tuna-- forget it-- i would rather die!
you can thank my sis for that. :))

as for the weather-- i'm lookin for the perfect bottle-- once i find it-- i'll let ya know--

have a good rest of the day--

ox

Angie Weid said...

I hope your strange day ended well. Things have been quite busy around here. Today mainly trying to find ways to keep warm, it's 1deg outside (too frickin' cold for me). Wish I could be in Texas right now, hey I could get you organized!

CRUSTY MOM-E said...

Mall Hell! YUCK!
I'm sick.
Sick in Arizona.
Sick on plane.
Sick sick SICK!
Have to blog about it, but going to bed instead..
am home safe.

I hope you weren't offended by the UD Comment..don't let that stop you from being you! I like you and that's all that matters!! :)

Always,
Crusty~

CRUSTY MOM-E said...

I just read your reply comment to me...UD isn't bigdogg..Bigdogg is BDD..
UD isn't my husband!
That's why I wanted to make sure you knew that! I'm sorry if you didnt. I would tell you if I didn't like what you said, and you're free to be you.
Sorry for the misunderstanding my dear! Crap, I wish I'd checked this sooner!!
Always,
ME

Blur Ting said...

Oh my goodness. Why do you and Crusty wake up in the wee hours? It's no wonder why you feel so tired during the day. If I don't sleep enough, I feel like a zombie all day.

I hope the trip to the mall with soulkid turns out well. It's always nice to spend some time together, eating ice cream, chatting... Hope it turns out just that way. Oh, with lots of sunshine too! And, Soulhub comes back with a trophy!

Karen said...

Do you LIKE getting up at that hour or is it something you just got used to? Heavens above, I've usually only been in bed a few hours by then. Mind you, I would probably get a whole lot more done if I weren't such a lazy bones and got up earlier. Nup....at my age if I haven't changed by now it aint never gonna happen.

Hope you had a great day and didn't do too much damage to your credit card. If my girls and I go shopping it's a disaster for our finances and it's not me that has anything to show for it either.

Anonymous said...

so..do tell all about mall hell..and what awesome weather you're having...yes..it sucks and I'm extremely jealous..but oh well.. spring will be here soon..won't it???

Summer said...

Better today?

SOUL said...

hi angie-- the day did actually end quite alright. hope yours did too-
haven't seen you around lately-- good to see you today.
busy is good-- if it's work busy i spose--

and hey-- come on down.. the more the merrier-- apparently rain the next two days tho-- so blah.

btw-- the organization part isn't so much the problem at this point anymore-- well.. at least not til i unpack. :))

i have shit (oops ) stored everywhere still.
i had a real problem with my legs and back when we first moved-- which is just recently easing up some over the last couple weeks.. at least enough to do some stuff around here. but until recently i was pretty much worthless. so-- if ya want to unpack, and do the donation, keep, sell, pile thing-- and-- have a bit of a mini vacation on top of it-- pack a bag. ! :))

better do it before hubbys predicted ice-storm though :(( phhttt.
i still won't accept that! it will not happen. it will not happen. it will not hap....

:))
have a great day-- and my lord-- MOVE or somethin--
why do people live in below zero temps. it just baffles me!

Angie Weid said...

I would love to move, but I have this situation with Nimrod that would cause far too much grief. A spring thaw get a way is quite tempting. Especially today, it's frickin' -3 deg outside. Brrrrrrrrrr......rrrrr!

SOUL said...

crusty--
ya know--
i guess i shouldn't have assumed UD was your husband-- i thought he was the one who i saw saying he loved you etc all the time-- but you know MY memory. so i will apologize for that mistake.
still not sure who he is though. but really it doesn't matter-- obviously someone who assumes control over your blog.
but -ya know what-- i will apologize for swearing on your page. even though it wasn't you who said what was said.

my thing with the whole deal? was that a whole day had passed, since UD said what he (?) did and you didn't say anything about it.
but that's alright.

maybe i shouldn't assume that "my friends" should defend me".

as you can see, i have had way too much going on around here-- and so have many of my friends.. to waste time over a holier than thou "whoever" , telling me that i am in so many words-- not "decent enough" to comment on your page because i "offended your readers".

apparently the readers that we share-- weren't offended at all-- because guess what-- they're still here.

i just don't have patience or time to censor my language ... or to explain it. you have read here for a long time. and you're right , this is who i am. and i would appreciate it if you would stop giving me permission to be who i am, because obviously i have not, and will not change that for anyone anyways.
i don't need permission to "be who i am"..
because i am who i am . regardless of the price.

i appreciate the invitation back to your blog-- but really, like i said-- now that i feel as if i would be walking into church wearing cut off jeans and a tank top--- i think i'll pass.
i get judged enough in life-- i don't need to be judged in blogland too.

happy monday crusty-- and really nothing personal-- i know it wasn't you who said it-- and that i don't hold against you.
but i just don't need to be under a magnifying glass.

c ya round.

SOUL said...

hey blur--
it's me and jamie that are the zero dark thirty queens--
no idea why-- just happens.

anyhow-- soulkid and i did have a good day at the mall-- surprisingly.

soulman didn't win at the tourney tho-- i guess it was a bad day fishing all around tho-- 50 boats-- 100 fisherman-- and the most fish caught in one boat was THREE.

glad i wasn't fishin. the weather was nice tho-- so that was a plus, but it was a long rough day. and apparently not much fun.

oh well maybe next time.

:)) happy day to ya

SOUL said...

hi gypsy--
sometimes i actually do like being up early-- mainly because i have the extra quiet time to myself while everyone is asleep. i like to have no noise-- tv-- talk ..etc..nothing. and that is rare when everyone is up.


it doesn't really help me get anything extra done during the day though.. because i don't actually get moving til after after 9 or ten. pretty bad huh. i do bills and stuff.. but housework- or errands-- i dont leave the house til later.

as for the credit card thing-- fun day-- but ummm.. yep-- the kid is an expensive date. and a smooooothe talker. :))

but it was a good day. i enjoyed it. but i will admit, she wore my ass out, and i had to have a nap when i got home.

what a drag it is getting old.

SOUL said...

hiya yankee--
pretty much spit out all the mall hell details already--

as far as the weather-- i could take a pic for ya next time i go fishin???
the next couple days aren't spose to be so great-- rain :(( --- but when it warms up-- i'll send warm ya lookin pictures. k?

i sooo feel for my freezin peeps.

have a great day-- or uhhh night yankee//

SOUL said...

hey summer-- so far- i haven't had a chance to think a whole lot-- so i would say yup-- for now.
you?
i hope you have a great day-- for a monday.
nah-- for a day.
:))

SOUL said...

hi again angie-- you slipped right in there--
ya - i hear ya on the nimrod ( snicker) thing. that can be a sucky situation.
but i gotcha.

so anyhow-- just how difficult would it actually be to take a working vacation for a few days? :))

CRUSTY MOM-E said...

Just so you know, the reason it took me a day to reply was because I had left on vacation, to arizona,..and didn't want to be connected while there on a girls weekend, but I caught a free moment and logged on...saw what I saw, and took action.
Just cause an anon thinks that they can assume control, doesn't mean that it should stop you from visiting..
So, I'm sorry I didn't log onto the internet right away..I couldn't really tell that many people that I was going out to arizona because my friend reads the blog and it was a surprise visit to see her.
So sorry for it taking an entire day, but, like I said, I wasn't around, I was heading out of town. this is just a misunderstanding and I hope you realize that, and I wish that you'd still be by my blog because I value you, and it's not like I said what the anon said, but you do what you want to do, I just hope you come back to me, because I had nothing to do with all of this-nothing.
I'm rambling, and need to go, hope to hear from you soon..
by the way, it was a bit harsh to knock my husband's manhood when it wasn't him that said what he said, I have a wonderful husband, and we share the duties of our family. Besides, he had thrown out his back, so of course he couldn't shovel the driveway..that hurt my feelings. I'm sorry this is all occuring over a stupid comment from someone that doesn't control my blog. It's my blog...not anyone elses, but I can't "make" you come back to me, but I can hope that you will, and I can hope that you see this is an overreaction and misunderstanding.

My head is clouded with cold medication, I'm going to return to regaining my strength after being gone since last thursday.

Always,
Elizabeth
