sunday soul-stuff and stuff



hiya folks--
how are y'all on this fine sunday morn? me? senile, as usual. i didn't even know it was sunday, til i just checked so i would know what day to say on this post. my brain is fried. i don't know if it's a permanent and worsening condition. or if it's temporary, and hopefully , eventually, cutting back, or quitting smoking- and perhaps getting outside, might help. my brain is literally starved for oxygen. we all know the many problems that can cause.
if anyone remembers? after the lung clot ordeal? i seriously had some permanent, stupidity after that. subtle things, but really- it was immediately after that-- and to this day -- i still have problems with simple things, like spelling, talking, forming sentences, of course remembering -- which was always an issue - but it got even worse after that. i don't know guys . but everything is deteriorating even more.
example? -- my friggin bills and bank stuff -- number one. i swear-- not a single bill this month has been paid on time this month. not one. and one of them, the boat storage?? 16 days late--- totally slipped my mind!!! OMG. this and the spending spree? WTH? not me. y'all know. it's not me to do these things. we would go without groceries or gas before i would pay a bill late. i would stay in the house and not go anywhere-- before dropping cash the way i just did. i didn't pull that kinda crap when i was single and could do it without causing problems.

just don't know what to say for myself. except that hey. no permanent damage. save for the guilt and the kicking of my own ass. forever.
oh -- and the fact that if not for this stuff? i would be able to replace my coffee pot !!!!
(machine- maker-- whatever ya call it). i do not know why i am cursed in the way of coffee makers, but y'all know i am. our coffee maker that we have owned maybe less than 6 months -- is a complete and utter POS! not only do i have to wait for my pain pill to kick in before i can make coffee-- really, for some reason it is just heavy to me and ya have to hold and carry and insert this 'tray of water' that feels like it weighs ten pounds, from the sink back into the machine-- ugh. i don't know-- but not only that-- once ya do get it in, the f'n thing not only leaks--- it dumps water all over the frickin counter while it makes coffee-- for five or so minutes. so ya gotta put a towel -- or whatever is handy at the time under it so the entire counter top doesn't flood. while the coffee makes.
trust me folks, it ust doesn't make for a relaxing first cuppa. it doesn't. hubby used to always pre-set the timer and i would wake up to coffee ever day-- but now he can't do that-- or ALL the water would drain out onto the counter over-night.
this shit only happens cuz i am ME. you know that right?
i need a coffee fairy. i'll find one shortly. so check back later -- y'all know ya love the fairies :))

wow-- who peed in y wheaties? i wonder that too. could this be all about the crappy coffee maker? maybe. i'm the only one up here so far. could i possibly piss my own self off this much? well i spose i could.

so. how bout i tell ya bout the movie we went and saw last night? it wasn't even planned to go out last night-- til soulkid pipes up with soulkid 2 is spendin the night and we need a ride to the farthest mall from the house-- daddy please take us. hmmm. i said don't even ask him. but of course she did. and of course he just can't say no to daddys little girl. so i told him i'd go with and we could see a movie while they kicked around the mall for a couple hours. so we went and saw THIS:


and i have no regrets.
it was sooo funny. if you aren't married -- for any length of time-
you may not find it as funny as we did-- or someone who has been.
but it was just funny. i'm sure it's funny to other folks too- but the boring, same ole same ole - long time married thing -- just adds the -i can relate - thing to it.
and it's good.
and you'll laugh.
a lot.
so go see it.

so. after that we came home. i watched a couple UFC fights on the telly with me hubby, then i went to bed. i was so tired - it wasn't real late, maybe 10 or so, but it felt like midnight. and y'all know i need my beauty rest :))

so anyhow-- what are y'all up to today?
hope you're dry and warm today in your worlds...
it's rainin here - and dark and icky... third or fourth day runnin. i can't like it.

catchy'all laterz-

Hi Soul,

Am I first?!

Sweetie, you know I can commiserate...everything except the coffee maker, coz I don't like coffee...but your description of the procedure is just hilarious!

You know, reading this brought back a memory and makes me wonder...when my oldest left home and moved to college, I went through a terrible period in which I went on a spending spree, spending money frivolously and without regard to my bank account, then forgot to pay bills...for the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE. I also accidentally deposited my money into my savings account, instead of checking, so I had four overdraft charges, again for the FIRST TIME EVER, yep, because I wrote checks on my checking account. Stupid stuff like that. Hmmm.

Date Night. LOVED IT! We saw it last weekend - I did not expect it to be anything more than a longer and less funny version of the trailer - but it was terrific! Funny, believable, and yes, I agree with you about the very accurate perspective of long time marriage.

We are having a cool spell - the big city wide yard sale was yesterday, so I sat outside for five hours, in sweats, coat, scarf, and covered with a quilt, all to make a couple hundred dollars. How cold was it? Oh, 60 something. Yeah, I'm cold blooded. Then we actually had frost last night. So naturally, this is the weekend Fred decided he'd take the front door off and restain and varnish it. So now here I sit in flannel PJs, my heavy robe, covered with a heavy throw, shivering while I write this.

Fred just found Across the Universe on tv...they have chopped it to pieces for tv...I hate it when they do that. Oh well, at least it's better than the loud annoying preacher he usually has on at this hour.

Hang in there, Soul. We'll get through this!

Hey!
Your coffee maker is leaking because you are not getting your pot correctly on the burner. I had this problem for six months before figuring it out:( I have to put it on and then turn the handle a little to the right. The holes are not matching up... ok, THAT does not sound right;)
Anyway, good luck. Let me know how it goes!!!

Rainy here too...
Give the bills to Soulman...It would take them off of you.
I hate my coffeemaker as well...Oh well, tomorrow's Monday...Get up and do it again day.
Have a good one!

Life is short and there are enough things in the world to annoy us. So... heave the darn coffee pot out and get you another one. Why put up with it? Really? We have a Cuisinart and LOVE it. And it's about 5 years old. Going strong and doesn't pee all over the counter. With a timer and everything.

And YES, I do call the half-bath that is designated for guests as "powder room"! So does DH! That's what it IS!!! Guests don't get up and say, gee I've got to use the toilet. No - they say, I'm going to the powder room! Try raising that little pinkie up in the air every now and then and you'd be AMAZED as how much better you talk! Google it about the origin of the terminology, LOL!

Now, about that bill paying stuff. I thought your daughter was going to take over the bookkeeping! You really need to fire yourself from this task.

We don't have a lot of luck with coffee pots either. Maybe some day they'll build one for true coffee connoisseurs.

Today has been mostly lazy and sucky but at least the sun was shining!

Time for a new pot, huh?

My day was busy. What else is new? Today I'll relax a little. And you?
