perhaps positive thinking and the fishin fairy brought me some luck today ?

hello again peoples... yup-- twofer humpday. don't miss the below post, or you'll really miss somethin special :)) skip on down after this one and have a bit of eye candy :))

but for now, how bout just a quick rundown of my day? -- first , i have to get somethin off my chest. the new 'staples-commercial? makes me want to vomit. wow-that's-a-low-price!!! wow- kill-me-now--bleh!!!

ok. i feel better now. so . what'd y'all do today? out here? turned out to be a beautiful day. i think i even have a touch of a sunburn. i took soulkid to a drive thru this mornin after i posted, then took her back home, packed up the fishin gear, and off i went--- yup- i really did, i went fishin. first time in i'm not sure how long. but it feels like forever since i have even been outside. it's ridiculous. this brown recluse- slothism? i really don't like it as much as i pretend -- you know that already tho- dontchya?

so. ya wanna see what the sloth drug in? i wish it coulda been a better fishin day-- well, it actually was a gorgeous day, and i loved bein out in the sun doing what i love to do--- so , no- i'm not complainin - one bit...

i fished all three fishin holes-- the creek , my pond, and soulmans pond --- i was out all day -- maybe from like 1030 or 11 until about 4:00 - ish. and man i tell ya-- i'm so sore and tired and hungry -- i could beckon a nurse fairy -- spose i'll hunt one down later. not today tho-- i think i'm shuttin this down soon as i'm done and callin it a day.

so. anyhow-- here's some delicious bass for ya--- but nope-- for those who don't know-- it's catch and release for us. never take anything home . they always go back where they came from.

[ here is the first and very welcomed fishy of the day ]

[same fish-different angle ]

[ and here we have fishy # 2 - still chompin on his jig ]

[ just tossed these in to show donna my single rose-- grew a pal this year ]

and, last but surely not the last time :))

i happened to catch the moment several nights ago
ummm... sleep-cookin, at it's very best !
steak, eggs, and grits !
that's talent !

i even remember eatin it !!!
the cookin part is a little fuzzy :((

happiest of humpdays to you !

it's official- i'm sick

mornin peeples , and peeplettes,
hope all's well, and y'alls well where you are...

i did keep my dr. appointment yesterday. i had no choice really. hubby sort of insisted i go, and i will admit , i was a bit concerned that i -- who just about never runs a temp, had been runnin a temp for two days. so, i did go in. i pretty much had all the symptoms that the nyquil commercials ramble off, and a couple more. but no pukin -- or other reversal of other 'things'. :P bleh. you know what i mean. (sorry)
so anyhow. the doc tested me for swine flu. not something they do on everybody -- but due to the immune thing, he did it anyhow (i usually have a woman doc, but she was out for the week-- figures).. so-- thank God, that only took a couple minutes to come back-- NEG :)) -- and then i got a flu shot -- which i never get. but if you recall.. last year i got the flu--- i ended up in addisons crisis-- and had a seizure -- with no explanation. but with a BP of 60 over 40 and dehydration so severe that i couldn't even walk? it's a possibility that was the culprit. so i got stuck and left with rx's and a diagnosis of the wonderful bronchitis. which is something i usually end up having at least once a year -- oddly around this time. if not for the temperature -- i wouldn't have caught it this early -- i'm usually near bedridden before i know i'm sick. so hopefully catching it this early i won't get as sick as i usually do. (knock on wood)

other than that? not much else to report.

both cats are now free to roam, and they love it. they love to sit in the office window, and look out at the world. i spose i will need to get a second litter box until they figure out where to "go" now. i think they may be a little confused for a couple days-- since everything was moved to the master bathroom for the last week or so. ugh. these cats are still gonna kill me. their feet still hurt, so i don't think they'll be attempting to scratch anything yet-- but when they do-- i'll be laughin at em, and posting pix.
i know-- i am mean. but you know i love em. i would have never paid for the surgery if i didn't.

hope you all are healthy and happy in your worlds today

i'll be tryin to make some rounds after i take my child to school-

me and julio down by the schoolyard :))

y'all know you love that song!!! :)) and i know you will have it in your head all day long. unfortunately, so will i.

anyhow, it makes me smile. don't ask me why, it just does.

so. smocha emailed me a couple of my wedding pix. how kind . now i don't have to endure the time to dig up vimeo passwords, and y'all don't have to endure the video i made on our 15th anniversary. altho.. it wasn't bad. just kinda long.
so, here's our wedding day 17 years ago. my my how we change eh?



it honestly was one of the happiest days of my life. the only thing comparable is seeing my children for the first time. i can't think of any three happier days. i'm sure they exist --- somewhere in the recesses of my senile mind.

so. what now? oh. a couple of you asked if we did anything for our anniversary. the word "romantic" was even mentioned. HAHAHAHA!!! what's that mean?
we DID almost forget all about it. just like mary almost did. just too much stuff goin on. no cards, no plans, no nuthin. i woke up first-- as usual. i was sittin in my office-- working on my bank account -- some of you know i do that almost daily-- i think it may be an OCD thing. i'm not sure. i do it obsessively. anyhow, i'm in here payin bills, checkin balances, etc. when soulman wakes up, and does his usual thing on a day off--- sits in the livin room and turns on the boob tube. (after comin in here with a good mornin kiss-- neither of us mention our anniversary).
i think at least a half hour passed, when he says--- "it's july 1st." --- no significance to our AV -- more of a countdown to closing and moving into our new house.
that's when i say -- " i KNOW, it's our anniversary!"
we were both like "oh crap!" --
it was kind of funny, because we had both been thinking about it a couple days before-- but there we were the morning of-- and not a thought of it--yet.
we laughed about that-- had a AV hug and kiss, talked a few minutes, and sort of just went back to what we were doing before.
bad thing? or two? by the time i finished with the bills and crap--- i had another damn migraine. it had been trying to get me all morning, but it was now finally full blown. i still hadn't picked up my refill of imitrex. soulkid woke up with the idea that we were going to the mall immediately-- i did tell her that we would go-- but how was i to know i would feel like that?? of course i didn't. when i told her i wasn't sure yet, because i had a bad headache-- she had some remark... and soulman jumped in on her... and things got out of hand. so i went to my room, shut the door, and locked the world away. when things settled down he went and got my rx, and mowed the lawn. :)) while soulkid sulked thinking her world had ended.
it took several hours for my headache to ease up-- which is unusual with imitrex-- it usually works very well. but when i got up-- everything and everyone was in better moods, and soulman asked if i wanted to go to a movie-- if not, he would take soulkid to the mall. i said i would go. so we all went to the mall -- i waited in the car though -- they were in there for about half an hour or so-- but that was half an hour i wasn't about to spend in there feeling bad. not AS bad, but not great either.
so we ended up goin to one of those restraunt -- i can NEVER spell that word--
theaters and watched "hangover". OMG we laughed. that is a hilarious movie.
after that , we came home, and again all went our seperate ways-- me to my office-- soulman to his x-box live, and soulkid to her phone.
if that is romance, after 17 years... it was fine by me.
but i'll take a raincheck, for a day we don't have soulkid, and a migraine. or an x-box.
it may be a couple years, but someday she'll go to college, he'll outgrow the xbox, and perhaps, if i'm lucky, they'll find a cure for "soul-syndrome". :))

ok-- i gots to go-- believe it or not, i don't feel too awful crappy at the moment-- so i best take advantage of that and get some work done.

hope you all are happy in your worlds today--

so much for havin a routine

mornin folks..

it's 555 a.m. i reckon that's better than 333 huh. one thing about that tho? it's alarm hell time around here. and aside from that, i have only been up for about ten minutes. which also means, i haven't had any time to wake up , or think about anything yet. all i've done is put sushi out and in, get coffee, and get settled in on the computer. and listen to hubbys' alarm go off about four times. ugh. i'm still tired.
my whole routine is off lately. morning and night. for two weeks or so. not sure why. several reasons i guess. (oh great, now soulkids alarm begins.) lovely. i don't have snooze on my alarm. if i miss my alarm-- i miss it. there is no -- five or six times for me. but i usually get up before it goes off anyhow.

anyways. my routine? wth? early to bed , early to rise, smoke and choke, chat online, cruise, do what i need to do, want to do, have to do, get home in time for the child, and hubby, and most days .. look and feel like i've accomplished something.

lately... NOT. my sleep habits are all kindsa screwed up -- some nights in bed by 10-- some im up til 12 or 1-- some days up at 330 some up at 530 ish. ugh. some days i nap some i don't.

and yesterday-- omg. the night before.. i had a new muscle relaxer from the doc. it said take at bedtime-- so i did. i thought it was weird to take it at bedtime , cuz its not bedtime that i need to not be in pain, but i did bedtime anyhow-- but damn man -- i felt drugged all damn day long. i got deep into some paperwork stuff. i drug out my file cabinet-- looking for my VA loan .. for a house.... it's here somewhere, but i haven't seen it for years. anyhow --- it was about noon before i got the first file box sorted and organized-- it looks mahvelous btw, and i found stuff i haven't seen in years-- but of course not what i was lookin for. but by the time i got thru that file box.. i was starved. so i took a break. to eat. all i ate was a salad. after that i got of course got tired. somethin about me and lunch. i still don't get it. so i leaned back in the chair, and i was out. i woke up when soulkid got home at 330 , she was walkin in the door. she was trying to talk to me-- and i could NOT stay awake for nothin, i kept tryin to wake up. but could not. next thing i knew-- it was after 6 pm ! i woke up-- after several more failed attempts. i finally got up-- and i didn't see her-- or either of the dogs. hubby wasn't home from work yet. i got up and looked for (them). i was afraid she had gone somewhere, and maybe let the dogs out.
when i checked.. i found the dogs-- and soulkid was also asleep--in her bed.


i think the heat-- and the fact that everyone was up til after 1 the night before had something to do with it.
but that pill i took , ugh. usually i need to double dose on just about anything for it to even do it's minimal job.. much less kick my butt... now im afraid to even take it again-- even though it did make my neck feel better. i just can't win ya know. not when it comes to meds, docs and that kinda thing.

so anyways. i was at least somewhat alert and alive when soulman got home about 8ish last night. and we watched recorded american idol and hells kitchen. which were both good. only made me feel like a fool... cuz when i posted about these shows the other day-- i said ai was over -- like last week.. and it's not -- til tonight. hmm. brain dead much?
i still don't want david cook to win it-- and i don't think he will. but that's ok.

welp-- i guess that's about it-- for my boring morning.
i'll let ya know if anything interesting happens..and i'll be cruisin and catchin up after i get caught up with stuff here-and everyone is gone.

happpy humpday!

it's 10 a.m. do you know where my motivation is?

ugh boy--- look at the time....

i am sooo unmotivated today. it's just embarrassing. this is the first day that i have been totally alone in four days. and the first day in i don't know how many that i haven't had an appointment, or felt like hell. (one of the two).
i have several things that i should be doing.. or could be doing.. or even a few that i MUST be doing. am i ? ummmm NO. i'm not even cleaned up or changed yet. i just may not either. at this point in time, i am quite comfortable. sittin here in total silence. except for the clicking of the keyboard of course. i have been told that i type too loud. i think that may true.. but i don't really care.
so anyhow. yep. i had plans to clean up my sty today. soulman has been off work for a few days. he worked on sunday for a few hours, but aside from that has basically been off since friday. i think he worked four hours sunday. and i haven't been feeling too great for -- i don't know how long. since before i went out of town, i know that much. but today, i feel ok. i should take advantage of it and get caught up on chores and errands.. but on days that i have had a stretch of NOT having alone time.. i just kinda like to not do much. i like the quiet. and the feeling of not feeling like i should be doing something.. or talking or stuff like that. ya know.
so anyhow-- nooop.. not feelin too motivated right now. hopefully i will get that way later though.. with enough time to spare before anyone gets home. i hate it when they know i haven't done anything but sit on my arse all day. :)) (unless i'm sick or in pain.. then they understand... but otherwise-- i feel bad for it)

so anyways---- i got a lot of comments on yesterdays post. what a couple of losers eh? i couldn't believe the guy who caused the wreck didn't even attempt to help the lady in the car. and i do wonder if the woman's hubby went to the hospital. i imagine he had to have--at least to take her home. right? her car wasn't drivable.. and i wonder if he was mad about that.

i was surprised at how fast and bad the air bag bruised her chest. has anyone had that happen? or seen it? she's lucky she wasn't goin faster. at her age she could have been really hurt. i think she was ok though. but she was so upset--she may have been hurt more than she thought. i hope not though. i'm sure her husband isn't one to take very good care of her at home.

anyhow-- i obviously don't have much to talk about today. not a whole lot happenin around here.

all my tv shows are coming to an end-- i don't know what i will do with my evenings after this week. or is it next week? maybe i will have to fish til nightfall now? there is an evening tournament at a nearby lake .. the entry fee isn't very much. soulman and i have talked about entering it together. that would be fun. i think it is from like 6 to 9 or something. i'm not sure of the number of boats--or the payout for winning. but it would be fun to fish together. it's on wed nights i think. i haven't paid much attention to it, cuz it hasn't been much of an option lately cuz of some med issues with me... but like i said, that is seeming to pass lately. i'm glad of that too. i have no idea what it is or was.. but i was pretty worried for a while. not sure if i need to be concerned anymore. but i guess i'll find out in a day or two when the ct results come back.

oh-- if you're wonderin.. my shows i watch.. ?? american idol..survivor..and hells' kitchen...
do any of y'all watch any of them???

survivor just ended.. and the one i wanted to win, did not. :((

american idol, ends tonight--- my fave is david cook-- i do not want him to win.. it is best for him..and his fans if he doesnt get locked into a AI contract-- and gets to move right out like bo bice-and daughtry.. do you agree? i think he is ready--and i think he is awesome! i'm definitely buying his cd-- and i think ai will ruin him, and make him sing a bunch of brady bunch type songs. he's too good for that.

as for david A.. he should win.. he is young, and it would be good for him to win.. he does the ai style better, more ballad type--agree? he's just more what they want i think.
as for that freakin sayesha? i DESPISE her!!! she makes me want to vomit every time i even look at her, much less hear her . ugh. GAG PUKE WRETCH. not to mention, i believe wholeheartedly, that she knows someone on the inside that has pushed her through. i just can't stand her overconfident , non-good-singin self. ERG.

and hells kitchen... i LOVE it, and i will cry when its over. not really. but i will miss it. that show makes me laugh. i wish they didn't edit it. it would be so much more funnier. and why did ramsey stop sayin "donkay" i love that.

welp-- i reckon i'm done rambling...

hope y'all have happy days today--
i spose i'll be lazy til i can't take it anymore. hopefully i'll accomplish at least something productive.

WTH is WRONG with blogger???

i keep trying to leave comments--- yes call me a glutton for punishment--

but everywhere i go-- blogger eats them ALL.... wth??? anybody else havin this problem??
or is it cuz i am ME???
just askin.

still don't know nuthin

well, it's still a wait and see game. but the doc did seem to know what he was doing.. for once.

i have a MRI and a EEG scheduled for monday. no driving before then..and maybe after. it's wait and see.

it's possible that it was the flu etc, that caused the seizure-- but it's possible that it's more. but i aint goin there. yet.

the guy did at least understand that i AM in pain, and di rx some pain meds-- unlike the other docs i asked for meds. geesh. wth is it with docs these days?? i asked him once, he asked where it hurt, i told him , and he wrote a very generous script. phew.

he also explained why i am sleeping so much-- basically my brain exploded. not really, but it overloded itself or something like that. it just kinda shortcircuited or something ..i dont remember how he said it...but it should be back to normal soon. either way-- i am pretty tired again right now, and about to go to bed. we have only been home about half an hour. :((

surely this will end ?

anyhow.. that's my update.. i won't have any results prolly til tuesday?? not sure.

well.. i hope you all are havin good days---
i'll check around on ya after my nap! :))

my laptop is humming a tune i do not know

what the hell? i have some stupid anti-virus thing on here, and it is constantly updating. i do mean constantly. ok.. not constantly.. but very frequently. and it is very frustrating... irritating even. like a bad rash. i finally took out my wrath on hubby this morning.. as if it were his fault that i have some sort of obsessive compulsive virus scan on my computer. he said he would look at it later. so hopefully he can time it to do it's damned updating... when i am not updating. erg.

so anyhow. today is friday. all that means to me is a).. it is one of my buddies favorite days... and b).. the soul clan will be home for a couple days--again---already. hmmmm. i suppose that means i need to include a C now. c) since the clan will be here again, already, this means that i need to clean my sty. i have fallen behind this passed couple or four days.. just as i was beginning to brag on how well i was doing with the place. i guess i totally exhausted myself the other day clearing out my crap room, and have been pretty damn sore ever since. then yesterday i had a lot of outside errands to catch up on, and by the time i got home--- i was toast. i did nothing. i even called soulman and had him bring some mcdonalds home.

so.... i need to pay my five day late rent today... i suppose i will have to mail it overnight mail. this is our first rent payment-- and here it is late. not the only late bill going out this week. wth is wrong with me? i spent a few hours yesterday morning FINALLY sorting my bills and mail stackage. omg. i was truly in bill hell. i even had a two MONTH old water bill from my OTHER house we just moved from. i never pay my utilities late. other things i forget about or whatever... but my utilities and rent??? i think i'm just gettin altzheimers . do they have tests for that? my memory is shot. worse than ever lately. maybe it wasn't the meds. maybe i'm just really losin it.
or maybe i just don't give a damn scarlet.

but anyhow... i do have things that i need to get caught up on. so i best be runnin along. :))

hope you all have happy fridays... and happier weekends !

i shall return
