RN, max, i colored you happy, but i want you to know, i went outside the lines a lot!

RN, abby, i sometimes feel like i'm in the money pit, too! did i mention that the last time i opened the sliding screen door, it came all the way off? and it won't fit back in the track. i haven't broken a toilet or tub in 8 days. most of the dog poop should come off my boots. the airbed has a leak, and one storage shed does, too. i only fell 3 feet from the ladder when i climbed it to brush the snow off the dish on the roof so my tv would work for 'dancing with the stars'. i thought i was going to see stars, but i only fell a few rungs. i paid the water bill up here 3 weeks ago and haven't seen it debited yet. it was the only thing i ever mailed out from the box up here.
i'll keep you posted on my adventures!
oh, and for the record, if you are trying to go across a snowy driveway, open the garage door in advance in case you actually DO make it and you end up 'sliding into home'...

RN, do y'all remember that old movie called, "if it's tuesday, this must be belgium"? well, when i wake up in the morning, if i'm in a flat airbed and have a bruise on my downside, i'm up north! if i have two large cats cutting off my circulation, i must be down south.
speaking of bruises, the one from where i slipped in the tub last week is now only about 3x5 inches and it's purple and green. not to be outdone, i smacked my left knee into a pile of wood when i was stacking oak firewood. not as good as my right leg, but the day is young yet.

RN, abby, that would be the south house. the floor kept coming up there! and it always seemed to be just when people were coming to see the house. dh or i would be frantically trying to reglue wood floor sections and praying something didn't pop up elsewhere when potential buyers were there.
up north, we do have an outside light on the side of the attached garage that seems to have no switch to it. we have searched everywhere and prior owners have no idea, either. so dh unscrewed the bulb to where it almost falls off. this light stayed on fulltime with the bulb screwed all the way in. with it barely screwed in, it just goes on from dusk to dawn. tabby scratches head...it shouldn't work at all!!!

RN, I used a coupon code found at http://techbargains.com and that, combined with current deals on Dell.com for home systems got me a $1,339 system (with 19" UltraSharp flat panel monitor, 1GB memory, and 160GB DataSafe hard drive) for only $961.30, which includes next-day shipping.

RN, Tabby, you can go outside the lines all you like! :-)

Oh, and RN, I'm having dinner and it's great. Teriyaki meatballs I got a Costco today (made from chicken and turkey), brown rice, and steamed broccoli & carrots. YUMMY! :-) :-) :-)

RN, max, thanks for the heads up on the teriyaki meatballs from costco. i love most costco things, but having someone try something already and say it's great really helps. especially since you have to buy in bulk. what if you don't like what it is? you have to dislike it a lot until it's gone?!
my sister made everyone laugh at the dinner table years ago. we were talking about where to go for what item. i mentioned i heard that italian gold was tops, and QVC really was a good place to purchase it for a good price, my mom mentioned something about a discount airline, and then my sister said something about the great ribs at costco. "at costco, no one can beat their meat." well, all the grownups fell down laughing while the little kids went, "huh?"

RN, I'm laughing at Tabby's sister's Costco comment! :-) They made it hard to resist the meatballs today - they had a big display where they were passing out samples of the various different flavors. No worries about whether you liked them or not! If they hadn't had that, I probably would have passed them up for the same reason Tabby mentioned. :-)

RN, dh and dd made it up here about 7:00. it was starting to snow already. dh had to see his snowblower, still parked (heavily) in the suburban before he kissed me hello. at least he didn't kiss the snowblower. i think he might have drooled, however.
should wake up to a ton or 12 of snow. i'm sleepin' in! i always sleep better when i am not alone. let someone else worry about (or protect me from) the strange night noises. :-)
dd gave me big hugs and keeps kissing me. how sweet!

Right now, I'm sitting here all teary-eyed watching my little girl play in her jammies. She is just so lovable, hugable and kissable...I am so blessed to be her mom

RN, I think Tabby's dd is sweet too

RN, I am excited about going to a Orchid show and sale today at the mall. The papers tells me orchids are easier to grow and maintain then you think. I hope they are right as I am planning on coming home with some.

RN I want to tell Tabbyking that I've just caught up on her posts for the month of January and she had me in stitches with her country house stories. Tebs, I'm happy for you having your country house and I'll keep positive thoughts going that your southern house will soon sell. Spring is around the corner and that's when most get hot and heavy on buying homes...so I'll be thinking of you!

Right now I could go for some Starbucks! I'm procrastinating cleaning my fishtanks. I'm surprised my fish are still alive in there. It's alarming, really.

Right now, are you sure that they are alive? Or maybe in the algae, they have spawned mutants.
