rn, war, my last bill for central california home was 357--double what it was the month before! and we were up north for over a week of that month! i saw the pg&e reader at my new house yesterday and begged him to 'measure my meter lightly'!! what sucks is to pay util's on two homes. the new house, we use only the woodstove for heat, but everything else is electric. i hope this bill isn't much over 100 dollars, but nothing will surprise me. the better we are at trying to save and they raise the prices anyway, so it's impossible to get ahead or save anything. gorgeous pic, landi! i plan to go home tomorrow since it looks (at least from the last weather report, which changes drastically from one hour to the next) like we will be having some sunny days in the low 40's, with nights in the low 30's. three days ago, they predicted snow at 2,000 ft for today. then no snow. then it snowed 3 inches yesterday about an hour after it was totally blue and fairly warm out. hard to know what's up, but i am planning on going home for 3 days. dh called and told me a couple is coming from the bay area (san jose or san francisco) to see the house at 11:00 tomorrow morning. he will be up all night finishing the floor repairs. he had to buy brand new hardwood and take up about a 4x6 foot area of the hallway. now he has to rent a huge sander to blend the old with the new and then put the finish on it. he will probably be up all night. let's hope his hard work and my prayers pay off and that this person makes an offer! have a good one, all!

RN, Vacanick, if you can call dumping a bunch of stuff into the bread machine and turning it on "baking" then okay.

Right now, I really want one of those bread machines! I bet your house smells divine right now! RN, ETA I have a full-size bread machine, too, but I hardly ever use it and then usually just to make the dough so I can form it into rolls for the holidays.

RN, Mamie, here's the bread machine I use. It makes a small loaf that's perfect for me since I live alone. I actually made it this morning, so the good smell is gone, but the taste is great!

Right now, in my house using a bread machine would be considered baking! LOL!! I'm so not a cook, so anything counts! Right now, my son is so excited because he's going to "Monster Jam" this weekend! Ah 9 year old boys!!!!

Right now, I would need one big enough to bake for 4 of us. My husband's boss was moving and gave us his but it didn't work! I was so disappointed. I'll just have to go and buy one myself. Right now, I hope Nicholas has tons of fun!

RN I am in SUCH A GOOD MOOD!!! I managed to track down an old best friend of mine. It was kinda funny how it all happened. I was playing a game the other day, and my friend Zach (Autumn's ex), sent me a link. I clicked on it, and all of a sudden, up pops a picture of Autumn and her husband. I was like, HOLY *bleep*! He had been real bored and started googling people. This led me to to attempt to find some way to contact her. Nothing I googled worked. Finally, I came across an email I got over three years ago with pictures of her daughter when she was born. It had her parents' email address in it. I took a stab at faith and sent an email. Tonight, I got an email back! I was lucky that they got it, cuz that email address is their genaric fwd/spam email address. Thankfully my email didn't get lost. Anyhow, Cate, Autumn's mom gave me her information and filled me in and after I replied to her, I gave Autumn a call. She was SOO happy to hear from me and we talked for a good hour. It was wonderful!! I pray that we'll be able to keep in better touch now!!

RN, Saxy, that's great. That happened to me a little over a year ago. I had a friend in high school who was like a brother and we had not seen each other since graduation. Many times over the years I had taken a stab at finding him and even found his mom at point but she never returned my call. Then, one day I was tooling around on Classmates.com and, lo and behold, his brother had joined. A few e-mails and phone calls later, Mark and I were in touch and have talked on the phone just about every weekend since.

RN, ever have one of those days? first, my poor old dog's back legs went out so bad i had to carry him outside in the snow and ice for him to relieve himself. he weighs 75 pounds. then i had to dig my sister's car out for her to go back home. then i decided to take a shower and i stepped onto the rubber grip mat that is supposed to keep you from slipping and it was like stepping on a banana peel. i put my left leg on it, right leg slammed into the outside of the tub, i grabbed the doorframe to keep myself upright and wrenched my shoulder. i have a huge knot and bruise below my right knee. i can barely lift my right arm. then the tub didn't drain. usually, there is no standing water when i take a shower. after about 20 minutes, i heard a gurgle and it drained. i use the bathroom an hour later and the toilet overflows. (thank God we have two bathrooms!). then i use the microwave to heat some chili and after 7 minutes on high and it still being room temp, i figure out the microwave isn't working. the fridge went out a couple of days ago and i have to put things out in the snow. dh got mad at me for something--not sure what--and hung up on me. (i think he is stressed over having to basically re-do the hardwood floor in the entry back home...) i was supposed to go home tomorrow, but they could not give me a time for the plumber. i tried to DVR 'dancing with the stars' for my dd and it took itself off of dancing with the stars and started taping another channel halfway through. other than that, day went okay.

Right now I'm overjoyed at the thought of having to empty a bucket every 20 - 30 minutes until my husband finally gets home. We noticed Wed night that somebody - we think Zippy cuz he's in the chewing stage that cats get into at around 8 months - bit the water line to the ice machine. And of course it has to be the line that runs from the fridge down under the house. No basement, just a crawlspace. So my wonderful husband temp fixes it. No problem, bucket has to be emptied every 16 hours or so. He works Bingo on Thursday so had no time to get what he needed. He decides to "fix" it when he got home last night around 10:30 [still no parts to fix it with - "I can fix it w/o new parts!"]. This morning I get up at the ungodly hour of 5:30 planning on taking him to work and going shopping then meeting him at 1 for his dr appointment then going to Smokey Bones for supper. What do I find? Water everywhere. Figured ok so 7 hours is a little long, take hubby to work then so a little shopping, meet him for dr appointment and supper, quick stop at Home Depot which is right next to Smokey Bones, then home to fix the line. Then back to town to get groceries because we are out of almost everything. Yeah right. Went to empty it at 6:00 before we left and it was almost overflowing again. And my husband had the nerve to ask me what was for supper on his way out the door. Think I'll put an ad in the paper selling my husband and kitten. But it has to wait because the alarm just went off - has been 30 minutes since I dumped it so off I go.
