Damned Exterminators

March 29, 2009

We got a note on the door last week that the exterminators will be dropping by Tuesday. The note said we have to pull everything out of the kitchen cabinets, closets, bathroom cabinets, etc. Crap.I’ve seen MAYBE 2 or 3 cockroaches since we’ve moved in and I’ve killed the little bastards every time. I haven’t [...]

Blizzard schmizzard

March 28, 2009

Great. We go from weather in the eighties to this. The apartment complex was in the process of changing over from heat to AC. (The pump for the AC is broken and they haven’t gotten it fixed yet we found out yesterday.) That means that they can’t switch back to heat.
Me I’ve survived an [...]

The christmas tree I ordered is gorgeous

March 22, 2009

It arrived Friday, the FedX delivery woman gave me a huge smile and said I’ve got a christmas tree for you lol, with her help I got it in the apartment. Because I’d injured my knee Richard had suggested I wait until he got home to open it and look at it.
As if.
I hobbled [...]

Hobbling around

March 19, 2009

This is getting old fast. Bending my right leg is painful so I guess I’ll stay off of it again today. It’s a pain going to the restroom. Bah.
Oooohh I made something different for dinner last night and we both loved it. It was actually based on a recipe I saw on a low carb [...]

Damn cat!

March 18, 2009

She knocked over the kitchen garbage so I bagged it up, before daylight, and took it out. In the process I wasn’t looking where I was going and I tripped over a fucking speed bump in the parking lot. I had on shorts and a tank top so I have road rash everywhere and my [...]

Woohoo! They’re turning on the air conditioning this week! Seems they’ve been getting some grousing about people being hot. They said it’s hard to make everyone happy and that the people who get cold (once the switch is made from heat to ac it’s not going back I guess) will have to wear a sweater [...]

Price List

March 16, 2009

Don’t know why I didn’t think about doing this before. When I was my Mother’s bookkeeper/secretary/cook/shopper I put together price lists for the different grocery stores we went to regularly. (I did that by using the receipts. Writing down the product and the price paid including sale prices.) That gives you a good idea what [...]

Ordered my Christmas tree

March 15, 2009

I didn’t order the balsam hill tree. I was concerned that by the time they got it back in stock, if they got it back in stock, that the money could be gone. I wore google out looking for another tree. I found another spruce, 7ft tall, 500 less tips, narrow (which would work better [...]

I’ve lost 10 pounds!

March 12, 2009

I got the shock of my life today. I was in the bathroom cleaning or something and I realized I hadn’t weighed myself since we moved. I got the scale out of the closet and stepped on it. Stared at the numbers in shock. Reset it thinking it had to be wrong then stepped on [...]
