It’s Guy Day!

Somewhere this weekend will be the list of Things I did Not Accomplish this week. I’ll probably cry lots. I had many things on my list to do. Didn’t happen. Ah well. And it needed to happen. Who knows. Some of things MIGHT happen.

Probably won’t.

Either way…. I”m getting ready to head to Mechanic Hell.

And it’s Guy Day. Probably the only redeeming thing…

Movie Madness

Let’s talk about something nice!!!!

Radiator and fan are in. I’ve been asked to come in first thing in the morning. Means another day at McDonald’s. Spawn has offered to drop me off there first and he’ll drop it off and walk back. Apparently, my temper upsets him.

We have decided to go across the state line to a state park with a lighthouse on Saturday. Spend the day. It should be a nice day. Explore. I can say I did something fun during my holiday.

I’d like to say I did something constructive today. Nope. I’m still in my jammies. All day. I went to bed early last night, got up at 3:30 was up for an hour – went back to bad and slept until 9 AM and I wouldn’t have woken up then save the cats were walking all over me. Apparently I missed  breakfast for them this morning. My bad. Spawn has asked me to get dressed. He wants Chinese for dinner.

I’m game.

OH lookie. It’s past Wednesday. Time for Movie Madness.

Day 18 – my favorite comedy.

My life. My life is a comedy. Oh. It’s not filmed. oh well. Lessee…

I have two.

 

My now ex husband and I watched this one night. We rented it, I want to say either Spawn was an itty bitty baby or I was VERY pregnant when we rented it. We didn’t go OUT a lot, but we did stay in and watch movies together on a rather medium sized television on a pull out couch. Or we ate on the coffee table and watched. We were a family then, one of those few good memories I have of the marriage.

I remember this one. I laughed so hard, we both laughed so hard, we had to pause the movie several times.

And then there is the end and you just go… ooooooooooooooooooh. And your heart just gets ripped out.

The other one is…

You know, sometimes a girl needs a romantic comedy. My sister and I saw this in the theater. We rolled in the floor.

No really. We fell out of our seats and rolled in the floor. It was gross.

 

Things aren’t showing up. There are just big blank spaces. If it’s not, it’s My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

I have not seen My big Fat Greek Wedding 2. Is it out yet???

Worst spring break ever!

So as we all know, my car is in need of a new radiator and fan. This should NOT be a huge problem and according to the mechanic I spoke with on Monday, it wasn’t. I’ll have the part Wednesday, bring it in in the morning, we’ll have it done. I figured Yay! I can still go home for a few days, or Spawn and I can just work in the house, paint a book case, do up some laundry, unpack, head the State Park across the state line, visit and climb a lighthouse. We’re good to go.

Not hardly.

Dropped the car off yesterday morning as we were requested. it was hunky dory, the lady behind the desk said she’d call in a few hours when it was done. We walked down the road about a mile to the local Mickey Dee’s. Their Wifi sucks and you don’t want to know what eating there does to my blood sugar.

She didn’t call.

And didn’t call.

I called  after lunch and was told, we’ve got the car with the hood up. I’ll let you know.

at 4 PM (remember, I dropped the car off at 8 AM) she calls and says – the part didn’t come on our afternoon truck.

What? I was told you HAD it….

no. Maybe it will come in tomorrow.

We had to walk a mile back – 87 degrees and pollen, folks I do NOT feel well, and she has now copped an attitude. I told her to call me when the part came in as we wasted a day and she responded – I have a better idea, why don’t you call us?

I let the mechanic know I didn’t appreciate it and HE needed to call me when the part came in.

I’ve wasted my entire week over a radiator. I’m this close to calling Toyota, allowing them to give me a loaner and getting a FRICKING LOAN to have that radiator put in. 1150.00 for a radiator, can you believe it???

And oh you know Yelp! is going to hear from me.

Cow.

Mission Accomplished!

Ugly Blue Bookshelf

Is now an ugly yellow bookshelf.

But this is an ugly I can love. I’ll let it dry tonight and tomorrow and when we get back with the car, I can start bringing stuff in! Get the dining room table off the wall and hang pictures in there as well!!!

Took me and Spawn 2 hours to put on 2 coats.

Spring Break – Tuesday Edition

 

Spent yesterday tooling around town. For those who didn’t hear, the quote Toyota gave me was 2 weeks pay. Literally. I found a local mechanic, with good reviews, up the road 2 miles, who quoted me half of that. I can cope. There are a couple of places nearby with internet access where Spawn and I will hang for the day as it’s too far to walk back a forth.

Actually, it ISN’T too far – there just are no sidewalks or paths and after walking that highway with a flat tire 2 weeks ago, I don’t want to take my life into my own hands again any time soon.

And so, my plans today are – TO PAINT THE FUCKING BOOKCASE@!!!

I’ve been saying it now for weeks. If I don’t paint it this week, I’m just going to have an ugly blue bookcase in my dining room. I’d rather not.

In fact, I’d rather…. well….

ahem. Sir Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuy….

*blush*

(NFC Comics is soooooo naughty! LOL! And we know I’m as pure as the driven snow.

I’ve seen snow driven pretty dang hard.)

I bought the kitties a toy. It’s one of those hollow cats that you put treats in and it has a small hole. They have to knock it about to get the treat out and I swear that thing has been all over my living room. Widgette has figured out you have to knock it pretty hard.

For those keeping up, the next installment of Aside from Heaven is up almost everywhere – I just sent it to RASF. It might take it a few days there, but it’s up in all the other places.

Why do I adore this man???

Actually, I adore THIS man…

and this one

(I kinda want to run my tongue through that crease!) And I adore this one as welL!

But THIS man does things to my nether regions!

(Notice I did NOT use the term ‘Inner Goddess’. The Muse informed me if I EVER did that, even as a joke, he would set things afire I would not like!)

*cries* Why you so purty?

I am currently reading the latest Lexi Blake. She has been on a hot streak and with this installment, she keeps upping the ante. *fans self* I really should go paint that bookcase…

 

Really.

He’s trying to make me go paint the bookcase….

Erm

I kinda forgot about Sunday Beefcake. I will take care of that now. Well, not RIGHT now… but now.

My Spring Break has begun and we – Spawn and myself – are heading to the mechanic (or a few mechanics) to get estimates for the radiator and fan. I’m thinking the 900.00 range (as I’ve gotten one estimate for the radiator at 700.00 and when I looked it up on the internet, I got ranges for 375 – 880.)

Edit: Toyota said 1150.00. That’s 2 weeks paycheck, so I called three local mechanics with good reviews. 650.00 2 miles up the road. Guess where I’m heading??? 

I have no clue how I’m going to do this. Really.

I’ve also decided to celebrate my leather fetish this week. Well, yes, I’m reading the new Lexi Blake, but also, I’m in need of lots of Guy…

Behold…

I’ve been writing up a blue streak. All three RA fics have been updated in the last 10 days and I’ll update AFH when I get back from running around. I swear right now, that fic is writing itself. Edward II and the Despensers are such GREAT fodder!!!!

And now – since I need to close shop and head out – without any further ado… Beefcake.

Beefcake. Sparticus edition.

Beefcake – Cowboy edition

Beefcake: Fabio Edition.

Beefcake: Brock Edition

And my favorite….

(Yes yes of course I love his brain as well. He’s the total package!)

Off to see how much the car is going to set me back.

Dammit

Keith Emerson of Emerson Lake and Palmer has passed away.

Dammit.

I finished my brother’s beanie. I so very much HATE it. Really. Anything I make out of this yarn, I dislike. (Peaches and Cream) which is sad as it’s a very nice cotton. I’m thinking I”m looking at a load of unadorned dishcloths. (It doesn’t show pattern very well.)

I’m all upset. Now I have to find a different yarn to make his beanie in. I’m just going to weave the ends in and send the damn thing to Goodwill. Really don’t like.

My radiator has a leak and has shorted out one of radiator fans. I’m seeing a loan from the Credit Union in my near future. Dammit. I don’t think I’m going to get to go home this week.

NOT! How I wanted to start my Spring Vacay!!!

IT’S GUUUUUUUUUUY DAY!!!!!

And my Spring break officially starts in 7.5 hours!!!! Meaning a whole WEEK and two weekends of GUY DAY!!!!

Or Feudal Friday! Yeppers!!!!

Are you ready????

The Stubble of Doom

The  Glare of Doom

The Guyliner of Doom

The Snarl of Doom

The Peaches of Doom… (or buns of steel)

The Smirk of Doom

Smirk of Doom part 2

Spring break and other oddities.

And movie stuff.

As of 4 PM tomorrow – that would be 4PM GuyDay – my Spring break begins! And then we have 8 weeks of school left. Maybe 7. Nope. 8 weeks.

Our kids are going berserk. Even my GOOD classes this week have been horrid. And my bad classes??? Please. I am currently walking wounded. Yes. That’s what I said. Walking. Wounded. Don’t ask. It’s damned embarrassing. And what’s more embarrassing is one my of my little ones told me if that happened again (what caused me to become wounded) he would personally hit the person or persons who caused me to be… well… wounded.

My knight in shining armor is 3 feet tall. Yes. Very embarrassed.

4 PM tomorrow can NOT come soon enough.

My Muses are screaming, I need to unpack and my mother wants me home for spring break and home for Easter – the 2 do not coincide. Go figure.

Either way and anyhow, it is now time for this weeks installment of Movie Madness.

Day huh? Favorite drama.

I had a hard time with this one – hence why I’m posting late. I’m not normally a drama kinda person. But there is one….

Snowcake. Starring Alan Rickman and Sigourney Weaver. Alan has done several things that are near and dear to me for personal reasons. Something the Lord Made came in a close second. For those who don’t know, Something the Lord Made is based on the true story of the development of the BT Shunt – the surgery that saved my son’s life as an infant. Alan played one of the doctors  who developed the proceedure. But I’m also in love with SnowCake, which involved a man who gives a young woman a lift, only to be in a horrific accident (not his fault) in which she dies. He breaks the news to her mother.

Unaware that her mother is autistic.

 

This one I enjoyed and really should sit down and watch again. At some point, I’m going to have an Alan Rickman marathon – probably this summer.

Oh and for those who didn’t know, I updated The Shepherd this week as well as Raising Nemo.

Lovely

Nasty ugly rant. Please skip. (Concerns The Crucible. No really please skip!)
