Zee reads and other oddities

Look at  this!

She’s ASLEEP! What is it about my shoes??? Lord Thunderbutt will stick his head as far down my tennis shoes as he can get!

My car is SUPPOSED to be done tomorrow. Thing is going to cost me $500.00. We’re going to be eating a lot of beans the next 2 weeks. I told Spawn IF it’s done, when he comes to get me, we are going to the beach for a walk. We’re within 20 minutes of it and we need it. Badly.

Oh. Said transmission pan…. holy cats!

That’s the leaking…

And that’s the damage. I’m PRAYING there isn’t more damage to the transmission. I can’t afford it. I can’t afford THIS, I really can’t afford that. All bills should be paid at the beginning of the month. NOT this month. I see us riding the electric and water bill and maybe the gas bill until the 15th.

And eating lots of beans. Lots. Of. Beans. My home will be quite musical. You probably won’t want to come visit.

The ugly Autumn spiders are making their webs and that means cooler weather is finally on it’s way here. According to the weather service, highs will be in the mid 80’s for the next 10 days. Before you snort, highs have been in the mid 90’s, so we’re talking a drop by 10 degrees. It’s a start and I’ll take it!

I’m ignoring the clothing catalogs.

That’s a lie and you know it.

ManCandy will be LATE tomorrow. It might be Tuesday. No whining. Someone has chased me on 3 different archives begging me to write a series fic for a series I’ve not looked at in a few years. (A Rohirrim fic), I’m laying ground work to continue my NanoWriMo – When the Ribbons Dance – this November. Everything is being laid aside. William Edward is going to kill me when it’s over and Gary just has this sad look in his eyes, when he should be because he’s getting steady nookie! besides the fic that they are begging me to write won’t be very long at all. 2 itty bitty chapters at best.

Lord Thunderbutt is sitting in the laundry room, staring at the food dish. I guess he’s hoping for Second Dinner. Not happening.

My one social site where I get REALLY political has been a war zone this weekend. Not my feed, my PAGE. On it. At me. And I didn’t start it! People are fucking nuts!

I’m stressed people! really stressed.

I read ONE book this month – ONE! I’ve broken down and am doing something I”ve not done in eons! I’m reading someone else’s fanfiction. I”m having issues with the punctuation and formatting and I don’t know if the formatting is a download problem because I’m reading it on my kindle or what. i’m going to go back to the original site and see if the punctuation is awful there and mention it when I review. It’s not bad, considering it’s a movie I’ve not seen for REASONS… but I’m having issues.

OKAY! The ONE book I read this month is –

This series, while light-hearted and funny most times, always ends on somber notes, notes that make you think and either sadden you or make you think. The inhabitants are hysterical, if all related and in-bred. I don’t know why Arly hangs around. Jim Bob and Mrs Jim Bob need someone’s foot shoved up their ass… hard! Brother Verber – he who makes Christians look REALLY bad – discovers the joys of cross- dressing. I shit you not. Somehow, Arly manages to pull clues from the air and solve things with nothing to go on.

Oh and in this  book, we discover just how much Kevin Buchanan REALLY loves his bovine wife. (Hint – he loves her a lot!)

I’m thinking I’m going to put down my kindle, put down my attempt to finish 15 series (hint – NOT going to happen! I’ve put a great dent in them, tho! I only have 4 more Maggody books left in this series) and write some. Like I said, I’m going back to When the Ribbons Dance for Nanowrimo and see if I can add another 25-30K to it. I hope.

And that’s a wrap. have some Richard.

 

 

Happy Guy Day!

Get your Guy on! I need this Guy! So do you!!!

Hope my car is repaired today. Have a good one!

When it rains

it pours.

Yesterday, on the way home, there was road debris in the middle of my lane. I didn’t see it until it was too late and I had an 18 wheeler to my immediate right and no shoulder on the left.

It wasn’t huge, so I figured I could straddle it and be okay. I forgot that my very heavy Chevy is low to the ground. I hit it and I hit it hard.

There were 3 cars pulled over with flat tires, so I waited for the tell-tale hiss from mine. Nada. I got home and was thankful.

I got up this morning to find transmission fluid all over the ground. Car would crank but wouldn’t go into gear. Luckily for me, my insurance covered the tow to Chevy. According to them, I had a dead center impact to the pan. They are keeping her over night to repair. Lucky insurance is covering that as well. A co-worker is giving me a ride.

Right now, I’m just tired. Way so serious tired… have some Richard.

 

 

She’s got that right!

I can’t do this anymore

Yesterday, I had a child tell another his mama had breast cancer because she sucked dick.

Yep.

And today, in that same class but another child, told another child – you know what I think of your mama? He then hocked a lugie, spit it in the floor and stomped in it. For the record, both children are 10 years old.

And we’re less than 40 days into the school year. I didn’t go to school to get a degree to do this.

ManCandy Monday

It’s Monday. Bleh! Just Bleh! 36 days in, 144 days to go. Bad eh? Let’s just get to the pretty stuff!

 

I hope everyone has a great week.

Happy Guy Day!!!

And how are we all? I for one am glad this week is over! It seems every time we have an extra day off, the kids come back like they’ve been gone a year! Rough, rough, rough week!

Either or! I need this weekend bad! Real bad! And the best way to start the weekend off is – you got it – getting your medievel Leather Clad need taken care of! Let the weekend commence!

(yay!)

I’m good to go!!!!

 

ManCandy Monday!

Hello and how are we all? FINALLY! We are getting rain! And it’s NOT from that Wind Heifer, Flo! We are supposed to go to the grocery store, but I’m thinking with the pressure headache and the fact I’ve not slept well for the last few days, We’ll make that trip tomorrow.

I’m falling asleep. Big time. So we’ll cut straight to the ManCandy! All RA edition!

I am SO bad

So when last we checked in with our clothes crazy heroine, my credit limit with Roamans had been raised to 1350.00, I broke down and bought 2 pairs of shoes

(I got these in gold.)

And a pair of brown fake leather leggings.

If they fit nicely (I got them a size smaller than what I’ve been wearing, because the last pair I bought were too big!) I will get a black pair….

just like that….

EITHER WAY…

Last night, I was perusing a site a rarely peruse – the same site where I got THIS –

and found this for a steal –

BUT I haven’t been to the grocery yet and I haven’t done laundry yet and I know it will be tight tight tight with gas and such, so I started to just pass it by when I saw the little blurb…

$15.00 off your order when you apply for a credit card.

Folks, the tunic is 14.95. I’m like – okay, what the hell? SO I apply, thinking I”ll get $250.00 credit limit, I’ll buy it and pay the shipping and handling in 2 weeks or whenever it ships and I’m charged for it.

Those sons of bitches gave me a $700.00 credit limit! I bought the thing and I’ll pay $5.95 shipping and handling. It’s the same bank doing my Care Credit. And I’ll hide it! The card!!! I bought there a lot when I first moved here, but now I buy very little there because it takes so long to have anything delivered anymore.

In other news, we’ve not had a drop of rain from the storm. Some breezy weather, but not a DROP of rain! It’s been hot, humid, and cloudy all day today, but that storm is far to the north of us. I’m ready for some fall weather.

Also Brother Dearest put off the wedding until early May, so I’m seriously going to try to drop another dress size or two. One hopes.

Here. Have some Richard!

 

Last night

we got some wind. A cooler, snappy breeze. We are scheduled for scatter rain showers over the next 4 days. That’s it for us. I’m hearing rumors she might turn back out to sea and reorganize…

But she’s not done anything anyone expected…

And it’s 3 PM and I’m STILL in my pajamas!

Here. Have some belated Guy…  smolder edition

 

Fly Away, Florence!

As she approached the coast, Florence is weakening. She is now a Category 2 storm, with sustained winds of 110 mph. However, she’s become larger, spreading out, with a larger band size and is expected to drop a lot of rain in a lot of places. Langley Air Force Base in Virginia has flown its planes out an into Ohio. Virginia had heavy rains last weekend, so they are expected to flood.

Georgia is also now expected to flood. We are part of the LowCountry; marshes and low lying barrier islands. As a result, my school system is closed tomorrow. She is going to make landfall at both Carolina borders and then turn south before heading north west. Georgia mountains (my parents) will see a lot of rain from this.

It’s going to be a wet weekend.

Meaning I think I’m going to do some writing. whoot!

If you are in the path of this storm, please please please move inland and on to higher ground.

Oh and I am soon to be the proud owner of 2 pairs of REALLY cute mules!!!  (not the hee haw kind!)

Have some Richard!
