And how are we all? Plans made for New Years Eve? Going out? Staying in? Normally, I stay in. Drunks on the road, all of that.
I’m rather sad at the moment. My little sister was supposed to come down for 5 days, however weather (flooding and heavy rain) is causing her to rethink and her time with me was cancelled. I”m having painful dental work done MLK weekend and won’t be good company. Oh well. Maybe spring break.
The cute burgundy top was GONE when I finally decided to go and get it. Le sigh. And after careful consideration, I’ve decided against the black duster due to the complete lack of size information. As for the really cute shoes that yeah, at some point I”ll get…
At this point in time, they’re $70.00! So I need to wait for them to go on sale. Dang, those are cute shoes!!! I’ll bet they go cute with my red swing dress!!! Or yeah, the white sheath.
All of a sudden, I am enthralled with shiny bling. Not that I’ll wear shiny bling because I have plenty of shiny bling I don’t wear as it is. But I’m enjoying looking at it.
If HE bought me shiny bling, I’d wear it. All. The. Time.
Spawn and I were going to take Little Sister to Charleston today. There are some things I want to get at the City Market that you can’t get anywhere else. Things for me. Things for Flat Richie when he arrives…. probably this summer. Sadly, it’s going to rain – oh, in case I didn’t mention, the South is being inundated with massive amounts of Water From The Sky – and going anywhere is a joke! So we then decided to go on Monday, since I don’t return to work until Wednesday, and then we realized that Monday is New Years Eve and folks, I am NOT going out in that mess at all. So we’ve decided to go the next weekend.
More Le Sigh.
Yesterday’s high was 75. Let that sink in. December 29th and the high was 75. We had the air off (still off) and the doors were open all day. Anything to lower the bill when it finally gets cold – next Friday. Tuesday it will be 78! Sheesh. So much for winter!
But hey, Friday will be 55!
We went out (sorta. Starbucks. That’s as out as I go anymore.) I wanted to wear my snowflake tunic but…
FML
I’m off to write. I think. I’m soothing my inner pagan today.
Here. You put up with this, have some Richard.
There ya go! You’re welcome.
FML? Is that Lord T there or Girly Girl? Kinda hard to see
I work on Monday and may have dinner s the brother but he will want a report on Cmas and I don’t want to discuss that w him right now so I haven’t invited him out
My sis in law took the nieces to Texas to see her mom for New Years
Damn that pic of him w out a shirt on and even w Marian who I know you don’t like are just hottty hottty hotty😘😘😘😘💗💗💗💗😉👍👍👍👍👍👍
Fuck my life.
That is Girly Girl. She’s mostly black on the top, where Lord T is mostly white up top. Right now he’s behind me asleep and snoring.
Yeah, all topless pics today.
How is your ear infection? Not wanting to hang with your brother???
My ear is much better the waves 🌊 have receded thank goodness. I got a head cold on Thursday my dad has been sick earlier in the week and the cedar in San Antonio is very bad so may have been a combo but I am congested some and nose is raw.
Re: my brother. He and my dad are fighting right now mainly politics but my dad holds grudges and vented to my sis and I how unhappy he is with my brother
We did some legal and banking stuff while I was visiting
ie will, bank accts, where my mom and dad will be buried
And my dad doesn’t want my brother to know any of this
Just a fucking mess right now. Another thing for me to be upset and anguish over. If I go to diner alone w the bro
he will want to know what is going on and my dad said for my and my sis eyes only. See my dilemma😱🙄🤷♀️🤦♀️
Well, glad your ear is better, sorry about the head cold and if your brother asks, play dumb. Tell him to ask your dad.
No you DON”T need to be upset about it. Politics have split more families the last decade than ever. It’s really sad. I have cousins who are faaaaaaaaaar left screaming liberals and we still love each other – we just don’t talk politics.
Yeah it goes deeper w my dad and brother like my bro
majorly disrespected my dad and my dad is really hurt by it. I don’t know all the details but I will see if bro wants to eat a less expensive dinner NTEve I hate that day anyway
More to come on that on Monday stay tuned!
Thanks for the kind words! The ear thing was not pleasant
I”m sorry. No matter how differing the opinion, one should NEVER disrespect the parent. My mom and I have serious days, but I know I won’t have her forever, so I just smile and do my own thing.
Yes I mean my visit this time was eye opening and depressing so I value the time I have left e both my parents. My dad and bro are a lot alike and very stubborn
and prideful so neither will concede anything
Just a fucking mess and then the house is another level of a shit storm especially if my sis in law gets involved which she inevitably will once the time comes
I wish you lived closer!!!😘ughhhhhhhhhh
My mom is giving stuff away left and right so we won’t be dealing with a mess to clean up. THat’s how I’m feeling right now – if something happened to me, my family would have to deal with my garage of stuff and I don’t think any of it will fare well. So I’mm sending it charities or throwing it away. I told Spawn next time we move, we are NOT moving in a 28 foot truck, a 12 foot truck and oodles of car loads. One truck – 20 foot and that’s it! So lots of stuff is going.
Aww too bad about having to postpone the visit with your sister. Hopefully you can do it soon. I’ve been thinking I should rewatch Sir Guy’s show. (Oh what? He wasn’t the lead character?!?) Just read a fan fiction on AO3 called A Powder of Yarrow that made me want to watch it to experience his anguish again.
Robin Hood. He wasn’t the lead but he was the reason why everyone watched. Robin was a putz.
I feel horrible I’ve NOT read a Powder of Yarrow. It’s been in my tbr fanfic list forever. I might go ahead and download it off of AO3 and put it on my kindle. I SHOULD do that. I need to see if Lioness amongst Wolves has been updated as well. IT needs a good editing, but it’s a good story.
It’s good. I really like the exploration of Guy’s torment. And there’s a horse that’s a big part of the story. Lioness amongst Wolves, eh? I haven’t heard of that one yet.
It’s a Pilgrimage fanfic. I’ve not seen the movie – I have it, but the gore… nope. It takes place before the movie. As I’ve not SEEN the movie, I can’t make an intelligent decision on if it’s a good characterization of the character, so I’m reading it as a Dark Ages Romance. It’s interesting.
I liked the movie well enough and enjoyed Richard’s French accent. Might read the story.

HIt send too soon.
Yeah, irked about my sister having to postpone, but it’s not her fault and truth is, while it’s warmer than warm, it’s also humid and raining. SO we’d be stuck. I’m thinking spring break MIGHT be good, but I”m also thinking maybe not because it looks like Spawn is having his pulmonary valve replaced about that time.
We’ve got lots of rain here too, and the other day it looked like it was turning to wet snow. But it’s back to rain again. Well, good I guess that they can fit Spawn in fairly soon.
They are… concerned. That pulmonary valve is not working anywhere near speed. Last year they said it was moving in the slow lane of the highway, steady and getting it done, now it’s not. We had hoped it would last until summer, but it doesn’t look like it is. It went downhill really fast. Now we’re hoping they can do it micro-surgery during his spring break which will be in March sometime. Of course, it won’t coincide with MY spring break…
Good that they’re keeping an eye on it. I hope they fix him up and make him good to go for a long while to come.
They originally said this valve would last 10 years. It’s lasted 14. The micro surgery, which we’re hoping is the path they can take – will last over 20 years and he’ll get over it much faster.
Fingers crossed.
Definitely found the shoes very interesting and colorful. I would wait for a sale also. And yes, you can send me some Richard anytime you want, esp as Sir Guy. lol Me for NYE I spend it alone or should I say with Tom Selleck. I watch the old Magnum shows with my headphones in and am simply unaware as the NY comes in. It is not one of my favorite holidays and yes agree with a lot of drunks out there, so good to avoid it.
We must be on the same wavelength Irish
Ah the days of Magnum PI 😘😘👍👍👍
I”m writing. William Edward’s current chapter is dark dark dark.
When all said and done, they were Gisbornes; the night ran in their blood and the fury of Sir Guy sang in their veins.
Spawn wants to buy some fireworks for tomorrow. Our neighborhood will be awash with noise tomorrow, so we’ll celebrate it in our driveway.
Whenever new things come out, the prices are ridiculous, so when they go down, you think you’re saving big. Nah. They’re just over-priced right now. I suspect my WW will go down to around 44.00-49.00. That’s what they normally run. I have a 10.00 reward certificate I’ll use it on when they do go down.
Well you have to let me know when I can read about William Edwards chapter. As I adored all of the writing you had done with Manna from Heaven and Aside from Heaven. So eagerly awaiting. 🙂 I also see you are a wise shopper. Love when I pay for less.
I”m looking at what I’ve written so far and it’s my standard chapter. I might add another scene, but I’m thinking this chapter is done and ready to send to the beta. I upload at Dreamerfiction first and then every where else 24 hours later. So hopefully, by New Year’s we’ll have it!!!
I NEVER pay full price for much of anything.
LOL neither do I. I prefer sales and brand names mean nothing to me if I can get the same thing for $40 less lol… I have a MK purse and matching wallet that I told the person who bout it for me what a waste on me. It is in my closet collecting dust. Just not into it and I don’t like the color. Brown with MK written all over it. Wallet alone cost $125 who the heck would pay that? not me.
I buy wallets at WalMart. I’m not a big purse carrier. I have a small rolling suitcase for my laptop and everything goes in it.
Do you know how many tunics I can buy for 125.00????
Um lets seee 🤣🤣🤣🤣😉😉👏👏👏👍❤️
I hear EBay calling you can sell it there!
I am a clearance junkie but I like everything
It’s more the look and price for me than who it’s by 😉👍
Have you ever perused Threadup???
Yeah know it’s funny that you mention Thread Up no but my sis in law has and um er at the risk of sticking my foot in my mouth some of the clothes are shit like for 20
year olds and she’s 44 although she dresses like a 25 year old sometimes 😉🤣🤷♀️👁🎯Stitch Fit my sis has tried and that looks uber expensive and the clothes look like crap although I didn’t tell her that 🤫🤭🤐🤑👿
I think I dress younger than I am. I’ve been told I wear ‘hip’ clothes….
Zee I mean I have hip clothes too but from what you’ve posted it’s not hooker clothes which um er my sis in law tends to dress in as a pear shape body and she’s 5’1 at best. There is looking hip and modern and then there is
hanging out st the corner aka Pretty Woman circa 1990
if you know what I mean 😉🤣
Maybe your brother likes that?????
Many years ago, there was a Sally Jesse Rafael show that had women who dressed VERY provocatively, because their husbands liked it. One was a bleach blonde who wore little girl ruffles and white heels ALL the time over the top make up with more pink lipstick than was sanitary, even out and her husband was like – I think she’s cute as all get out.
Just sayin’.
Well he’s not the most fashionable guy around although he watches Project Runway and knows labels but yeah I think he likes the sex kitten look 👀🤔🤭🤐
Agree, I think the man who bout it for a Christmas present was trying to impress me, I was not. I will give it away to someone who wants it. It is useless to me and Yes, I am using a black wallet I got at Walmart. lol
Staying in NYE, always my preference, now it’s hubby’s as well thank goodness.
I’m sorry to hear your sister can’t make it to stay with you, but seems like it would be a real worry if she were to be on the road at this time.
Happy New Year Zee, and to all here, may 2019 be a happy, healthy and successful year for you.
PS I hope the cute shoes wait for you Zee!😉
