Good Morning, everyone

Good Morning... First off, Praying for all those along the Pacific rim.
That is very scary to me. To have that much water heading toward me.
I've cleaned out the cubby above the toliet, and wiped the blind slats. I'm donig a more than just picking up cleaning today. I feel like Spring cleaning !!

Jerry got the water fixed when we got home last night.
He was so disappointed with Ryan's last night. They have raised their prices but didn't have much on their food bars. The salad didn't look all that good, and I found several pieces of green pepper with bruises on them in the container. Jerry didn't get any salad at all, and I fixed a small one for me. He ate a huge helping of mac and cheese, but he didn't much care for the meats they had out. He ended up with putting some of their taco meat on top of mashed potatoes. I'm sure we will be finding a new place to eat. We were going to eat at Western Sizziling, they are closed for remodeling. Drats!
The dogs are doing well. sleeping lots, which I expected. Giving them their meds is intresting. They were very leary of taking the peanut butter I put their pills in yesterday.. so I'm figuring they were fed peanut butter laced with their sleep meds at the clinic. We were at Walmart so I picked up beef bites and turkey bites to slip their meds into. that worked out well last night.

The kitten are already in kitty jail, this morning. I caught two of them on the kitchen counter.
We have sun. It's peaking in through my windows now. Our high is to be in the lower 60's today, so I'm sure I'll be able to open windows and the door this afternoon.

Dinner will be Salad, fish portions, alfredo noodles and I don't know what else, just yet. I'll fix something for dessert this afternoon.
Outside my door ... I can hear a few birds singing their morning wake up songs. The sun is just above the horizone and turning every thing golden with the morning light.
The dogs ... are sleeping. They went out when Jerry left for work, came in, grumped at the kittens jumping from bed to bed, then went to sleep.
The Kittens ... are in Kitty jail. I have to be careful that they don't always get a treat to intice them into the kitty jail or they will constantly been getting in trouble, just for the small amount of cat food I toss into the kennel to get them to go in.
From the kitchen... Hum. good question. Fish for dinner, alfredo noodles, Salad. not sure of dessert yet.
I am hearing... Morning news. We don't have our local channels yet. The cable was out most of the day, yesterday. We are getting Memphis news, though, and a few other channels.
I am wearing... my blue house dress, going to put on black sweat pants and a tshirt before I walk the dogs again.
I am reading... emails. I have over 600 of them. I'll read 5, then go do "something" then come and read 5 more.
I am thinking... If Jerry works this weekend, we will use that extra to go to Tuscaloosa in a couple of weeks to renew the tags, and pick up the stuff in storage. Need to call around and find a good storage unit here in Tupelo. need to be cheaper than what we pay there. I would love to find a good enclosed utility trailer to pull behind the car, next time we have to move.
I am thankful for... Knowing where all my family is, today. My younger brother was stationed in Okinawa (sp) when he was in the air force. I don't know if he kept up with any one he knew there, or not. Just praying that everyone is okkk and away from the raising waters.

Good Morning

 
 
Good Morning.  It's been half a day and it's not even 9 am yet.
 
Got up at 4
got dressed
made Jerry's breakfast
went with him to work so I could have the van today
back home. long enough for me to..
walk the dogs,
take my insulin and get breakfast
back in the van
take the dogs to the spay and nurture  clinic
had to wait for those being picked up to be taken out
had to weigh Rocky to see if he is above or below 30 pounds.
he's a hefty 42 pounds.
paid the $200. for both dogs to be fixed, meds and rabies shots.
I go to pick them up tomorrow morning at 7:30.  found out don't stress if unless it's as late as 9.. but I'll try to be first.
 
Rocky was scared so I stayed back with him a few minutes. he settled down for a bit. Macon was fine the whole time. Usually it's Macon with seperation issues.
 
Back to the camper. scoop the cat box. let the cat's out of the kennel.
 
sorted the last of the laundry
pick up all the blankets spray both mattresses with oder ban.
 
 
The kittens know there's something up with the dogs.. they have gone looking for them, jumping up on the beds and looking behind the mattresses and then come and look at me as if to say.."Ok where'd you hide them?"

March 8, 2011

 I already wrote once, and lost it. so I'm trying agian.
 
It's now raining. We need it. I hope it will wash away the sewer smell outside. The blockage was found and broken up, not far up the line. but the mess is still outside. For a while there, I was hoping we could shower up in the shower house. I can take a 10 minute shower here, If I turn off the water while I soap up.  Takes more time if I'm washing my hair. and it can get a bit chilly even if I have the heater turned on.
 
The kittens are really trying their best to get in trouble. last night. one of them got into the cupboard over the fridge just after we had turned off the lights. Jerry looked for what being chewed on and never saw what it was. Never did find out what the kitten was chewing on.
They are still trying it this morning. running, jumping, getting into things they don't belong in and know it. scattering stuff,
I've had to put the rugs back in place, three times each.
 
the dogs, on the other hand, have been very good. With the men outside the side of the camper for so long they didn't go off barking and all. Jerry may not have noticed that, but I did. a vast improvment over all.  We took our morning walk to the back of the office and although there was some pulling it was to hurry me up (MOM, I gotta GO !!) and once that was out of the way were very good on our way back to the camper.
I brought out some boneless pork chops for dinner. they were on sale. I'll fix noodles to go with them, tonight. Salad and I still want to make a cake. I asked Jerry if he wanted pancakes for Fat Tuesday and he said no, just his regular breakfast. I think I may make pancakes for dinner instead. I make fix some biscuits as well. for dessert we will have fresh fruit that we bought Sunday. We need to eat it before it goes bad.
I don't know if I'm going to be able to post a Good Morning message tomorrow or not.
Got to take Jerry to work so I can have the van so I can take the dogs to get them "fixed". while they are there, I'll find a laundry mat and do the laundry. then have to make a mad dash out to the job after picking up the dogs. Jerry gets off at the same time the dogs are released from the office. No place for him to be out of the weather and we may have rain tomorrow evening. We will eat out. I'll try to check my emails with my phone while I'm out and about. May take my lap top with me to the laundry so I can check emails then as well.

For Today... Mar 7, 2011

 
Good Morning... Well. we went to bed early, because we had to get up early this morning.
Jerry left here around 4:30 to be at the new job site before 6am. As soon as he left, I took the dogs out for a quick potty break. I had let the kittens out before Jerry left for work and not soon after he left, I had to put them back in the kennel.. they were going wild. Soon they will learn that the wilder they get, the faster they are put back into the kennel. here it is, just a bit after 7am, and they are out again and already pushing the buttons.
 
Going to use the roll of hamburger for dinner. Not sure just what yet.
I want to bake a cake today.. maybe two smaller cakes and do one up in Mardi Gras colors, just cause I can.
 
Outside my door ...  Started off very cloudy. very dark, as the day has gone on, it's gotten lighter but I still need a light jacket in order to be comfortable while walking the dogs. It's still gray out and I'm not sure if we will see the sun today or not.
 
The dogs ... Are ready for the kittens to go back to kitty jail. Jumping over Macon, and usually missing.. swatting at Rockys nose so much that he has it covered under the edge of the blankets.
 
The Kittens ... are really pushing it this morning.  Man o man.
one of them jumped at the curtain that hides the cubby above my bed and ended knocking it and a shower curtain pole down. Noisy !! and then all 4 scattered to what ever hiding holes they could find.
Before that, one of the kittens came running in here, with something in it's mouth.. played with it a bit, picked it up and dropped it into the water dish.. I had to get up and find out what it was.. the stopper to the bathroom sink. I put it back into the bathroom, and not 4 minutes later Smokey brought it back into the living room.
 
I've pulled three dog food nuggets out of my shoes this morning. and picked up my shoes out of the floor because the kittens will not leave them alone.
 
From the kitchen... I have hamburger thawed. not sure just what I want to make with it. something with some spice and flavor to it.
 
I am hearing... Y&R.
 
I am wearing... maroon sweat pants and a light purple top.
 
I am reading... emails and recipes
 
A few plans for the rest of the week...
taking the dogs to be fixed mid week, will do laundry then.
look up more geocaches in New Albany
bake a cake for dessert.
