For Today...September 30 09





Outside my window... The sky is blue and very few clouds. I can watch the jets as they climb into the sky from the Memphis airport.





I am thinking... It's time I get up from here and do something





I am thankful for... This weather that is so nice. I'm gong to take the dogs out and read in my book for a bit as soon as I finish filling this in.





From the kitchen... Not cooking today. I need something to cook with, so we will eat out tonight. I will cook tomorrow night because Jerry hates to miss survivor. We will pick up something tonight





I am wearing... Dark grey sweatpants and a blouse with tiny flowers on it





I am reading... 92 Pacific blulevard





I am hoping... Jerry can tell me if Friday is his last day or not.





I am creating... Not working on anything today, because I hate to start something only to have to put it up for a while





I am hearing... the jets taking off, the owners steam cleaning the lower rooms' floors and some stupid movie on the tv. changing channels.





Around the house... I've done the dishes up, cleaned the bathroom and made the bed. That's the daily basics





One of my favorite things... is watching the dogs roll in the grass. Macon really loves to roll and he's so funny when he does it.

A few plans for the rest of the week... Not got any, yet. My Birthday is Sunday and I don't know what we are going to do, because I don't know if Jerry is going to have to work or not.

For Today... September 29, 2009

Outside my window... The sky is blue and some light hight clouds and the tempature is a very pleasant 72 degrees.

I am thinking... My allergies are kicking up and the Benadril I took is making me sleepy. Fighting the sleeping monster.

I am thankful for... Being able to stay home, even if "Home" is a motel room and sleep in, if I want to. Thankful that Jerry loves his work and does not resent my not working. With his job like it is now, I would not be able to travel with him, if I had a job.

From the kitchen... I picked up a pound of ground Beef. I need to make something with it, for dinner tonight. I will cut some fresh vegetables to go with it. An apple for dessert.

I am wearing... grey sweat pants and a printed top that has Eeyor on it.

I am reading... emails, Plan on taking a book outside this afternoon while laundry is going. still reading 92 pacific Blvd.

I am hoping... That Jerry gets the lay off on Thurs day so that he can find a new job on Friday so we can be at that job on Monday.

I am creating... I found a simple compass rose I can use for the quilt top I want to make. I need to finish the unicorn block first.

I am hearing... Y&R on the TV. and traffic outside as I have to door open and the dogs in their kennels

Around the house... I need to vacumn the floors again and do laundry.

One of my favorite things... Is the smell of fresh cut grass. The grass got cut around here yesterday. It was very high and that is what kicked up my allergies but oh, it's so worth it.

A few plans for the rest of the week...

pre packing for a move

Dinner was a home made version of Beefy Rice a Roni

For Today... September 28 09

Outside my window... the sky is blue with some high white clouds, Pleasant and cool.

I am thinking... I should take my book outside this afternoon and read in it, a bit.


I am thankful for... Today's weather. And that Jerry hasn't called yet, it means he's still working.

From the kitchen... I'll not be cooking today. We need grocies and Jerry said we would eat out first.

I am wearing...jean shorts and a blue top

I am reading... 92 pacific Blvd.

I am hoping... That Jerry's job is not over this week, but if it is, we go someplace we can enjoy being outside more.

I am creating... I am looking for a Compass Rose to add to my quilt top I want to make for Jerry.

I am hearing... The noon news on the tv and the grass being mowed. It's been a long time with all the rain we had and the dogs don't like getting in it when it's this high. I hope the man can jump over the little dog piles.

Around the house... I've done half of the laundry and the dishes.

One of my favorite things... Is watching Y&R, but I think it would be very wrong for Victor to get Collens' heart.

A few plans for the rest of the week... I need to sort Jerry's suitcase for him and clear off the rest of that bed. then consider packing up the things of the kitchen.

Nearing the end of the job

Jerry's job is about to end. We will know for sure by the end of this next week. There are rumors of jobs out there, One in West Point VA. now he says it's only for a couple of weeks. Not really worth the 14 hour plus drive to get there, find a motel and then just turn around and leave again. We will just have to see what is out there, at the end of this job. Jerry said most likely it will be Friday. I hope that the next motel we get a ground floor. this climbling stairs is really making my knees and back hurt by the end of the day. It's not the dogs fault, they have to "go" and I'm slow walking down the stairs and they really need to "go" badly. Macon is still pup enough that he's sprinkling on his way to the stairs sometimes. As soon as we hit grass he's letting it all fly. He's still not lifting his leg, either.

We have our winter cloths with us. I read my brother's blog where he's winter ready. We are just thinking about it, now. I may need a light jacket in the morning when I walk the dogs tomorrow.
