Mandatory Blog Here

A dear aquaintance of mine lives in a nice orderly apartment. They have specific days they can use the laundry room to avoid chaos and anarchy. Her day is Monday. She sticks to her designated day and never misses one. One Monday she went down to do a couple loads of underthings and found a pair of her undies on the table With a post it note. "APT 1, you left these in the dryer". Big Granny Panties Big Granny Panties that were erm...worn and comfy They had been there all week. Hilarious Me being the sympathetic type I am decided immediately upon hearing her story, to blog about it. Because............ Thats how I am ;)

Fail Sorry I have been so busy with things I havent had time to get out and take any. On a completely unrelated note here is my latest farmville picture That I spent hours working on these last few days. :) I will post the Tuesday pictures tomorrow ;) Promise

We all know how much I love my car. I yammered on about it here , here , and of course here . I kiss it before I get in, tell her how beautiful she is all the time, and plan long pointless errands on sunny days in order to drive her with her top down. Yesterday, being a gorgeous day, I took her on a 40 mile trip in order to have a 30 minute lunch with a friend. As soon as I pulled out of the driveway this blinking light came on along with obnoxious beep. I pulled into a station, popped the hood, some nice man ran over and we flipped through manual looking at pictures and it was the coolant light. It didn’t look too low but I bought some anyway and put a bit in and off I drove waving thanks to my new helpful station friend. Driving Speeding Going all race car mode on 4 way highway WEEEE Grr Still on. Diva is not running hot though and the air is on blowing cool air on my legs (yes I know top is down but the air sure is nice blowing up my skirt) Diva is just blinking at me And b@$tching

Late of course, but we wont go there. This house is lovely but what really caught my eye is the backyard shown here. Its looks like its out of some public park or Grecian garden. Just Wow! I love this one because it has a huge side porch, a bay window and a porch. Gorgeous and it is sitting along the tree lined street with off street parking. Wonderful! I turned around from that last house and and saw this one. I cant get over all these old homes that are so obviously taken care of with love and pride. Its like walking along another century Finally this side yard, flowers all along her house that look like they are growing naturally and she even put an old style bicycle in the middle of it. Clever and beautiful while looking effortless. Arent they all just so lovely. Yesterday at my own crappy home I noticed we had weeds growing in the corner back yard that were missed and they were over 4 foot, went to grab them to pull them out but they were covered in sticky prickly things and they

If you have read my blog at all you should have figured out I am not a domestic type woman.. My dear hubby of over 20 years is a southerner through and through. Never mind that he has lived up north with me for over half his life, evidently it something you don’t lose, like the accent. ANYwhooooooo For years I have heard him lament the loss of great southern cooking Fried okra Good BBQ Ham and Beans Whoa is him who is lost up here with us corn fed yanks. The only thing I have attempted to make is his stupid beans like his mom made. Try asking said mom for advice and the only answer you get is: It takes all day and is “easy”. I haven’t attempted it many times over the years. Probably 10, maybe less. But last week, I decided I was going to crack the code. I researched gobs of recipes on the internet. I took the most common denominator of each recipe and cooked the stinky things all day. Below convo is the result of your true blue yank diva’s hard work. Him: Wow they smell great Me: Do th

My dear friend who lives across the pond had to pick up a package postage due today. This in turned reminded me of my own funny anecdote about postage. When yours truly was a young secretary at an insurance firm she had to mail out revised policies to all members annually A tedious task to be sure but I did it diligently A couple days later my boss called in said he would be late because he had to pick up something on way in. Turns out it was his policy that I had MAILED two days before. If that wasnt bad enough the thing had come postage due. Which meant that ALL of them went out postage due. What did yours truly say when confronted with these horrendous facts? She said, Think of all the money I saved the company on postage. LOL I miss being young and cute and dumb

Another Tuesday and I managed to get pictures on time this week. YAY me. I normally post pictures of the lovely homes I find in towns but today I am posting something different Here in my adopted town I call Mayberry they plant flowers all over the city. They put them in pots Hang em from street lamps Wrap them around trees Line their steps with them. Not a weed in sight, nor a dull coloured pastel. Blooming flowers EVERYWHERE. Its amazing, beautiful and slightly disturbing in a way LOL but anywh00000000..............without further delay here they are: Potted and wrapped around a lamp. More flowers pole dancing and if you look in the back ground you can see them all over the steps going to the court house. Climbing and claiming the steps of public buildings Such pride in their landscaping, this is the front of the local libray. I am almost ashamed of all the dandelions and weeds I grow in my own front yard!
