More prayers for Katrina victims. Wow, wish I could do something (other than pray).
Gas is $3.19. This is crazy. They've gotta put a cap on it.
It probably sounded in my last post as though I were working with quite a motely crew. And honestly, some of the people are rough around the edges, to me at least. But now on day 2, we all seem to have bonded a little. Turns out there's a guy who started with me, same department that graduated from the same high school as me (which is 100 miles south of where we live now). I dont' remember him, and I don't think he remembers me. We were 2 years apart. And he worked at a company I did previously that I did too. I don't know if it was at the same time. AND, he, his wife and son are moving to the same tiny town I live in now! Is that weird or what?
But I'm tired! Money stresses, Husbands in a funk, so am I. We can't make ourselves feel better, we are just pissed at ourselves a little.
Thoughts and prayers to those affected by that bee otch Katrina!
ssss
The dreaded Lowes Hardware! And my back patio door while they were putting it in. Note the tears in the hibiscus eyes.
We're stilllll working on it. To look at the project you'd be all "If it looks this bad now, how bad did it look before???" I promise no matter how bad it looks to post pics of how it's coming later today!
Four Comments on one post.... saaweeett.
Wow, where as teh week gone? I'll be back in the workforce starting 8 am Monday. I'm actually not dreading it.
One thing I'm learning and finding interesting is how much I let what other people think of me, influence me. I use them as mirrors. As in if I think they're accepting me, laughing at my jokes, etc I like myself. If not I feel bad. I really need to change that. I just want to be me. I'm a good person. Always have been. Made TONS of mistakes, hurt people, but I've grown. Anyone would be lucky to have me as a friend.
I'm not just tooting my own horn. I'm just realizing what I think my parents always wanted me to know.
DIY update: we're getting there. You might not know it by looking at it, but we've worked our butts off and it will be worth it. It was nice to work some w/ Husband and help him. He said he was impressed as hell I went under the house with him. And he should be!
I don't like this huge ass project we're doing at home. I'm too tired to blog much about it. ANd my new job starts next week. But again, if I have to go to Lowes again, I may kill someone!
I wish I was here right now!
We're doing some home remodeling. I should just say I HATE that kind of thing. We have very bad luck DIYing even though Husband is quite handy. And worse luck hiring things out, we tend to get screwed to the wall.
This project is replacing the siding at the back of the house which faces south. It gets lots of sun abuse. So I painted the cedar siding this morning while husband pulled off the old siding and took off the gutters. Then we had to crawl under the house (oh. my.god.)which scares me and brings out the claustorphobia in me. But it went quick. That was to replace a spicket stepdaughter broke over a year and half ago. Then we had to go to Lowes. I hate Lowes. Seriously, when I go there I just want to HURT someone. Then we had to go to Menards. Again w/ the wanting to hurt someone. We did strick a little luck and gold in the form of a 2 seater log thing w/ a table in the middle.
So we're muddeling through! It was marked down and they didn't have anymore in a box, so we talked them down about another $17 to buy the display. I can't wait to kick back in it. It's almost an Adarondak (sp) style and those are so comfy to me. Must be because I'm so short (like 5" )
So I spent some time with my sister 'Eve' Saturday working on our scrapbooks. It was at a nice scrapbook store in Indy. It was a lot of fun. Check out the pictures
