Just wanted to say the boss did confirm today he's giving me a raise. How much that will be, I have no idea, but I hope it's a big step because I could really use the boost right now!!!!! It won't hit until the NEXT pay check, though, so I have to wait until the end of the month to find out!

Thanks FEM! I called the guy yesterday, so he's supposed to stop by on Wednesday, I just need to confirm the time with him. Even if he doesn't buy any, I at least know I can sell them to my coworker's hubby who makes the clocks and stuff out of them. It won't be for as much as if they're...

No kidding, FEM! WE FINISHED THE SHED!!!! :weee:weee:weee:celebrate:weee:weee:weee Ok, so the outside is done. We went to Home Depot on Saturday morning to get the price for the metal roof, and when the total climbed to $466, without the screws and a couple other small parts, the BF decided...

That's a good feeling when you can breathe a little bit!

:lol: Yes, FEM. I can't wait!!!! I just got the fall travel schedule from HR. :th Her son is a senior this year and playing football, so they are going to *every* game... which means that from now until the middle of November she has me booked all but ONE weekend. And one of the cats needs to be...

Hay IS like money in the bank, FEM!!! LOL I forgot to mention! While JS and I were over at JC's barn working on horses, she happened to mention that her parents bought a property down next to GH (Cowboy and Coyote) for a cool 2.3 MILLION. The property where she runs her barn is pretty much one...

Ugh, yeah, @wyoDreamer some of them are like that. The GOOD news is that I was rummaging around in the barn where all our extra stuff is stored and found my hoof cradle that fits on my hoof stand!! YAY!!! Now I can put his feet on THAT instead of having to hold it myself and it will work MUCH...

Hope you're doing good!

I do have to say I am SUPER proud of how far we have come. The 2 year house anniversary will be at the end of November, and we went from having a small business that paid 2/3 of our rent, plus the power bill to having a full mortgage that was ALL the BF's responsibility. How he went from only...

EW, FEM, I'm so sorry! We were stuck there for quite a while, including while we were away, so I'm VERY glad that it has broken, at least for a while. The long range forecast only shows mid to upper 80's for the next 10 days or so, I just hope the humidity stays down because that will keep the...

Thanks ladies! We actually do have bears here, but since we're so close to the city they are super rare. Down there with as much green space and woods as they have they're very common. My sister had a 50# bag of dog food drug out of her garage by bears, and was told that every trash can in...

Our trip went really well. It was such a relief to get out of the 90+ temps with high humidity and down into the mountains where the humidity was so much lower and the highs were only in the 80's. I miss it already! We had a smooth trip down, and then went to visit my grandfather at the lake...

Thanks for the suggestions, yall!! LOL Squoodles. I love it. That sounds way more fun than zoodles. That sounds like it's something at the zoo! We did GOOD this weekend, and didn't eat out! We did get Rita's gellato as a treat, but that was $4.50, and we shared. I'm SO pleased that we stuck...

YES, FEM! And we've been able to keep going! So now we haven't eaten out since last Wednesday, at least not meals together. He spent $50 in the first 5 working days of the month, but we had a bit of a reality check conversation last night so I think that will stop again. I also stopped at...

@wyoDreamer yeahhhh I've got a couple of those going on. I really need to get them out of there because they've got some of my glass containers tied up and I need to be able to use them again! I'm no where near as good with using up food, especially fresh stuff (I think there's a box of salad...

Yeah, I'm with you ladies. It's been tough. I haven't felt like cooking much, either. I really need to do more planning so I can put things in the freezer and have stuff ready to go. That's the part that I am not good at. We actually did really good this weekend! Wednesday I picked up a Garlic...

Oh yeah he was, FEM LOL It was amusing, and thankfully those things don't rattle me like they used to. He's a lot of horse when he has a hissy fit, but in his expression he's still respectful enough not to really pull on me or do anything too stupid. I appreciate that! I goofed last night and...

Thanks FEM! We did have a good rest of their trip. They went through more records while I wasn't home on Thursday, and we're up to about 120, and that's probably about half of what is there. I'm expecting that we'll have about 300 total. Most of them likely won't be worth much, but there may be...

Thanks yall! We had a great trip, though the first several days were HOT HOT HOT. Geez. Finally, Monday night the weather broke and Tuesday was gorgeous. Well, cloudy and it started raining in the afternoon, but so nice to be outside and not roasting. We spent too much money, and had a lot of...

My parents arrived yesterday evening later than they originally expected, but that shouldn't surprise me by now. They always find trouble to get into along the way! This time it was a lavender farm or something like that. Good for them for being retired... but I would have liked to have had them...
