SSDreamin Blessings and curses

Nope, and it was because of how we were dressed that we never pulled over and asked for directions! But, once we got into the city, I knew where I was, so I ignored the GPS and got home w/out it. By then, I had figured out how it wanted me to go, and there was NO WAY I would have gone that way!

Well, I think I made quite an 'impression' on the specialist! Her office called today AND sent an email, giving me all my results/her opinion/plus said my script had been sent to my local pharmacy( Four days EARLY)! Also noted that Dr said I can wait six months for my biopsy AND that she'd let my other specialist know I can have surgery in July, not August! :bun :bun :bun So, as guilty as I felt for and flipping out on her at my first appointment, it sure seems to have worked out for me!

Sometimes that's what you need to do.

Snarking DOES pay sometimes

Yesterday, while out tending to business, DH decided to stop at TWO, yes TWO different yard sales. We are so anti-social and anti-yardsales, this came as a huge shock to me The first one I was really geeked about, because I saw old stuff from the road! Love old stuff! We started walking around, and the people selling stuff were in the middle of a conversation - about how they love the show 'American Pickers', how they never miss an episode, blah, blah, blah. Well, their ridiculous price tags would've led ME to believe they were huge fans of 'Antiques Roadshow' I saw a half pint milk bottle there - identical to the six I have at home, that I paid $5 for the set back when I collected stuff and spent money. They wanted $5 for that one scuffed up jar A quick mental evaluation of my jars condition (no scuffs) X five bucks a piece - woohoo, I'm sitting on a gold mine! I've got about a dozen 1/2 pints, a handful of pints and 8-10 quarts - I told DH that his worries were over, he could retire early, just as soon as I unload all my milk jars on some poor sucker...I mean, discerning buyer! I'll admit to buying a saltine cracker tin and a metal basket that I have no real use for at the moment. My kitchen is presently decorated in country shabby chic, or a bunch of junk piled up everywhere if you don't have my decorators eye I think my purchases will go perfectly right next to my Tennessee moonshine jug and my 'faux' baking soda tin! Alright, I admit, it was $5 wasted. Second sale was a trip into the big brother zone. When a comment is shouted at you, about everything you step towards, walk past or pick up, it creeps me out! I have had yard sales before. If they ask me a question, I answer. Otherwise, I let them look in peace! Stop spying on me! We didn't stay long there. By the time I got home, I was wore right out from the heat/walking.

DH and DS have the barn all divvied up inside and are working on the electric fence for the pasture today. DH promised that, as soon as he moves Ice Cream to her new digs, he'll start on my clothesline. All this sun and heat, and no way to dry my clothes outside has been depressing me to no end!

DH is cooking on the grill again today! He truly has a gift for grilling He's making barbequed chicken breasts (bought this week with a raincheck from a sale weeks ago). I am making macaroni salad and corn on the cob to go with. The only thing I was able to use out of my own garden was radishes :/ but soon I will go picking in my backyard instead of going to the store!

Nom nom! Sounds like a good dinner!

 

[Wannabefree]

Really! I wanna eat with ya'll!!!!!

Poo on the yard sales. I hate when folks follow you around :/

Food was so yummy - that man of mine does know his way around animal flesh! I am a terrible griller, because I very seldom eat meat and have a 'if charred is good, burnt is better' mentality about it

My outdoor thermometer just hit 108. That is so very depressing. I live in the frozen North, for Pete's sake! So far. so good INSIDE - it just went up a degree to 84 in here. DH is back at work, and I expect him to cheer me on tonight during our phone call, telling me I'm doing a great job keeping the heat down in here - all while he sits under an A/C unit At least our humidity is tolerable - 48% right now.

Ice Cream is madly in love...with her new barn/pasture! Went out for last check last night, and she was wandering through the pasture still. This morning, she was hanging out in her stall in the barn. I checked to make sure everybody outside was doing good in this heat (and give the chickens extra ice) and found Ice Cream laying under a big shade tree in the middle of the pasture, happily chewing her cud!

While out, I took a gander at the garden. Have lots of little, marble sized tomatoes! Beans are not doing well at all :/ Potatoes are starting to look sad too. The only plant in the big garden that seems to be growing like a weed in this heat is the sugar pumpkins. Most of my tomato transplants have succumbed to the heat, despite daily watering DH assures me that, once we complete our soil amendment plan, they'll do better. Hope so!

I'm playing catch-up with ya and am so glad to hear that your snarkfest paid off! Sometimes we gotta do, what we gotta do!

Doc is the grill-meister here, also. We'd slowly starve if it was up to me to grill.

Glad to hear that Ice Cream is loving her new digs, she's such a doll!

Sorry to hear that you've been "blessed" with this frickin' heat, too. It's still 83F here at this time of night...only one thing to say about that...

Thinking about ya all the time sis!
