Never did find anywhere fun to go yesterday with Nicole.
We hung out at the house.
She learned to climb my front tree near the mailbox. She was in that tree most of the day
Today is cloudy but mild. Warmer than I would have thought outside...huh..no telling time of year. warm one day, freezing the next.
Heading to mom and dads at the lake today. Just to goof off for a bit. Nothing dramatic happening today.
When I get home I have soap work and a few usual chores.
Yesterday she had Bolt outside with her and he took off. Eventually I had to take a walk to find him when she came inside without him.
Ran into my neighbor next store. She is the neighbor who has the $423 per month bill for cell phone and cable tv. GET THIS.....I say, WOW it sure was cold outside this morning and she says OH YEA I had my heat on 74.
74, I would COOK literally. I told her I had my heat set on 66 and she went
cause she said she would freeze to death. I said I didn't want a high elec. bill and could put on a sweater if needed and she said she would not do that, she wanted a warm house..LOL LOL------THEN she says she is waiting for hubby to bring back the truck. Her car died about 3 mos. ago and he has not fixed her car yet. (She is the one who lost her job a while ago)....so they are surviving on one vehicle until he can fix hers. Well, she is going to a tanning/herbal wrap/facial appt. and she wanted him home now so she could get the truck. Herbal wrap/facial? Money to burn? But I know they are in dire financial straights and might lose the house cause her house is like $1,600 per month mortgage and her COBRA insurance is like $1300 per month and she chatted with me for about 2 hrs. about how they might lose the house etc.
So I just smile. I tell ya, one minute someone says they might be destitute and the next they are cooking in 74 deg. heat bill and herbal wraps.
Then she tells me about the great b-day present she got her hubby. He was 50 this year. A $700 yard grass trimmer with pruning attachments.
HUH WHAT, $700. You gotta be kidding me LOL
Again I just smile and say cool.
I tell ya others peoples ways of handling financial distress amaze me....but no one will ever handle it the same way but obviously for me in such 'bad trouble she tells me', it sure can't be that bad...LOL......but I will let everyone know if a foreclosure sign goes up on their home LOL
ah, it is wild out there for sure!!
well off to get a few things done then off to mom and dads. Dad has the big 2 week Christmas craft fair at the market. I have to get TONS of soaps ready for sale. He should do very well this year. He has sold alot of soap and this holiday should prove very profitable for me...so that is a good thing
everyone enjoy this nice day!
Plus we don't get much snow, and we usually have sunny blue skies all winter. 
stay up with the chores boy!!!
