Thanks Tillie. :D

Happy Birthday! MayMay :D

Yesterday's storm turned out better than predicted.
Instead of rain it began to snow at higher elevations, so not much flooding. :)
I was glad to see that people were preparing for the worst to happen and not wait until disaster struck.

The winds blew lots of sand everywhere so today I need to do a lot of dusting and vacuuming and sweeping in here.

Have a nice day. :)

Thanks MayMay :D

YAY! I just found out that a new episode of "HOARDERS" is on tonight.

I'm sooooo HAPPY that "HOARDERS" is back on. :)

I've been missing Cory Chalmers and Matt Paxton like crazy. lol. :)

I don't have a lot planned for today. Today I just plan on having a "Rescue Me" marathon.

Today is my birthday; and one of my birthday presents that I got yesterday was the complete series of the tv show "Rescue Me".

For those of you who have never heard of "Rescue Me", it is a tv show about a bunch of firefighters from New York City. The show aired on FX and it ended last year.

I have this really weird obsession with both firefighters and paramedics. lol. :)
I love firefighters and paramedics. :)

Thanks Tillie. :)

Very bad storm today! :(

Wind blowing so hard it knocked over the 3/4 full big wheelie bin and trash was blowing every where.
Ran out there in my robe & slippers chasing trash and got the bin back against the carport to keep it upright.

Neighbor called and told me the roofing on the south side of the garage is lifting up.

Reno, Sparks and Truckee are going to flood today when the river over flows it's banks.

We are far enough from rivers here so we are safe from flooding.

The rain will start here in about an hour and we can expect a drenching.

So, today I will be on storm watch.

Have a good and safe day! :D

WTG! MayMay on cleaning your room. :)

OMG! I just finished emptying out and throwing away a bunch of old fast food cups that I had piling up in my room. After I emptied out all of the cups, I looked inside them to see if there was anything growing in any of them. When I looked inside one of the burger king cups, I noticed that there were these really NASTY looking black spots that looked kind of bumpy at the bottom of the cup. It was sooooo GROSS!

And yes I will confess that sometimes I can be very messy. lol. :)

Hi :)

Just turned the page on my calender to December.
Two cute kitties sitting in the grass is the picture.
The calender year is almost over, what have we accomplished?

Anyways...
Today I am off to the grocery store.

Have no other plans.

Have a great day everybody. :)

OMG! I just found another hilarious list of reasons why you should date a paramedic.
Go to this website to read them:
http://ambulancejunkie.com/?p=988
they are pretty funny reasons. :)

I don't have much planned for today. I just plan on washing my bedding today and then doing some more loads of laundry. Yesterday we got a new washing machine and we have a lot of dirty clothes that have piled up while we were waiting for the washing machine to be delivered. We went 3 days without doing any laundry because we didn't have a working washing machine.

Hey Tillie,
Yeah I totally agree with you that Xmas music can get super annoying around this time of year.

Hi
It's me again :)

Snow storm blowing in.
At sunrise the gray clouds were painted a very lovely pink.

Haven't been out of this house for two weeks.
Need to go grocery shopping tomorrow.
Hate going out this time of year what with all the xmas decorations and music everywhere.
That stuff really annoys me.
And to top it all off the small town here always puts a xmas tree up right smack dab in the center of the narrow two lane Main street.
Cars and pedestrians all trying to safely get around that stupid thing. :(

I want to make cinnamon buns but don't have enough raisins.
Have all the other ingredients here.

Making a shopping list today...
Checking the store ads.
Getting my coupons in order.
Buy raisins!

Need to tidy up around here...
sweep, vacuum, etc.

Have a great day everybody. :)

Hello :)

I was without internet all day. :(
Due to the squalor in his bedroom, a cable had become disconnected. I went in there this morning to check out what may be the problem
but when I saw chicken bones covered with an inch of dust along the wall near all the power cords and internet cables
I just gave up and got the heck out of there.

Anyways...
I had a good day.
Did 2 loads of laundry.
Got some small tasks all taken care of, washed my hair, then spent the afternoon watching DVDs.

Hope you had a good day too. :)

So far not much has happened today.
Today I found out that I did not win lottery last night. :(
Someone from Arizona won and someone from Missouri won.
They are so lucky!
I wish that I won the money so that I could live life like my idol Kim Kardashian.

I just bought $20 worth of power ball lottery tickets. Tonight's jackpot is $550 million! I really hope I win! If I win I know exactly what I want to do with the money. I want to buy a HUGE apartment in New York City as well as a HUGE getaway house in Texas. I also want to buy a private jet so that I can travel back and forth from New York City to Texas anytime I want. I also want to buy a camaro that I can drive around in when I'm in Texas. :)

I just found this really cool new website called "keepcalmandposters.com". It's really cool. You can design your own poster and make it say anything you want. I just made 4 of them. :)

The posters that I made say:
"keep calm and watch HOARDERS!"
"keep calm and love Cory Chalmers and Matt Paxton!"
"keep calm and call 1-800-HOARDERS!"
"keep calm and call the paramedics!"

Yes I am a total dork. lol. :)

Go to this website if you want to make your own poster:
http://www.keepcalmandposters.com/.

Thank you MayMay :)

Hey Tillie,
Sorry to hear about the new mess that you have to cleanup. :(

Hello :)

Today I have to do some tidying up around here.

He tracked some mud ( I hope that is mud:( ) across the linoleum and carpet all through the house this morning.

The bathroom needs some attention.

Kitchen needs to be brought back to my standards.

All this mess happened while I was sleeping.

Oh Well, anyways...

Have a great day everybody. ;)

Good morning :)

My plans for today are pleasant and easy.
Going to make some fresh squeezed lemonade.
Bake some yams.
Make stir fry vegetables and rice.
Do a few sewing projects.
Watch a movie.

Have a great day! :)

MayMay,
Sorry you had an ear worm keeping you up late.

Right now it's a little after 2:00am where I live and I'm trying to go to sleep but I'm having trouble falling asleep because I have R. Kelly's song "I believe I can fly" stuck in my head. This totally sucks because I feel tired and I want to go to sleep but for some reason the song is keeping me awake; even though it's only stuck in my head and not actually playing out loud.

I just finished eating lunch :D

The house is all clean and back to the way I like it.

One of the biggest advantages of not having too much stuff cluttering up my "No Clutter Zones"
is that it is easy to clean.
Only a few hours of housework and it's all good now.

The rest of the week is mine to do with as I please.
Only takes a few minutes daily to keep it up.

All of us can have this too. We just need to get that clutter under control first. :)

I just checked the guide on my TV and found out that HOARDERS is not on TV tonight. :(
This is the 4th week that HOARDERS has not been on TV. :(
I'm so sad right now. :(
I miss seeing Cory Chalmers and Matt Paxton on TV. :(

Thanks Tillie,

So am I. Yesterday when he arrived, I was balling my eyes out because I was worried that the ring was going to be stuck on my finger forever.

Good morning :)

After 5 whole days off he has finally gone back to work. :D

He can mess up my clean zones faster than I can keep up.
The house is nasty again. :(

My To-do list for today....
Sweep and wash floors
clean bathroom
vacuum the carpet
dust
generally straighten and clean and wipe off everything
sweep porches
tidy up the kitchen
check fridge and wipe the shelves
and so on...

Have a fun and productive day everybody! ;)

MayMay,
Happy he could get it off.
My mother got a ring stuck on her finger once and the firemen had to cut the ring to remove it.
:D

Janice,
Sorry you couldn't get into chat. :(
It was a small group last night and maybe others were having that same problem.
Don't know enough about these things to give you any advice. I recently installed the latest JAVA update and it worked fine for me.
Hope you can figure it out and join us.

OMGsh I cannot get on group! Java was/is down???? Soooo I add plug-in like before, right??? Nope! Now what? Suggestions???

OMG! I just thought of another good reason to date a paramedic. :D

I'll call this reason reason number 11:
When you get someone's wedding ring stuck on your finger, your paramedic boyfriend will be able to get it off for you. lol.

Today while I was out shopping with my friends, my friend amber found someone's wedding ring laying on the sidewalk. She grabbed it and tried to put it on her finger. But it didn't fit. So she gave it to me and asked me if I wanted to try it on. I said yes; and when I put it on my finger it seemed like it was going to fit. But then when I tried to take the ring off, it was stuck on my finger. As I kept trying to take it off I started to really freak out. As my friends and I are thinking of a way to try and get the ring off my finger my friend hailie suddenly says, "hey lets call Josh! He'll know what to do! He's a paramedic." Josh is my boyfriend. So I called him and told him what happened. And then I asked him if he could try to help get it off my finger. I was so relieved when he was able to get the ring off my finger. My friends thought that it was really cool when he arrived in the ambulance. I was really shocked when he arrived in the ambulance because when I called him, he told me that he wasn't on duty. I thought it was really sweet though. My friends think it's really cool that I'm dating a paramedic. Lol. :)

Has anyone ever wondered why paramedics are so sexy?
Well here are a few reasons why.

This is a list that I found on the Internet.
It is a list of the top 10 reasons to date a paramedic.

Go to this website to read the reasons why you should date a paramedic:
http://profileengine.com/groups/profile/423006516/feel-safe-at-night-sleep-with-a-paramedic

They are really good reasons. :)
I'm not going to lie. My favorite reason on the list is reason number 7. lol. ;)

Yes I am super random! lol. ;)

I give up.
Why do I always have to be the adult.
When I see something in the house that needs to be repaired or taken care of and mention it,
I then become the "nagging evil person".

This place has a LOT of problems that could have easily been fixed but after many years of neglect are now major issues.

He would rather spend the money on crap.
He does not need any more crap, he has tons of it already.

My To-Do list today....

Be selfish and carefree and not even think about the future.
Dust the things that give me pleasure and take a hammer to those things that don't.
Start a fire in the burn barrel.

Thank you for letting me vent. :)

Good morning :)

We will NOT be going shopping this week.

We have more than enough stuff here to last us many years. ;)

Today I plan to cook one of my favorite recipes then clean up the kitchen.
This dish is sort of a small meatball wrapped in bread dough then baked.

I have no idea what kind of plans he has for today.

Have a good day! :)

Today is BLACK FRIDAY!
Who's going shopping today?
I know I'm not. ;)
I went shopping on black Friday like 2 years ago and it was awful.
The lines were super long and there were people fighting in the isles.
I remember when I was waiting in line to check out at Kohls 2 women started fighting over some toy; and while they were fighting they accidentally knocked me over.
It was so crazy!

Good morning :)

Hi MayMay :)
Hope you have a great day!

Today my plans are to bring in the little ladder and clean the ceiling light fixtures.
Put the stove rings to soak and scrub them clean.
Already have 2 loads of laundry hung on the clothes line.
Then I need to clean out the fan on my laptop. It gets lots of dust and then runs hot.

Wishing everybody a wonderful day. :D

Today I am going to clean the house. Then after I clean the house I am going to take Cory and Matt for a walk. Then when we get back from the walk I am going to give both of them a bath so that they will be all nice and clean when my relatives from Michigan arrive later on tonight. My relatives are coming down to visit us for thanksgiving. They are arriving tonight and then they are leaving on Friday morning.

Good morning :)

You all probably have a lot of plans and things to get done.

Places to go and people to see.

Whatever your plans, please be careful out on the roads.
Better to arrive late than never. ;)

I don't really have anything planned for today. It is really cold outside. So I think I might have a movie marathon today. I always like to have movie marathons whenever it is really cold and gloomy outside. :)

Good morning :)

Today I will do 2 loads of laundry
The usual cat related tasks

Then I plan to treat myself kindly with a shampoo and pedicure and watch a video.
Might even take a nap.

Have a fun day! :D

It took me longer to finish cleaning today.
Discovered a leak under the bathroom sink.
Would have found it earlier if I had not been sick all last week.
The washing machine is in the bathroom and the cold water hose is leaking at the connection.
Slow leak, about one drop every time I count up to 5 or 6.
Fortunately, I never keep anything under the sink that can be damaged by a water leak. :)
Only plastic jugs of laundry stuff, toilet brush and a bucket with my cleaning supplies.
The piece needs to be replaced so I have a dish pan under there to catch the drips.
He has taken Wednesday off work this week and also has Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
Plenty of time to fix this.

Anyways...
The house is clean and I had lunch. :)

Good morning :)

I am feeling better but the house is a mess.

My To-Do list for today...
do 3 loads of laundry
sweep floors & porches
clean the bathroom
wash the floors
vacuum the carpet
wipe off all the door knobs, light switches, remotes and everything else that gets touched daily
use the vacuum to dust drapes, window sills and the edges around the walls
dust everything because everything is dusty
wash the cat's litter boxes
Tidy up and clean anything else I see that could use a cleaning

Then I will eat lunch :D

Have a great Monday! :D

Hi MayMay
Welcome back :)

I'm Baaaaack!!!

I just got home from Seattle. Even though I enjoyed being in Seattle a lot, I am really glad to be home. Cory and Matt practically attacked me when I walked through the front door. lol. They were really excited to see me. I actually think that I missed them just as much as they missed me while I was in Seattle. Tomorrow I will post all about my trip and the clean-up. But right now I am going to unpack, take a shower, and go to bed even though it's only 7:30pm where I live. Today was a very long day. :)

WTG! Cory for getting it done! :D

OK, that virus really knocked me on my bumm.
Feeling good today but a little weak & tired.

Resting today.
Tomorrow I have to clean up here.
It is a mess. He never cleans up after himself.
But I have been able to keep up with the cat care and dish washing. :)
There wasn't much food in the house when I got sick so there was nothing to really mess up the kitchen with.
Just some toast and soup for me. :p

Hope to "SEE" everybody in chat tonight.

Happy Saturday!
Since I am not in the office today it is work at home day. On the agenda for today...steam clean the carpets in the motorhome, take a refrigerator to my sons new apartment, and all the chores around the house, dishes, vacuum, trash, etc.

Hope you all have a great day whatever your plans are!

Hello :(

I have a bad cold :(
Taking sick leave :(

Today he has gone back to work so I get a break.

Since the fridge is pretty empty, today I plan to remove all the shelves & drawers and wash everything.
Then wipe off the few things that we have and put them all back in.

Have two loads of laundry to hang out.

Must vacuum and sweep.

Have a great Tuesday. :D
