That's what my cousin who joined the military used to say!
And I DID get into my tub last night!
Apparently it wasn't long enough, and I probably should be there right now instead of talking to you!
I just got off the PHONE after ordering my drapes and sheers.
I had trouble on the internet so I phoned.
I'm sure I was talking to someone in India or the Phillipines!
Don't get me wrong.....I don't think I'm prejudiced, I just really want someone who can speak English! (And not as a second language!)
I ordered drapes, sheers and a curtain rod, and as we were ordering, after each item, she told me to hold on a second while she saw if they were in stock. They were....all of them.
When we were done, she told me that the sheers and crutain rod would be here by October 7th, and the drapes by December 23. HELL O!
I'm still smiling about that one!
Ray was home for most of the day.
I DID get the pump house cleaned out.
It has to be ready for the -40 degree weather, so I can toddle over there in my housecoat, ski doo boots, mitts & toque for a smoke in the morning!
I know, so quit smoking.
I've really thought about it, and when the kids were in school I got nothing but grief, until one of our conversations went like this.
Kid: "Why do you smoke?"
Me: "I could drink and beat the crap out of you."
End of converstation!
Then; before Ray drug his ass outside, I started on the shed where the mower and quad live in the winter. The snow blower lives in there in the summer.
I had tossed a bunch of stuff outside, cause when Ray cleans his vehicle, he throws everything in a box and it gets put in the pump house or the shed.
I only threw 2 boxes out of the pump house.
They're actrually all still out there, cause he got called to work. Sure hope it doesn't rain!
When we lived in town, he'd clean his vehicle and toss the box in the garage, and V would clean her car and haul her box downstairs.
Now we have neither, so he has to learn to deal with it immediately!
Anyhoo, he'd brought a bolt bin home from an auction.
It's sat outside on the wagon for weeks.
Think 4' X 7' of cool pigeon holes! About 40 to 45 pigeon holes!
My crafty brain just went nuts thinking about the fun stuff that would fit in it!
So we revamped it, put a back on it and hauled it into the shed.
Me: " So, what can we put in there?"
Ray: "Bolts." ( Bolt Bin people!)
Me: " Do you really have that many nuts & bolts?"
Ray: "I have a lot and I can never find them."
By the time supper was ready, I had him talked into putting screws in the holes too!
I KNOW there's bags of those all over!
And some of the small power tools fit on the bottom bigger shelves.
sigh
Guess that's why I have a craft room!
I blanched some tomatoes for salsa....that has to wait until Tuesday or Wednesday night!
I'll be at my other job tomorrow, I have to wash my van, then I have a meeting.
Tuesday, I go to the dentist in the morning, my van goes to get resealed, and I'll probably go to my other job in the afternoon.
I also made my grocery list for salsa and pepper jelly!
Oh yeah. I went to feed the cats at the cat house today, and there's a stray cat with 3-4 kittens.
Not any of our cats....remember the coyote buffet earlier this year!?
They're not even little hissers & spitters, cause I picked one up and brought it to the house to show Ray.
Their eyes are open, but they're not very big.....don't worry, I'm not gonna get attached to them!
Better go, gotta get the coffee made and find something to wear!
Ta ta for now!
