Cranky

So I wake up before 5:00 am this morning.
I KNOW that cause I had to get the wind up clock out of the bathroom and get it to my purse in the entry, so I could check with my flashlight!
No damn power!
I set the wind up clock, and crawl back into bed.
Nothin'!
I get up and check out the blizzard outside, the dog was having fun with that!
No power means, no SHOWER, no PHONE, no HEAT and no COFFEE!
Ray wakes up around 7:30 am, and tells me that the power's been off since 2:00 am for sure.
I tell him to call them! THEM being the R.E.A.
So he does.
THEY say, "Check the pole, you're the only ones that have called."
I STOMP out to the pole, cause that's what I do when I'm a little testy, and flip the switch to OFF then back to ON!
Nothin'!
No little dials turning....NOTHIN'!
I STOMP back in, and tell Ray, "There's nothing wrong at the pole, phone THEM back!"
He does.
THEY say, " Since you called there have been other complaints."
What the heck time do people get up!?
I started my car, and shoveled 4 inches of heavy wet snow off of it, and left.
Remember...I've had no coffee!
I had 10 peeps from the OFH signed up to go to WalMart, so off we went!
Of course I bought scrapbooking stuff! I also bought the crochet cotton to get busy with my flowers I need before the end of the month!
Also got a new water cooler for the lodge, and their Halloween Treats to pass out already! Hey, there might not be any available when we want them!
We then had to check out Shoppers Drug Mart, cause it's new.
Got back to the lodge.
I had to drive my car over to the garage to load it with my purchases!
Came home, burnt the garbage, cleaned the snow off the roof under the sky light on the north side. It hadn't melted!
Came in, set some clocks, started a load of laundry, got on here to order the AVON, and my coffee maker beeps like it's done!?
Set the damn clock wrong on it!
I CAN'T drink coffee now! I'll be up all night!
ARGHHH!
And, it is 1.9 DEGREES C. I'd better trot the fan over to the pump house and plug it in and turn on the heater, before the water freezes up!
Oh well, at least I'll have a warm place in the morning to have a smoke!
Unless the power goes out!
I'm still not done typing up the meeting minutes either, so I'd better go!

Darn It's COLD!

Just so you know....I'm talking to you and the furnace (*gasp*) is running!?
I've had a busy few days!
I only have the patio doors left to wash, and the door windows! Oh Yeah, and the skylight, but I'm not going UP THERE with the wind at mach 300!
Saturday, I went to my 'other' job, and left at noon!
No one was around, and I was caught up!
Washed more windows!
Still too windy for a fire!
Sunday, I baked, washed MORE windows....just want you to know, that you can NEVER just wash windows!?
I still have drapes to put back up (well, fake ones) etc.!
Then around 6:00 pm on Sunday I realized I wouldn't be home ALL DAY MONDAY, and hadn't got my stuff together for my other craft projects!
So I spent 2 hours cutting out the stuff for these!

Aren't those just the cutest!?

Craft thingy was fun. There were 7 of us. Those red 'things' are a wreath. Remember doing the green garbage bag thing years ago!? Well, one lodge gets red garbage bags!

Yesterday I was at my 'other' job for about 4 hours.

Then went to town, and did my errands, running around, and had coffee with a friend I have not seen FOREVER!

Then, I had a meeting at 4:30 pm.

That ended at 6:30 pm, just in time for me to get to my first Stamp Club!

I love it.

We made 4 cards.

Now, if you KNOW me at all, you have to know that I was a little disappointed not to have made any Halloween cards, or Thanksgiving. But I'll get over it!

It is, and I hate to say the "S" word in September......snowing down the Forestry road! Yup, thought you'd be thrilled!

It's drizzling here. I'm supposed to take my peeps to WalMart tomorrow, so hope that's all it does!

Oh and guess what!?

My 'O's" finally made it to Texas!

Yesterday!

Finally!

I signed up for another swap! Home made flowers....15 of them. I got some patterns off the internet to crochet. Better get busy! Gotta try to get them sent earlier than the mail date of November 5th! These are going to California.....I figure it's the same distance as Texas!

Took some pictures tonight when I got home.

That's the ranch from the road! Thought the trees would show up more!

This is where the camper lives when we're not camping! Oh, I see the stool still has to go in, and the frames for the comfy camping chairs!

I tried to get a picture of the wind blowing the flag straight out! Think I need a new flag!

Won't be long before the leaves are gone if the wind keeps up!

Better go, I have meeting minutes I have to type up!

Out next Stamp Club is October19th, and I get to be the hostess!!!!
