Happy Days Are on the Horizon?

June 3, 2010 - 22:25

As usual, I've left this for forever and it's almost time for bed now, but I thought I should get something down ... nothing happening on Facebook. :)

Some good things have come my way lately ... the best of which being that I have water pressure at home AT LAST!! My room-mate was warning me that he was going to leave at the end of the month if it didn't get fixed, so I put the nag on the landlord. I know he's busy and I'm pretty easy going about waiting, but my roomie is not. Which is a good thing right now.

My mother has offered to help with my choice of two needs - bring my stuff over, or get a scooter. She was pushing for my stuff, but I wanted the scooter. After some thought I decided that getting my stuff here was probably the better plan ... and now she's thinking about getting the scooter. :( Grrr ... This would be an easier decision if I had somebody who could drive the truck here. Hiring a company to do it for me will be SO expensive! :( Hopefully my income tax arrives soon and I can get a few bucks in my accounts ... and I can breathe better. I'm also finally transferring my auto payment accounts here so that I can reach them when I need to.

I finally won something at the Meat Draw that the Pipe & Drum Band hosts ... I'm thrilled with what I picked. Prime Rib steak, lean ground beef, pork chops, and boneless, skinless chicken breast. Now if only had my stuff here so that I could COOK it!! :) Still, $40 worth of meat for only $5 (spent on tickets) is a deal that I can freeze for future purposes!

I have a tomato plant, two watermelons, and a strawberry all waiting to be potted and put outside. I plan on seeding carrots, corn, and a pumpkin if it's not too late. Thankfully, the growing season here is a bit longer than I am used to, so I might get away with it. Just need to buy the tubs and the dirt.

I'm told that my income tax will be a very reasonable amount, but could be more ... if I can find more paperwork ... which I'm afraid is in storage, but I'm looking ... I'm looking!!

On a spur of the moment, I filled out an eHarmony profile. I'm getting matches, but ran out of time to talk to them as I have to have a subscription. :( So I am going to hope that these nice matches are patient and will wait until next payday?

Sweet Dreams ...

  1. Good for you in keeping that roomie happy. Majorly important at this point in time! Congrats on the meat drawing! A scooter sure sounds like fun to me! And just how far away is your stuff?

  3. My sis lives on the San Juan Islands in Washington State. I hope to get up and visit her this summer. Maybe...just maybe we could meet! My hubby's back has to heal before we can make the drive. Currently, he isn't able to sit for longer than 30 minutes at a time. I keep telling him to GET WELL! We'll see how it progresses.

  4. Sandee: That sounds great! Keep me posted and I'll try my best to get away! ...You're not an axe-murderer, right?

  5. OMg!!! I scoot spiders outside rather than stomp on them and I'm a vegetarian. (Well, that's just because I don't like the taste of meat.) And I don't have a gun, but my husband does and he has an axe... somewhere. I walk out on violent movies so NO, I'm not an axe murderer or any other kind of murderer.
