Two Posts in One Day

I just had to post this picture. Jamie is very sincere about the Army Cadets. He is totally enthralled with the stories of Grandfather's service in the Armed Forces. I know this a Remembrance Day Picture, but it still seems appropriate for Canada Day. He makes me so proud. As do all my children and grandchildren.
Something went right somewhere.


Happy Canada's Day

Happy Canada's Day all. I got this picture of the flag from the Town of Westville's Home Page. Yes....Westville has a Web Page! Go figure! Around these parts, Westville is the town that gets to celebrate Canada's Day. Pictou has the Lobster Carnival, New Glasgow has Festival of the Tartans, Trenton has something else, and Stellarton has ...ahhh....something else too. The fair will be in full swing, the Westville Legion will be open to all, and the beer will run freely (not free mind you, just freely). People who can't sing or play will bring their guitars, and they will sound great! The big parade takes place at 11 a.m. (mostly fire trucks), but lots of Bagpipe Bands - which I like. However, they don't usually play where I am standing....no matter where I stand, they see me, and stop playing! Hehehehehe....then the evening is capped off with a marvelous 10 minute display of fireworks. Unfortunately, it is calling for lots of rain! I hope not, but man, it sure poured this morning...came down like a waterfall there for a while. Just sprinkling now.
I don't think I will be attending any of the festivities.....that would require me leaving the house! However you never know!
I missed Larry King last night. I fell asleep! It was so hot here and sticky, when I got in bed I put on the least possible clothes I could without disturbing myself (if you get my drift)...Long shorts and loose t-shirt, put the fan on full blast, took my sleeping pill, started watching a movie and Bingo! I was out like a light. Woke up at 1:45...just when the second Larry King was on, so saw the last 15 minutes. Then woke up again at 4:55 when the third Larry King was just ending! Sheesh. But Star is on the Today show in a few minutes...so I'll see some of that.
Well, I guess I've bored you guys enough for one day. Have fun tomorrow, whatever you do on Canada's Day, do it well!!! Hehehehehe.

Internet Woes

This is a Tad Gory....Sorry. Tried to post yesterday, but the Internet was not co-operating. Now I totally forget what I was going to talk about. But it was so frustrating!!!! I wanted to kill my computer, but it really wasn't the computer's fault.
Well, we had two lovely days in a row!! And now today is overcast and muggy again. I'm doing my blog now before I become overcome by humidity.
Anyone watch America's Got Talent? I wasn't going to, because I thought it would just be another version of that old 'Gong Show'. But I ended up really enjoying it. They had some really good, and entertaining acts, and I was smiling through most of it. May turn out to be an interesting show.
Also, on TV News...Star Jones is leaving The View under less than pleasant circumstances. She will be interviewed on Larry King tonight. I don't usually watch the View, but have been since Ellen is all re-runs now. Rosie O'Donnell is joining the View to replace Meredith who is replacing Katie on the Today Show. I don't think Star wanted to work with Rosie, but also, her contract was not going to be renewed.
Now I don't just sit around and watch TV all day.....I just have it on all day, and listen to it whilst doing other things, like blogging, doing dishes, laundry, housework etc etc etc. Also reading...I read when commercials are on. I am a mulit-tasker......have to be doing two things at once. I can't even knit unless the TV is on. God forbid I should be in a quiet place where I may start thinking!!! No no no, can't have that!
Hey, the people on Coro Street are doing Sudoku puzzles.....cool eh?
Tuffy knows exactly how to wake me up at four in the morning. He just walks across my full bladder!!!!!! Then I have to pee, so I have to get up and let him out. Sheesh. How does he know where my bladder is?? But, fortunately, I was able to get back to sleep.
The keys on my keyboard are reacting slowly, so it's hard to type...they're all moist and sticky.
So, now I will go catch up on yesterday's blogs....have a good one all.

What is that?

There is a strange phenomena occuring right now. There appears to be odd shades of blue appearing in the sky, and liquid is no longer raining down on us. What is happening. I am afraid, very afraid.....could it be Armageddon? As you can see, Tuffy has protected himself from the dangerous rays that may soon zap us all...but the boa??? Don't know what that's for...hahahahaha.
I can finally breathe today!!!!! The oppressive humidity has lessened a little. The last five days or so have been pure hell for me! Today I feel great! I seriously thought I was dying for a while there. I may even get some laundry done today! So exciting! (Hey, I like doing laundry.)
Well, let's see, what's happening?
Did anyone watch A&E last night - about the skinheads. Scary, scary people! They teach hate and they go to various high schools to get the young people. In my opinion, they are nothing but poor, white.....well, you know the rest. They worship Hitler and watch all his old broadcasts. I feel that Hitler, as evil as he was, would have nothing to do with them!! The next show was about the Ku Klux Klan, but I just couldn't watch anymore. I am not into hate! It poisons the soul and the mind and everything and everyone around you.
Well, that's my sermon for today. Have a good one everybody.

Blah!!!!!

It's just been too humid and muggy to move, and the rain will not stop! Everything in the house feels damp and sticky, including the humans. I can smell mildew and mold, which (I think) accounts for my total feeling of listlessnes, and fatigue. The air is so heavy you can almost see it. June is almost gone, hard to believe.
Well,, I will be going over to Nlfd on July 5th, only staying for a week or so, unless I perk up a bit. But I've just got to see that family of mine!
I am enjoying the Animal Planet Channel...watched an elephant being born, and some baby pythons hatch! And, also some pet rats. I like pet rats....but two would do me. You pretty well have to have at least two because they are sociable and like company.
Must finish my tea now and try to wake up a little...talk to you guys later.

Hi all, just a short blog today. I'm not feeling too well. It's very hot and muggy, and I want to lie down with the fan flowing on me, reading my book! It's a Dean Koontz book, titled 'Life Expectancy' and it's pretty good. I know Nannan prefers true crime stories, but Mikki and I read the same books (she also likes true crime stories). So, Mikki, if you haven't already, don't buy this book! Last year, when I went over to visit I had two new books hoping I'd be able to trade with her...but she and I had bought the same books!!!!!
So far not an enjoyable summer...too muggy and it's raining most of the time. Had just a few sprinkles today, but it's overcast and the air is very heavy.
Big Brother starts July 6th....people have to vote in some of the ex-big brothers. I would like to see Will back in the house! He's a charming liar....hehehehehehe. But an honest liar - oxymoron you may think. But no....he's honest because he tells people that he's a liar!!!
Well, time to turn on fan, get my book...and relax. Jim is asleep on the couch!
Oh, we have a new-to-us barbecue. Young Jimmy bought a fancy-dancy new one, and gave us his old one. Jim replaced the burners, painted it up, and it looks like new! It has a burner on the side! We through our old one out....it was just a cheap one, and never did do a good job even when new!
Bye for now all.

Plastic Surgery Gone Bad

I watched an interesting show on TV (on the new Movies on Demand feature) about plastic surgery gone bad. Man, it was horrific. So everybody out there, just be happy with what you have...even if (like me) you have too much of it! hehehehehehe. They profiled three people...one with a nose job...one who wanted liposuction, and one who wanted a face lift. Now, I couldn't find any appropriate pictures to illustrate this, but the dangers of plastic surgery are life-threatening. The woman who wanted the fat sucked out was diabetic....they ended up perforating her stomach wall, she became septic, and in the end lost both of her legs above the knee. The man who wanted a nose job had to have five surgeries because he couldn't breathe properly and the skin on the end of his nose had deteriorated so badly they couldn't use it anymore. And the woman who wanted a face lift, ended up not being able to breathe if she held her head upright and who couldn't swallow well at all. She looks like Hell and is just waiting to die.
Now, what they didn't show on the program was another instance of Plastic Surgery gone wrong. I will show you what I mean.

BEFORE AFTER






Man, I kill myself sometimes!!!!!!!
Hahahahahahahahaha

A Couch Potato's Dream

Eastlink has added a new feature! A wonderful feature....for free! It's called Movies on Demand. Now, we subscribe to the Movie Channels, and now we can watch a movie whenever we want! You just go to the menu...choose On Demand......choose the list of movies...pick one..and watch it - whenever you want! You can pause it, rewind it, fastforward it...it's great! Lots of time they have great movies on and it's never been convenient at the time they are on....like 3 a.m. for example. Now, I can watch whenever I want. Last night I watched a gory horror movie at 7:30...it ended exactly when the Hockey game started. I love this feature. It will be great on Saturdays. Also, if your movie gets interrupted you can just stop watching and when you get back to it, it picks up where it left off!!!!! Also, the movies you have watched are marked, so you don't watch them twice (I once rented the same movie three times - always forgetting I had seen it before). I actually called Eastlink to make sure it wasn't a trick...you know a promotional thingie to get us hooked, and then start charging for the service.....but they assured me it came free with the package! Oh, it is so cool!
Well, the Hockey game went terribly awry! It's been thirteen years since Canada won Lord Stanley's Cup....and the trend continues. Sob sob sob. Oh well, there's always next year!
I am inordinately tired today...and I don't know why...very sleepy. I woke up three times during the night to pee.
I'm disappointed Fireguy didn't show much enthusiasm for the Cat Reality Show! They had some of the cats on the Today show...and they were not happy campers....or should I say happy catpers!!!! Hissing and snarling...trying to get away....one even did manage to wiggle loose of it's harness, but luckily they caught it.
I watched my first good show on the Animal Planet Channel. It was called Animal Cops! They pick up mistreated animals and try to rehabilitate them. Oh, it was so sad.....there was one dog that had been left chained outside in the snow for months....starving and freezing. He was so weak he couldn't get up on all fours...kept tumbling down. I almost cried. But they rescued him, fixed him up...and now he's with a nice family with lots of kids who give him lots of attention. The poor dog doesn't like to be alone they said, so someone is always with him. It's a good channel.
Well, I just couldn't come up with a sentence with the word 'obsequious'. I just don't know any obsequious people. Obnoxious people yes (present company excluded). But I like my word of the day - inordinately.
Hope everybody blogs today and that everybody is well....talk to you all later....Marsha

Smart Cat

Hey, Fireguy - why didn't you tell us Shania could play Freecell!! I bet it was Dad who taught her. She looks like she's doing pretty good. I can't figure that game out at all! Now Michelle can play, and Dad wins most of the time, but I (as in life) just can't think that far ahead! Hehehehe.
Now, speaking of cats...while watching the Today show I found out that there is going to be a new reality show coming out! Woohoo! But it's on the Animal Planet channel, so I ordered the Animal Channel.
Now here's how the reality show goes. They are going to put 10 adult cats in an apartment to live together. They will have to compete in various competitions...i.e. climbing, paw painting ( where the they dip the cat's feet into paint and then they walk on paper)....etc etc etc. Every week, one cat will be voted out of the house by the viewers! It's gonna be a blast!!!! Now worry not cat lovers, the voted out cats will be adopted by a loving family! So, they actually win. These are cats looking for new homes, all neutred and spayed. The program is to promote the humane society and to raise awareness of the plight of animals or something like that!
I always wanted the Animal planet channel anyway, and this gave me an excuse! I wish I had caught the name of the show though...but I'm sure we'll hear more about it.
Today is extremely windy, but quite hot....if it weren't windy we would all be dying of heat exhaustion by now. Yesterday was bad too. We had two funs going all day just to be able to breathe. Better than the rain though.
Well, over and out guys.....have a nice day....Marsh

Happy Father's Day

Have a Happy Father's Day Dad! Throughout all the years you have always been there for us, no matter what troubles we got ourselves into. Most times, without being asked, and never asking any questions. Without your unconditional love I don't know how we would have survived. I hope you know how much we appreciate you and love you. Hope to see you soon.
Love, Marsha and Jim
P.S. I know I'm speaking for Sue and Jimmy when I say 'we'.

Hurricane Damage


Yesterday was a wild and wooly day! As you can see, my beautiful patio set was tossed around as easily as if it were plastic! Oh the horror - now I'll have to go out and pick them all up and repair them as best I can...hehehehe! As you can also see, the quality of my camera is atrocious. It only takes little tiny pictures, and when you try to resize them, they get grainy.
I wonder how St. John's made out...according to the satellite map on the Weather Channel, Nfld was - especially the eastern part was right in the middle of it! Of course, trusting the Weather Channel to be right is like trusting that politicians never lie.
Tuffystupidcat was out in the bad weather and when he came in he jumped right into the bed with me and wanted to be petted. I hate wet cat...and his paws were filthy. My poor comforter will never be the same. I dried him off with a towel and he did not like that, oh No - he would rather dry himself on me!!! Then he wanted to eat (I was already settled in bed, by the way), then he wanted out again, which I refused...then he wanted to be belly rubbed..God....I didn't get to sleep until after midnight.
Well, that's the extent of my exciting news. No hockey until Sat. night. Weekend coming up again...time is sure going by fast. Don't be surprised if I don't blog on weekend - but you never know! I'm just full of surprises...hahahahahha! For Nannan's sake, I am going to try out the spell check feature right now.
Ok..the spell check is considered a Pop-Up and my Pop-Up Blocker blocked it. All I had to do was push control ABC and it worked. However it picked up a lot of words that were spelled right! So try whatever you have to do to disable your pop-up blocker. Hope that helps.

Our very nice day

On Tuesday, after voting, Jim and I decided to go for a little drive around town. We hadn't done that in quite a while because of the cost of gas. And we had to use the Blazer because the car isn't licensed yet. Anyhoo, we drove around in the pouring rain, visited the cemetery for over an hour or so...just talking and reminiscing. It was really nice. Then we decided to go out to Westville where we used to live to see how our tree was doing. We hadn't planted this tree, but it was just a tiny thing. We nurtured it, and every year Dad would come up and trim it (not trimmed now, as you can see). It looked like the perfect Christmas Tree and everybody would comment on it. As it grew we would decorate it with lights on Christmas. The first Christmas it only needed one string of lights..but by the time we left...we were putting ten strings of lights on it. Dad's trimming kept it from getting scrawny and tall and let it fill out perfectly. I think the new people are still trimming it, it's just a little too early yet. I think the picture is fuzzy because it was pouring rain! But, my camera is not the best either. Maybe Dad can post a picture of it when it was little. Anyway, Jim and I had a lovely day. Away from the TV and the Computer.
But I'm a just amazed that all three of us visited gravesites all around the same time. It's as if we're all connected somehow. Any thoughts on that?
Woohoo, Edmonton pulled it out in an overtime period!!!! I almost had a heart attack when it went into overtime! So, we live to play another day!!! So, fat lady...stop singing. Hehehehe.

Bloodshot eyes

I've got tears in my ears
From cryin in bed,
Thinking of Ed-
monton losing the game.
Oh, the shame, shame, shame!

We were once the Hockey greats
Very best country ever on skates
Now, it looks like it's the States!
And I must say, that really grates!

So I sit here and write this ditty
Whilst my eyes are dry and gritty
Trying to be strong and witty
Cause last night's game was plainly Shitty!!!

Marsha Fitt, June 13, 2006 Untitled

Bet you guys didn't know I could write poetry...hehehehehe....This poem has no title so I'm having a Name the Poem Contest. Winner gets Nothing!!!!! Loser gets the Stanley Cup!
Anyway, I finally found out why my eyes are always bloodshot (hence the pic of bloodshot eye, not mine...somebody elses). When I was at the eye specialist I asked him, and it appears I have a condition called Roscea! Now I've heard of that, but usually it's on the face - big red blotches...but there is also ocular roscea. The Dr said it is genetic...nothing I can really do - it's like the colour of your hair or the freckle on your arm - and I'm quoting him. I asked him about the stuff they advertise on TV for Red-Eye and he said No - I don't want you putting any of that stuff in your eyes! Because of my high risk of Glaucoma I guess. He actually asked if it bothered me...and I said "Yes, of course - I always look either hung-over or extremely tired!". But, nothing I can do folks. I have ocular roscea!
I looked it up on the Internet and there are ways to ease it - washing your eyes with just water, wear sunglasses, avoid alcohol and spicy foods etc etc etc. It occurs more often in women than men (naturally!).
Well, that's my blog for today...this is Ol Red Eye signing out......gotta go vote!

What's wrong with this picture?

Nannan requested I post this picture taken at my 60th (ack) birthday party. A picture of my family. My step-son had it so they brought it over to me on a disc so that we could all look at it together - my family! I took one look at it and said 'Oh my God, I look awful - I never take a good picture'.
But, I was set-up!!!! This picture has been 'doctored'. You see....that is not my face on my body - it is Nannan's! And my face is on Nannan's body! (Actually, I also thought...gee what a good picture of Suzie-Q). Glad I didn't say that out loud. I was duped! And Nannan was standing right there!!!! I've never been so embarrassed in my whole life! I couldn't even tell the difference. Forgive me Nannan, please...please...please! You know you are much prettier than I am....it's my old fat body and my horrible hair that did it! At least I know how nice I'd look if were slimmer and had a nice hair style! But, man, you just can't trust anybody, so don't believe everything you see in a picture!

No blog on Friday

This picture has nothing to do with my topic, I just like it! Well I didn't blog yesterday and the reason is this. It was so muggy here, hot and humid I couldn't move. I had to lay in front of the fan all day - still covered in yucky sweat! But to make up for it, please look at the time..it's 5:30 Saturday morning. My least favorite day of the week and yet I am up early. We just a rain shower that was so loud it woke me up. I couldn't figure out what the noise was...I thought my fan had suddenly switched to 'high' all by itself! And Poor Tuffster was outside! Too dumb to come in from the rain
Well, we had no hot water for a couple of days, so I couldn't do my dishes. Had to have a sponge bath instead of a shower - just enough warm water for one sink full. I hate sponge baths - don't really feel that clean, and of course the mugginess just made it worse..started sweating again immediately. Anyhoo, the guys came by and put in a new hot water tank. The hot water tank is under our apt, through a trap door in the front closet. But the water was then too dirty to do the dishes...so I'm up early to get them done....they're soaking in hot water now as I type. We had no clean cutlery, or plates or mugs for the ever-necessary morning tea. But what a mess those guys made in the front closet....the floor is covered in dirt...now I have to clean that mess up too!
It's still really hot, even this early in the morning, so it can only get worse. I have a hard time breathing in the mugginess. When I was in Calgary, it was hot, but a dry heat and I had no trouble getting around.
I was very touched by Mikki's blog. But I'm sure she will come to feel at home in her new house. It takes time to adjust.
We just found out we forgot to renew our plates for the car...so Jim has been driving around with an unlicensed vehicle!!! The renewal form got lost in the junk on the computer desk. I found it Thursday night!!!
Well, must go now, do up those dishes and may go back to bed....not sure. Talk to you all later.

He who speaks with forked tongue

This is a picture of a man everybody knows, but who shall remain nameless in case the FBI is reading my blog. Suffice it to say...he is a world leader of the country directly to our South. He tried to divert attention away from all the major problems facing his country by making a big issue (pronounced "is-sue" not ishue - for mikki's benefit) over gay marriage. He wanted to amend the constitution banning the aforementioned. It failed of course, and he knew it would! The People to the South are not that stupid! But at least now he can proudly boast that he is against it, and hope that will gain him a lot more supporters since his ratings have gone downhill. Actually, this is a pretty good picture of him I think, much more handsome. He is a scary man...the insane look in his beady eyes and that little grin.....shudder! And he always looks like he's on the defensive...which of course he is.
Now, I know some people out there do not agree with me. But I have no problem with Gay Marriage. I simply cannot see how it is going to destroy the family. It has absolutely no effect on me or my marriage. And, it has been going on for years - co-habitation of gay people has not destroyed the world yet as far as I can see. "A rose by any other name, is still a rose". And I believe that a couple who have lived together and worked together to build a life deserve the same benefits as a married couple....benefits, insurance, inheritance etc etc etc.
If the world is being destroyed...it is being destroyed by the beady-eyed little snake above.
Okay, so if I get arrested, and sent to a Federal prison in the nameless country to the South, will you guys come visit me....or at least 'blog' me. I think they have computers in prison. Well maybe not, Federal prisons are tougher.
Edmonton lost drastically last night.....what is our little world coming to? It was a slaughter! I couldn't watch. So I watched Larry King interviewing prisoners from San Quentin! Did anybody see it? They picked prisoners who are the Cream of the Crop! All Born again Christians trying to make amends...pshaw! I wanted to see the real guys....like Scott Peterson and Richard Ramirez.....try interviewing them!!!!!
Well, teatime.....as you can see it is early in the morning. Can't go back to bed though...have an eye appointment at 1:15. My twice yearly visit to be tested for Glaucoma! Which means of course, I will have to leave the house...and it is pouring (guess what)? RAIN! Sheesh...I'll never get my annual sun burn. Over and out guys.

Yikes!

Ok, it's 9:45 a.m. I had just finished writing a very depressing blog, which I immediately regretted after pushing the 'publish post' button. So, ok, I'm in my pyjamas which consist of an ugly t-shirt, no bra, and a pair of men's pyjama bottoms. So, ok, the dishes aren't done from the night before, the floor hasn't been swept in at least four days, the bed isn't made (which can be seen by anybody who walks into the house), the kitchen table is covered with junk, mostly Jim's junk, stuff from his pockets, papers, ash trays, a baggie of illegal cigarettes..you get the picture. So, ok, Jim is snoring away on the couch in his shorts (not underwear shorts)...outside shorts. So, ok, my hair hasn't seen a comb in a day or two....the vacuum cleaner has rust on it from lack of use....there's a haze of smoke over my head. So, ok...the doorbell rings!!!!!! Now usually always I never answer the door due to my lack of caring whether I ever see a stranger in my house, ever..(non-strangers just walk in, that's how I knew it was a stranger). But, for some unknown Ungodly reason I decide to open the door!!! And guess who's standing there, looking all pristine in a crisp blazer and grey flannel slacks, groomed to perfection and fairly handome too I must say!

John Hamm......introducing the new candidate....also a very well-dressed, well coiffed person (woman)! I should have died right there on the spot!!!! Then, I foolishly tell him that I'm Jim Fitt's wife and he wants to see Jim and he barges right into my house...and there's Jim with his hair standing straight up, rubbing his eyes, with a blanket around his middle, thereby looking as if he's naked!!! Oh Horror of Horrors! Shocked me right out of my depression!!!!!

I remain humiliated to this very day....As soon as he left, I made the bed, did the dishes, did the laundry, tidied up, combed my hair, got dressed...but alas..it was far too late!..Sob sob sob!

Depression

If anybody is in a good mood please read no further. Depresssion is a depressing topic, and being anywhere near a depressed person will bring you down.
Right now I am going through a depressed period. It will pass. I'm not trying to depress anybody, but I just wish that more people understood Depression. You can't just 'snap out of it'. You can only muddle your way through as best you can.
I have been diagnosed with Major Depression, Dysthymic Disorder, and Social Anxiety Disorder. I am on medication, but medication alone does not always do it. Dysthymic Disorder is a condition of constant sadness. Looking back, I realize I've always had that condition. Throughout my life people have made comments about how little I smile.
The medication keeps me on a fairly even keel, but sometimes I get so down, I just hit the bed and stay there. There's a website that fully describes how I feel and if anybody is interested please check it out at www.psychologyinfo.com/depression/major . I just want people to understand!
One of the ways that my depression hits me is that I have become a compulsive spender! That is why I cannot go to the Mall! I will buy something that I cannot afford. Not just cheap things...usually expensive things...like our Surround Sound System. Or something - usually electronic - that I need, but can't afford. And I can't go to the Legion anymore, because I will gamble on the poker machines...and always lose. The safest place for me to be is in my home. I have only left the house once since we got back from Yarmouth...and that was to go to the Doctor and I had to hurry home. Jim does the grocery shopping because I will spend way too much. If I shop for clothes, I will probably buy two of three of the same item in different colors. I have some clothes I have never even worn yet! So the only way to control these impulses to avoid the temptation.
Also, I have an addictive personality - cigarettes, cola (caffeine), chocolate, hickory sticks and alcohol. I have managed to get the alcohol under control because it makes me too sick now.
Okay, that's enough I guess...but as I said, I just wish people would understand and not think less of me because of the way I act sometimes. As in withdrawn and unsociable, and gloomy.
Love you all guys...Take care.

Rain, Rain, Rain

I was trying to find an appropriate picture of rain to post on my Blog. There are millions of them! There are pictures of people laughing in the rain, dancing in the rain, frolicking in the rain...children playing in the rain, lovers kissing in the rain, carefree people walking in the rain with their pretty umbrellas...raindrops on leaves, raindrops on flower petals...beautiful rainbows, beautiful rainy forests, lovely rainy beaches, beautiful rainy country roads....well you get my drift. None of these images conveyed the message I was trying to get across! IT's Been RAINING for three days and nights!!!!!! Even this picture of rain on a window is kinda pretty. Jim has started building an arc but we're only taking one of each of three kinds of animal, an old man, an old woman, and a grouchy cat. That's enough for for our Arc, believe me.
Well, it was the weekend and as you've probably guessed by now, I don't do much (well, none actually) posting on the weekend. I mean what can I say when I practically sleep through them anyway. I did watch Coronation Street. It's not until you sit and watch it for two and a half hours straight, that you realize....hey, it's getting kind of boring!
The finals for the Stanley Cup start tonight, I think....everybody hope for Edmonton...only Canadian team that made it. I think the Traveling Men are getting home tonight, late...so they might miss the first game. Can't wait to see their pictures of Cole and Shannon.
Well, tea is ready....ahhh, Teaaaaaaaa!!!! What would I do without it? Later guys.

Friday Night

It's Friday night..woohoo..Jim is out and I am playing on the computer. This is a picture my daughter drew on the computer many, many, many years ago. I liked it so much I've kept it all these years. I bet she doesn't even still have it. She drew it herself using a computer program...don't know what one. I bet you're surprised to see this Mikki! I don't think Jamie was even born when you did this. Amazing how well pictures keep on the computer. It's been transferred from computer to computer as I've upgraded thru the years.
It poured rain all last night and poor Tuffykins was outside. He came in soaking wet around 7 this morning and wanted to rub all over me..Gross!!! Wet cat! Not as smelly as wet dog, but still gross.
I think there's a chance I may be going to Nfld soon. Not sure...have to check out the rates.
Paul and Sylvia (son and wife) are going to Mexico for summer vacation so I don't have to go there until after July 16, which gives me lots of time to go to Nfld. But I may have to win the lottery first.
Haven't heard from Dad or Jimmy for a couple of days...wonder when they are coming home. I hope somebody blogs tonight for me to read. Hope Teahound got her computer back. My computer is working slow tonight, so when I commented on Nannan's blog...it's there twice. I didn't think it went the first time.
Obviously I'm just rambling along, trying to find something to say. But, I'm just keeping in touch I guess. Hey, why didn't anyone tell me the name of my last blog was 'Sleey'? Minus the p. Shows how sleePy I really was.
Well, I guess that's it for now. I have nothing to rant about...sob sob sob...Later, guys.

Sleey

This is me and Tuffy, all day yesterday pretty well. I've been so tired lately...it's the antibiotics I know, but I am getting better. The ear doesn't hurt anymore, but I will continue to take the drugs until they are gone. There's nothing to watch on TV these days, just reruns. But last night on one of the cable channels, the Blue-Collar guys were on. They're funny, Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy, and I can't remember the other guy's name. So I watched that for an hour. I tried to find out when Big Brother would be starting but I couldn't find anything by Googling it. I'll try the CBS website itself to see if anything comes up. You can print out an application to be on Big Brother right from their Website, but I don't believe I would do well in that house. Other people drive me crazy...I'm much too sensitive, and people would probably make me cry. That, or I would freak out and scream at all of them to grow up. Plus, I wouldn't look very good in a bikini lounging around the hot tub. Although that would probably keep them away from me....hehehehe.
It's a dull day today, looks like it could rain. I don't have that much housework to do, so I think I'll lay down again. I was up at 6:30 as usual for my tea.
Come on Mikki......more pictures...we are greedy here. Over and Out!
