No I don't usually post anything on the weekends, but had to pass this on for any and all to use.
Enjoy!
Dear Boss,
I regret to inform you that I am unable to come to work today. You see, I am suffering from a terrible affliction called Can't-Fit-Into-A-Damned-Thing-in-my-Closet. While I realize that this condition is not contagious, the terrible mood associated with it can be passed along quite easily and I would hate to spread that to the rest of the staff. Also, I am quite sure that you would not want me there wearing the one thing that does still fit me: my own skin. No, it would not be a good thing to sit at one's desk totally naked now, would it? I daresay it might frighten the clients!
Therefore, I feel it is in the best interests of all concerned if I spend some time alone at home, taking my misery out on the treadmill instead of yourself and my co-workers.
I know you'll understand. I'll see you in a couple of weeks when I am 5 pounds thinner and therefore able to squeeze my fat ass into something appropriate.
Yours Truly,

Well We Wanted Summer
I am sitting today in my over air-conditioned home, thinking about going for a swim in my 80 degree pool watching the guys working, literally their guts out. My oldest son has been working there most of the week and I have been fortunate that he comes and has a visit and some lunch with his Mommy and of course I love it. I feel needed when I have to make something for someone. Anyways I sent him back to his crew with popsicles, feeling terrible for all of them having to work in this heat. The boss today is lying on the concrete in the shade, suffering from sun stroke waiting on a relief crew to come and let him go home.
I know we all hate our jobs, well those that have them, but think of the guys and gals working outside on a day like today in this heat. Maybe you have some working in your neighborhood, how about taking them something to help them cool off; even if it is just a glass of ice water. I am sure they will appreciate it.
Okay that is my good deed for today! Now on to my ranting!
Remember a few posts back, probably quiet a few, waiting on a decision from the government regarding unemployment that they told me I wouldn't be getting but then said to apply and do my bi-weekly thing. Today is the 13th, Friday the 13th (scary) and decision was to have been made on the 12th, well surprise they haven't. I didn't expect that they would, but don't give a date and then change your mind. And they of course don't say anything else in regards to the change of date, well actually there is no new date, just that a decision hasn't been made. So still waiting on my money that I had to pay off my pay every other week whether I wanted to or not, because we don't have a choice in that regards. I wonder how much interest accumulates over a persons lifetime of the monies we have paid into unemployment. Where is that, and where does it go?
Today I have to get outside at some point and cut the grass, should of done first thing this morning before the heat took over. I did get some of my plants that are done for the summer cut back and cleaned up, but still have the grass to tackle. I think that will be a later today thing, possibly in my swim suit and a cold beer in hand.
Oh! and the diet plan, yeah who am I kidding, Donkey and I just can't do it!!!! We are fat people and we eat like fat people, no offense to fat people. We enjoy our food, love our cold beer and what the hell throw in some chocolate and we are happy. Will-power I have, I actually have lots if I want, but when it comes to saying No, just isn't gonna happen I guess. So back to my original idea of dieting. Duck tape across our mouths and we starve till we have lost the weight. :) Exercise I hear works pretty good, nope don't think I can do that either, sorry. Anyone who knows me, knows I am lazy. If there is an easy way to do something I will find it and exceed at making it look like I am working hard. So I think the diet is currently out the window, until I have to wear a moomoo, I will be happy with who I have grown into. I will try not to grow too much more! Just keep telling ourselves that.
We have nothing planned for the weekend. Donkey is golfing Saturday, and I will probably be here at the computer linking away. It is a hard job but someone has to put all those annoying links in your web pages they don't just fall out of cyber space and land there all on their own.
Oh a tidbit of Donkey knowledge. (stop laughing) On the 23, 24, 25 and 26th you will be able to look up to the moon and see a red star; that red start is the planet Mars. How cool is that, it can be seen with the naked eye but if you have a telescope you will have a better view. This won't be seen again for 81,000 years. Keep your eyes to the moon over those nights have a look at our future intended planet earth (not really but it is in the movies).
Some advertising now, by me for me: Upright antique piano, dated back to the late 1800's free to anyone who can get it out of my house, I have need of the space. Comment here or email me, please! It has to go! Does need tuning, but it is a beautiful antique piece quite lovely but I just don't have the room for it anymore. Took four men and one bitch to get it into my house so be prepared if interested, we will not deliver or possibly help with the removal.
That is it for the week my followers, I have to finish up around here for the day and get my butt motivated outside to the pool, yes I will cut the damn grass before Donkey gets home.
love and hugs to you all and have a Great Weekend!!

Humid!
Good morning everyone or afternoon, I guess depends on when you read this. Kind of a humid dull day out today but at least it isn't presently raining.
Birthday party was a success! My adorable little grandson had a good time at his party I think, was in good spirits, well that could of been the pop. His birthday cake was great, done as a train with all the fixings, very cute, job well done by my daughter. It was really nice to see my three children all in the same house, trust me that doesn't happen very often, can't remember the last time it did happen. Obviously they don't get along, and haven't since probably they were teens. Someday they will realize family is very important and your siblings can be your best friends if you let them. Life is too short to hold grudges regardless of the origins, and like I always say, "you will miss me when I am gone." This very much applies to them and each other, we only get one shot at life, why not make it a happy one.
Had a shower finally, gas company finally came yesterday at 3, great technician, he should be working for a better company. All fixed up, and was able to have a wonderful hot shower 20 minutes later, sure take things for granted until they are gone. Had to go and purchase a de-humidifier last night to help with the dampness in our 100 year old basement as per his recommendation. Wow, they are a bit more expensive than I would of thought, but if it helps and prevents future issues it will be worth it.
Unable to do any link building today, the site I usually work on is temporarily down so I have been catching up on things around the house. How do two people always have so much laundry? I think I do laundry everyday, someone must be dropping theirs off too.
Let me continue on with my story of my grandson's birthday party. He had decorations everywhere and a table full of finger foods, perfect for little people who like small nibbles. And it was great to see family and friends. The little monster got tons of toys, spoiled, and was completely running on orange soda at full tilt. We continued on to a great BBQ with all the fixings, lots of food, they will be eating leftovers for a while. And the weather was nice enough to be outside, a bit humid but was still nice. I always feel sorry for the other little people when they don't understand where their presents are and how come they don't get any. My little grand daughter really wanted to be right in there with the gift opening and it always makes me sad to watch them. But it is her birthday next month and the roles will be reversed and I will be feeling bad for the other one. Kids are just so cute, even when they are hopped up on sugar and pop, if we could only bottle up some of that energy we all could run around and act insane. My little grand daughter at one point was putting on a dance routine, she is so cute demonish but cute, had herself an audience so she had to entertain. One of our nieces was there and they became instant friends, which was nice, they both had a little girl to play with instead of all boys. Picked some lovely flowers out back and handed them out to everyone. So simple the times of being young. All in all I think it was a success and I am sure my daughter is good and tired today from all the prep and then the clean up. Thanks for having us, love sharing these moments!
Next month is back to school time for all the little hell raisers of the neighborhood, thank goodness, keep them locked up for at least part of the day. My little grandson will be one of those big boys, I think he is excited, well as far as he understands. And grandma is nervous for him, he still is just a monster baby to me, undecided if I am going with him on his first day, he has asked me to, but thinking it might be a bit too emotional for me. Isn't that silly, but all I can think is this is the beginning of his adventure in being a big boy and he really isn't going to want his grandma as much, selfish right? I won't be able to whisk him away for days and return him when I am worn out anymore, he now will have somewhere that he has to be. And then will be the friends, why would he want to hang out with us when he has friends to hang out with, which is great, but I am already jealous. Maybe I will have to convince my grand daughter to come and have sleep overs and play with grandma, like that is going to happen! Will have to see about bribing her with something :) the little brown eyed demon that she is. I guess I have to wait and see and not get myself already bent out of shape wondering about the what-ifs.
The link site is finally up and working so I guess I should pretend that I am working really hard at it.
Hope you have a very Happy Day, stay cool and fingers crossed that it doesn't rain until bedtime.
love and hugs

He's Four!
Today is my grandson's birthday, he is four years old and on his way to being a little man. Can't believe how fast the time is already going, he heads to school even this September, and he is just so little and cute it is hard to imagine.
Well some drama goes along with my little grandson today! He got out of the house last night and was found by the police on a very busy corner in the city. When my daughter was telling me the story this morning my heart I think stopped beating and fell out. All is well but how scary for them. Thank goodness she didn't call us last night and tell us, I don't know what or how we would of dealt with it. And wait till grandma sees the little bum tonight at his birthday party, he is going to be getting a lot of hugs and kisses. Can't imagine our lives without him in it and how scary to think that something terrible could of happened to him and we would of slept through it. It is upsetting me even more as I think about it. So I better change the subject!!!!!!!
So still no hot water for us. I guess there was a miss communication on my part regarding the appointment I booked for Tuesday between 1 and 5, it actually was booked for Wednesday between 1 and 5. That is right I am an idiot and I wouldn't understand what day I was booking an appointment for, you know I don't mind being without hot water and having no shower now going on the second day. Seriously don't they have complete control over us. And this is after I spoke to them yesterday twice when the guy still wasn't here after 5 and they said he was running 25 minutes late and would be right along, thank you for my patience. They don't know me very well, I don't have patience! Then the next call and service guy is now over an hour late, oh no you don't have an appointment. What! So now I get to talk to a young manager named Heather who will call back in an hour and see if she can't get someone here for us. Oh and Heather, she didn't call back and this morning when I called to scream some more, they don't have a Heather who is a supervisor. Bull crap frigging company! And what can we do about it, well nothing really they have you by the short and curlys and really don't think they care.
Anyways Donkey went and had a look last night to see if he could maybe do something, nope that didn't turn out, but in the mean time we discovered that the furnace that I just had cleaned on the 26th of July, now hold on, guess what, isn't working either. Gas problem, do you think! So I call again this morning at 7:30 to make sure someone is coming, oh do you have a booking? no I kid you not. Yes I do and it is supposedly today between 1 and 5, well let us just check that for you. Whatever!!!! So I also inform the knowledgeable person on the other end of the phone, and her name is Diane, that the furnace is also not working, is there possibly a gas problem? She suggests checking that there is power on and check the fuse panel, uh, didn't think of that, come on don't you think we did that first. Well maybe un-plug the hot water tank and plug in a blender to make sure there is power, not that all the lights blinking would mean anything, right. Explain again to lovely third world Diane, have done everything we can think of, but still not working and neither is the furnace, and wait for it, this is good. "I wonder if there is a gas problem", really Diane, aren't you so smart, good for you. Now how about you get that technician here and he can maybe have a looky loo. Oh sure let's book you an appointment, what, how about the one you told me I already have, oh right, well he should be there between 1 and 5. Great thanks, appreciate it, have a nice, you know what, day.
Okay enough about that too! I am getting myself really wound up!!!!
So here I sit, in desperate need of a shower, the pool just doesn't always cut it when you maybe need to wash your hair or shave your spider legs. And obviously my mood isn't as good as it usually is, you know me, happy go lucky girl that I am. And I have to drive into my grandson's birthday party so I can't even have a very tall glass of lovely wine. But the day will end on a happy note, birthday cake and some big cuddles from my lovely grand children.
I can't even get any work done properly today, my head is so not on right. And the guys are still working across the road and it stinks from the tar they are using. Nice try Donkey saying they can add some pine smell to it, right, I may be blond but it is natural no root seepage, thank you very much. Glad when they are done and out of there and the neighborhood can go back to quiet and smell better. Well if I don't get a shower it won't.
Okay that got a lot off my chest, maybe I will have just one glass of wine, not even a big one. I think I should before the repair guy comes or I might not get hot water today, there will be a technician locked in the basement with a headache, self inflicted of course.
Until tomorrow my friends. Have a Happy Day!
Happy 4th Birthday! Monster Baby!
love and hugs

Would Like Some Hot Water - Please!
Yep, that is right, we have no hot water. Thought something was not right yesterday with the hot water, thought it might of just been me. Last night cleaning up after dinner, for sure, there is no hot water. Cold showers for everyone! Well they do say a cold shower is a means of weight lose, no really I read it somewhere. But the gas company is coming today, between 1 and 5, why can't they give you a real time. Not that I go anywhere but still. Would be like saying I will pay my bill between the 1st and the 30th, but not sure what month. :)
Today is shaping up to be a nice day, we ended up with some good rain yesterday afternoon, free plant watering, thanks Mother Nature. Was really dark and gloomy this morning but now the sun is out in all of its glory and it is getting hot. You know what that means. I will be on the deck this afternoon working on my chocolate tan. Well after the gas company comes.
How about some comments my loyal followers, would love to hear or see really, what you think. Or suggestions of topics or maybe to just catch up. You can do it, voice your opinion on what you see me ramble about or want me to ramble about.
Last night for dinner I did a stir fry, remember Day One, turned out good, was filling and enough leftover for Donkey's lunch today. Then we went for a walk and came home and ate creamsicles and a chocolate bar. Day One was a bust! But we at least went for a walk. And I didn't have any wine so I get extra points! Shall see how Day Two goes. So far so good for me. Don't know about this afternoon sitting on the deck in the hot sun, I might need something cool to drink and you know it isn't going to be water.
Well I have some beds to make after getting all the linen washed and dried and bathrooms to clean. How do two people make such a mess all the time. Would think it would all stay so nice and tidy, someone is not cleaning up after themselves and I won't name names, but I think he knows who I am talking about.
Wish me luck with the hot water, last time it took four days for them to get us a new tank, thank goodness for the pool, at least we can somewhat stay clean and not too smelly.
Have a great day all!

Let's Get Back To Normal
Company is gone, :( and now it is time to get back to not being on holidays. Not that I was really on holidays, but when you have company who are you want to be part of the experience. And who doesn't like holidays? Took our company back to Toronto yesterday afternoon in the rain and humidity, I guess if your holidays have to end they should end in rain.
This morning I woke up as per usual with my old dog and Donkey on his way to work. Then it was time to get house back to normal, well as normal as we can be anyways. I have house issues and I know this but I can't help it. Things belong somewhere and that is where I want them to be and to stay. Drives Donkey nuts I am sure, but he is patient, me not so much. So puttering I went, and pretty much got things to where I want them, well for now anyways, that is another issue of mine, I like to re-arrange furniture, a lot. And that is what I might do this afternoon, will see.
But I think they had a good visit, weather was good for them on the most part, and they were able to see the family that they like to see. And thank goodness that those that they don't didn't show up. Is that mean? Well the old saying works for me, you can pick your friends but not your family. Most of the family I would rather not know and sometimes that includes mine too. :) But really I do already miss them, we travel together at least once a year and they come home when they can, and always great to see them and hang-out. We will get together again at Christmas in Florida, can't wait, and no I am not going to figure out how long that is, depresses me to think about winter and snow and cold. Yuck to winter!!!!!!!
Okay I have to stop thinking about the above, not going to say again until it is here.
So back to normal we will go, and diet! Yep you heard me, Donkey and I are going to seriously look at loosing some weight. And by loosing I mean I don't want to find it again, I want it gone. We ate like we were on holidays, too much and too good. Now it is back to reality, weiner water soup and lots of walks. I don't exercise but I will go for a walk. And we are not walking to get an ice cream this time around, really doesn't work when you are trying to loose some weight. I don't think either of us has been this big in a very long time and speaking for myself, it is bad and not happy about the person who is looking at me in the mirror. So wish us luck! Any ideas we will appreciate the support. Oh and I can't forget I am still going to drink my wine, grapes are good for you so I don't want to give it up. I said weight lose not detox.:)
On that note today will be Day One! And Donkey already ate part of what I was creating for dinner. Back to the drawing board. Too hot to think about dinner yet, will think later, after a few glasses of grapes.
This week is suppose to be another hot one, we are just having a great summer for a change, the bit of rain we have been having doesn't even bother me. It is keeping the grass green and my plants looking great. We had so much rain yesterday I had to pump off the pool, and now today everything looks so happy and full. Not really any sun out, but it sure is hot and humid. Some of Donkey's guys are working at the school, poor buggers, feel bad for them having to work in this heat. But they chose to be roofers and not work for the government. Yeah I don't where that came from, but wouldn't it be nice if we all could work for the government, make tons of money and really not do anything. And I am not talking about unemployment or welfare. Speaking of unemployment; suppose to get a decision this Thursday one way or the other. Will let you know, I am curious of the decision, and the reasoning behind it if they get one. Really don't think I will qualify and that is fine but would be nice to get some of the money I have paid into it back.
I am rambling aren't I?
So on that note I think I will go and move some furniture. Donkey lost his favorite chain a couple of weeks ago, so I will see if I can find it by moving things around a bit. Have a good day everyone and talk to you tomorrow.
love and hugs
