Waiting on the snow

2006-02-06T17:01:00.000-05:00

Not much going on today other than cold and wind. We're under a snow warning for during the night.. up to 14 inches of snow by morning. I guess the snow is going to go right into Wednesday too! Woo Hoo! I might get a chance to run my new snow blower! After a few years without snow days in school... or very few snow days, Mikey is already asking if I think he'll have school in the morning.

I haven't posted from here since I got my laptop for Christmas which has Internet Explorer on it. I like both browsers.

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning! Woo Hoo! 6 more weeks of winter. Maybe I'll get to use my new snowblower!! We ran it once on New Years day just to see if I could run it. We had about 2 inches of slush and it was so soupy that the blower wouldn't throw it very far. It came out of the shoot and just fell to the ground because it was so soupy! LOL It runs...it's powerful, but it just

Feeling quite ill this morning. I had a killer headache when I woke up. It almost felt like sinus, but now it's feeling more like migrane. I took some sinus stuff and on top of the migrane feeling I'm feeling sick to my stomache now. I want so bad to lay my head back in the recliner and take a nap. Not sure I should... sometimes naps make these kind of headaches worse for me.Anyway... I found a

My eyebrows, even though I shape them up every few days, feel like they are touching each other in the middle... the skin between my eyebrows and my ears is tight... my neck is tight and stiff... I'm tired. Thinking hurts. Thinking ringing in my ears

Remember this yarn?It was my second hand spun yarn on my spindle. I posted about it a few weeks ago. Well shortly after I took it off my spindle and set the twist my step-Mom went into the hospital. I took it up with me to visit her one day. I had in mind a scarf... boring yes, but I wanted a very thin scarf and I thought this yarn would be the perfect thing for the look that I was going for...

The screen on the front isn't displaying anything anymore. I hate it... I used as a watch and as a way of seeing who was calling before I answered the phone.

Think no one cares you can't open that new fancy jar of spaghetti sauce? Think again! Businesses are watching what you say on your blogs and on message boards and they are listening to what you think and say about their products and businesses...It's

New Yarn

2006-01-15T13:40:00.000-05:00

Ok, it's not totally new. I've had it spun for a while now, I got chicken and stopped there. Long story, but it was hanging out on my spindle and I just stopped after I plied it. Well the other day I said to heck with it and finally took it off the spindle and set the twist. It's Kool-Aid dyed and approx. 68 yards."With a twist of lemon"

While watching the 5pm news yesterday this story [Coyotes in Lakeland neighborhood threaten household pets] (sorry...slow loading video) was one we payed a lot of attention to. Not only is Lakeland about 2 miles (as the crow flys) from us, but we've had our own coyotes right here in the woods across the street. We even saw one cross the street in front of us in the truck one day. We also have a

A career move?

2005-12-31T11:14:00.000-05:00

While out driving in the neighborhood yesterday it hit me that I needed a career move. It would be perfect and I could make tons at what I decided I should do. You see yesterday was trash day in our neighborhood and it was a heavy recycling day as well, being just after Christmas and all. It hit me as I passed a house that had a new computer box folded up out for the recycle men that I could be

No, I don't have a cold. I'm sick over an incident with the puppy. Friday morning while Mikey and I were out getting rid of the mounds of snow and ice we received, the puppy got a hold of my knitting bag. Not my whole bag, but the bag I had just one project in. What totally makes me ill over this is the fact the project was gift for someone and I'm pretty sure I could have had this done over the

It's a wishy-washy day. I don't know what to get into first. I had a heck of a time finding something to post about and then I decided that I should post about this. I hate days like because I never feel like I get much accomplished except for thinking about what I should have done. It's an anxiety thing. Which.... sorry this might be too much info, but the anxiety is being helped along by PMS.

Chances were if I went in I'd be told I couldn't go back out, so suffering was in order! lol Actually I think I have

I don't have much time to post this morning. I'm off to get the carb parts for my snowblower and then I'm gonna hit the grocery store for a few days worth of eats. I think the family might enjoy food at the end of the day this week :) I also think I'll enjoy having a snowblower around when the snow really starts to fly. We only got about 8 or so inches here at the house over the weekend, but the

I had Mikey call my Dad and step Mom last night specifically to tell them the Dr. told me not to talk and only call me if it's totally necessary. So what does the step Mom do first thing this morning??? Call to see how I was feeling!!! *SiLeNt ScReAm* *sigh* I'm always amused

I'm not as squeeky as I was yesterday... just a little and I've got a quiet whisper going on, but what little voice I have is on it's way out quick. I'm staying off the phone as much as possible and when I need to get the dogs attention I clap my hands. They've been very good so far today and have spent a good part of the morning sleeping. I managed to get an apointment for the Dr. at 4pm today.

We woke up again to a beautiful wintry covering. The sun is out now and sparkling off everything. Gray sky's are looming in the background though and that makes the sparkling snow even prettier. We also had a red sky this morning. Could make for an interesting few days. The squalls have drifted to the north for now, but they look like they might be on their way back down. I can also see to the

I'm headed out in a few minutes to grab a few things for our Thanksgiving dinner. I'm going to try and beat the snow. I don't think we're going to get a lot of snow, but I guess it's going to drop below freezing around rush hour so I want to be off the roads way before then. Besides I have to be at the school 15 minutes early to get Mikey today because they are having their sheltering drilltoday.

Amanda put the call out for people who knit socks. I raised my hand. I admit it... I'm a sock knitter. It's almost a sickness! I might need a 12 step program lol. j/k I'm not that bad.But I told her to stop over and take a look at some of the socks I've made. I only have a few pairs left... I've given several away and the puppy got a hold of another pair. That was heart breaking as it was my

Snow!!!Yes It's about ready to snow here.Nevermind! scratch ready to snow.... I just glanced out the window... it's snowing! It's official... Winter has arrived in Baldwinsville! <::EDITED::>Darn it all... I had a post all ready to go... jumped off line to go get my Step-Mom from the hairdresser and come back to half of it gone and makes no sense at all! All that made any sense to me is what's

Wednesday

2005-11-09T08:19:00.000-05:00

Yep it's Wednesday.... nothing major going on here. I could not come up with anything to blog about yesterday and by the time I remembered it was Tuesday and I needed to put up a new poll, well.... I was drifting off to sleepy land. Do forgive me, won't you? :)There was an attempted home invasion right here in my township. That's a little scary to someone who's home alone for a good part of the

Yep, it's Monday

2005-11-07T09:12:00.000-05:00

We had a really nice weekend. Sherm tried on a new toy for size.You can check that out here. From what I saw... it fit just perfect! and the smile it created... well only Christmas morning for an 8 year old brings bigger smiles! Mikey and I went out and about Saturday while Sherm played with his new toy. We went to the new Tractor Supply store that just opened up. I'd never been to one before,

Changing the look...

2005-11-02T18:02:00.000-05:00

It's that time again...Time between holidays...Time to change the look of this here blog...Pardon any out of place things or colors that make you go cross eyed if you happen to stop by while I'm shuffling things around.

Feeling better and bye bye Halloween

2005-11-01T15:44:00.000-05:00

I'm feeling a ton better. Thanks for the comments and e-mails!Now I just hope there is enough of this antibiotic to keep this bug gone cause if I need anything else I won't be able to take it for at least 10 days from today! :0 *DOH!*I spent the morning taking down our Halloween display and cleaning up the yard a bit. What took a full day to put up for our Halloween display only took 35 minutes

Happy Halloween!

2005-10-31T08:27:00.000-05:00

Ghoul Morning...Vhere half I bean? Sick.. blahahahaha....No, really... I was...I had the most horrid night sleeping Saturday night. Fever, tossing, turning, chills, hot, couldn't wake up to take anything, strange dreams over and over and over, moaning in my sleep or at least I felt like I was moaning.. I could have been dreaming about it though. By the time I woke up and was able to think about

Going once, going twice...

2005-10-27T22:02:00.000-04:00

Ok knitters I have up for auction a small lot of sock yarn that I simply do not like. I know there are people out there that love this stuff, but it's just not my cup of tea.Click the pic below to go to and read all about it at eBay(hope that link works.. if not click the eBay button to the left)

Boxer Shorts Day!! Woo Hoo for boxer shorts! heheIt's also Thursday... like one more day until the weekend and it's not getting here very fast. Not fast at all. This week has dragged. I can't wake up again. I've been napping during the day. A 2 hour nap yesterday. Totally missed the last part of All My Children yesterday. Woke up in a panic because of the phone ringing. I hate when that

Project Report

2005-10-24T21:44:00.000-04:00

Another project to mark as done! I finished these up before bed last night... wanted to wait 'til today to get a pic of them though. I had to do my nails :P These started out for Mikey and once again a project for him has ended up with a different owner. This time they are mine. His pudgie little fingers would have no way fit in the fingers. A total over stight in my book. I could have made

What a day...

2005-10-24T14:25:00.000-04:00

I'm tired already! The puppy.. Miss Lucy Loo who isn't such a puppy anymore... she's over a year old, but she's been a royal pain in the butt all day. Barking out the front window at nothing.... staring at nothing... growling.... again at nothingOr so I thought... I finally caught her in mid growl and got a look at what she's been keeping me running for all day....On full zoom so it's farther

It's Friday!

2005-10-21T09:14:00.000-04:00

Yay! The weekend is here!I want to thank everyone on their comments and emails regaurding my last post....which by the way is now deleted. I think it's best to delete it and leave it in the trash for now. I spoke my mind and now that I have I'm ready to get the goods on the freak and finally put him in his place. I'm having some panic type problems when I go to the store, but with some help from

Went for breakfast/lunch/dinner

2005-10-16T22:41:00.000-04:00

After a really bad morning...Anxiety finally showed it's ugly face in a way that it hadn't in months... anyway no one had breakfast and that time ran into lunch time and dinner time was right around the corner... I was in bed until almost 2pm so we went out for dinner to the Old Country Buffet. The Sunday menu is much nicer than during the week or on Friday. I tried something I'd never heard of

Rest well camp

2005-10-15T23:48:00.000-04:00

We closed up camp for the season today :(Sleep well you wonderful camper.It's sad to see it all closed up... It looks so lonely. Seems like only yesterday Mikey and Matt were helping open camp.... Matt you would have had fun today and we could have used the extra muscles. We have to tarp it still, but we can't do it until Tom's RV Service winterizes the pipes for us. We're going to spend more

It's Friday...

2005-10-14T10:06:00.000-04:00

and I can't seem to wake up again...I went back to make the bed after Sherm left for work... layed across it to shut off my fan and fell asleep!Woke up startled when I heard something being crunched in the livingroom by the puppy. One of Mikey's toy guns is now in the trash.... I just hope she didn't eat any of the lazer pointer that was taped to the top of it and is now shattered like a tree

Now I'm messin' with them!

2005-10-13T08:57:00.000-04:00

Bam.. slide... crinkle... ting... ting... crinkle..Not a peep out of either dog.Lucy had already been a running wild dog this morning doing figure 8's in the livingroom and kitchen and was tuckered out to the point of sleeping with her eyes open ... I hate when dogs do that!I knew what the noise was this morning though and I half expected it because I hadn't been out to feed the birds yet. It's a

Heart attack...

2005-10-12T08:50:00.000-04:00

Hold your shorts...I didn't have a heart attack, but I sure got a heck of a cardio work out that left me with a pounding heart that felt like I was going to have one though...The event took place as follows....Rattle...

Me Time

2005-10-11T09:20:00.000-04:00

From the book of Sherman....Snuggled in bed last night, one dog on the bed and one on the floor, we lay watching a few minutes of the last quarter of the football game before drifting off to sleepy land when a commercial comes on that sparks an enlightening conversation....The TV commercial was for Dr. Pepper... song on the commercial was "I would do anything" by Meatloaf... gotta love Meatloaf!

Happy...

2005-10-10T08:40:00.000-04:00

Angelfood Cake Day!ok.. ok.. and Happy Columbus Day, even though the official Columbus Day isn't until the 12th. Today is just a day to extend the weekend.How was your weekend? We didn't do much. Relaxed mostly ... I should be really rested and ready to go, but now I can't seem to wake up. Strange. Maybe I need to get up away from this computer and get going on making beds and doing laundry.I did

Lazy day already

2005-10-08T10:07:00.000-04:00

Yep... it's a lazy day already. We're just sitting here watching cartoons with Mikey. What a great family activity! LOL I'm only on my second cup of coffee for the day and we haven't been up that long. Sherm's MRI went well last night. He had a closed one.... eek! It gives me the freaks just thinking about it. He said he actually had fun. Fun? I knew that man was strange when I met him, but this

It's...

2005-10-07T09:14:00.000-04:00

Bathtub Day!! Woo Hoo!! Take a bath tonight and relax. Start your weekend out right!!It's also.... FRIDAY!!! finally! UGH! this week dragged. At least it felt like it took forever for today to arrive. We all woke up late this morning. Even Mikey and that is so not like him. Usually he's the one waking me up and he'll have been up for an hour watching cartoons before I get up. Anyway... I can't

Knitting and stuff

2005-10-06T09:39:00.000-04:00

As promised here's a pic of Sherm's house socks. Fuzz and all from being worn already. The yarn is Lion brands Lumber Jack Black. I love their sock yarn and wish they'd put out new colors. I have all that they make and though there are plenty of other brands out there I think theirs is just as good as any other brand without costing me a family meal. Though I have to say I tried Opel and I wasn't

Getting Old, Fall Cleaning and Knitting

2005-10-05T11:00:00.000-04:00

Have you ever thought about your parents getting older? I mean... really sat down and looked at them and thoughtabout their age, how they do things, how they see the world?Ever get scared? I have.. a lot! More recently as I see my dad and step mom sometimes 4 or more times a day. There are days they scare the living crap out of me. I don't want Mikey in a car with either of them anymore which is

Catching Up and Halloween Decorations

2005-10-03T19:36:00.000-04:00

Not much has been going on around here. Seems like I just get a few minutes to jump on-line and someone wants something from me *sigh* oh well... someone has to keep things going around here... it might as well be me. I'm the one with the fewest aches and pains, though I have to say the knee I had surgery on a few years ago has a new pain.... a pain just like I had in it before, but this time

Yarn part 2

2005-09-28T21:34:00.000-04:00

Well here they are... the final product from my first yarn pictured in the post below.They are a bit short, but will be nice with a long sleeve shirt or sweater this fall. oh and speaking of fall... the weather man mentioned that horrid winter cuss work.... well... 2 horrid winter cuss words... LAKE EFFECT!! I think it's lake effect rain, but it's still lake effect. It'll be a cold rain coming in

Yarn, crime and things...

2005-09-23T09:23:00.000-04:00

::Project Report::Well here it is... my first yarn! Dyed with 1 packet Flavorade Berry Punch and 1 packet Mixade Berry Punch... there was a differance in the colors and they mixed up cool. The pic shows it a bit bluer than it really is. To me it's a bit more robins egg color than the pic. I can't wait to finish Sherms house socks so I can knit this up into something. I'm not sure how much I have

Tee's, News, Peace and a question...

2005-09-21T07:55:00.000-04:00

I was sitting here wondering what I should blog about this morning. I can imagine some of you are getting tired of reading how I cleaned this or did that, or washed clothes or chased the puppy... blah, blah BLAH! Sometimes I get tired of writing about those things so BLAH to blah, HA!So I was surfing the net and checking out the craftster forum when I remembered I wanted to find a tee shirt for

What a crock...

2005-09-20T08:18:00.000-04:00

Crock... pot....that is...Over at Lisanne's she is sharing an awesome sounding dessert crock-pot recipe today and that reminded me about my recent crock pot cooking over the weekend. Ok it's not all that special, but it was a milestone in my book. For the longest time I couldn't get Mikey to eat my stew. He hated it which really sucked because when I make stew it's a 2 day meal and it's so darn

Tired, laundry.. tired of laundry LOL

2005-09-19T07:46:00.000-04:00

It's wash day! Yee ha! NOT! I didn't realize that all last week Mikey was putting on his new school shirts while he was home sick instead of his older grub/play shirts. Now I have to wash all his good shirts so he can have something to wear the rest of this week. UGH! kids LOLI couldn't get to sleep last night. When I finally drifted off I felt like I was still awake. I hate that feeling. I

Finished

2005-09-18T13:27:00.000-04:00

Well after breaking blogger last night I finally was able to finish the updates here this morning. Sorry if you arrived and things looked really bad. I joke when I say I broke blogger last night... blogger had a few problems just as I was trying to change some colors and things kept giving me errors when I tried to republish my template.I think I have things looking ok.... my color choices are a

Not so blah today!

2005-09-17T10:22:00.000-04:00

Feeling not so blah today. I hate when a funk comes over me and I can't shake it, but it's gone now and who knows what yesterday was about. For all I know it could have been a hormonal thing... YIKES!! I can't believe I typed that!! *SCREAM*Today is going to be spent doing things around the house. The livingroom carpet needs shampooing. Had to have a little chat with our older dog this morning...

hmmmm...

2005-09-16T15:28:00.000-04:00

Feeling a bit funky, strange, blah, sad, yucky, depressed, almost on the edge of crying-but can't! It's a general funky feeling day. Maybe it the lack of sunshine today. My mind hasn't slowed down too much in the past few days. Mikey has been home sick since Monday after school with pneumonia. Pour kid... his first full week of school and he's out sick. Now I've got a sore throat, ears feel

::WARNING:: ::CAUTION::::RANT AHEAD::Over at the CNN.com website they have a little photo gallery with some pictures from inside the convention center in New Orleans. One of the photos had this caption."Garbage and feces litter the floors and countertops of a kitchen in the convention center."I've looked and looked at photos all over the net of the hurricane victims and how they were living after

It's Friday...

2005-09-09T08:26:00.000-04:00

Yep... it's Friday and I survived the first 1/2 week of school and getting up before dawn cracks. I'm looking forward to the weekend. We're planning on coating the driveway and hanging out relaxing. I also want to try and get some of my spun yard Kool-Aid dyed.::Things Found::I'm not sure what these things are. The first one was on my washing machine. I'm assuming it's something Sherm found in

Yawn...

2005-09-07T08:21:00.000-04:00

Wow 5am is early! Especially since I've been sleeping 'til 10am all summer!Mikey is off on his first day of middle school... he was out the door at 6:30. I don't remember getting up that early when I was in the same school. Maybe because I lived so close and I was a walker. I think I left the house at about 7:40am to be there for 8. We had a little moment this morning when we both thought he lost

I can't afford my gas

2005-09-06T22:32:00.000-04:00

No this isn't a cry because I can't afford my gas.... not yet anyways. It's close, but I'm still ok lolSherm has been telling me about this song that the radio station he listens to has been playing like crazy. Well tonight on one of the message boards he hangs out at, someone posted a link to it. It's Flash and has a little video with it. Too funny!It's called... "I can't afford my gas"Enjoy!

2005-09-04T01:05:00.000-04:00

Sitting here relaxing a bit, watching "School of Rock" and thinking back over the events of the day. I was able to stay away from the news pretty much most of the day. Finally this evening when Sherm and Mikey were on the computers and I sat knitting a sock, I clicked over to FoxNews. I'm so glad to see that the media is *finally* showing "good news" about the disaster. One gentleman had gotten a
