The amount of home invasions and burglaries is increasing at an alarming rate. The economy is driving people to do random acts of violence in order to provide for themselves and their families. Alarm systems are being installed left and right in an effort to keep break ins to a minimum. Scary times here folks!
I’ve gotten to the point where I’m finding myself getting tired of drinking tea all the time. Hot tea after meals and iced tea the rest of the time. Time to find something new and different. I know Kool Aid isn’t new, but it certainly is different. Soon it will be time to be breaking out the hot spiced apple cider, with a splash of Captain Morgan’s spiced rum!
Boy I can remember the days that I looked forward to sleeping in late on my Saturday mornings, those most certainly were the days. Now it is all about getting up as early as I possible can handle and get started on all the chores that have been building up all week, done and out of the way. The main thing is all of the laundry, and it really sucks because I have both the washer and dryer downstairs in the basement and I have to trudge up and down those stairs all day long.
But you gotta do what you gotta do as the saying goes, one day I’ll live in a house were the washer and dryer on the main level of the house, that certainly would be great improvement in my life! A girl can dream can’t she?
Last night we had one hell of a rain storm. Loud thunder, a great showing of lightening strikes as well. This morning as I was leaving for work I noticed that my neighbor’s tree had been hit, was down and was blocking their drive way. I don’t know if they even realized it at that point. I don’t get along all that well with them so I didn’t take the time to knock on their door to see if they were aware of the situation. Glad it wasn’t in my yard.
Last night I had the munchies, big time, but was too lazy to fix anything extravagant, so I figured a nice bag of popcorn with lots of butter and salt, and a nice tall glass of ice cold milk would to the trick nicely. I got a cold glass out of the freezer and filled it to the brim with milk and placed it back into the freezer to become extra cold and placed a bag of microwave popcorn in my old reliable microwave and next thing you know I smelled something burning, and it didn’t smell like popcorn.I was in the other room tending to the needs of a few of my critters when I first smelled it, so I went running into the kitchen with all of the critters at my heels right behind me, in what they must have thought was a racing game. Upon entering the kitchen I found that the microwave was on fire and smoking like crazy and creating the most horrible stench. I got the fire out pretty quickly, it hadn’t amounted to much, but it is now totally100% ruined and now I need to find a new one.
Of course my popcorn was ruined, but my milk was nice and cold and tasted great with some chocolate doughnuts that I had in the cupboard. Now I am going to need to find a replacement for my burnt up, old worthless little microwave. Oh well, the next one will just have to be bigger and better.
