We were at the Tigers game tonight as the no hitter was happening, I never mentioned it, neither did my son or husband, we know better, but someone didn't cuz Anibal Sanchez pitched an unbelievable game tonight, and was robbed of the no hitter with 2 outs to go in the top of the ninth, by no less than Joe Mauer. UGH, but brilliant pitching by Sanchez. FYI for the baseball newbies, NEVER MENTION NO HITTER WHILE A NO HITTER IS HAPPENING!!! I don't buy into jinxes but I buy into this one.
Merry Christmas to you too
Merry Christmas to you too chatty Kathy . It's ok we all get they way. Tis the season.lol
Thanks misbehavin. We
Thanks misbehavin. We definately got the snow already here. And Texas of all the places. I'll never forget a couple years ago in march we got 9 inches of snow . My dogs had their coats on out playing in it with me and they but at the snow eating it as I built a huge snow woman. Yes I said woman. She had boobies as Bobby Beauchay would say. Lol . It was fun. Luckily I get to work from home and don't have to get out in it. I almost went off a bridge in 2004 in my forerunner on the ice one year and I usually can drive in it. Now I just stay at home and enjoy.
We got about 3-4 and now
We got about 3-4 and now sleeting. We got out in the truck and played a bit. Couldn't help it. Baby girl, my bird, is singing silver bells and the family is kinda sad we didn't get to be together but I'm kinda relieved. Still haven't got over 150 presents wrapped and nothing else ready for that matter. Have the flu, just getting over, and well, it just felt better to watch the snow and some good movies and just kick back. We will see everyone sat when its back up to 70 degrees . That's Texas weather for ya.
Sorry bout izzy. I got my
Sorry bout izzy. I got my mixed bleed dog balue the same way . He was part husky, part healer and was the smartest dog I ever had. He responded to sign language. He put one paw up to the window and tilted his head and looked at me w that one blue eye and one brown eye and I took him home and he was mine for the next 13 years. He died finally of cancer. Man I miss that dog. Everyday I would come home and raise 1 finger and he would sit , give me a kiss, and shake my hand everyday. We are having to postpone Xmas until Saturday because the weather is getting really bad, freezing rain and the streets are icing over. I don't want kids out driving on that because Texas does not experience ice enough for people to know how to drive on it. Not a good sitiation. Oh well, at home with my two jack russels, my hubby, and my bird and a hot cup of coffee. Fixing to snow pretty hard according to weather. Gonna cuddle up in my new wool and chanille blanket w a cup of coffee, a fire in the fireplace and watch national lampoons Christmas . I just love the griswalds.
Thanks for the sentiment bout
Thanks for the sentiment bout my cat. I wouldn't put people on the roads that ain't used to driving them bad either. Better to wait a few days and ensure safe travel then push it! Pets rock my world. Izzy will be missed for many years to come! I am curled up watching my favorite Christmas movie with my warm house slippers and throw blankie, and laptop in my lap! Life is good. We are waiting on over 14 inches to hit here sometime tonight. I love a white Christmas so maybe it will start snowing early enough to see it on Christmas!
Merry Christmas Rebecca :-) I
Merry Christmas Rebecca :-) I watched that movie last night for like the 50th time--lol :-)
My favorite part is when the music is "Here Comes Santa Claus" and it's showing the Swat-Team hauling ass to surround their house. Lmmfao!!!!!!
Be safe--ice SUCKS!!!!!! We're evidently supposed to get some storms here in Atlanta later tonight---right now it's foggy and about 50degrees. I'm staying home today too--have this cleaning and organizing project I want to get done today--other then that--it's a lazy day---and I just realized I am "Chatty Cathy" up in here---lol :-)
We usually have shrimp
We usually have shrimp cocktail for one. Not so much ham or turkey. One brother hosts each year. The one brother usually makes homemade lasagna. The other switches off. Doesn't matter it is always delicious. And always has all the trimmings. Rolls, a veggie, plenty of sweets, etc. I have to bag up all the stuff present wise and get it ready soon to go partake in it.
ONLY one thing great is missing this year. I lost my beloved cat Izzy 10 days ago. I found her dead the night i got pinned. SHE has been my best buddy for over 4 1/2 years. I keep thinking about her & missing her. I have been looking the kitties over on the humane society and found one in particular i really like. For me i have to look @ them. That is how i picked Izzy. Then i have to meet them. We have to connect, as crazy as that sounds....There are two others i like, but one in particular i am pretty sure is the right one for me. I called that particular humane society and left a message about my interest, contact phone number, that i had adopted from the humane society in the past, etc. It is about an hour away from me so i wanna be sure when i go down that if i have to have papers filled out it is already done. I just got a good feeling about this kitty cat. As crazy as this sounds i hope all you Kid Rock pals will pray for me to get and find the right cat. I am single and she was my only pet. My partner in arms, room mate, dear friend, and so on....I used to look forward to seeing her when i came in the back door. She would talk to me when i got home and i would talk back to her. She would let me know when she was pissed @ me, like if i stayed over night somewhere. NEVER forget the first time i did that. She followed me into the bathroom, got on my dirty clothes pile and proceeded to piss on my clothes (she had the most hateful look on her face and i swear her eyes were black.) This pet i am gonna miss forever & always will have a place in my heart for her. I have so many memories i hold of her..
Well we didn't have lasagna.
Well we didn't have lasagna. We had ham, plenty of deserts, mashed taters, green bean casserole, macaroni bake, a cheesy dip with tostitos, just basically more food then one can eat and not be miserable! Loved the iced sugar cookies and chocolate chippers! Loved the family time, which we don't get to do often. Got a nice foot warmer heater, a very nice soft scarf i intend to use with the cold weather & snow we got coming, and an ipod/iphone alarm clock, money, and a nice hoodie. I guess i am getting old i bought more for others and it doesn't even bother me! I don't need a whole lot @ this point and buy what i want as i want to generally. Now if i could just establish myself as a songwriter, as well as pass my RN state boards life would be great!. I would be exactly as i want things to be @ this point in my life. Well that and getting the new kitty i am looking @ for a new pet. Course she will have an odd name for a girl, but Ozzy will be her name! We will see this week about all that! Cross your fingers for me folks! I think she is the one!
I hope everyone has had a happy, healthy, loving, great Christmas of their own! Me personally, i can't complain! Was good this year!
Oh, so sorry Ajay..I had to
Oh, so sorry Ajay..I had to put one of my dogs down 2 weeks ago...so very difficult...he (Pongo--he was white with black spots and ticking) was 13 which is old for a retired greyhound--I was with him till the end. He was struggling, and I was in denial. We will see them again.
In the meantime, another Kitty needs a home. God Bless you for looking at the shelter.
Aw jeez, Ajay. I am so sorry
Aw jeez, Ajay. I am so sorry your lost your beloved pet. My tip is watch, if the kitten comes to you, purrs, and loves up on you, you got one. If it wanders around the room and wants nothing but food, pass. Hope you have a wonderful holiday with the folks.

I wish I could go on the cruise and meet all you guys, maybe next year. I was out of work 31/2 months and have over 6 g to pay in house taxes. There goes my cruise. I already told everyone that next Xmas only one thing each because there are just too many and I gotta do something for myself so I can check it off my bucket list. Hope y'all have fun and happy bday otb.i wish I could record my bird and put it on here because she loves to sing happy bird day . Yes I said bird day. She like that version better.i laughed my ass off in tears one day because as I was laying on my bed I could hear her in the living room singing, happy bird day to me, I'm a pretty girl, I got pretty feathers, da da da. Omg it was funny.
