Dear Everyone.
guess wat? I have been busy.
Today I skated. It was fun. I love Log Cabin John syrup rink. We have such a blast. we are called the menopause clan, hahahahahhahaha okay, maybe it was menopause mob.
Okay that is not so funny. However, it is sort of funny that we all desire to be freezing cold.
Anyway, I skated today, not too shabby and had a mighty fine time.
The french class: It is going well. Trés trés bon.
The drawing class. I still dislike the teacher, but the second class was a great improvement.... maybe she heard the Indian lady and me in the parking lot ranting about her.
I brought in for the still life: an orange squash thing that looks like a melted pumpkin, it is really cute, a green and yellowy squash thing, a tomato and some... yes, Zinnias.
I bought in a bunch of zinnias and several students asked for some. So I have plenty to share. Many people made huge arrangements... but I thought this all out and figured, that would just be overwhelming and ... no, it would not be good to have a zillion things to draw, but wowie, some people cleaned out the produce department at the local grocery.
That class is going to be interesting... simply because we have not started drawing yet and we only have 4 classes left ... here is what we did last week: We brought in our stuff to draw. We "arranged" it the way we wanted and she photographed it with her digital camera... now she is going to print out the three arrangements we selected and bring them to us this Thursday.
Whateverrrrrr. Let me just say, again, this is going to be interesting. I think I am fairly artistic, but drawing... I have my limits. I have very low expectations for myself here. The teacher is pretty crummy. The students... I get the feeling they are like me.... not too sure how this is going to work. My pencils are sharpened and tested, but... just not sure.
The lawn is growning. Hubby is out there twice a day sprinkling the baby grass front and back.
We are getting a fence. It is time to fence in the property.... the guy next door (Mr. Midlife crisis, paid his wife $350,000 for a divorce and her share of the house, driving a convertible, a lot of slumber parties going on over there now) just put in a fence, the Indian family the next house down thought this was a great time to put in a fence too... so our yard is the major thoroughfare for all the kiddies. Not for long. Fence time.
Okay, since the last time I blogged.... no, actually since 19 September, Blizzkin came home, we celebrated Chrystabelle's birthday. I made a real dinner with real food and we used plates and eating tools, then we ate a huge Wegmans cake that I did not photograph, then we took Blizz back to school, then not much else happened. Oh yeah! Hubby and I went to see my parents last Wednesday. Oh sheeeesh, they are getting so old. My dad had his bazillionth hearing test and they finally thought that maybe he could have a hearing aid. You would think that a hearing aid place would want to sell a hearing aid but so far my dad has been to this place countless times over the years and they tell him he does not need one. welll this time they think he could try one. The thing costs like $3500. So, maybe he will be getting a hearing aid. I swear, when I am old, I will be just like him. hehhhhhh?
My mom. Wowie she makes me a bit nutty. I love her but she makes me jittery. Both of my parents are hilarious.
Okay when we eat lunch there... the tradition when I was growing up and it continues... was the toaster. we always had toasted bread "open faced" "sandwiches". So that is what my parents still do. We eat our soup first and dad is in charge of toasting a lot of bread. I think hubby is used to this by now. Well, that is another story all by itself... but the toast. Dad made too much toast this day... so when we were cleaning up lunch, daddy decided to just store the extra toast in the toaster... for "next time"
I just thought that was silly. Well, eventually my mom discovered it in the toaster and put it in a zip bag. Those two eat a lot of cookies.
Okay. I am done for now.
I have more to say but I can't think of it right now.
I have some cool pictures of our lawn, but later maybe. okay not that exciting really.
When I get the photos from the "art teacher" I will scan them and put them here.
Do you get a lot of crazy spammy kind of emails? We do. Some of it is, well, yucky. Pills for all sorts of troubles and ailments. Then today I got a notice that I qualify for an electric wheelchair! hey, that could be fun, huh?
I will go now.
Behappy
yes, that is one word: Behappy.
Next time, I will try to get some pictures up, okay?
<edit> oh yeah, I forgot, Blizzpuff turned 20 yesterday. yep. She is 20 now. Time flies, I was a mere child myself when I birthed her. <end/edit>

my mom better behave in the hospital. She told the docs this was interfering with her fun.

okay well, think about that. It is plausible
