Tuesday
house full
of people, music coming from the barn - some bluesy xmasy thing - but than dallas is out there playing with them.
i'm sure the heavy metal xmas song will start in a sec.
turkey and makings for a dinner cooking in the kitchen. presents and food piling up on the coffee table as they make their way back to the barn.
i'm heading up to alexandria.
ya, this is going to be a good xmas.

xmas wish
merry christmas to everyone out there and do try to remember what christmas is about. it's not about who gets what or how many are under the tree. it's not about how much money you spent on so and so or how high your credit card bills are after this spending round.
it is about the celebration of a birth. the birth of a man that came onto our planet and attempted to teach one love.
love and peace to all this season of celebration. may your love grow.
yup - you guessed right - we aren't doing up any christmas again this year.

allergy season
it's struck. i'm out of commission. thought the shots i endured for two years were supposed to lessen the over all yucky symptoms.
this attack i'm in the middle of is not a lesser version of my old attacks. it's a duezzzy.
recycling
making candles to use up wax i've collected.
those animals
mama cat is in heat. god help us
she was pregnant when my big hearted number one son found her abandoned in the woods. she had 4 kittens way back deep in my closet, two siamese like herself and two almost pure black. we lost one of the siamese kittens when mamacat jumped down from the bed with the kitten in her mouth, breaking it's neck. already gave away two kittens keeping one of the black ones. our cat populace is now two. we are doing everything we can to keep her in the house while this caterwauling goes on realizing we didn't think about keeping anything out until a neighbor tom jumped in through one of the kids bedroom window. time to make an appointment with the vet.

computer woes
gateway hard drive started talking to me when i fired it up tonite. ok - it was more like a chatter / clattering noise. [i love my gateway even though technically it's not a gateway anymore and it talks to me.] i opened it up and had to step back from all the dust that came flying out at me. sigh. i don't want to do this .. maybe if i throw a temper tantrum some computer cowboy will magically appear and take it apart with me. no such luck. dab - nab - it. i can see this is going to be serious as the dust has gotten rather sticky from being in there for so long. going to have to pretend i know what i'm doing and just dive in.
first thing i have to attack is the fan cause if i don't figure out how to clean it better than i usually do, it means a new one. i take a closer look at the box and finally see a way to take the grid off so i can get in and clean the blades and housing better.
now off to hunt down all my stuff the kids borrowed. i look around the entire house and not one bottle of alcohol left. i see my trusty bottle of 'sea breeze' on the dresser. hmm i wonder. well heck ya it's great. cuts right through this mess.
heck ya, between the 'sea breeze', my best q-tips and only one can of air this time, it looks damn clean to me. had to go shake the towel i had the tower laying on out twice there was so much dust and black gunk. /shutter. two hours later and i get it all put back together, (no extra parts) fire it up and get the message .. video cable connected? .. after jiggling the cord and not getting a response from that - i take it apart again. sidenote* oh - so it was this machine i stuck the 'pny' vid card into and well lookie there - it has a fan on it that i didn't notice before when i installed it .. jeez .. that sure could use a good air blast. no wonder i get some lock up - lord!! * reseated the 'pny' and sure enough that took care of it.
put the machine back together again, hit the on button and shoot - a:/ drive won't stop trying to access something. [i dreaded this. i knew it just couldn't be a swift in and out.] back apart it comes and i take out the drive and reconnect it all up again and lo and behold !!! still chattering. /blink i got an idea. insert a diskette and yup that does it. it stops talking to me. i'm so smart /grin how'd i get so smart :) so not to bad .. doesn't run any faster like i did as a kid when i got new sneakers but at least it sounds better.
strange kids
there is a breed of kid out there that i wasn't aware of.
i ran across it at mtsu in the dining hall where i work.
every student that comes into our eatery has an id card that along with other functions, tracks pre-paid meals allowing them to eat three squares a day on campus. [either mom and dad paid for this or it's awarded through scholarship funds]
out of the 1k students we feed every day of the week around 4% try to get in without having their card scanned.
one of these guys is a 7ft tall basketball player and apparently his entourage has led him to believe he's 'god's gift to the world' thus he has a huge 'i'm the man' type chip on his shoulder sitting next to his 'does as he pleases' chip.
my first day on the scanner and i look up to see this 7 ft tall basketball player with two puffballs on either side of his head that i'm sure is his hair but - they are so big and fluffy
well - whatever.
he glides on by me with nary a twitch in my direction like he owns the place. i back up and glide on over in front of him and stand looking at what appears to be a silver medallion of epic proportions on his chest. i lean back, look way up there past the glare off the medallion and ask him. "so - where ya going there - bucko?" "to eat" he replies "well, not without having your card scanned first your not." "huh? waddya mean. i never pay." something tells me he hasn't had his card scanned in a good while.
but than usually young college girls are manning the scanner. "i'm just going to eat" he informs me. "ya i heard that - let me see your student id first" his speech quickly degraded into this slurred mumbo jumbo that - to me - sounded like a new language that i'd not heard before. he kept on walking into the hall all the while telling me he was
going to see his boys and that i should go back to what i was doing and stop bugging him. "over here - my boys are over here, you got people waiting on you woman, you got customers, i just need to see my boys over here." i took his hand and gently tugged him over - back towards the door out of earshot of his 'boys' and told him "thanks for coming, come back with your student id."
within 10 minutes one of his 'girls' [i guess] and he are out in the hallway entrance singing one verse of a rap song over and over and o v e r again. it careened around the hall walls - burst through the doors, spreading out as it flowed into the dining hall and amplified as it bounced off the walls inside and gave all in attendance a good listen up - of this lousy, off key baritone and this tweety bird squeaking this .. well, like fingernails on a chalkboard - you get the drift. sure enough the student assistant manager [if this girl is any older than the puffball rapper outside i'll bite this card - i swear] comes up and asks me what's going on. i tell her "i think he's upset because i wouldn't let him in." she looks everywhere but at me and says "tell them to take it outside." i reply right away with "oh no, your paid to be a manager. so - go manage." oops. she huffed off saying she was calling security. i just went back to scanning cards ... grinning. not to long after a girl just bounces right on by me so i give her a heads up asking her "what's shaking." "i work here." she says to me. "are you working tonight.?" i query. "ya, sure." she replies. "ok, see ya later." and wave her in. the student assistant manager soon walks around my area, checking on things like she does, and i ask her .. "see that girl over there? she working tonight?" "no, she hasn't worked here in over a month." she says. sigh.
but i'm having a total blast. jord walked in to see me one night, he works in the dining hall in the next building over, and one of the college students i work with says to him "that's your mom? dude, your mom is cool." jord laughs as he tells me this. ya /grin i'm having fun. p.s. did i mention all the eye candy?? jeez luweez

found stuff
ya ya i know -- dorky stuff -- but fun the spark - cute. yup - i took this one and scored 36%. Is it a bird? A plane? Is it a boy? A girl? Is it love, or is it lust? Ah, you. You are that rare mix of sensitive and sensual, romantic and randy, pride and prejudice, etc. When you see your crush, you waffle like a Belgian, unsure of whether you'd rather paint their toes or suck on their toes. Poets have long been puzzled by your kind. You'll never fall for robots or nymphos, but you will suffer longs bouts of marriage.
FUN FACT...
people more loveable than you (96%)
people just as loveable as you (0%)
(no wonder i don't have a man friend. there's none just as lovable as me.)
people less loveable than you (3%)
dumb waste of time.

owwies
jord has a 10 stitcher on his left shin. tetanus shot for dessert. laceration was so deep we could see muscle slide when he flexed his foot. two nurses popped into our cubby to see his injury before the doctor started stitching. it was that awesome. he considers himself lucky in that all he will have is a v shaped scar. i'd imagine he will avoid engine blocks for a good while.
update: his 10 stitcher running 100 bucks a stitch so far. still waiting on the other bill that usually follows.
