Keeping ya posted-that's all

Off today which makes for a happy me. Ran some errands today, and bought groceries to make a nice shrimp and pasta or rice dinner. Sitting here, and Munky and Sugar are both napping right here in front of me,....my husband is outside cleaning the pool, and I'm watching/listening to the NHL GM meetings. Very interesting, soothing, and quiet right now. I wish I could go to Boca to where they are having these big meetings for the NHL, and hangout and meet, listen, and learn about all the things they are trying to do. I just don't want another lockout,.....EVER. Anyways,....mailed some money to the damn P.O., and got some pictures developed from my camera from our Family Reunion last Nov. I'm going to send them to my mom. I miss her so much. And a friend of my parents posted some old pictures on FB of some trips they took with my parents when my dad was alive. So weird seeing pictures of him,-how I miss him. He'd be so enthralled with all the technology going on now-a-days, what with Ipods, Ipads, small laptops, Iphones, he'd be in heaven with it all. He had a computer in the '60's for god's sake!!! Can you believe how ahead of his time he was? He actually helped set up a computer system for Coco Chanel in the late 60's,(my mom just told me that.) Can you imagine? That's like my father and I rolled into one. I love all the new tech stuff, but it all becomes obsolete so fast, I just can't justify spending money on any of it yet. I mean I have two great laptops right now, and a decent Blackberry cellphone, and that's all I need really. I mean I sell stuff on Ebay, and that's the only way I can justify having the internet on my cellphone. Other than that, that's all we have. I actually feel behind the times with just the things we have. Silly isn't it? Anyways, I just know if my father was alive right now, he would be in his glory. Ummm,.....nothing else really planned. We have to go to our condo on the beach to see how the renters left it. We finally got them to leave after not being able to pay us rent for almost three months. So much for trying to give them a chance. We paid their electric bill too. Oh well,....we live and learn. It's spilt milk right? So that's what we have to do tonight,....go there and check out how they left the place. My husband is trying to figure out if we should rent it again, or just try to sell it. If we do sell it, we will probably never have another place directly oceanfront again, it will definitely be out of our reach,....so it's kinda a big decision. We're mulling it over. Keep ya posted.

How boring am I?

Well,well,well,....I'm not going to complain today about anything that I had to do, and anywhere I had to go. I'll just say I had a very full day. Went to Salvation Army and looked at furniture, came home and went out to breakfast. Came home and watched 'Robin and Hood', and then took Munky for an early walk, while my hubby took a much needed nap. (He's been fighting an infection for about a week now.) Came in, and watched some more TV, played with Munky some more, and then we watched 'Crazy Heart' with Jeff Bridges,...OMG,...I loved, loved,loved it. My husband,-not so much. Jeff Bridges is freakin' HOT. Yes, even in that movie. ( I tend to go for that look; Sam Elliot, Kris Kristofferson, etc.) So yeah, that's my kinda look that I like. (Grey hair, blue eyes, and facial hair.) I really loved it. I mean my favorite still is, and always will be Russell Crowe,....because my husband looks just like him only a big muscleman,...but wow, Russell is a hottie. Soooooo,....nothing else new. Somehow this week my husband's insurance policy that we have thru my work was terminated. Yep. Made numerous phone calls to everyone, everywhere, and it all came down to a computer mistake. Jeez! I was almost in tears when I found out. Canada can't come quick enough. Other than that,-nothing else new here. No shopping,...no eBay,....no nothing. I'm so boring. Okay,....I guess I'll be getting ready for bed now. Maybe jump on Facebook and see what my nieces and nephews are doing up in Ga. Half my family are all on there, and that's how we keep in contact,....it's really nice. So I'm off for the long nap of the night. Me and Munky,...my husband, well, he's already sound asleep in the chair next to me,-poor thing, he's so tired. Goodnight from us.

Throw me a line

I had a decent day starting out, until I realized we had to mail out Property tax checks for over $6000 in total. Not happy. I almost had an aneurysm. So what is my answer to everything? GO SHOPPING!!! Yep. Started out just wanting to walk around the mall to calm my nerves and forget about those damn taxes, and 4 hrs. later and $5oo I was walking on air, only to come home to my husband telling me more bad news; the renters we have aren't going to be able to pay us the $3600 they owe us. (Thats what happens when you try to give people a chance and be nice,).....NEVER again. So, now we have to look foward to getting them out of there,....not a fun thought at all. All our beautiful furniture, and framed pictures, and stuff are all there,...while we live in a half-empty house with no furniture, pictures on the walls, or anything,....it gives me an upset stomach just thinking about it. I had a breakdown when he told me,....I crawled into bed crying my eyes out thinking of all the stuff we are going to have to do and go thru now to get these people out. Nightmare. I can't handle one more thing in our lives that goes wrong. I am so on the edge,-that no amount of shopping, blogging, or sleeping,(or whatever, ) will help me feel better. So now what do I do? One day at a time,-I know. It just seems to all gang up on us. When does it get better? I never remember everything being this hard. I love to laugh, believe me,...but its kinda hard when all this happens in one day, and I can't do anything about it. There's no saving us. At least thats how it feels.
