Just a day

Nice enough outside today....we finally got a chance to clean out both vehicles.  They were dusty and dirty, trust me.   Couldn't wash them tho.....the hose had ice frozen in it.  hahahaha

Knees

Today is the two year mark on my knee replacements.  I love them.  Thank you God for letting me have them.  Thank you, God.

V-Day this and that

I dropped the little sizzix sidekick on my foot while packing boxes in the closet. Now, it is not that big....yet I managed to drop it on a pointed side, I guess....got a little cut....and a knot on the top of my foot. Nothing major....it's just, I swear, I am such a klutz at times.
================================================
We went to play bingo tonight. Nope, neither of us won. Nice to go tho.

==================================================
It is 11:00 here at the Capital of the Middle of Nowhere. No snow. No rain. No earth shaking. No gale winds blowing. No ice or freeze going on. I have water. The power is on. No cows anywhere around. It is kind or pretty outside with blue and sunny stuff happening.

There must be something wrong, cause it is actually, apparently, a normal day around here.

What's up with that??? hahahahaha

Nevada Earthquake today.

I wrote these on FB....going to copy and past over here to the blog:

I think we might have just had an earthquake??? My whole house undulated like from an earthquake for several moments......not the little shaking that happens when they blow things at the mine. I wonder......
============================
And yes, for the record....I have been through earthquakes before....that is why I am wondering. hummmmmm no phone service or connection right now.....it has been like that off and on all day, tho.
============================
*******I'M RIGHT I'M RIGHT I'M RIGHT******* I JUST CHECKED THE NET.....WE HAD A 5.3 EARTHQUAKE........SEE I AM A GOOD WEATHER MAN AND EARTHQUAKE SPECIALIST......SKUNK ROCK SAYS SO TOO*********
============================
Daniel Money Dang, Mom! Are you sure you don't want to stay living there? You have gotten some pretty awesome story experiences from the short time you've been there. To make Houston as exciting you'll have to nickname the kids "Blizzard", "Quake" and "Random Cows." I'll let you decide who is who.

M 5.2 Earthquake, Nevada
21 minutes ago Location: Nevada (38.0323, -118.0383). Source: U.S. Geological Survey
============================
This area of the state really doesn't like me being here. Ha. This is maybe 20 miles from us. First we end up in the minus double didget weather for almost two weeks, frozen water pipes for about that long and now the state is trying to shake me out now. Ha.
============================
 The only thing that hasn't happened is a tornado. They swear that they have never ever ever EVER had one here......yet...... bwahahahahaha
============================
Okay.....little tidbit of info to go with my earthquake story. It happened about two minutes before the mine really did set off one of it's blast. When I had sent Mitchell an IM asking if we had an earthquake.....he thought I was joking. I told him I would never joke about an earthquake. :)
============================
I finally got an email to mom.....couldn't get through, ATT has a tower out....been out all day. <sheesh> I tell her about the earthquake.....her response?? "How weird, I was just reading a book about people dealing with an earthquake!" Gotta love my mom. 

Grammie Book Mobile

107 so far. I just boxed up the books I picked up from the library. This is the current count of the books I am taking to the g=kids. I have more in the back of the suv. Remember me posting that I can get four bags of books from the library for a dollar? This some of the books. :) I am basically taking them a small library of their own to have at home. I found all kinds of things.....shhhhhh don't tell them....some are even the educational type about dinosaurs and such. hehehe
================================================
145....NEW count on the g=kids books. I think I might have more around here, not sure tho. I am going to count the ones I got for "me" next. :)
 

Catbath adventure

hahahahahaahahahaha hohohohohohoh OMG OMG It is too funny!

The guys are here fixing the floor in the catbath. They went outside for whatever reason. Came back in to start up.......

HUGE RUCKUS.......sounds like a herd of buffalo comes running from the catbath!!! Wheeler had gone in to see what they were doing. He was down in the hole where the toilet would be.......

They scared him.....he scared them......they are laughing so hard not sure they can go back to work yet! hahahaha

I love my critters. Never, ever boring around here.
 =================================================================
They just left to go somewhere for something, and carefully "closed" the door this time. I started laughing again. I told the head guy that they made my day! He laughed and said it made theirs too.....they have never had anything like this happen before. The helper guy, this is his first day working for this company......bet he never forgets this particular job, huh?
