Ramblin'

I'm a ramblin' gal....I'm ramblin', ramblin', ramblin', ram......blinnnnnnnnnnnn'".

More with my thoughts than with actually ramblin' around.

I am in sort of another transition phase.

It happens quite a bit with me. I get comfortable with a situation, job, mental phase and then "snap" everything changes.

At first it throws me for a loop. The direction my life was going takes a sudden turn so I need to slow it down, re-group and get my feel for the way this new direction is taking me.

In one sense things never get really boring, but on the other hand it gets a bit hard to settle into a routine.

Sometimes I think that perhaps I don't think I like routine and maybe I cause the disruption myself in some way.

It's a possibility.

Change is fun. It mixes things up. I like the unpredictibility of it. What is going to happen next? Ohhhh, there is something new to learn/experience.

Maybe there is a bit of ADD in this. Hey - I've already been diagnosed as bi-polar...why not throw in a little ADD in there too.

Mental condition of the week.

Can a pill help it?

Sure!

OK...sign me up.

As long as I can go to sleep at night - no worries for me.

(are you all still with me so far or have I scared you all off at this point?)

You have to admit, this is not my usual kind of post.

Sure - I can be random, but not usually this scattered.

I put the extra spaces in the way I write this to illustrate how my brain actually works.

Scattered at times.

SometimessoorganizedthatIdon'tknowwhereonethoughtstopsandthenextbegins.

Please tell me that I'm not the only one that this happens to?

Nah...I know I'm not.

Perhaps it's just the wine?

Yeah - that could be it. I don't usually blog if I have been drinking. My thoughts are too scattered to put into any kind of coherent form.

(heh, heh, heh)

So - it's about 11:00 on a Friday night. Margie and I are sitting on the same sofa with our laptops and headphones. (Margie - Shinedown, Nickleback, Seether and me - Lady Gaga, Leona Lewis, Herman and the Hermits and Freda Payne) The doggies are passed out because the new puppy has run them ragged. The puppy is wrapped up in a blanket and sleeping next to me.

Sipping wine.

Singing along.

Extremely random.

Reading random blogs - new blogs. Old blogs. Really weird blogs!

It's OK.

(Mrs. Brown you have a lovely daughter)

Did you know that I make a pretty good scone? I do! I found a fabulous recipe on-line and it's become quite a hit at the cookie place I work at. I need to add some additional ingredients.

(I don't tell you what to say
Oh-h-h-h don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you)

Well - now that I've scared the heck out of you, but I hope not to the point that you won't come back I just want to leave you with this song that has been "ramblin" through my head for a week or so now and I've learned that the best way to get rid of it is to put it on to someone else!

That is YOU!

Heh, heh, heh!



Have a great weekend all. I'm really not as crazy as I seem to be with this post. I just need to let it out once in a while.

Rain, rain go away

And don't come back until I get my rain barrels in place please!

Thinking about all that water I could have saved - darn.

I've had a couple of very productive days this week which has been very rewarding! I got all the extra wood from the ol' maple tree that was cut down in my backyard stacked and out of the way. The big chunks of wood I saved for my pal Kari over at Village Carpenter. Trying to get it to her may pose a problem, but I'll work it out some how! I also have some leftover pieces for firewood for my sister and bro in-law. I'll work out how to get that to them as well. Maybe I'll rent a truck and just dump it all in there.

Monday started off kind of lazy - but ended with me staying up until 2:00 AM on a mission to find a missing pool table that is down in my basement.

One would think it would be a bit difficult to lose an 8 Ft pool table, but I did! It became a repository for everything I didn't feel like putting away! The junk table! It was that one task I have had up on my white board that I've been putting off and putting off because it was just one of those things that seemed impossible to tackle. But it was there all along and now that it's cleared off I can finally post an ad and sell it. If anyone is interested in an 8 ft drop pocket pool table just send me an e-mail! I'll give you a good price but you have to figure out how to get it out of here!

This is what it looks like:

It looks a lot like a pool table doesn't it?

My next project was to clean off my desk here in my basement office. It's better, but I have a lot of shredding to do yet.

Yesterday I was on standby to help my daughter cook for her boyfriend! You know it's serious when they start offering to cook! She made some wonderful broccoli canneloni's, had a nice tossed salad and some home made garlic bread. All in all a wonderful meal. M and I both love the boyfriend - he's cute, he's sweet, he's talented and has a nice job as a carpenter working with his Dad.

Today was a little slow to start. For some reason my one dog Corky wanted to snuggle with me this morning. He crawled under the covers, snuggled in and we both fell asleep for another hour! Happiness is a warm puppy cuddled into you!

I had a few errands to run. There was a blog I found while roaming around the blogosphere called: i think i love you michigan who is looking for red yard so I sent her an ol' red sweater than I never wear anymore.

Stopped into the bank because I locked myself out of my ATM card yet again!

I FINALLY got to a framing store to get my giclee of my sisters painting "Chimbley's" done.

The nice guy behind the counter and I chatted for nearly an hour playing with different matting and frames with this very cool program that lets you see what the final product would look like. He was talking about his partner, I was talking about my partner and we just had a gay ol' time! Plus this framing store was offering 60% all custom framing!

It's going to be gorgeous!!!

On the way home from the framing place I got a call from one of the jobs that I applied to. Unfortunately I didn't get the job, but they think I'm a good fit for the company and the company is growing so they will keep me in mind if other positions open up that they feel I would be good for.

:::sigh:::

I really wanted that job too. Darn.

Oh well, I do have another interview today - we'll see how that goes. Time to dust of the suit and heels.

Wish me luck!

Oh and I'm waiting for my worms to arrive! I am going to start a worm composting bin! How cool is that? I'll take pictures when they arrive! M thinks I'm a little crazy - but that is what she loves about me! ;)

Off I go to get ready for the interview!

Ta ta!
