cold and rainy

....almost....was balmy warm today. Rain and cold for tonight. I stayed after school for Drama Club and then some planning work....got stopped by the principal and we chatted. So, it was late getting home. Scott isn't feeling well but we didnt' go to ER - prob. a kidney stone. We had a big fight in Giant because I tried to buy a nutrition book for him. He had Popeye's for lunch......

In other news, I got a small steam cleaner machine to test before I get the big one. I love it. It's especially good for stainless and metal surfaces and tile. If they would attach a vacuum, like a shop vac type, it would be a perfect tool.

Hope the truck gets fixed soon. What will you do for breakfast? Any places close by?

And in unrelated news/commentary: Christmas lights should NOT be up yet. and..... Get the slingshots ready because no blow up lawn ornament is safe this year.

Broke down in FL

We did go right thru Columbus! We would have stopped if we knew.....
The truck broke down last night, it would'nt start...it has weird computer..anyway we were staying at a motel 6 near to where the Walmart was-Alachua FL, the truck was even all the way parked, so Mark had to get permission and everything for where it was..and he was nevous about it. It did start in the morning and we drove to walmart..then it started acting up again, so we spent all day at a volvo truck service...its just about 8pm and we just checked in to a super 8.We are having dominos pizza..yuk- I just had a bite.
Anyway, I really don't enjoy florida..I have only my velour jog suits and its too warm here for that.
I hope the truck is fixed by morning.
If you read this please add a post.

while your'e in Ohio

I know a certain someone who owes me several thousand dollars. Whitehall == outside of Columbus. If you get close, let me know. Last I spoke to him, he didn't have much longer to live-so he should be easy to take.

We're home from our suprise trip to Farmville. It was a nice, peaceful and relaxing trip. I like the quiet, but not the cold. We had delicious ham, scalloped potatoes and broccoli for dinner. I love ham. It is one protein that I can tolerate easily. Scott, aka the pig, wanted more food on the way home. Unbelievable. We didn't stop.

With all the construction, crazy drivers, and various lights, my eyes can't take the road much. Do you and Mark drive much in the dark??

On the way home, I did talk to Kaiti. She said she was dyeing her hair with the help of her friend Gloria ((reddish brown) and then going to a friend Billy's dorm room (with others) for a showing of A Clockwork Orange. She said she won't come home this weekend because Turkey day is just a few days after - she'll just see us in Farmville. She is not aware if she will have a friend come with her or not. I hate to think of any kids left alone up there in Lynchburg.

Mom-- make sure you make her cranberry sauce and pecan pie - those are her faves. I just want turkey skin and stuffing. I've been having a weird craving for White Castle. I think it is because sometimes we went to NJ for turkey day and that always included the WC pig out. I've tried the frozen, but fresh are better.


Oh well, night nigh.

spending the night at fed ex in OH

We cannot get unloaded here early, the guard said the employees don't come in until 4 am, I think we will be asleep.
I fixed spaghetti, salad, and we found some Monterey Sour dough bread, everything was very good. It's very cold here in the 30's - close to 40 and rainy, speaking of rain -have we gotten anymore rain?
Ok - need to see more posts- I told Bobby again- he says they have a stack of paperwork for the health department to get completed before they can open restaurant, he says he and Shannon don't understand most of it, also Jaida is at her choo-choo grandma's ...till tuesday....he says she is not drinking or taking pills anymore and is gonna get married again, I just hope she takes good care of Jaida.
ok that will be all for now.
TRUCKS BRING IT.......GOOD STUFF!!!!

AR TO MS TO AL TO OH

WE have just left Huntsville AL-20th century-fox with some high dollar stuff-promo, taking it to N. Jackson OH.
I love the kitty picture, to bad you could'nt get bathroom kitty in the pic. Mom I think Michael and Zsuizsi are coming too your house next weekend- I told Michael to give you a call.
It sure is hard typing with the truck is rolling down HWY 65, just entered TN.
Well we won't be able to come home for thanksgiving, I made a mistake with the dates, but will try too take off longer for christmas. Speaking of - are we going to do the drawing?
Ok I am going to try and play a game.
Lots of Love
M&J
love the picture of all the kitties plus Max (who is the prettiest one of all!). It's 11:30 Saturday morning and outside of washing dishes, washing my bod, and putting out the garbage nothing has been done! Ellen and Scott are on their way here and then we'll go up to see Katie in Lynchburg and probably go out for dinner (Red Lobster - yum, yum). Dad says he doesn't want to go but Ellen will talk him into it.

Gave up reading my book - well I finished it finally! Plot was preposterous! Have started one now about Australia - 70 pages in and so far, so good.

Dad has finished the dry sink for Shannon and Bobby and I am almost done with their welcome sign. Maybe next week we can take a drive up there to make the delivery. Wondering if the restaurant has reopened yet.

Jane - let us know where you are!

Mom - oh yeah - Jamie left a shirt here!
