OKAY, ALL READY ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I hate the heat. 

Just letting you know.

It is May 30th, 2011 and it is too early to be dealing with freakin' humidity. I work in a store and its got AC, but its still not cool enough for me. I need to get a job in a beer fridge.

Think of it! They couldn't want anyone better.
I like being cold and I don't drink beer!!

I just came back from taking the dogs for a walk. They're not happy with the heat either. Within five minutes Sid had had it with the temp and shortly after that Emma looked at me like "Fix it!!!!!" They are now both laying stretched out on the cool part of the floor. When they warm it up they move again.

Also today I saw at least eight speeders just on York Blvd. alone, eastbound by the cemetery going well over the posted limit of 60 kph. No police around. Damn it. Then I have several stop signs on the way home, one of which is a four way stop at a pretty busy cross street. This lady just drove right through, without stopping, just to make a left turn !! Barely even slowed down!!! There were three other cars there. She's damn lucky no one jumped the sign.

Besides her, I mean.

And lastly.

I wish I had thought of the cupcake truck idea. How much fun is that, to have people paying a ridiculous amount of money for something you made with your own two hands??!!!

Course I also wish I had thought of:

panty hose (used to wear what we called leotards back in the day and thought if they could make them, why couldn't they make stockings like that as well. There is nothing like the thrill of wearing a garter belt and having one of the snaps let go and hit you in the rear as your walking or even worse, leaning over at your locker.

Freezing warts - had a wart when I was a little kid and the doctor was going to cut it out. (between the big and next toe). Now I am pretty good about needles. I had so many as a kid (asthma all my life) that I went the way of when I see a needle coming I just present an arm.
Well, when I found out he was going to stick a needle between my toes to freeze it for cutting, I F R E A K E D !!!
He even, get ready, sprayed it with a freezing compound so he could insert the needle with out hurting (?) me. Didn't help. He was not getting near me. Anyway, the wart disappeared within a few weeks or however long they take to DIE!!!!!


When I think of more I'll add them but for now I am happy to admit I was born before my time. Just not far enough before.

'cause I KNOW I should be living in a big old house with lots of land, being waited on. Not all the time, though. Just occasionally. I need some one to clean up after I have had my fun cooking in the kitchen. Either that , or I need a really huge kitchen with LOTS of storage space and counters.

The Group

I signed up for a depression group. Its not a 'how to'. Its more of a 'how to handle it'. We meet once a week for 7 weeks. This week is the 4th one. Its interesting. Its amazing when you get to talk to people that have been in the same place as yourself. That understand what that 'place' is like.

GREAT weekend

My Hubby's band played Saturday night and all the people I invited showed up ! ! ! ! ! Everyone enjoyed the show.I actually had reserved a table for 24 and ended up still needing 4 more seats. I only 'knew' about three quarters of the people at our table, but soon found out the others were people my hubby had invited.

And they actually showed up! ! ! ! !

I even had my brother and SIL (sister in law) there. They drove for three hours to come and stay overnight near the venue. We met for supper before the show and then met the next morning for breakfast. That was rough for all of us as, being that it was Mother's Day, the restaurants were going to be packed. We were late going to bed, about 2:30 am and then had to be up at 8 to make a 9 o'clock reservation. That was the latest I could get and be assured that we wouldn't have a long waiting time.

Breakfast was great, and there were a fair number of people there already. By the time we left the crowd was really starting to build.

We then took them to a favourite spot of ours. Its a park, in a valley up Highway 6. It has a beautiful river running through it, which will be filled with fish fairly soon. I think it is trout that run now. I know salmon run in the fall. The water was decently high too, because of the recent rain we had had.

The weather was gorgeous, the dogs ran everywhere; their one, our two. It was a wonderful day. I don't get to see my brothers as often as I'd like to. Three hours is a long drive to just sit and have a few hour visit, and then have to turn around and come home. I usually go up and stay for a couple of days, but that's hard to do with work schedules.

My baby brother retires, after 33 years, on June 9th. That's also when I turn 60. I hope we both get to celebrate the day in a grand way. I think I'm going to buy him a house cleaning apron. I hope I can get one that mentions retirement on it.

I'm very happy for him and proud of him.
