  • Some people......

     ....will do just about anything to make me blog. 

    So I went out & got the mail today and found this:

     

    scan0001

    Threw it in the trash, and then thought, hmmm, I should probably see what that is.  Removed from the trash, opened and here's what it says:

    scan0003

    So, now I'm standing in the kitchen, in disbelief.  A monkey? What the hell would possess Nate to get me a monkey?  He's gotta be kiddin me, what is he thinking!!  Now I'm laughing as I make my way downstairs.  "NATE! you got me a monkey??"  He's looking at me like I'm the one that has lost my mind as I hand him the letter. 

    So guess what??  It's not from Nate.  I googled Saboto-Gunea Wildlife Exports and find it's a hoax.  Cleveland Ohio postmark... hmmmm....wonder who that could possibly be....

    All I gotta say is if YOU are reading this - expect it when you least expect it.  

    What a great joke!

    Well, I'm still not working.  Have submitted a few applications but so far no bites besides from staffing agencies, which I'm trying to avoid.  Been working around the house though.  Got Nate's bedroom done:

    Room1

    room2

    Tore up the floor in the bathroom & laid new vinyl:

    If anyone has wall paint color suggestions to go with that avocado green tub, let me know.  By the way, although avocado green was very popular in the 70's it is no longer.  However, now they're calling it wasabi green and it's all the rage.  So I'm fashionable without even trying *L*

    Cleaned up the spare room since Nate moved all the furniture into his room downstairs...It's now my office/spare room:

    Sadie loves the new bed:

    As does my great-niece, Ava, who spent the day with me Tuesday:

    Poor baby was sick with an ear infection.....

    Nate got his Mustang from the body shop.  I'm hoping he allows me to drive it for a while since I'm turning in my lease in June and don't really want to buy anything until I see what kind of money I'll be making.  When I mention it to him he just laughs and tells me I'd get into trouble driving it.  I do see his point, its a pretty fast car *g*

    Stang


    I am still doing troop support work, although much, much more under cover and behind the scenes.  I've stepped down from the VP position in the one group, after a mere 4 months.  All I can say is don't demand me to follow if you don't know how to lead.  I'm still in the group, just very quietly and very local only.  I do still maintain their myspace and I'm still state coordinator.  I'm back working with Soldiers' Angels Living Legends Team...which I had given up to be VP of the other.  Live and learn.

    Otherwise, everything is pretty much as it always is.  Got the house almost totally spring cleaned and have been lecturing myself on getting outside & starting on the gardens, but so far I haven't made it out there *L*  Soon.

    Alrighty, I reckon that's all I got.  Happy Mothers Day to you all.  Until next time....

  • Betcha I know who sent that to you!!!! She "drops" lots of things. lol

    I about fainted when I saw a post from you and with pictures!!! Terri I didn't know you were without a job. When did you tell us that? I must have been out of it if you told. I sure do hope that you find something soon. That would be scary!

    Like what you are doing with the house.

    Keep me up to date on the job issue. I care!

  • Whoever would do such an awful derranged thing such as sending you another mouth to feed and blaming it on your son probably was thinking 'Terri should really blog with us more often.'  But what do I know?   Either that I they thought of themselves as such a good shopper with great ideas for everyone.  Anyways, I bet Nate is relieved that Mothers Day is now covered.    But what do I know?   

    Not quite sure what color would look good on the walls but I bet a nice white duck would look great floating in a Wasabi Green tub.  (insert mischievious laughter here.)

    Great niece is such a cutie.  I hope her ear is better soon. 

    Can you fit a baby seat in that Mustang?  I think it's against the law to drive with a loose monkey, unless it weighs over 45 pounds. 

    Just kidding about the duck.

  • Even though I'm not talking to him, I feel like giving that gift to T! Would serve him right!

  • happy mother's day terri.  drops is always thinking of others.  hope you find a job soon that you love.  update often.  take care.
