YEAH!!!

Yeap, I'm cheering, shaking pom poms, and jumping up and down.  Why?  LOL... various reasons :)  I did get up this morning with every intention of getting out and shopping early.  Well, not without checking in on mail first.  So I had a couple of cups of coffee,  exchanged mail with a few, and cleared my box out.  

 

I got up to get in the shower and turned the water on.  A trickle.  I mean not even a trickle.  GRRRR  As I stood there stark naked I could hear dish washers and washing machines going.  I threw my robe back on and waited.  Everything in all parts of the house were filling at the exact same moment.  Not that there was no hot water, but there was no pressure.  I sat in silence as I listened.  As soon as things stopped I waited a minute and ran for the shower.  I jumped in and started washing.  Water was hot and it felt great as I woke up even further.  I am one of those girls who shaves her legs with each shower.  I skimped the last 2 days, who would know besides me?  I wasn't wearing skirts.  But today I could take it no more, I had to shave them.  It had to be easier then braiding!  Believe me when I say it was passed nubs!  So off I go finishing things up and put the conditioner in my hair, and at the precise moment.  OMFG!!!  Can you say cold?  I mean COLD!!  I took just a bit too long and the hot water disappeared.  No getting cool first, it went direct to COLD.   Ever try to rinse conditioner out of your hair with cold water?  It's bad enough that it doesn't want to remove it, but to stand under the shower head as the ice cold water runs over your skin that was only just moments before getting massaged with hot.  Let me just say, I WAS AWAKE!   One of the downfalls of living in a flat.  We don't share the hot water tanks, but 2 dishwashers and 2 washing machines will take it's toll on pressure no matter what.  Apparently it took it's toll on the available hot water too.   Now I know why I am so lazy on a Sunday morning!

 

I did get out shopping and was very successful.  When I walked out the door it felt more like spring then just before Christmas.  It was raining and about 55 degrees.  Unheard of here at this time!  Ok, not unheard of, but very odd.  I had several stops to make to get the finishing touches for stocking stuffers.  Gas cards, coffee coupons, my $5 dollar gift for our family's silly gift exchange.  We all bring a $5 gift and we read a story about the 'Right' family.  Each time the word right is said, yeap you guessed it we pass right, when left is said, we pass left.  When the story is done you get what you're holding.  It's silly but we have lots of laughs.  Then it was off to find something for my sister.  Hey... Martha Karen.. if you are reading click that red x NOW!!!   LMAO  actually no worries she doesn't read as she sees all the graphics before hand and generally hears me mumbling.  I wasn't sure what to get her but I did find a few nice things.  I got her a new purse, new heavy gloves that she can wear while driving, a fleece zip up that has snowflakes on it (so her!), and a couple turtle necks.  I think I did rather well.   I did find something for me as well.  A new red sweater and shirt for Christmas Eve at my sisters and another sweater.  Had to buy two, buy one get one for $10.  Bargoon!  I showed them to my son and he asked who they were for.  When I said me his eyebrow went up, his eyes wide open, and a smile ear to ear.  'Oh, I like Mom!'  Nothing like pleasing your 20 year old son.  All in all a good day!  Two more things and I'm done.  YEAH!!!  I didn't grab them today as I would have had to pass the football stadium and since we played at home today I was going no where near the place!

 

My son called me from the picket line (yes they are still on strike) to see what I was doing for dinner.  I hadn't even thought about it, and he told me not to worry.  He was going to bring me something.  Oh goodie!  He walked in a bit later with two steak hoagies.  He knew I was dying for steak and thought I'd be able to eat that.  Tell me he isn't just the best!? Hmmm  the smell was to die for and the place he picked them up at uses the best steak ever.  Not that steak 'um shit.  I unwrapped mine and put it on the plate.  Feared biting into it, so I grabbed a fork and knife and cut pieces off.  Not baby size pieces but my bite size pieces.  OMG!!  I savored every last minute.  It was out of this world!  Steak, onions, mushrooms, and cheese.   I chewed it fine.  I don't think I could have bitten through the roll, but once it was already in pieces I had no issues at all. YEAH!!!  I'm healing!!

 

I have read about J-Land that folks are all bogged down with Christmas graphics.  I won't promise I won't do any more, and I do still have some that I haven't shared yet, but I will do more and more 'winter' ones.  I hope you like them.  Penguins and snowmen will most likely be the majority.  I love both and collect snowmen.  I got a cute little snowman clock graphic today and couldn't help myself.  I had to do something and add it to my sidebar.. hey it isn't Christmasy just wintery.  I also did a couple PSP addict graphics.  It's true, so I might as well advertise.  LOL  They are snaggable, and since they fit in my sidebar they should fit in yours as well :) 

 

I can't believe it is after 11 on Sunday.  Where did all the time go?  Geeeze....  it's time for me to get in bed.  Hope everyone had a great weekend and wish you all a great Monday!

 

Hugs
