All the news that's fit to print

Some random wedding at St. Louis Cathedral, I gotta get out and get some new pictures.

And maybe that will be next week, Phil called and they are only waiting for one more part and are confident I should get my car back early next week. This has taken 2 months. Unbelievable. I hate the loaner car and try to avoid going out. It rides like a dump truck.

Just once I want to hear someone on television say, please use crap vanilla, feel free, no one will know or care. Just once.

The cat has taken to sitting and staring at one spot in the kitchen like she is waiting to trap something. We have taken it apart and no found any evidence of visitors so this now has me worried. She does love to hunt though. When there is nothing to find she just makes up her own jungle games in her mind.

My mom is getting some shit from Mr. RV's son and DIL, he left her some sort of life time right to the house and something else. Well, the inlaws are fussing and so she took the will to a lawyer. Now, Mr. RV died 3 years ago and she has supposed to be getting some sort of accounting and a percentage of something. And she has to pay the taxes and insurance so I am assuming this percentage is to maintain the property. But she has never gotten anything and no one is sure what it is she is supposed to get. I told her to ask the lawyer if she could change the locks and yes indeedy she can, so that is next on the list. I am so glad my brother, Mr. I am in Charge is on top of all this shit. This could get ugly. Glad I am not in charge.

Did I tell you my other brother I have not heard from in 5 or so years has a love child that is 5 years old? Just found out this winter.

And I still have not found a wire cage for that Shitty Dog. Gotta get back on that task.

New Orleans in the past

Yea, well sometimes we all drink too much. That is a former Queen of one of the Carnivals with us.

So now I have a loaner from the dealer, a soft turquoise Escape with unlimited miles until they get my ride fixed. Seems this is a brouhaha with the dealer now. Hmm.

I got my teeth cleaned, there was nitrous and everything is fine.

We had our annual Roto Rooter call today, he fixed the kitchen sink sprayer again and said all the problems were because my water is too hot. My question is why is the water in the kitchen too hot and the water in the bathroom not hot enough. Now we are on a faucet seeking mission. Do not ask.

The best of the week is to come tomorrow, on Sunday when possible Punkin Head Skype's with Curly Girl. And it is such a treat. She loves her grandmama.

Just watching a commercial for Bosch dishwashers about how quiet they are, bullshit, mine was the worst of the worst. And expensive for the often needed repairs. I would rate them a 2. It did run okay for a year or two. 2 for 2. Bosch stands for bullshit.

Just more crap

One of my favorite pics, me and Punkin Head in Philly. That bar behind was taken from the ship associated with Detroit. It was beautiful.

Well, my car is still not finished. When they put it together they found some missing pieces, they called it upgrades. Whatever, they are thinking early next week.

My dentist appointment was cancelled yesterday as they ran out of nitrous and I cannot get my teeth cleaned without it. Yes, I need drugs for teeth cleaning. Never take pain meds but need drugs for cleanings.

So, I am driving my mother home from Florida via Vermont to see the baby. Next Tuesday I have to buy my plane ticket as they say that is the cheapest day and then plan the stops. Mom does not want to drive it in a marathon and she has the dog from hell we are bringing with us. Lily. I have never met her and am not looking forward to it. I am thinking 8 days total for the trip, we will see.

This latest painter I had do some work, at the highest recommendations yet, did shit work. Just like the others. I am now the new painter and Big Daddy is my slave. Because if the paint is gonna suck I am not going to pay thousands of dollars for sucky paint jobs. Saturday after my pedicure we are going to Lowes and Home Depot in the safe part of town and reviewing paint.

Will let you know how the paint works out.

Still sickly

Hilarious Christmas present from Punkin Head. We laughed our heads off. Will let you know if I ever make anything fabulous.

Did I ever tell y'all we are related to the Judd family on Big Daddy's side? They tried to steal Punkin Head with his red hair when he was a young pup.

Two days in a row now I have received calls from my old peeps looking for help. Either they miss me or the replacements are shitty.

I am still so sick. Cannot sleep properly, sweating and chills, glands hurt and just not happy.

My car should be fixed at the end of next week. Maybe. We shall see.

Phineas's Face

Photo of Phineas's face

I have taken a page from another Blogger's Blog and named our cars. It makes it so much more congenial to have a face to put with the name. Big Daddy's car is Phineas Ford and I drive Finola Ford. We like the Fords as they are not pretentious, just plain folks on the Freeway of Love and Eight Mile. Personally I fell out of love with the auto industry after they did me wrong back in the 2008s, and truthfully if I could do without Big Banking I would tell them to take a hike also. So the Fords are the least of the American car company evils, and in Detroit you better be driving a UAW natural born American car. The only foreign car I never got shit for driving was a Jaguar. That was a great car until you needed to fill the gasoline tank in the winter. Or unlock the doors.

Anyway, I was standing at the front window talking on the phone, a bad habit of mine, when I saw this car coming down the street and said to myself, "I wonder who that raggedy piece of shit belongs to." Well, when it pulled into my driveway I had my answer. Big Daddy gave me a funny look when I inquired as to who/whom smashed Phineas in the mouth. It is a mystery that may never be solved.  So into the shop he must go.

We finally found a movie worth finishing last night, Hope Springs with Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones. It was a tad cliched but the acting was good enough I laughed out loud a few times. Magic Mike and Dark Shadows did not make it to their endings.

Busy Saturday as next week is another trip to West BFE for BD.
