It's been a chilly, windy and very gray day here. I took care of putting the patio furniture together and setting it up anyway. Gretchyn was busy wrapping herself and her lead around the bannister on the ramp. She is such a dingy dog. lol But she's my girl.<br />

<br />
That's her with my little Oreo whom I've nicked "Squish" because he's so smooshy and loving. lol I have the best little phurbabes...<br />
<br />
I haven't done much today except for the patio furniture. My stomache's acting up a little and I'm not going to push it. It's crazy if I get too active, like longer walks with Gretchyn, it activates the pain caused by my chronic pancreatitus so I simply take it easy until it calms down. <br />
<br />
Okies, I'm headed back over to <a href="http://z10.invisionfree.com/CreativeAddictions/index.php?act=idx" target="_blank">Creative Addictions</a> to find another challenge to play with...<br />

Well yes, last Sunday was wonderful getting to see my grandchildren, son & dil again. And even though I was elated in the day, I fell asleep on the couch after dinner. rofl I'm such a wimp! lol It gave my son some time with Anna and they worked on her car a little bit. I think that was great that they had time together!<br />
<br />
Well today's weather was outstanding! A warm 72 degrees with lots of sun! Unfortunately, my chronic pancreatitus kept me from enjoying a nice long walk with Gretchyn. It was more of a ten minutes headed back home so I could sit down again. I thank God though that I got a precious 10 minutes out in the glorious Spring weather! 'Course Gretchyn kind of pouted for a while when we got back.<br />
<br />
I'd of put her out on her lead, but she's still psycho puppy and would eat her halter again. Third one! So I know for a fact that the Thunder Shirt wouldn't work for her, it'd be like giving her a mega buffet! A $40 buffet. Not gonna happen....<br />
<br />
Well I hope you all have a wonderful evening! Pretty soon as it gets a little bit warmer, I'll be adding some new photos for you...<br />
<br />
Huge Hugs from Bowling Greens Crazy Cat Granny,<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
My son Ron has invited me to their home for Easter Dinner! I am so excited!!! It's been over 5 years since I've seen any of them so I am truly in Seventh Heaven!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Maybe now, we can get our lives back on track and start communicating with each other like it was before.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm so excited! Did I say that yet? lol A Huge WooHoo!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We're also going to Church for the Easter Service first, then on to their house for dinner so Anna and I were busy last night trying to figure out what I was going to wear, then what she was going to wear. I'm still not for sure on what I'm going to wear because I've lost so much weight, not much fits anymore. So I'll probably wing it...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you all have a beautiful, blessed, loving Easter Weekend</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
hugs for all,</div>

We got snow to begin with. Thank God whoever shoveled our sidewalks was kind enough to shovel off my ramp! How awesome of them!!!<br />
<br />
Then Anna's phone went nutz on her and I couldn't get a hold of her for bean soup! Her boss was trying to get hold of her. She finally got home, tired and angry but got back in touch with her employer to verify her new hours for the next couple of days. Whew!!! <br />
<br />
All day it was phone and message tag between her boss and her cell phone which had gone wonky. <br />
<br />
So everything with Anna worked out finally.<br />
<br />
I was fit to be tied last night after I'd posted all my tuts and the Mystery tut. OMG I had no idea that all we could use were FTU scrap kits in the tuts! And, I had mistaken the order in which we post the Mystery tut. So mine was deleted and the person who was supposed to post got hers posted. So I spent a couple more hours re-posting tuts and animated tuts plus the Mod's tuts so they all had FTU kits to use. My problem is that forever, since everyone is using PTU tubes in their tuts, to me it was "what's the diff" so wasn't worrying about FTU scrap kits. ugh and ugh! Phooey, they're done now and now I know. PTU tube or not, the scrapkit has to be FTU. sheesh! Who knew??? I didn't! Thank goodness another Mod pm'd me and let me know about it. <br />
<br />
I made cheeseburgers for supper yesterday. Dumb move on my part. I don't get any more pain patches until Wednesday so all night and today my stomache's been killing me. It's better now after nothing but liquids. So for supper today I made egg drop soup and had some buttery crackers with it. Oh yeah, I finally figured out how to make perfect egg drop soup!!!<br />
<br />
2 cups of water and 5 chicken boullion cubes to boil.<br />
1 cup of water in a cup with 3 tablespoons of corn starch, mix well.<br />
<br />
Pour into pan of boiling water/boullion cubes, lower to medium heat and stir until thickened.<br />
<br />
Take 3 eggs, seperate the whites from the yolks.<br />
<br />
Slowly pour in the whites to the medium heat soup. They cook perfect in a minute and it tastes so good. I had some buttery crackers with it and it made a great supper!<br />
<br />
Well, that's it for me...<br />
<br />
Ciao!<br />

It's a quiet Sunday. Anna's still MIA at her BF's and not sure when she's getting back. Soon I hope as she's got the kitty food that I requested. lol I'm sure she'll show up this afternoon sometime. BF has to go to work...ha<br />
<br />
I woke up feeling good, in no pain, "Thank you Jesus", and at 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon. ROFL I haven't slept that late in a long time. I must have needed it or I'd of been up at my usual 10:30 in the a.m.... I was up late last night though, and decided that midnight was a good time to eat dinner so I made eggs and butterbread. I didn't eat it all, I shared with my adoring little pup Gretchyn and she was so happy to get some of the yummies that I fixed. Yep, midnight. lol It's probably why I slept so late, and had a wierd dream about my screen door being ripped away from the frame and blew all over the neighborhood bouncing off other buildings and cars and such. <br />
<br />
I've got work to take care of later on in the group I'm in, <a href="http://z10.invisionfree.com/CreativeAddictions/index.php?act=idx" target="_blank">Creative Addictions</a>. Tuts, Animated Tuts, the Mod's chally. I found all the links I needed yesterday, all I have to do now is get them copy/pasted into the right spot on line. <br />
<br />
Okies, nothing much else to say except I hope ya'll have a beautiful Sunday...<br />
<br />
Later taters...Warm Hugs<br />

A huge difference since Tuesday! I saw the doctor at the Pain Clinic here and I'm now being treated for my Chronic Pancratitus and my Fibromyalgia! WooHoo, God answers prayer in the most mysterious ways!!! I'm a happy camper walking on cloud 9 now!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I get a pain patch to wear on my belly, and the doctor is going to start injection therapy after he gets the results back from my MRI. Also, he upped the doses for my Neurontin and Flexeril which will help tremendously! Something about a tens unit also.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He, the doctor is also hooking me up with the hospital dietition to get me situated in what's safe to eat and shouldn't eat between my diabetes and pancreatitus. I've been waiting on this one for a long time!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So life doesn't seem so down anymore! And with this, and soon to be warmer weather, I'm going to start back to Church well, just as soon as I get some clothes that fit. Yeah, Since this all started, I've gone from 275 down to 149 pounds and absolutely nothing I have fits anymore! I need to tie knots in some things, and wear suspenders for other things, so on, yada, yada. rofl</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Check the critter page, I'm adding some new piccies of the phurbabes. Love my boys and my girl, they are my Special Babes!<br />
<br />
Ewww what's happened to Spring???? Here ya go...<br />

I woke up in loads of pain today. Thank God I still have a few vicodin from my latest trip to the ER last week. I'm trying to make them stretch as best I can so I don't have to end up in the ER again to soon. At least they didn't make me go through the CT scan or drink the nasty ass contrast water this time. UGH! So 12:30pm roles around and I gave in and took a vicodin. I couldn't go any longer. And now, at 3pm, I'm finally feeling a little better. Whew! I really hate this and I know I'm going to have to get used to being in pain all the time. I'm so "NOT" looking forward to this!!!<br />
<br />
We're having a fish fry tonight. Well, I'm cooking and Anna's getting the fried, I'm going to bake mine to stay away from the oil in the deep fryer. I finally figured out the perfect breading to use when I fry chicken or fish. It's a half flour, half cracker mix with some spices in it. You dip the chicken or fish in a egg/milk mixture sort of like scrambled egg, then dip it in the flour/cracker mix. omg It makes such a yummy crispy, crunchy crust and works great on both! I might even try it on my pork chops and salmon patties! Just won't be able to eat any of it. *waaaah, waaaah....Oh, with the crackers, I put a pack of them in a gallon zip lock bag and crush them with my rolling pin. Then mix it in with the flour. I usually put garlic powder, lemon pepper, Italian seasonings and cajun spice in with the mix.<br />
<br />
I've even come up with my own version of V8 Juice. One can of green beans drained, a can of mixed veggies, minus the potato squares, and a large can of tomato juice. I added in some No-Salt, a wee bit of garlic powder, and celery salt. I blended it thoroughly and it really tastes good! This is an easy way for me to get my veggies without upsetting my tummy and it has also worked on cleaning out my system! WooHoo!<br />
<br />
Dairy products are ok in my new diet too but cheese always constipates me. So when I do eat something cheesy, I'll just make sure to keep a bottle of my new V-8 on hand. <br />
<br />
And with that note to close on, lol, I'm going to heat up some boullion for lunch and close here.<br />
<br />
Have a great day everyone~<br />

It's a cold, gray, dismal kind of day so I decided to stay indoors and have myself an X-Files marathon! I'm watching the one about "Modell, the Pusher" at the moment and his sister is trying to kill him. Love it. It's in Season five.<br />
<br />
I splurged a bit too and got Season's 9 and 10 of StarGate SG-1. Now it's a complete set. Then got a few movies that have been wanted for quite some time. <br />
<br />
Volcano, District 9, Independance Day, Cloverfield, Skyline, The Day After Tomorrow, and the Jeepers Creepers set.<br />
<br />
I finally got the MacGyver #7 Season and both of the movies. WooHoo for Amazon! Love that place! I found they have a wish list so added a bzillion movies, tv series to it.<br />
<br />
I figured out what I'm getting Anna for her Birthday. First off she's getting a laptop. Then there's some leggings I want to get her. 2 crochet books. Ones for beginners the other has 40 different granny square designs. She loves granny squares. Also, getting her a couple of awesome cook books that I know she will love! So I think we're covered.<br />
<br />
So far I'm having a blast working as a Moderator at <a href="http://z10.invisionfree.com/CreativeAddictions/index.php?act=idx" target="_blank">Creative Addictions</a>! Right now I'm in the middle of 2 weeks off and then I'm going to get blasted with 1-Tutorials, then 2- Animated Tutorials, plus, I have to come up with a tutorial of my own for the Mystery Tutorial. Every time I think about it, I go into instant brain freeze. lol I hope I can pull it off!<br />
<br />
Oh, I'm also running my own <a href="http://z10.invisionfree.com/CreativeAddictions/index.php?showtopic=20090" target="_blank">Always List</a>! The link is for my April Sign Ups if you'd like to join the group and get some snazzy tags. Every time I make a tag or forum set, my ladies also get one of same...I love this because it keeps me busy. I'm flipping happy that they like my tags!<br />
<br />
Also, Creative Addictions now has their own <a href="http://creativeaddictionsattitude.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">BLOGGER</a>! How cool! You can download all sorts of stuff like Masks, Templates, Scrap Kits and more! Right now it's the Easter Theme so if your looking for some fantastic Easter items, get there soon!<br />
<br />
I've also gotten back into reading. I'm reading Dean Koontz' "Velocity" right now. I know it's a '95 book, and yeah, I've had it that long. lol I have a few more of his books I bought a long time ago too that I'm going to be getting into. Seems my meds are working ok right now and I can concentrate a bit better so I'm taking advantage of it while I can. On the inside cover of "Velocity", is a list of his books too so I might just start collecting them all. lol He's a great writer!<br />
<br />
This month is the last payment to the credit bureau so next month will be a lot easier on us. Tobey's the first thing to be taken care of. He has a minor surgery we are taking care of. Then, it's Oreo's turn the following month. Then my little Gretchyn is getting spayed. No puppies for her. Not much call for Jack Russel/Rat Terrier mix puppies so it'd be impossible for me to find homes for them.<br />
<br />
Okies, I wrote a novella here and nothing about pancreatitus! YaY! I'm ok today, not in much pain at all. Happy happy!!!<br />
<br />
Ciao Baby, adios, see's ya'll later....Have a wonderful evening!<br />

The link is to their Blog. It's a daily devotion that will be sending me uplifting emails on a daily basis. I'm also told that I may be able to join in and write devotions of my own. Since my Pancreatitus has progressed into "Chronic" mode, I have abdomen pain now on a daily basis and am finding myself in need of some rays of sunshine to brighten my days.<br />
<br />
I don't know all that much about the pancreas. Or if now being in a chronic state of pain means that I won't be around much longer, or who knows, for years as it continues to bring me pain and sadness. Will I even want to live for years with this constant agony? I don't know. <br />
<br />
At this point, I must get to a Gastroenterologist to get a game plan going so that I can come back to my family doctor, get a referral and start going to our hospitals pain clinic for treatment.<br />
<br />
I can't go this month as I don't have the co-pay for the Gastro. But plan on it next month as I won't be choked financially with the CCB. So beginning in May, my trek will begin into Toledo, then back here to Bowling Green, then the hospital. This is my game plan. And that is if the Good Lord doesn't decide to take me early. Then I won't need to worry about it. lol<br />
<br />
I also found a diet to try and follow for "Chronic Pancreatitus". Chicken, eggs, turkey, fish, lean pork, all boiled, poached or baked. Nothing fried or grilled. Well there goes my 4th of July grilling out of the Rib eye steaks I was going to get for Anna and I. This diet does not mention red meat at all so I'm assuming it's also off the list. So Rib eye is twice removed now. lol Oh I don't know, I think maybe just this once and in small portions I may survive....I'll be crossing my fingers on the 4th.<br />
<br />
Anna and I are doing great! It's been awesome having her here! She's been helpful getting me around to the stores and bank and such! <br />
<br />
She's also now got a good job working as a home health care aide which she really loves too! <br />
<br />
Anyway, Happy St. Patrick's Day today. Not much else going on to note so closing.<br />
<br />
See's ya round...<br />

I got to see my eldest Granddaughter today! She brought her boyfriend and they stayed and visited for hours which was so awesome! I'd missed her so much and was in seventh heaven! Her boyfriend is super. She chose well.<br />
<br />
She's going to be moving in around mid February too. She and I are both now the exiled ones. lol *Snicker...<br />

I can't think of anything else so ending here. <br />

Are they down again? Is there a limit to how many pics you can use in one set? I added a few more to my 71 and now nothing's coming up. grrr<br />
<br />
It's 30f degrees here today. It's windy so feels like 20. brrr. Next week is "really" going to freeze my taters, nothing over 20f degrees! Here comes the dead of Winter...omg Get me outa here fast! I hate our freezing cold weather! I think they blow it in from Siberia! Lordy!<br />
<br />
Things are moving along with my new job at <a href="http://z10.invisionfree.com/CreativeAddictions/index.php?showtopic=8302&st=90&#entry22051720" target="_blank">Creative Addictions</a>. We've got a schedule now for the Mod's challenge which we're all taking part in and guess who's up next? Yep, yours truly! I've offered up a suggestion of what I'd like to have done and am waiting on the go ahead from the others before I start hunting down the items that I need for it. I am so excited! My first run at helping! WooHoo!<br />
<br />
I'm making masks now! So far, I've got 5 made! They're Valentines masks and Belinda's saving them for <a href="http://z10.invisionfree.com/CreativeAddictions/index.php?showtopic=8302&st=90&#entry22051720" target="_blank">CA's</a> new Blog so when the Blog's all done, she's going to put them on it somewhere! She says I'm doing great and I can make all I like so I'm going to keep on until I run out of ideas. I mean, how many hearts and flowers masks can one make, right? Smile/Wink...<br />
<br />
I'm feeling so much better today even though I didn't climb into bed until 5 a.m. last night and got up at 10:30 this morning. No nap either so doing pretty good. Since I couldn't sleep last night, I made a pot of potato soup with beef and bacon. It turned out fantastic!!! Even Gretchyn can appreciate that mamma is a good cook. lol She had 2 bowls all by herself! lol At seperate times of course.<br />
<br />
I'm on the Fox Network waiting for Charlie Sheen's Show but don't seem to be getting it. hmmm All that's on is American Idol. I don't like that show but am suffering through to see if Charlie comes up next maybe. I hope so, I think he's a great actor. <br />
<br />
Well, later taters, take care...<br />

Still having a medium amount of pain, but slowly getting better. I tried ramen noodles w noodles last night instead of just drinking the broth and a couple pieces of toast. So far so good. <br />
<br />
I made a big bowl of pudding last night and later today I'm going to try a cup of it and hope that it'll treat my pancreas ok and not backfire on me. lol I still don't understand why the ER or my doctor didn't put me on an antibiotic. <br />
<br />
It's a gorgeous day today and I've got the door open for fresh air. The dog and cats are loving it! Me too! lol It's nice but today's the last of our January thaw so it's back to canned air tomorrow.<br />
<br />
The college kids are all on line so I've been fighting for a smidge of internet access today. For a while, I just gave up when it went down to 3 bars. ugh<br />
<br />
Yep, I've given up on The Nook, no one wants to do any challenges, or even sign in so it's a no go. I don't blame them, there are so many other groups out there that are more active and fun. Even I have found myself constantly at Creative Addictions as a member because it's such a great group! So Nook will just sit there till the .com runs out and I'll probably just delete it. What's the use of having a group when there's no one there?<br />
<br />
Hope your all having a nice Saturday!<br />
<br />
Hugs to all,<br />

Well it's been about 2 weeks but I finally caved in and headed to the ER with an overnight bag deciding that I just couldn't take the freaking pain any longer. I kept hoping it was something like a pulled muscle in my abdomen from my coughing. Yeah, I have smokers cough. ugh. The pain didn't go away, it kept getting worse, and the last couple of days I was absolutely miserable! All I was eating, well drinking was the broth from ramen noodles, chicken noodle soup and nothing else.<br />
<br />
Anyway, got there at 5p.m. The wait was unbearable but I hung in there. Finally got to my room, waited another half hour. So, after seeing 2 nurses, the lady who gets all the insurance info, I got tagged then had to drink the "contrast" water so they could send me off to CT scan. That went fine. I got hooked up to a bag of saline, they toook the blood, and got my morphine through it. Ohhhh at last! Relief! That's when I started welling up with tears because of the relief. I'd put up with this for 2 weeks and it was finally over. Whew!<br />
<br />
All of the tests came back, and yep, it was my pancreas again. Acute "plus" Chronic. The nurse explained that being that it's chronic, it will be coming back. Oh fun! I did not want to hear this! I have enough chronic crap in my body to add another one, but guess I'll just have to deal with it. pfffft!<br />
<br />
She gave me a bunch of great tips though to hold it off hopefully for long periods of time. I will be using these tips, because I sure don't want to have to deal with this agony again as long as I can help it! It causes so much pain in my lower back, shoulders, and my entire abdomen! So there's really no comfortable way to sit, lay down, stand, double over, etc.... So even sleep for the last 2 weeks has been horrible.<br />
<br />
Now that the tests and results were done, they said that I could come home. It was midnight! But ya know? I didn't want to be there anyway, and didn't want the cats and dog to spend any more time alone. They paid for the cab to bring me home. I was fine with that, because a cab at midnight here is on the pricey side. The cab I normally use only runs until 8p.m.<br />
<br />
Three days more of liquid diet, move up to jello and yogurt and then really soft foods like mashed potatoes with "no" butter. ewwwww. Oh Lord, anything to get past this!<br />
<br />
So they sent me home with a prescription for pain, and a prescription strength pepto to keep the vicodin from upsetting my already violated tummy. Thank you Lord for saving the day today! <br />
<br />
Anyway, that's how I spent my day. Now listening to my oldies channel watching the cats do their craziness in the middle of the night and feeling my Gretchyn staring at me waiting for me to pack it in and go to bed. lol One more cup of hot tea should do it. Take my meds and hit the trail.<br />
<br />
I have tags to post over at Creative Addictions but I'm waiting until tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Niters all....<br />

Oh seriously. August? Omg I can't believe it. How time just flies! Even if your not having any fun! Sheesh! That's about a third of a year! Where the where was I all this time? Well, I can say this much, I spend tons of time over at <a href="http://z10.invisionfree.com/CreativeAddictions/index.php?act=idx" target="_blank">Creative Addictions PSP</a> Group because it's a total BLAST! There's just so much fun to be had there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, it's been an adventure, that's for sure. I have a new kitten! His name's Oreo and he's about 5 months old now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't he just adorable?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to rename him "DoubleStuff" because of all of the white. lol But he's still Oreo... I know, I have a page for all of my furbabes, but I wanted you to see him right off the bat! lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday was the first day of Winter. It was also the last day of the World. erm, umm, I'm still here, how about you? lmao The end of the Mayan calander. I usually put a new on up on the wall come January 1st.... Why didn't they? lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm finally in the last leg (pardon the pun) of getting a scooter. Woo Hoo!!! Yep, all that's needed now is one final visit to my doctor, him filling out the paperwork, sending it on to my insurance company and getting my scooter! I'm so glad too because the old left leg is about useless at this point. I'm anxious and really excited!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here's hoping you all have a wonderful Merry Christmas, </div>

Maybe I should explain my nick a little. It was actually given to me about 5 years ago by a sweet friend who lives on one of the Grecian Isles. I didn't think I liked it at first, but thought about it for a while. My family has a lot of "Ron's" in it. My Dad, one of my Grandfathers, my son. Anyway, I never really liked Rhonda at all. There's a "doh" at the end. LMAO So okies, I decided that Rhon was fine with me so for five years now I've been using Rhon as my screen name. So there ya have it.<br />
<br />
I'd love to change my name in RL but it would break my Dad's heart because he actually named me for the actress "Rhonda Flemming". He loved her red hair!!! lol<br />

<strong><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Tuesday Night, well slightly Wednesday Morning. I am starving for a donut in the worst way. I know, my bad...As it is, I made peanutbutter pan cookies the other day and had 3 after dinner so you'd think my sweet tooth was satisfied, but noooo, it's still buggin'. Oh well, it's after Midnight so I'm not walking across the road to the gas station where they keep all the donut goodies. lol</span></strong></div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;">The weather was ok for the most part today. But towards evening, it started heating up instead of cooling off! I keep looking to the skies for a meteor headed for us, but nothing yet. I think the Weather Channel's keeping secrets. lol</span></strong></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I got my wyfy hooked up here finally through the apartment complex. So I called cable and told them to shut off my services. Mostly because the budget says so, but also because I can't stand the overly mature commercials, the constant re-runs of re-runs and there's nothing new. So I quit them. Maybe in a couple of years down the line they'll have some new stuff that's interesting, and they'll not have the outlandish commercials. I don't know.</span></strong></div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">

Yup, nothing on tv so I've got the Jam's on. My fav channel, the "OLDIES" on 93.5 Toledo/Bowling Green. Best channel in the world!! I just can't get into what they play now. Sorry kids, but I have to be able to understand the words, and be able to tell what instrument they're playing. Nowadays it's anybodies guess. lol Oh cool, it's '</span></strong><strong><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Retha!</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;">It's an awesome beautiful day today! I've been fiddling around with all of my thousands of back up DVD's looking for more of my downloaded plugins for Paint Shop Pro. Right now as it stands, I only have 2 lines of plugins when before there were 7. hmmm I really can't remember them either so that's why I've been searching through DVD's. I have found several, but no way as many as I had before. I wonder where they took off to, also.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I did get my Zip a Lot program back where it belongs. Whew, I really needed that!</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Ok, I'm about tired of the cleaning girls. Every time they use my vacuum, they end up getting it plugged up somehow. UGH, UGH!!! Now, I have to get the tool I use for unsnagging drains, and try to unsnag the vacuum. They probably sucked up a cat toy is what I'm figuring. I tell ya, they just aren't very careful.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Well, not much going on, just takin' a lazy Saturday to the limits. lol</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Ya'll take care and have a fantabulous Weekend!!!</span></strong><br />

It was horribly hot! It got to 97 with heat indicies to 107. UGH~Not sure how we survived before without AC! I'll bet we lost lots of folk and no one ever talked about it is all. That'd be my guess. Back then there were loads of things they didn't talk about. I'm being Super careful not to go crazy running the AC all the time, my electric bill is scary enough!</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I rescheduled my shrink as I was not going to stand outside waiting for a cab for nearly half hour in the heat! I can always call the nurse and get refills on meds so it's not a big deal. I was supposed to see my case manager too, but I'm sure she'll be alright. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Our Paint Shop Pro group, PSP~Nook has grown a little, matured some and now has a rating of EAC. It wasn't much ado, the members all voted and that's that. I always try and make sure that our members are included in whatever we do at the Nook. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I'm up late again. Sanctuary's on SyFy and I'm kind of listening to it. I miss Amanda Tapping as a blonde. I think she looked so much better. But I suppose that's the look they wanted for her in StarGate and in Sanctuary, since it's her show, she can look like she wants.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I've been spending a lot of time over at Creative Addictions also. I really like the group! They have all sorts going on, and challenges every 2 weeks. I love doing the challenges, it keeps my mind busy. I don't do the tut challenges though, I can't follow tuts very well any more so I do the other ones. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I hear my bed calling me now so will close here. Goodnight all. Take care, stay safe, and keep cool.</span></strong><br />

Still reeling from Friday's news. Prayers going out to all of the families having to face the horror's of that night. <br />
<br />
The only other thing is PTE, one of the Paint Shop Pro tube companies is closing it's doors. That's ok by me, I think there are too many psp tube companies anyway.<br />
<br />
Take care all, hug and love your kids, wives, hubbies, anyone close to you and let them know you love them.<br />

<strong><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Happy Saturday to you all! It's on the warm side here, but not too bad actually.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm having a cozy, uncomplicated day here and I'm loving it!</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I had a ripe tomato out in the garden of tomatoland, unfortunately, with all the heat and dry weather, I got an unhappy surprise. I picked the beautifully red fruit off the vine, and when I turned it over, it was all dried up and shrivelled. UGH, and UGH! Even with all my watering best I could, it didn't make it. :( Talk about a bummer!!! I hope this doesn't happen all summer with the rest of them, because there's a bzillion of 'em hanging on the vines waiting to ripen.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I just added a new blinkie over on the right hand side. Whynter/Alexa is creating Scrap Kits now so I put up her blinkie so you can go check them out! They're FTU which is free to use, so go grab 'em! They are lovely!</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Summer has hit full force across the internet and groups are getting so slow. It's difficult to pick out any kind of challenges to do when there aren't enough members participating so I'm just letting the ones posted at the </span></strong><a href="http://psp-nook.com/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Nook</span></strong></a><strong><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> ride until we get more activity.</span></strong></div>

That heat wave just wore me out! I think I spent most of my time on the couch with 2 fans pointed right at me with the AC on and watering my poor garden! I'm so surprised that the 2 hanging veggies made it and so did my patio tomato. They were looking so forlorn and totally sad. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #134f5c;">I was lucky enough to get a huge handful of snow peas, but I think the heat beat them to death. They are such cool weather plants. I might plant some again towards fall and hope for more then.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #134f5c;">It was so weird how the heat wave struck right after those horrible Friday storms! Lots of places here in Ohio are still without power and I feel so darn bad for them because they had to endure the heat wave without power for AC or fans. Lots of suffering going on and I'm keeping them all in my prayers.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #134f5c;">I hope that you all are living comfy again now that the heat wave has passed. Now it's out West again, and they can keep it! I mean, desert and all...lol</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #134f5c;">We're presently having a Poll at </span></strong><a href="http://psp-nook.com/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #134f5c;">the Nook</span></strong></a><strong><span style="color: #134f5c;"> to see if members would like to up our rating from PG-13 to EAC a more adultish type rating. It would be nice to see more members joining in the challenges and maybe even get more members joining knowing they don't have to be so restricted in what's posted. No full nudity or nasty stuff, just a little more mature is all. I personally don't have a problem with that. Anyway, so far EAC has 75% of the votes with keeping the PG-13 only one vote. I bet we end up changing our rating. The Poll is up for 2 weeks, so we'll see just what happens.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #134f5c;">I've got dishes to do, then I'm playing in Paint Shop Pro! Take care and stay cool!</span></strong><br />
