Goodmorning this Saturday
Goodmorning, everybody....
Thought I'd drop in and say Hi... There hasn't been much going on the past couple of days, but thought I'd touch base with you all anyway.
We had made plans to go to Landon's Thurs. night for supper, but then opted to do it on Wed. night instead. I had told Moriah I would take her shopping on Thurs night, after Lee got his paycheck...and I could fill the car with gas, so I wouldn't have to worry about running out somewhere...I was so low.
Our of the blue, Landon calls me on Thursday, and said that the local grocery store there in Ashland had had a big meat sale...Landon got about $100 worth of meet for $35, I think he said. So...he was wanting to see if we wanted to come out for supper again, on Thurs. I told him that I just didn't know, and wasn't sure if his dad would want to do that two nights in a row...or if he'd just rather go home after work. So, when I went up to pick up Lee's check, I ask him what he wanted to do as far as supper that evening...and he said he was open to whatever we wanted to do....So...we went ahead and headed out to Landon and Amanda's for supper, as soon as I picked up Lee around 7. We had burgers...which we absolutely fabulous. The weather was really nice, and I think Landon was in a bit of a cookout/grill mood. But, realized when he got ready to start his fire, that he remembered that the grill part or grate, of his bbq, was missing....he thinks it's some of the little neighborhood kids, that have evidently taken off with it, and who knows where it is. So...we just opted to fry the hambs. in a pan. Naturally, they would have been better cook out on the grill, but they were still wonderful. We watched a couple of movies, and got home, I think, about midnight, or shortly before.
Yesterday, I didn't really have anything that needed to be done, so I sent Lee to work with the car...that always helps to save on gas. It was rather nice not having to get out and go anywhere, or do anything. I spent the majority of my day online...talking with a new friend that I've made over the past couple of days. I don't remember if I told you or not...I know I have mentioned it to some, but almost a yr. ago, a post was made in one of my groups, from a lady that wanted to request prayer, and support for the husband of a friend, a soldier that was stationed in Iraq. She requested that if we felt so led, to add him to our addresses...to share encouragement, devotions, and prayer, for this soldier, while he was serving so far from home. So...I like others, added Jeff's name to my address book...sent him devotional...scpritures, ....hoping that he would know there were many people thinking about him, and praying for his safe return home. I'll be honest....it's not that I had forgotten about him...but it was a bit of a shock when I went into my emails a few days ago...and opened a email and began to read...."just wanted to thank you for all you've done...and to let you know I got back home safe." All of a sudden, my heart just lept for joy, when it finally dawned on me who it was. It was just such a relief to know that Jeff arrived home safely, and also that he had appreciated the things that I'd taken the time to send him...as well as many others, I'm sure. So...it was just wonderful to know that he had made it home safely. Since then, in the past couple of days, I've had so much fun getting to know his wife, Elizabeth....she is great, and we've had a ball getting to know each other and talking.
I don't really know if I have anything that needs to be done today, but I went ahead and took Lee to work thismorning, rather than give him the car. As far as I know, I don't have anything to do, but you never know when something might pop up, and here I'd be, stuck without a car.
The guy that's working on our buick promises us that he'll be here tomorrow morning to pick the car up, and take it to his house to start work on it. I sure hope he does what he says he'll do....Tues. is the last day we can have it sitting in the driveway, if it's not gone, then they will evict us. This is all because we've had the car sitting up on a jack with the tire off, because it has been TOO cold for Lee to work on the car. You'd think these people would realize that Feb. is not quite the time to be outside trying to do mechanic work, but as with most "business" people...they could care LESS about your problems. It ticks me off....they've always gotten their rent, but all this is simply because SOMEONE around here, complained to them about the car.... Why...just tell me why, do some people have to try and make it difficult on others. We have no idea who has complained... but if I knew, I'd sure be showing up at their door, to ask them WHAT I had done to them, that they felt it necessary to call my landlord, and complain, which in the longrun, could cost me my home. Why in the world would you want to do that to someone who has never done a thing against you? I just don't understand it. We live in a duplex....the guy next to us has a band...and often practices late at night...drums, guitar...BUT, I have never called the landlord to complain ...even though I'm listening to banging drums come through the walls of my bedroom. But, they have never done anything to me....or not that I know of, so I would never want to cause them trouble. But, who knows, for all I know it could be our neighbor that did the complaining....all we were told was that they had had complaints about the car from other "tenants", and from other neighbors. There are six duplexes like the one we live in...managed my the same company....so, it's been someone that lives in the same duplexes we do, as well as a neighbor somewhere around here, that doesn't rent from this company. Anyway...all I know is that we have to have the car OUT of the driveway before the end of the month is over. If this guy doesn't show up on Sunday, I'm not sure what we'll do....we'll probably end up having it towed to his house...if he's still gonna do the work on it, or, we're going to have to find someother place to tow the car to have it worked on. But, there is NO way that we can afford to move right now...or I'd just tell them to stuff this little, less than 1,000 sq. feet, 2 br duplex that they charge WAY too much for....$600 per month. Our lease is up the end of June, and Lee and I have discussed that we doubt if we renew another yrs. lease here. We will have some money coming from the settlement on Lee's dad's estate...but, not sure when...were just told around the first of the year when we'd be receiving it, so we're hoping that with that, we can get into a different place....we may even discuss the possibility of using part of that to put money down on a place of our own. We will just have to see how it goes.
So...here I am...just checkin' in with you all this morning, and planning on a pretty lazy day for myself here....I'm just not in the mood to dive too deep into too much today. Think I'll just take it easy today also. I don't think we have anything planned for tonight...unless Landon get's a hair and calls later about supper tonight...although, we had already said that we'd get together tomorrow....but, who knows with us...we could end up out there again tonight...or possibly, they may be able to come over here tonight. We haven't done as much of that as we ususally do, since Mary has been born. We have had some really cold temps. since she's arrived, and I just hate to drag her out in the bitter cold as small as she is. But, the temps the past few days have warmed up a little....I'm hoping that they will continue this way, and that FINALLY, spring is on it's way, and we can put these cold temps. behind us.
I've been wanting to put some new music on my pages in my blog, but have been having trouble with my limewire...so may try to mess with that somemore. If I can't get it to work, guess I'll have to use Kazaa....which I'm not very fond of...it is SOOOOOOOO slow compared to Limewire. I have downloaded it to my puter, but for some reason, it won't install....keeps telling me that it cannot remove old Limewire files....I've deleted everything I can find on limewire...but when I do a search for limewire...it pulls up tons of files, but then won't let me delete them. Anyway..if anyone has any suggestions on what the prob. might be, or how to correct it...I'd sure appreciate it if you'd let me know what needs to be done to fix it. Plus, when I go into my control panel...and to add/remove programs, it doesn't even show that limewire is installed. So...am just trying to figure out how to completely wipe out everything that has to do with limewire, and start from the beginning. Any help or advice you can give would be much appreciated!
Well, guess I'll head outta here. Not that there's much else to do, but am sure that you all don't want to hear me continue on and on and on...about nothin'! lol
I hope you all have a beaufiful day! I'll be around most of the day, and will be back intouch tonight to see what you've all been up to on the web today!
Take care...
Much love,
Lev
