Just one of them weeks..............

Have you ever had a week that you just wanted to drop dead? Well that was my week this week. Here is a brief Synopsis:

Monday: Doctor's Appointment, she changes some of my meds and I have to get blood work done, damn vampires!!! Got that done, Donnie was off work so we got some running done, went home allis right in the Combs World!

Tuesday: 7:20 a.m., or as I call it the butt crack of dawn. Doctor's office calls and wants me in. Well I cannot make it in because Donnie is working that day, so they schedule the appointment for Thursday at 3:20.

Wednesday: Worry about Doctor's appointment and tackle the never ending mountain of laundry. We are either the dirtiest people or the cleanest, I have yet to figure this one out.

Thursday: Go to Doctor's appointment. Well the old blood sugar is over 300, well 335 to be exact. Cholesteral is at 215 not too bad could be lower. But my Triglycerides are over 700, doctor says I am asking for a case of Pancreatitis to occur. I other words I have to get this down or I am gonna be really sick or dead, one of the 2. So I get new meds, Avandia for the diabetes, blood monitoring kit the whole smear. and in 2 weeks on the 14th of may a whole 40 minute appointment with her for the whole shebang.

Friday: Started my regime

I do not know what is gonna be worse, No Mountain Dew or no smoking, gotta quit both of them. Oh well if it helps me live to be 80 I guess Iam gonna have to do it.

Ain't she cute!!! Yes I have a cat like this. Snoball loves to be in my Scrap room when I am in there. She sits and watches me scrap. Sometimes she will jump up on my table and lay down on one of my layouts. Needless to say she has had photo tabs stuck to her Butt. and no she does not have a preference for which type I use.

My 2 Cents on Imus and the Remark

Okay but first without Further Ado, today's kitty: Ain't it CUTE!!!

Okay All this mess with Don Imus and the remark he made on his radio show. First things first, I DO NOT CONDONE WHAT HE SAID! I beleive, he really put his foot in his mouth and really needs to chew on this one for awhile. BUT..... What ever happened to free speech!?!? Yes I do agree that what you say can have repercussions on you. Now this man has lost his job because of this, is this right??? That is all I gotta say about that!

Bad storms here yesterday, at least no tornados like the first of March in this area. But we do need the rain, so I will not complain about that. But First part of the week, we are running the AC, tonight we will be running the heat?? WTH?? I think Mother Nature is in need of Prozac, cuz she done lost her bean this spring!!!

April...... so far

First Cat pic of the day:Luffs dem Cheezburger kitties!!! Speaking of kitties I downloaded all of the to PhotoBucket last night. I had ocer 60 kitties in that folder. OMG, no wonder this computer was slow!!! EEEKKKKKK!!!

Still looking at houses. We have gone from already bulit to looking at Modular Houses. Lord have they changed. They really look like a real house now and not a box that you can live in. Oh the choices!!!!

New season of the Deadliest Catch is now on Discovery channel. I am more addicted than ever to this show. If you have never heard of it here is a brief synopsis. They film real life Crab boats in Alaska. How they live aboard ship, make their catch and other interesting things. The neat thing about it is you really get up close and personal with the crews. Check it out Tuesday nights at 9 pm eastern on the Discovery Channel.

Today is the end of Keeping Memories Alive Top Scrapper Challenge. Yes I entered, Am I gonna win??? I doubt it very seriously but at least I tried. Well find out later today. will try to update tomorrow.

House Hunting 101

Presenting the cat of the day!



Looking for a home to purchase is pretty much wearing Don and I to a frazzle. This would be our first home purchase and last, if I can help it. You see being in the military you move constantly. New duty station and you might have to move into an apartment first before you can get housing. Then when housing opens up you have to move on post! Move, Move, Move, and Move!!!





Since we have "Retired" and moved back to Alabama, this is it. We are looking for the last home for the rest of our lives. NO MORE MOVING!!! We are planting the roots of the Combs Family!! This house has got to be perfect or near perfect. I do not think there is a house out there that is perfect. We have been looking since January and we have seen so many houses, I dream of them!!!

But we have been narrowing down the choices.

• Has to be in the country, no city livin here.


• Must have 3 bedrroms and 2 baths, minimum! Got to have room for the scrapping and the computering.


• Must have fenced backyard for the Tater and Pitiful.


• No open floor plan! I do not want a guest walking through the front door of our house and Hello there is my kitchen. Nope not gonna work there!


• Must have a carport, garage would be nicer but not a requirement for purchase.


• MUST HAVE CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING! You cannot live in the South with it this important item. Unless you wanna just roast your buns off!!

SO there ya have it. Just our simple needs in 6 lines, well besides all the rest of the stuff ya get in a house.

House hunting will begin again Saturday. Don is off, so off we go in the car to look and walk, and look and walk. Well you get the idea!

And Today's picture of the day is........

I just love the look of this kitties face. Precious!!!

March 19th- Can we just skip this day?

I am not a fan of this date in history. Really, I am not joking! Today is the 3rd anniversary of my Mom passing away. I guess you could say this is one of my dark days. Don't wanna be around people, don't even want to be bothered by them. I really miss her, more and more each day. I still expect that old phone to ring and it will be her on the line seeing what I have been up to today. I guess you really never really appreciate all what your mom has done for you in her lifetime until she is gone. Don't forget she gave birth to you, nutured you, kissed the booboo's away and many other things. I guess that is why I am so upset when people speak bad of their mother's. Yep there was a time when my Mom and I barely spoke to each other for some stupid reason or another. And then there was times I would just run to her for her advice, whether I took it or not. I just miss her and there is nothing that will ever change that feeling. But one day I will see her again and then we can spent eternity together doing all the things I wish I could have made time for, to be with her, just to enjoy her company.

Mommie I love you very much and miss you more and more.

Happy Saint Paddy's Day...... well almost

I think I will start putting kitty pics on my blog and I think this is the perfect one to start with. Most people, mainly women, do feel this why. That is why this baby is named Snarky Kitty. Have a great day!!

Tuesday Night at the TV

I think Tuesday night is about the only night I really watch network TV. NCIS on CBS, Law and Order: CI and SVU on NBC. That is about all the network TV I watch. In other words They have boring shows. Well except for ER on Thursday nights. Gotta watch my ER.

Same old, same old this week so far. I wish Donnie could find another job. He hates where he is working at and I do not blame him. Hopefully in April when the Job on Fort Benning opens I can give him some relief and he can quit that damn job of his.

Started a new competition this week, The KMA Top Scrapper. Well at least we do not get voted off every week. We have to accumulate points and at the end of the 6 weeks of competion the person who has the most points wins. I still wonder what the goodies are that we win?

Speaking of winning, I won a Pub Calls Contest. Well it was a random drawing from a Scavenger Hunt but hey I won something!! Can't wait till it comes in the mail and I see what it is. Later All

Scrapbooking

I really do not understand alot of the backstabbing that is happening in my favorite hobbies industry. Who is Laura Solomon?? What is wrong with Scrap That Moment?? Who is Tara G. of Dreamstreet Papers?? Has scrapbooking gone totally wacko???? I guess I am one of the few that is not in the inner circle nor cares to be in that circle of that much backstabbing is going on. Makes me Sad!!

February

I pretty much forgot about this blog here. I guess I need to update more often.

Latest Happings

Had to get a new car right before Christmas. That was fun! No the truck and the little pouddle car both died within a week of one another. First, the truck, the freeze plug finally went in it. And the Little Puddle car finally blew her engine. Now we have a 2004 Cheverolet Malibu LS. Needless to say I love this car!!!!!

Still looking for work. I guess that will be a never ending search around here. SOmetimes I wish we were back in Louisiana or had moved to Missouri. But as cold as it has been in Missouri lately I am glad we are down south.

My favorite movie month has started on Turner Classic Movies. 31 Days of Oscar, I love the month of February! I have already seen some great movies and it is only the 7th of February. Just great old time movies that have either won an Oscar or were nominated for an Oscar. Just great old time movies.
