I've pretty much got my web site cleaned up and tidy.. it was a mess! Why didn't someone tell me that the pages I thought had black backgrounds was actually a froggy/teal green? Bleah!
It's been a busy week. Yesterday Stan, Nick and I went to Dyche cemetery in London and got some more cemetery shots... Dyche has quite a few pretty nice statues...and Nick.. to my amazement, he actually laid right down on top of a few graves to get shots straight up at the statues. That was pretty fun! I asked him today if he had nightmares last night but he said no. How cool is that?
I keep hearing a car out in the driveway...it's 1 a.m. so I know no one is there, but still I keep hearing it.
I just finished watching part 1 of Faces of Death. Some of it looks pretty bogus, but there are a few scenes that look very real, and pretty dang icky. All I can say about that movie today, is the same thing I said 15+ years ago when I first saw it. "God-A-Mighty." Monkey brains. Just... God-A-Mighty. Back then, when I rented the series, my grandmother came over to watch them with me. Oh Lord, it was getting later and later and the more I watched, the sicker I got... my head was pounding (yes from the movies) ...and Mamaw just sat there on the edge of her seat, enthralled by what she was seeing, so I forced myself to sit there too, watching them with her. Those things just fascinated that woman. I wish she was here watching with me tonight. Oh well.. if wishes were horses beggers would ride, so they say.
While you have the people you love nearby, enjoy them. When they're gone, I don't care how much time passes, you never ever stop missing them. Ever. I still find myself thinking, Oh I wish I could tell her.. or.. I wish she could see this.
Mallory and Mikyla are spending the night tonight. Mik fell to sleep early, about 8ish or so, she's not feeling too well. I put Joel down for a nap, and it made him mad, so he was crying and calling out for us to let him up, and it upset Mallory, who decided she wanted to go home, but I couldn't get Sarah to answer the phone, so after the online paranormal meeting, I let Joel up and then the three of us baked some toll house cookies from scratch. They were pretty good, Mallory had a good time doing it, and by the time we were done she'd changed her mind about going home.
Mik just woke up.. she's drank 2 bottles of water, we have to keep bottled water in the fridge for her, she drinks it the way other kids drink cans of pop. I made a mistake last week and got some brand with a deer on the lable, and every time I gave it to her I just felt that it wasn't sanitary. I don't know if that pic on the label had anything to do with it or not, but it tasted bad. This time I got Kid Connection, and it's pretty good water.
Mom cracked me up today. She was talking about mowing her grass, and how she's tired of doing it from all summer.. (She's not been on a mower every minute of every hour, every day, just when it needs it) She was going on about it, how glad she is that it's fall, so she can have a break from it, and she piped up and said, "Boy my next husband is going to know what a mower is for!"
Suddenly I cracked up laughing.. this mind movie went flashing through my head...just.. this way old guy using a walker, on his way to get the Cadet out of the garage, spittle from his exertion dripping off of his chin, shuffling, trying to hurry so he doesn't taste the wrath of mom, getting to that mower to please her, wondering how the hell he's going to get his skinny, arthritic legs to pull him up and into the driver's seat so he can mow.
*grins wickedly*
Mom! Give my future step-daddy a break! Dang, woman, have a heart! Be content with having him weed-eat the bank! *breaks up all over again* Ohhh my poor poor future step-daddy!
Lisa and Nick came over and brought pizza tonight. It was good too. I wasn't expecting them to bring pizza, but it was a nice surprise! Thanks, Lisa! Not this weekend, but next weekend, she's taking us to The Quaint Little Town, in Virginia. I'm looking forward to it.. I bet a quaint little town would have a really nice graveyard or two for me to haunt!
Nick and I are going to Lexington Cemetery soon. I want to go before it starts getting way cold. I bet fall shots from there would be very pretty. Maybe the following weekend after Quaint.
We had dinner over at Mom's last night, she made a big o' pot of ghoulash. It was good too..and hot garlic buttered rolls.. a big fresh salad.. mm! Thanks again, Mom!
And in closing, I ask...did you ever notice how much parmesian cheese Darlene puts on her pizza there in the beginning of Roseanne?
