Things I like

[debkor]

Yesterday:::

Making dinner and hearing my son talk on his head set (playing Xbox live) to his friend (while walking down a tunnel with his game and his person) Didn't your momma ever tell you not to walk down hallways alone in the Dark...How funny and witty he is.

Today::
I like when we are going to have a storm.  How you buy food (special dinners) charge up the DVD player in case the electric goes out and get ready to cozy up together.

That all sounded so nice, Deb.


Did the lights go out?

Light,

No not yet.  It's still raining but it is supposed to turn to ice by morning.  My son's school closed while others stayed open this morning.  I don't get that.  Each district had their own way.  The others had late going in and early coming home.  Everything is pointing to over night now but it is raining at the moment.

Lately you can almost guarantee ..*Lights Out* so we prepare for it.  Oh I forgot...I usually take the solar lights inside from outside rather then candles now.  You could land a plane in my living room.  We gave up on flashlights since Cell Phone Lights come in very handy while making your way to the bathroom..which reminds me to charge it up too.

I'm looking at my fireplace and they have so much fake snow and wreaths and villiages set up I would have to take it all down before I lit it.

My friend taught me to get the camping propane heaters While Your Awake (window opened a bit) to warm up and when to bed..off. 

My son (13) year old does not do what my other kids or the neighborhood kids use to do when we had an ice storm..Ice Skates come out.  He loves Hockey so ...and I have the windows broken to prove it...Slap Shot! I even thought of buyng the rink that you can put outside fill it with water and Wha la! neighborhood ice hockey...but it's would go over into my neighbors yard so I can't and I would be replacing many windows then besides my own.

We once joined the neighbors for Board Games and Fun Foods (wine for the Adults) with an enjoyable time..while I was pretty much 3 sheets to the wind came home (all warm from the wine) kids snuggled up all three and 4 dogs in bed for body heat ..when I heard to my littlest one back then..Please don't Pea the bed.

And it always looks so pretty in the day..although I worry about the trees that may come down...I have some big trees.   

So along with many things I dislike come many things out of it that I so DO like...

I'll let you know if it's Lights Out...which reminds me...lol...have to charge up the lap top...Do I still get signal if I'm on Phone line DSL..I think, maybe, right?

I'm so prepared/half in mind and half for real...I better get moving on this. 

Love
Deb

Aww, Deb, thanks for sharing those cozy scenes.
You must be in New England or someplace brrrrr...

But you make it sound warm and fun, and you are so capable.

Would love to share a storm with you and goofy boy!

Deb:

What a great idea..... solar lights in the house when the electric goes.

How ya doing?

Lighter

Hey Hops and Light,

Hoppy your welcome anytime..we do have fun! 

Light,

Ice storm  never came but my son was complaining of a headache that night.  Gave him some motrin and he went to school the next morning.  Got a call from nurse about 1pm that he did not feel good.  Picked him up and he complained of severe back pain around to his hip area, sore throat, and teeth chattering, so cold.  Went to bed, slept 19 hours and then we headed to the Dr's and they thought maybe Strep Throat.   He has an ear infection, possibly strep, and he is kind of flu like too.  Waiting for the Strep test, it first came out negative. 

So although I do not like when he was sick....I so like when we went and ordered Wonton Soup, Gatorade, movies, stopped and looked at the puppies and Ew nasty looking Spiders, as we waited for his prescription to be filled and him not being so (big kid) I'm a teenager as we sat and watched movies, had soup and I tucked him in and explained that WE are not getting a tarantula now he is trying to bargin for a chinchilla  They are cute but No.

So once again along with the dislikes..come many Likes. 

Love
Deb

Yup yup yup, deb..... along with the dislikes..... are the likes.

hope your son feels better.

  "Life should NOT be a  journey to the grave with the  intention of arriving  safely in  an attractive and well preserved body, but  rather to skid in  sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly  used up, totally worn  out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

John Malkovich.  His acting.

[teartracks]

People who are discretionary in passing on information from current or past conversations.

In other words, a person who is not a spout that pours out everything they have hear in ALL their conversations to the next ear that happens to show up.    Discretion about what one chooses to pass on.  What a gift!

Getting my teeth cleaned (after) not the very moment, Crest Sensitivity Tooth Paste, and not having to get a filling till next week, the long nap I took today with some crazy dream of an animal my son wanted for Christmas which was not of This planet but all to very cute that you could dress in clothes and said 100 words. 

Love

-Goo Gone - A wonderful product that removes that aggravating sticky substance that is often left

after you peel away tapes and labels.

-Non computerized gadgets that keep on working and working and working and never get glitches or give error

messages.

-People.  Now that I've rearranged my own 'foolishness', I like being able to take people as they are.

-I also like having the option of taking them (people) or leaving them if I find them toxic.

-I like it that I was born a highly curious person.

I LOVE the Indie Rock female singing group Habonet Nechama


Independent Music

In popular music, independent music, often abbreviated as indie, is a term used to describe independence from major commercial record labels and an autonomous, do-it-yourself approach to recording and publishing.

Independent Labels have been known to strive for minimal influence on the artist they represent, avoiding the artist-cultivating behavior of many major labels. Artists represented by Indie labels have been known to be focused more on producing music than becoming wealthy and/or well known.

When your kid has a plan to scare you *as in getting in the shower to scare his father when the curtain is pulled back* and only to find out that Dad has reached his hand in and turned the water on and the screams are coming from the Kid and he is the one who was surprised. hahahahhaha......

Playing hard with kids on a jumpy castle..... winging them around a basketball court when they're on those little boards with wheels mounted on the bottom.

Going to the bookstore with them.

Holding puppies at the petshop...... looking at all the interesting shrimps and sponges and crabs and brittlestars in the fabulously stocked salt water tanks.

Watching the kids play with the robo and teddy bear hamsters.

Holding snakes and being amazed at how brave the children are when they hold them too.

Watching the birds bite people and refuse to get off their bodies......

not one of my favorite things: /
