Well, things are starting to look up around here. Danny got a job at Tysons and he starts work Monday morning. Hurray...now I just hope he can keep it longer than his usual two weeks. We'll see. eek
Talked to Nancy a little while ago. They are going to ride out Hurricane Ike exclaim I am so worried about them, but at least they are well prepared. Most of Houston and Humble are already closing down to prepare for Ike. I am just going to have to trust in God to keep them safe. Once Nancy makes up her mind there is no talking her out of it. rolleyes (heavy sigh)
Our weather here says we have to be aware that Ike is so large and that he will be heading our way. Rains and wind are coming and I am a bit nervous, but Ron just shrugs it off. MEN!
Today is the 7th anniversary of 9-11, the attack on the twin towers, pentagon and the downed plane. I still remember everything about that day...where I was, what I was doing, who I was with, shock, fear, tears...so terrible. I still can see it in my minds eye.
Darn, I am almost tempted to buy Ron some cigarettes. He is such a damn grouch. He had two cigs last night instead of his 1 1/2 packs a day and for a while he was actually nice. Ahhhh, it was nice. I know I need to be more tolerant because he has been smoking 35 years and it is an addiction. I remember when I quit years ago...1979 to be exact. Course I had only been smoking about 10 years. I also had pneumonia at the time and didn't care if I ever smoked again. Thats when my weight got out of control and I never got it back in control. Plus all the steroids from the Dr. for the pneumonia... AHHHH to be thinner again.
Well, gonna go check the marketplace. See you next time!!
Well, gotta get on with things around here.
