Strange Occurences at my house

August 29th, 2009 by Howard | 3 Comments | Filed in Main

Something strange is going on. All week. It started with of all things, my T shirts. My supply of work undershirts has dwindled, and not been replenished. I’ve checked the right side of my second drawer and there are only a few shirts left. Normally that is replenished regularly by the Shirt Fairy.

The Food Fairy has fallen down on the job too. I keep opening and closing the refrigerator door, yet, nothing appears there. It is pretty much empty except for that dark green thing stumbling around next to the black head of lettuce. Well, I think it is lettuce….

While we are at it, I’ve noticed that the house is a total mess. Dust everywhere, dishes piing up in the sink, cat litter everywhere, the bed hasn’t been made in days, I mean, the place is a disaster!

Worse, the Blog Editor Fairy apparently is on strike too! My blog hasn’t been corrected in days! My typos and misspellings are still lingering online.

This place is falling apart! And I haven’t a clue as to what is causing it. My wife gets home from NY this evening. Maybe she knows something about this…..

Shuttle Launch

shuttle08282009aBufoThe Space Shuttle blasted off this evening at 11:59PM (Friday) into space from Cape Carnival, Florida,and I was on the roof of my house with my camera. As luck would have it (Bad luck that is) there were plenty of clouds, so I only saw it as it rose above them, some 210 miles away. A fairly sucky photo if I do say so myself. But on the brighter side, I didn’t step off the edge of the roof in the dark and fall and break my zoom lens. I also didn’t accidentally tilt the ladder backward and fall into the tiny pond with the three  bufo toads. Any activity or project I undertake that doesn’t involve a hospital emergency room is a big plus.

Peace out my folk.

No, I do not have a hairball caught in the middle of my throat. Been working 10 hour days this week and the wife is out of town, so the four cats are driving me nuts. One of them is glaring at me all the time as if to say, “What did you do with her!!!???”. Two others are concerned and pestering me constantly, and the  other one is too busy sneaking smokes behind the easy chair to even notice that my wife is not here. Cats.

Come to think of it….maybe I do have a hairball…..

Ugh…got to go.

Later,

Tuesday

That;s about all I have to say today. “Tuesday”. I’m trying to not get worked up over politics and news events these days. As Jesus taught, what can worry do for you? You can’t grow one inch or change anything through worry. (SCG Translation).

Today I am going to focus on giving five genuine compliments to five different people. And I don’t mean “Those earrings are nice” or “You have a tight butt.”No, real compliments, that mean something. Someone who handles a situation very well. Someone who does something extremely well. Someone who has some skill that deserves compliments.

Or….I might just find a fresh hot blueberry muffin.

It’s a toss up right now. Muffin or complimenting people.

The muffin is winning right now.

Of course, I could compliment the muffin maker. And the muffin itself. And God who created the ingredients. And, well, three compliments and one muffin is a good day.Who made five the golden number? Three is good.

Hey….did you hear that? (SCG leans right ear to the wind). Yep, I hear it! A fresh hot muffin is calling my name!!!  Gotta go.
