Overtime

So I am working overtime tonight and I left my keys at work last night. So I had to call the boss and tell him what I had done, which he said that the PAC would be open for me and he would come in later and get me my keys. The week at work was went very fast. I am very glad that it is over, the nice thing is that tonight is overtime if I did not need the money I would be at the magic game, spending money that we do not have. Well there are 3 weeks left until I am on vacation. I have still not gone on a diet. I need to lose at least 50 pounds. My grandma in Oklahoma does not celebrate Halloween but she wants pictures of me and the wife at "Mickey's not so Scary Halloween Party".

Diets

Well I really need to go back on a diet I just weighted myself and I think I just broke the scale.

Because it said that I weighted 214, but I know that I weight more then that. You can see it on my belly. Well Grandma Willa did not get anything from that storm Ike. But it looks like my mom will get some from it. The cold front that is moving though the plains has hooked up with Ike, and is making it miserable for the Ohio river valley. Went to the movies with the wife last night and saw "Forever Knight" that was a very good movie. Then we went to the Mongolain Grill. I had cute and cudly sheep for dinner. Ran into the bookstore and looked around, but did not find any books of interest. Well I am almost finished with my dad's (Chuck) socks (i found the pattern online @ http://www.redcross.org/museum/exhibits/knits.asp ) My baby sister's blanket is almost done, that one is just side to side single crochet. I have so many projects going on I am not sure which one too do.

Magic Night

Well this time magic night is on the 20th this month hopefully it is not cancelled. The wife is going to this scrapbook thing and then thinking of bingo. Which if I go to magic then its a win win situation. I am push mowing my yard and hate that I broke the mower belt to the blades. The grass is knee high again and the push mower has a bag, which I do not have. The grass is so high that I have to tie open the part that falls down and covers the hole. Once the grass gets to a manageable state I can put the flap back down and it will be a mulching mower. The wife made a good point the other day when she asked me if there was a TV that will work after 17th February 2009. All I could find at a reasonable rate was the Coby &" Color Battery powered flatscreen LCD TV with AC & DC adapter for 114.95. I need one due to the fact that hurricane season is supposed to be in the abundant hurricanes cycle for the next 17 years.

Library

Well I am at the library and fixing to look up some patterns to try and fill up my cd that I am making of knit and crochet patterns. I might look up some patterns for making quilts. Well I found some and there are not that much on www.freepatterns.com/ there are some nice things in the knitting and crochet part of it put not much in the quilting. I even looked in the beading section and found much more then quilting. I want to start hand quilting but my wife is fighting me tooth and nail.

Hospital and Dad

So my step-father went into the hospital last night. He is one of those people who has a forever yard sale, and someone tried to steal one of his guitars. So he runs after the man and jumps on the car and goes down the road aways and then falls off. He broke his collar bone and has road rash real bad. I think he as been watching to much cop shows and he to old to be doing that stuff. Well he at home now, and he has a chip out of his spine. His arm is in a sling.

So Tropical Storm Fay is still being a pain we are getting rain and storms as far south as Tampa, the sun makes a peek around the the clouds and then another storm moves though. The electricity went out yesterday and the phone came back on with out seeing a repair man. I think that I am going to have to rerun the phone wires around the house. I would love to build my own home but I am to lazy for that. So everyone thinks. If I was to do it it would have to be in stages. like one room at a time. The biggest thing is that it takes money to do things like that and we have none. We do not even have the money for me to go see my parents. If I was to do it, it would not bee anytime soon, and be payed for by the time I was done.

Hurricane Update

Well here it is Tuesday I am off of work due to the hurricane and thanking god that it is not going to hit us. The wife got some batteries for me. We have water and food, but it is not can or dry food. I found some 72 hour food packs that I would not mind getting, for just in case of problems with whatever. The wife keeps smoking so I keep smoking. This time the reason was because of the hurricane. I found all kind of things that I would like to get for camping and emergency. but it costs money to get and we are broke. The wife has been using coupons for just about everything. And I have yet to see any of them on sale or have a coupon for them. I would love to get a propane gas stick that hooks up to a big tank and you can then hook up a gas grill and a light with other things. I need some cast iron pots and pans to cook on the grill. The hurricane is now southeast of us and the cone of probably has my county in it and I really do not think that it will hit us.

Well I just looked at http://media.myfoxtampabay.com/myfoxhurricane/ for the latest update and there is another wave out there in the Atlantic. The spaghetti model is headed to the Caribbean sea. I hope that this one fizzles out in the Atlantic. I do not want to see another horrible natural disaster.

Weight

Well I have gained all my weight back and have been bad on my smoking. I have no will power. I have yet to play with my magic cards today. Had to run to the store and get some stuff and none of it was for Hurricane Fay. I need to go back on the diet and lose 50 pounds.
