This Week….Thus Far
This week started off with a BANG. A big, fat, stinky bang, people.
Here’s a little list of happenings thus far….and remember, it’s only Wednesday Monday morning at 5:15, our septic system decided it was time to back-up into the house…I will spare you the grody details. Luckily, a pumper…well, the only pumper in our area, was available,
and came right out. In order to not destroy our garden, they used shovels to dig down to the tank.
This was an all day process…. $cha-ching$
That same morning, between the hours of 7:00 and noon, someone ran into my suv, and busted
a clearance light…. $cha-ching$
My sister-in-law has a birthday today, mine is tomorrow. We are supposed to go out for
steaks and drinks to celebrate tonight…yay! But never fear, there is a little tiny problem. The folks who
own the restaurant in town, just called and said their dog is sick, so they may not open tonight.
That may sound strange, but remember, we live in the middle of nowhere, we do things a little different around here…
Yesterday morning, I woke up with a stye. I have never ever had a stye. A stye on the eye…is not fun.
And it hurts. In fact my whole face hurts.
I have been driving my car on empty for a day…or so. I forgot this little fact when I left town and
headed for the ranch yesterday. After my husband got home, we discovered we needed something from town to finish a project, and he says “you go to town, and I’ll keep working.” It was at that very
moment, I remembered my fuel situation. My response, “you better go, I’ll probably bring home the wrong stuff.” To which he replies, “No, you go. I’ll call ahead so they can have it ready for you to pick up.” Sheesh…he’s got me between a rock and hard place. “okay, so here’s the deal…I forgot to get gas
and I’m afraid the suv won’t make it to town.” I said all that really, really fast.
He just took my keys, told me to keep my phone handy, you know… in case he ends up walking.
It all turned out fine…for once.
So, that’s my week so far. How has your week been?

Well you need a big early Happy Birthday Hug and a pat on the back. Then if you want I can let you borrow my Margarita Machine for the weekend because Girl it sounds like you may need it!!! I can't even count how many times I've driven through town and forgot to get gas and then wasn't sure I'd make it back to town.. lol And the gas station closes at like 6pm around here in the sticks. My hubby will be outside this weekend digging for the opening to our septic tank after reading this.. The dude that installed it left no marker of anykind.

We didn't have any markers either…we knew the general area, though…they found it on the 5 the hole!
What time can I pick up the Margarita Machine?
dcash

Our toilet clogged up this week. It took a night and day to get it flowing again. What a pain!
