Recommended Posts

Well, folks. It is 8:30 pm here in sunny SD, and the sun is nowhere to be seen, so my construction day is officially over. That leaves FIVE, count THEM FIVE days left to get this place under control!! Yikes!!! And what am I doing???? Logged into LBT, whining about only having FIVE days left!! lol

The California room is going to be the new stash-n-dash destination for the time being, I'm afraid.

But, the siding is almost all up!

P.S. - Did I mention I only have FIVE days left?!?! :D

Why do you only have 5 days?

Got most of the long side done today - just have one more strip across the top, and the last section between the corner and the last window. Then the back around the french doors, and a little strip at the top of the front door.

The good thing about not being done when BF moves in is that he will get to come in and "rescue "you and help tie up loose ends. You know what that kind of thing does for a man, he gets to feel needed and useful. If your able to do this all by yourself without any of his help what is he gonna be there for. Men don't like to hang around for decoration. They like to be fixing something.

My man is a scientist, and has no illusions of being a Tim Allen impersonator. Can you believe he has no interest in TV sports?!?!

I may be a "fossil" widow at various times throughout the year, but I'll never have to worry about the Superbowl ruining my romantic evenings... lol :D

Sounds like our men have that in common. Absolutely no intrest in sports here either! Amazing is'nt it! When I found that out about my man I snatched that guy up before some other woman found out!:laugh

Wow Donali you do good work! You can come and stay at my house anytime. :D

I wouldn't know what to do if my husband didn't watch sports, he loves them all. It usually don't bother me, I love to watch the Mavericks play, and I love NASCAR, but I get some me time for reading etc. when he watches the rest.

Good Luck on finishing, I just know you can do it!

exactly what does a "fossil"widow mean?

My paleontologist (scientist who studies fossils) is forever on field trips, looking for new ones. I love going with, and will do so as often as possible, but I have a church choir job which pretty much kills my weekends, when he will undoubtedly be doing most of his field trips.

I'll be missing a Sunday a month or so, probably, so I can go with at least occasionally, but I'm not ready to give up the job yet, so....

Of course, it's almost impossible to have more "alone time" once he's here than I've had for the past 10 years, when I was seeing him only1-2 weeks each year. Period.

:D

I believe you mentioned fish ponds at one time? Can you see them form the new enclousure? Lots of vegetation, I like that.

Eveverything looks real good, very professional.

No, you can't see the ponds from the porch - they're behind the house, and can be seen from the back window in the master bedroom.

The yard is a total disaster at the moment - imagine all the stereotypes of "white trailer trash", multiply by two, and that's my yard. Heck... That's the inside of the house, too, who am I trying to kid?!?!

In my mind, though, I can see it as I fantasize it could be, so the stuff that doesn't fit into that fantasy kind-of disappears from my view (if that makes any sense). I'm hoping to have some time to clean up the yard and pond area a bit, but I've really made myself promise that I'll do the inside of the house FIRST.

If I ever get things into acceptable shape, I will (OF COURSE!! :D ) post pics... lol

Geeze, any chance you can stay in Vegas an extra week? Even the handyman I paid hasn't shown up to finish the simplest job. Your room looks incredible.

Now that I know your man is a paleontologist, maybe he can tell me if the bones in my rock garden are human. I collected them while exploring the abandoned mines. One day I want to do a whole ghost-town-theme rock garden in my back yard, so I pick up bones & rocks when we explore. I figured these were wild burrow bones - perhaps eaten by a wildcat, but wouldn't it be freaky if they were human?

So, are we still on for exploring Cerbat, Arizona in 2 Sundays? Check out the link up top. It's about an hour's drive - across the Hoover Damn, you get a damn bonus!

If we DON'T go to Cerbot, my guy is going to feel super gipped... This was my carrot for getting him to go. So, whether or not anyone else makes it, he and I are going. Probably first thing Sunday morning, after b'fast. :D

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
