bloggity, blog, blog!
sheesh!
I can't keep up with life these days!! Not even with my own blog, let alone with everyone else's!
So okay, I'm posting to avoid that horrible blank void on my blog. What to say?
Most of what I could say, you probably don't wanna hear....
Sis and her new man seem to be happy as the proverbial two turtle doves. They didn't go anywhere. Well, I mean they didn't go stay anywhere. They ran all over town and visited just about everyone they know. They put up their mailbox and had their sa+illi+e +v installed and a new phone jack put in...they had coffee every morning on the porch together and watched the sun set out there in the evening.
All in all, I think that taking the week to just spend at home together was a good idea. Even though I kept pushing them to GO SOMEWHERE. I wish Tommy and I had had a week to spend together instead of just a few days. *sigh* Yeah, we had a great few days, but it was over and back to The Grind way too soon. I think the Bible custom of the new couple having a year...a YEAR....to learn about each other, to become accustomed to being two-as-one, etc. is an EXCELLENT idea! ;) Even a month or two nowadays would be wonderful. *sigh* If only!
Anyhow...I even think maybe we'll learn to get along with Him. ;) It's still a little early to say for sure. I mean, we have yet to get through the holidays with the new couple. (I'm dreading that, somehow...we've been doing it "our way" for a long time, now we gotta change it again. poo) He seems to do better one-on-one with people than in a group. Maybe. Case helped with the mailbox thing. He got some tools for them and He talked an unusual lot to Case. Then when they came up here to return the tools, He talked to me some about computers. Maybe it's in getting on a topic he relates heavily too as well. Hmm... Ah, well...
I'm still going to the chiro. Still not "holding" re: the atlas (upper most bone in spine, where skull rests) Still getting some headaches, but they seem to be more in the neck and jaw area and not so much like the migraines I had been getting. They're bad all the same, though. *sigh*
I'm still taking all of the meds I had been. About half of which cause drowsiness and/or fatigue. :( I am SO tired of being tired. I could sleep all day and all night, I think. The only good thing is that the one migraine med causes a loss of appetite and so, I've been losing some weight, or at least some inches. Now if I only had enough energy to get some exercise! *sigh* For now, I won't complain about being down a size. No way!
Things are coming together for Corey's M-st@ng, parts are being gathered, half the balance has been paid off in one third of the time alotted. We got him the struts that made it drivable for his birthday and Casey bought him a silver pony to replace the faded red-white-blue one with the broken tail. Ptiful! So he was thrilled and he's so pleased to have half of it paid off already. If the Trep and the Expl0rer will just hold up til ... well, til we can get by without them, I guess. Sheesh.
I am now looking for a vehicle that costs under 20K and gets 50mpg. Tommy says I'll be looking for a long time. *hmph* I'm sick of these blasted gas prices. And what with the Exp's check engine light coming on and all manner of other not-so-groovy things going on with it? Well, I figure I might oughta be looking. Even if we can't afford to buy anything. Maybe we oughta just get the bikes serviced? Do like Bikin' Abby? Hmm? Except we live in the rurals, not the 'burbs. Buzzing over to the Stop-n-Shop for a few items isn't an option. *sigh* When we make a trip to the grocery, it's for more than a bike basketful. *siiiigh*
We've now mowed the yard twice. It's needed it probably four times. Dandelions are running amok, of course, like they do every year. But it's been absolutely gorgeous on the good days and just dreamy to have the windows open and be able to hear the birds and feel the breezes. I've instructed the boys that when I'm old and ready for the home, just make sure I can hear the birds. That makes all the difference in the world to me. To be able to hear the birds. *ahhhh*
The Linda-gang finally made it to my humble sty a few days ago. After the rain cancelling a cookout at their house, and a ton of baby chicks taking up their living room, we had them over here. Wild. :) I actually made it through the prep, which wasn't much considering that they brought basically all of the food!! I think a basically good time was had by all. At least the kids. "When can we come back, Mom?"
"We have to go home first."
"Can we go home and then come right back?"
You can guess what she said at like 10:30pm?? LOL!
Well, that's about all I can do for an update right now. I'm really hurting tonight. Always hurts pretty bad after one of those adjustments with the big thingie. What is that thing, Claire? Anyhow, it wipes me out. Hope I can recoup tonight so I can tackle the grocery list tomorrow! Oh, and the laundry. Gah. How I hate laundry.

G~ I don't know what the "thing" is. My chiro is a NUCCA doc and he doesn't use anything except the palm of his hands on my jaw near my ear...he has to take exact measurements...check it out: http://www.nucca.org/
On another note, thanks for my laughs/groans today with the gas "jokes." It is getting pathetic, isn't it?

Hope your feeling better today G~
Yep, we all had fun at your house. Wanna 'nother funny quote? The next day my C said to me "C has a fort in his room! He pulls these stairs down from his celing, and you can go up into his fort! And he calls it an attic!" roflol
I'm glad your sis and hubby are doing well. They just may have had the right idea about not going anywhere, and just settling in. But I'm not an expert on this. We got married on Labor day weekend, cause D didn't want to take any time off work. We got married on Friday, and he had Monday off, went back to work on Tuesday. hehehehe The wedding was on Friday, to get as much time as possible before he went back to work. BUT he was back over to his parents house the NEXT day working on his car that was broken down. The 'Stang. grrrrrrr see this car thing goes WAY, WAY back! Oh, yeah, he took me with him. Oh Joy! any way, enough of that
Hope the chiro starts helping! I'm too chicken to go to one! Don't want no one cracking my neck!
Oh, and just eat the dandelions!

hmm, claire...I thought we were both talking about these kinda guy that use this thing: http://atlasorthogonality.com/instrument.htm
He only uses that when my atlas is "out", which it was Monday. Same thing w/the exact measurements, etc. He took forEVER during the initial xrays so he could align correctly during the whateveryoucallit when he uses that thing-a-ma-bob. Then he puts me in a really painful position so I'm in the PERFECT condition before he lines up that metal needle-looking thing and I hear this quick POP, feel nothing and he lets me up. I can feel a difference soon, tho. He sends me home in a collar/brace kinda thing for 3 hours. I feel pretty sore for about a day, which makes sense seeing as he just moved a bone.
I just want to get over the headaches, over the constant fatigue, over the lethargy, over the constant tension/pain in my shoulders/neck/back and keep losing weight!
Um. Anyhow...that's one of the instruments he uses on me.
No cracking, Linda. He's not one of those kinda chiros. Been there, done that. This makes lots more sense, but is slower. At least in my case. Probably not as slow for everyone.

Hi G~
I know what you mean about having a hard time keeping up. I've been feeling that way lately too. Hope the newlyweds have much marital bliss....I love the idea of a whole year honeymoon. Who'd pay for that is what I wanna know!

also interesting re: chiro stuff::: http://www.upcspine.com/PDF/Cowin.pdf
FINALLY found something that doesn't relate right back to that same Dr. Sweat dude. Bleh!

Dia, I think in the Bible, the "honeymoon" wasn't a big trip. I think it was more like what Sis & new-BIL did. Just spend time together, working around the house, etc., etc. Ya know?
Just not having other demands on your time.
To me? THAT would be a VERY NICE vacation!!!
Posted by: G~ | April 26, 2006 11:20 AM
Glad the wedding went ok.Hope you get to feeling better.

Thought I already posted this, Linda, but it's not showing up!!
Um, ROFLMBO about the mysterious attic. What in the world was he showing them the attic for?!? I bet they were just curious as to why C has a ladder in his closet! LOL! So funny! If CP had a clue what a major hassle that thing is to get into, he wouldn't have thought it so glamorous! ROFL!
Your "honeymoon" sounds about like mine. We both took Monday off & I think T had Tues too, so we took our time getting home and I didn't show up to my table-waiting job at the Boe-Nan-Zah that day. Sheesh.
A weak LOL about D being back at his parents' working on a car the day after! Good grief! These men and their toys! Poor widdah T. He had to get rid of his just so we had $ to get married!
I told him IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS that he was NOT "hot-rodding" this 'Stang of C's. NO WAY NO HOW!
He says, Oh, of course not! all innocently.
I says, For your information, I remember well how you spent hundreds putting drag racing crap in that 61 Imp@l@, so much so that it shook its guts out and was constantly having to be worked on! What a nice car it'd have been if you'd put it back stock!! Etc., etc.
It really WAS a nice car, but he tried to make it a dragster instead of just a good road car and in the process, drained his little bank and any marry-i-age funds. He was kinda devistated to have to sell it (or rather, give it away!) and I hated it for him, but he had been really stupid, kwim?!! *siiigh*
Men!
Anyhow, I want this car to just be a nice, GOOD car for C. Not a blow-you-off-the-road car, not a badder-than-anyone-else's-car car...just a good, reliable, sharp car that he can be proud of.
*sigh*
He's dreading SO BAD to cut into the back quarter!! LOL! They got a door and quarter for what D told them (I THINK) they might be able to get a door for! Yipee!
I dread all the noise. Gah!
Okay...um, lessee, what else?
Um, dandelions...I think I've tried them before...long time, tho and I barely had enough to fool with...you only eat the leaves, right? (need to drag out my old "natural foods" book!)
I jess might do that! Ha!
:)

Your C told me about the car parts when he was here Sunday. He also preceded to tell me that the guy told him he could get engine parts.
me: the engine doesn't run?
C: Yeah, it runs, but these are performance parts.
me: oh, yeah, so you can make it run faster
C: yeah
me: that's not the sort of thing you should be telling your gf's mother!
C: oh...um...yeah....um....I'm an honest guy...
ROFLOL
too funny!
guys and their cars! grrrrrrrrrrr

Rassen-frassen !#?#!! Corey $%?!! fussin-mussin !!?$! whoop his !#!"!! hide
Gah! I know, I know!! I catch them talking about this and that and I have to just about crawl under the couch to keep from throwing heavy objects at them.
It's like DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT I SAID ABOUT SOUPING UP CARS?!?!?!?!!!
Gah!
Last I heard, they were just having trouble getting that intake jiggy. Getting a stock one is no good b/c of how it's made. This car has been a pistol to find SOME parts for b/c of it being so rare or whatever...the wheels are gonna be a real pain to find. We're gonna have to start putting some miles on the Exp. to look for them now. We shoulda bought the set we found on E-boo if we'd known how hard they'd be to come by! Sheesh!
Posted by: G~ | April 27, 2006 12:08 PM
yeah, they hear, but the choose to not really hear
kwim?

I just can't put together anything that really gets at what is going on in my head these days and this post SORTA does, but then again...it sorta doesn't.
*sigh*
My 'net's acting up, too. Urgh!
So...I dunno where you are right now, Mr. Sir, but behave you'se'f da best you can, you hyah me? ;)

Thanks a lot Linda.
