Quick Note

Sorry my minions, but I will be out of commission for a few days or so. My back is literally giving me a very hard time so I'm going to be taking it easy for a while. If you get bored, you can always read my old shit.

Please don't lose hope. I will drag my silly ass  back to my computer when I can sit without pain.

I love you all so much.

Brightest Blessings

Great Back To School Sale Going On For The Parents

Some Logical Advice

I just couldn't help but post this cartoon I saw. Rick Prick Perry, our lunatic Governor of Texas, has said he is running for President.  I am only going to tell y'all once and only once. Do Not Vote For This Asshole! He's a fucking nut case. He makes me look sane. So please take my advice. Stay far, far away from him.

The New And Improved Tabby Tote

The Crazy Witch's Daybook

Yesterday the city was asking everyone to please water their trees really good because of the bad drought we are having. So this morning I have been busy watering the two pecan trees and the empress tree. that means fighting with the fucking hoses and sprinklers and all that crap. I expect to be sweating my ass off as usual because of the humidity again. So my mood today is of coarse soggy. I really should go find my swimsuit and one of my sarongs and wear that all day. I would be comfortable.

Interesting shit happening: yesterday we had a water main break in front of my house. Lucy and I were sitting  outside, enjoying the afternoon when Lucy got up and started barking. Now understand this, she doesn't bark for anything unless it's a stranger, cat or ghost. But this little girl was barking her head off at something in the street. I looked and it was nothing. She ran to the edge of the yard and really started growling and barking bad. She's a good dog cause she never left the yard.

mud in neighbors driveway and in front of my house

Then I saw it, water was bubbling up from the street, hardly noticeable until it started running down the street and into a neighbors driveway. So I called the city and told them they need to send someone pronto cause water was seeping from the street. I would have had pictures of the slackers doing nothing but my camera was in need of recharging. I did get these this morning at  09:30 am. Wonder what time they get to work? It's now 10:30. Oh wait!! A back ho pun intended just arrived. I do have to say they did fix the pipe last night before leaving the scene of the crime. At least we had that. But they left the hole as you see it in the pictures. No blinkers for night drivers. I was waiting to see if a drunk would drive right into it, but nothing happened, shit!

Right now a dozer is messing up the street big time. He is trying to get all the mud and stuff off the street but he's making a bigger mess. Ooops, they are changing drivers. Oh well.

What my fat fluffy ass is reading: Lots of shit happened yesterday, shit. Way to much for a place like this.
Anywho, I got The Help by Kathryn Stockett  from Amazon.com in the mail. I started reading it as soon as I opened the package. It's a pretty good book. I understand that this is her first that she has written. She almost gets you into the story but she leaves a lot out so you are not entirely drawn into it. That's too bad cause the characters and the story are good.

The weather outside: It's HOT!!! FUCKING HOT!!!  ALL FUCKING DAY LONG IT'S HOT!!!   THERE IS NO RELIEF!!  NOT EVEN IN THE SHADE!!  ICED TEA DRIES UP IN THE FUCKING GLASS BEFORE YOU CAN DRINK IT. THE ICE CUBES ARE EVEN HOT!!
That's the weather report for the rest of the year. Thank you.

Book Review

Before I start this review, I would like to thank Sarah at Ben Bella Books for giving me the chance to review a really great book . She has the patience of a saint. Thanks sooooo much Sarah.

Nyx In The House Of Night:  Mythology, Folklore and Religion in the P.C. and Kristin Cast Vampyre Series is a collection of  wonderful essays. 

I always start by reading the introduction in the book. I have to painfully say that I haven't had the chance to read any of the books in the collection in the Nyx in The House of Night series yet. The introduction sold me into putting every one of the books on my Need To Read list. 

P.C. Cast tells of how she researches her material for the books and characters. She says she has "revised mythology, created worlds  based on history..." I'll say she has, and much more. She becomes editor of this collection of essays from various writers that bring their insights and unique thoughts into their writings. 

There is an essay on Native Americans and the Cherokee Nation called The Magic of Being Cherokee by Jordan Dane. Very well written of the myths and legends of the Cherokee People and of the main character Zoey Redbird and her roots in the House of Night series. 

I won't tell about all the stories in here because it would give away everything. But I will tell you that if you are an avid reader of  Zoey's world and you want to know more, than check out this book. It is crammed with material you might want to know. 

One example are the "Behind the House of Night Names"  in the back of the book. It gives the characters name, then the Greek meaning, who they are in The House Of Night series, etc, etc. I think that this is the best feature if you need to know about someone in the books. The artwork by Allan Torrance is marvelous. Almost intuitive with the essays.

My Mood: 

Yeah,  I'm soggy.  I went out to water the yard and the hose blew up on me, literally. I had to go to the other side of the house to get the other hose cause David took the keys to the "Chamber of Secrets" with him to work and I couldn't get the new hose.

I need to get a second set of keys to that shed. Either that or get my own shed with everything pink so he'll be ashamed to touch anything in it.  Anywho, I was sopping wet but I finished the job. After this post I'm getting some sweet iced tea and plopping my fat fluffy ass in the chair out front and enjoying the morning.

It's so freaking hot:  It's so hot lately that we've been losing our cable service which also means our computer server too. It really sucks. But in a way it's a good thing cause I can read or sit outside and drink in the greeness of the plants. It's so pretty but it's so fucking hot.

I found this cute video via  my husband, David. That kinda shows you what they do at work in the office. But check this out. Who says dogs are stupid.  This one knows it's too hot outside so he's bringing it in. I love it.

Shit I did recently: This past weekend I just relaxed cause David was on his fishing trip and he got home Sunday afternoon.  Instead of going out for dinner I decided to make meatloaf. He loves that shit. I also made spaghetti. Strange, I know, but if I make it then put it away in the fridge and then have it for dinner two days later it's like WOW!!! It tastes fantastic. So that's how we have spaghetti  in our house. I think it gives all the herbs a chance to enhance it.

Shit I need to get done: I need to put the finishing touches to a book review for Friday's post.  I love this book, it's so cool. But you'll have to decide.


Adventures : Lately just to get out of the house I have been taking the puppies for car rides around the block. It just blows their little puppy minds that they get to go someplace. Yesterday I went to the bank to deposit some cash and I took them for the ride. They were in car ride heaven.

Lucy had her head head hanging out the window barking at everyone, Pebbles was riding shotgun with her head out the window, barely. She's such a little thing that I have to pick her up to get her into the car. Spunky had the other back window, slobbering all over the place. They got their bones from the bank teller and we went home. David had just gotten home for lunch and they were all over him. Probably trying to tell him about their adventure. Puppies are so easy to please.
