whew!

and as no blogg is truly complete without a picture-- junk in my car!

Today has been a verry interesting day. icey-cat got his first shot today and on Tuesday he'll be getting castrated! Hooray for catsrated kittens! lol. Also I filled my bare kitchen with NICE dishes and utensils. The kind of things i would never have been able to afford. I bout them from this very nice man who was moving out of his house. probly over 1,000 dollars in kitchen stuff. I got it all $50. INSANE! Thats why we pay tithing.... (: I mean i even have wisks, a turkey baster and a spice rack! yay! fun fun. today i invented annother recipe.

I call it: sweet chicken cheesy pasta!

put chicken breast in a shallow pan.

add 1/2 cup water.

sprinkle chicken with cinomon, creol seasoning, and parsly.

cook through then shred.

sprinkle a layer of cheese over chicken.

put cooked spaghetti noodles (you could use uncooked, but it might not taste very good...)over the chicken and cover with annother layer of cheese.

and Whala! YYUUUUM.

try it. very simple. very palatable.

i also mixed 2 parts chamomille tea with 1 part bluebery tea. also very good.

Fwd: home sweet house!

We got housing! Everybody say eehhh! Oooh! Eehhh oooh! Its beautiful. And the view out the guest bedroom is so perty. You'd never know you were in the desert. Unless of course, you knew...
A working stove! An oven a fridge! A humungus patio. They're spoiling me! We move in on monday. If you want the address shoot me an email. For obvious reasons I'm not going to post it here. Also icey is doing much better. I affectionatley call him icey-cat. And shaun not so affectionatly calls him stupid-cat. :)
shaun classed up also. He's now in the basic electronics course. Tootles!

Finally Settled

oh so theatrical! oh so candid.

Queen Dixie
I would like to start this post by informing you all that i am an extreemly savy and wise person. Like i said, like to -- but cant. you see, today i used dishsoap in the dishwasher becuase i forgot to buy diswasher deturgent.... yeah. We all know how that ended. :) mannaged to clean it up with no harm done. lol.
However, i can truthfully say that i am a MUCH cleaner person. if i keep this up i may become a neat freak. then i can add that to the list of things about me. lets look at that list shall we?

afraid of pennies
afraid of wasps
afraid of bees
afraid of snakes
afraid that one day ants will take over the universe. my house is proof of it..... they're penetrating the walls..... *eyeball twitch*
and now that i have lived with gail, we can happily add germaphobe.

But atleast i do the dishes and laundery and scrubing and .... you know all that stuff i am now compelled to do for fear of my health.......... lets just say shaun hasnt had to complain about the house being dirty.

now its more like, "Shaun?! cant you put your shoes IN the closet instead of HALFWAY IN the closet?" or, "Shaun?! cant you put your clothes IN the dirty hamper in stead of NEXT to it?"

lol. no joke. Shaun leaves his clothes NEXT to the dirty hamper. about two weeks ago he asked me if we even had one. i laughed so hard i peed a little.

also, i found an awesome kitty litter! it actually makes the room smell GOOD. seriously dixie ate the cat poop and her breath was FRESH! insane. shaun the informed me that i was, "never to let that dog lick me in the face again."
bye!

Day in the desert.

there's nothing like a piping hot cup of spiced chai to keep your day going. Even in the middle of the desert when its 100 degrees out and there's no ac, and your foots hurt so your in the living room instead of your bedroom where your fan is. Ahhh. Yes sir. Not sure why people drink coffee even though there's spiced chai. Perhaps they're uninformed. Well uninformed or otherwise misguided people who are still drinking coffee-- spiced chai is here! You can drink it hot, on the rocks, blended with ice, in a smoothie and at room tempurature. It amazing! Colosal even! Drink up!

Prayers

moving is within my grasp. I just have to find a place. The place I had arranged isn't going to work. I didn't have the money to stay at a motel so I'm staying with this woman temporarrily while shaun arranges other arrangements. (until I hunt down a place. funny how that works yeah?) unfortunatly shaun has had to be dropped into his comapny early and will miss a bunch of briefing. So that sucks. Pray for him.
the woman I'm staying with didn't tell me the condition the house was in. She needed my rent money to even make the place safe to live in. (busted windows and doors) I had to join the local gym because the shower doesn't work. And honestly if it did I don't think ide use it. Today (with my money) she was able to get the windows and doors fixed and the bathroom sinks and toilets to work. Can't drink the water though. I spent all yesterday and today cleaning my room, hallway, the kitchen. In each of these rooms I cleaned top to bottom. Scrubbed the floors walls cabinets (getting all the nastyness out of the countertop grouves) the base boards, doors, inside of the cabinets the pantry. I opened the fridge to clean it and almost passed out. It was gross. Needless to say it doesn't work so I didn't bother with it. I cleaned a lot outside too. Never did she lift a finger to help clean her own house. She did however mention that she woult have had to pay SOME ONE ELSE ten dollars an hour to clean. So because I need a place to stay and refuse to become diseased I cleaned. And cleaned. Now she also wants me to babysit her son while she's at work and to homeschool him and she tried to sell me her house. She says to me, "You can have it for fifty thousand less than its worth." I said think no thanks but in my head I'm going, alright. You have a deal. You owe me ten thousand dollars. Anyway I looked in the classifieds and found a bunch of places to call and visit. So keep me in your prayrs! Ps: daddy, does that dog picture look familiar?
