This kid is either the best scout in the world. or the next Jeffery Dahmer!!

Christmas was a grand success all around I believe. Robert & Fran sent some great munchies, and the most beautiful necklace I think I have ever seen! Mom and I think so much alike, we bought the same soaps to give out! They look like little rose buds! The ones I bought were white, and the ones mom got were multi color. I'M TURNING INTO MY MOTHER!!! Well, I could do worse. Diana got me the WHOLE collection of the Outlander books. I have listened to the books on tape, and am thrilled to get the books. All the munchies from R&F, and mom and dad are gone. I am still sipping on the mini bottle of Southern Comfort. I need to get back to mom and dads for more food before it is all gone.

well, as everyone knows , mom and dad are back at the big house, and have been relegated back to the slave quarters! lol This morning the temp was 27 at about 8:00. BRR! Good thing I had all my kids inside. we were all cozy warm.
I am on vacation, and no I am not going anywhere, however, I have spoken to Fran about visiting her in July. She said Robert might be gone to Japan, so the timing would be perfect! I could help Fran out with the baby while Robert is gone, and he can bring me back a nice silk robe. LOL! Fran said she would love to have me there. So I guess I'd better start planning now.

Trailer Trash...?

A few weeks ago while at work, a tooth that was apparently cracked, decided to give way! I made a dentist appointment, and it was confirmed I needed to have a crown put on that tooth. At the next appointment, I braced myself for the trays of goop they use to take impressions of the teeth. I thought I was doing rather well, I hadn't even gagged once! Until the last tray. I threw up on my dentist!!! I was mortified! Between bouts of gagging and throwing up, I kept saying how sorry I was to have gotten sick. I wonder if he will still call me when my crown is ready. lol. In the mean time I must tolerate the gold colored temporary crown.

As I had stated before, the square in Burnet is all decked out for Christmas. Here are a few photos.

Traffic was a bear on the way home! you would think marble falls was evacuating to burnet, and burnet was running to marble falls! Burnet square is lit up. I took pictures with my digital camera and will up load them tomorrow.

Never thought I'd see it! Gas at walmart is $1.59 a gallon! WOW!
Fed the fish in the tank by the well house on the way up the drive. I guess the dogs could hear the gate beeping open and closed, because I could hear them barking. Once I got to the house, I let ALL 4 dogs in, then out the front door to feed the fish in the other 2 tanks by the house. They all ran around like they had been locked up all day! lol
Now I am off to relax and not watch animal planet. I think I have had my fill already! Who'd a thought I'd be tired of it already?

Got up "early" around 8:00. Hey, it's early for me on an off day! Made coffee-yes daddy I unplugged the coffee pot-watched tv for a bit. Diana had called me Saturday and advised me Tyler's deer was ready. Made up a grocery list, got the stuff together mom had asked me to take to the library, and took off. Because I didn't write down directions to the processors, I had to call mom and dad in Tennessee! lol The processors was so far off the beaten path, I was wondering if "dueling banjo's" was gonna start playing! With the deer meat and myself safely back in the car, I headed for the library, dropped off the books in the manilla envelopes as instructed(See? I do as I am told! ok, sometimes), off to the post office and then HEB. All told I was gone for only about an hour. Now, to watch Animal Plante until I am sick of it!lol

Correction to last entry: out of all the channels on satellite tv, THERE IS NOTHING TO WATCH!!!!ARRRRGGHH!

slept till 11:00 today. the dogs kept waking me up last night. I finally booted them outside somewhere around 2:00 am. Weather is overcast but cool. Someone started shooting around noon. Could be from Matlacks. My puppies got very upset at the noise. They all (except Babe) were pacing and whining. I went to go let them in, and somehow, BORIS got onto the back porch! The only way he could have gotten on the porch was through the small doggie door daddy put in for Rascal! All the doors were shut, and the gate to Babe's area was closed! Boris is tall, but thin. I didn't think he was THAT thin! lol
Diana called and left me a voice mail yesterday to let me know the processor is done with Tyler's deer. I guess I'll have to get dressed tomorrow to pick it up. I'll make a swing by the post office and HEB. Mom and Dad left as much food here as I have at home.....none! lol.
I'm watching a good show called The Last Confederate Widow. I have seen it before, but a long time ago. How will I get along without satellite tv now that I have been so spoiled? :-)

good day at work today. We have started having a "greeter" yes, like walmart. different associates are scheduled to stand at the front door and greet customers, direct them to whatever they are looking for, have carts ready, etc... I really enjoy my time as greeter. No stress! I even get a lot of thank yous for helping people find what they want faster and without having to search for help.
I brought Boris up to "the big house" this evening. He paced for a while, then I brushed him out a bit, and now he is asleep in the master bathroom. Christmas is on the bed with her head on a pillow-yes daddy, I brought one of mine for her to lie on-and Hank is laying on my feet, keeping them toasty.
I think all the deer int the area know daddy is gone. When I left to go to work this morning, there was a large heard across the fence! I swear they were laughing!

hello every one! Mom and dad are on the road to Robert and Fran's place. I called them this morning to say good by to them again. I called them this evening and asked if they were there yet! Even daddy got a chuckle out of it.
Boris is back home. He was at the neighbors for the last few days. Daddy fixed the gate so Boris can't get his pointy nose between the gate and the post to wedge the gate open.I'm guessing he was after a female. I should get him fixed for running off! lol

I was walking back to the store after lunch, and I saw this monarch butterfly on this "pride of Barbados" plant. The flowers are beautiful to butterflies as well as humans I guess!

I miss my big dog!

Yesterday, 11-18-08, I took some poinsettias to mom and dads. Daddy told me that Boris wasn't in the yard. He has now been missing for 2 days. I'm scared he won't be coming home. Daddy said he went up and down the road calling and looking. I called a few neighbors and they said they would keep an eye out for him. I have been bringing Christmas and Hank inside at night and leaving the gate open just in case. :-(

I see the most interesting things going to and from work!

Christmas year 'round!

Christmas came into my life on or around the 18th of December a few years ago. She found me at the Burnet Post office. I had worked that day, and my homeward routine included stopping at the post office. I saw this cute little puppy. I picked her up about the time a couple of small children came running out the door of the post office. I asked them if they owned the pup. they said no. Well, I COULDN'T just LEAVE her there! I nearly ran over her with my car! I put her in the car, and took her to mom and dads house. They said she was cute, and asked what I was going to do with her. I already had Hank and Boris(who you will meet later on.) I SAID I was gonna find her a home. I did. Mine! :-)

Hello Everyone!
Mom suggested I start a Blog. "what am I gonna put on it? I went to work today?" She thinks everyone would like to see some of my photos. I figured I'd give it a shot.
