Daytona that is LOL 10 days WOO HOO!!!!! This weekend is the Budweiser Shootout, so I need to remember to set the DVR to record it. I SOOOOOO can't wait!
Checked with the local pet store on their vaccination clinic. It would be $36 each cat to get rabies, 5 way and leukemia shots. We'd also have to lay our hands on carriers as they don't want loose kitties or even kitties on a leash, esp since there are dogs there. We'll know more if we can get them in after we see about paying property taxes.
Hoping we can go down to Lewiston/Clarkston this weekend for a shop. We may have to wait until the tax returns get deposited, most likely in a week-week and a half. With luck then we can go down for a serious shop. I wouldn't mind getting enough to have 2 months worth of entrees in the freezer.
Really didn't feel like cooking last night, so we hit Winco and picked up one of their 12 piece chicken dinners, so dinner tonight will be chicken leftovers (if there is any leftover LOL Hubby may have had a hankering for cold chicken for lunch).
After dinner last night we popped next door to B's place to help her decide where to move furniture and hang christmas lights in the room she is turning into a craft studio (it is the master bedroom of the trailer, since she now has the whole place to herself she's moving things around). We brought over two of the book shelves we were getting rid of that she can use in her new studeo. I'll haul the pieces for the third one over sometime this weekend. Now I just gotta figure out what to do with the other two, they are in pretty sad condition, but still usable.
Our friend Pam had her first photo show. Check it out at her blog. She has a site showing off some of her works, Aspects Photography, she does REALLY good work.
Perusing the news, under the "SOMEONE needs a slap upside the head" file:
First-grader suspended for sex harassment. Whatever school official decided to suspend the kid on sexual harrasment charges needs to meet with the business end of a cricket bat. This has gone beyond ridiculus and into the "idiots are definately running our schools" land. Kids (esp 6 year olds) will grab and touch each other there isn't anything sexual about it, just gently tell the kid it isn't allowed to put one's hands inside another persons waistband and leave it at that.
Let's see, what else. Brittany explaining she only wanted to protect her baby, so she drives off with the kid on her lap, someone in the passenger seat and no one strapped in. Yup, real bright. And they let these people breed SIGH!! So let's see the logic. You see photographers near by snapping pics, so you hit the gas and speed off. Personally, I would have rolled up the windows, locked my doors after sending out the bodyguard to kindly ask the photogs to respect my space and then PUT THE BABY IN THE CAR SEAT and then drive away. At the very least, hand the kid off to the passanger for a few minutes to get someplace where you can stop and properly strap the kid in.
Been reading various articles about the Grammys, looks like I didn't miss much, tho I would have like to have seen the country & western portions of it.
On the seriously local front, the U is getting a new football coach after the one we had decided to hire on with the Rams. Actually, we are getting an old coach, Dennis Erickson, who apparently is going to be getting $200,000+ a year. I want $200,000+ a year, this whole system is SOOO screwed up, esp since he is apparently going to score $1.5 mil over the 5 year contract when adding in all the bonus goodies. Double and triple SIGH!!!!!!! Yeah, I got a raise, close to 6%, barely enough to almost make a small step forward to even think of actually not being in debt and maybe even have a savings account again (and a glimmer of a chance of actually retiring someday), instead of having to use every penny and then some to pay the bills every month. I win the lottery, the University better not even THINK about asking for money from me. I might consider buying the library some DVDs for the collection, but that is about it.
I'm giving serious consideration of taking the aforementioned cricket bat and hunting down the idiots at the Lewiston Tribune who thought putting a very large pic of a thing with way too many legs in the paper. I was flipping thru at break and luckily I was able to turn the page and NOT spear the student sitting across the way with the stick the paper was on. They had a story on the hobo spider, which has made it's home on the Palouse and how aggressive and poisonous they are. Thank you very much, now I've got to find a replacement for WD40 (it's no longer flammable) for torching those icky things and convince hubby I can torch them and not burn down the house. Now I'm going to be a nervous wreck, I was finally getting better in regards to the too many legged things, this has set me back. Hey, press guys, can you PLEASE put something on the front page warning of things like snake or too many legged thing pics on the other pages. There's enough of us with those phobias out here who would appreciate it.
