September Blues....
The Labor Day weekend was weird. I think maybe we had a good day in there some where. It was windy as hell, I know that....and cloudy....and cold. I'm glad it's over and now we may as well get on to Fall so we can get to Halloween, my favorite time of the year!...and then to Christmas, my other favorite time of the year!....then tax season and I get to work and get checks....and then before ya know it, summer will be here again...YAHOO!
But no sense in getting ahead of myself...it's still only September 8.
I watched the Jerry Lewis Telethon like I do every year, and like every year I always try and stay up as long as I can to watch it all night long. This year, I did pretty good. I was wide awake at 3 a.m. and going strong at 4 a.m. and still perky and alert at 5 a.m.....then it was after 6:00 and I'm still up and now I'm getting worried cause if I don't get some sleep I'll feel like shit the next day. So by after 6:30 I decided I better get to bed but I left my TV on but couldn't sleep, so I finally turned off the TV and probably fell asleep by 7 a.m. Then I woke up and looked at the clock thinking it was probably noon and it was only 9:00! Oh well, 2 hours of sleep is better than nothing. So I got up, turned on the TV, made myself a cup of coffee and continued to watch the MDA telethon.
By afternoon, hubby and I decided to drive down to my youngest son's new house and see the progress they have been making. I had some king-size pillows I wanted to take down anyway for him. So I took a break from the TV and we went. Wow, I was impressed with what he had done. He tore out all the carpet and put in new, but mainly he had ceramic tile laid in the foyer, living/dining are and kitchen and 1/2 bath. It looks really sharp. He has a great room in the back of the house where he put in new carpet. And new carpet up the stairs, the hall and all 4 bedrooms. He got some major deals on the carpet...and he was able to use the padding that was already there. And his cousin installed the tile. So cost-wise he did real good. The one huge tall wall by the fireplace in the great room still has to be finished painted. He did what he could reach, but the damn ceilings in that room must be 14 feet high so he has to get a scaffold or someone to finish it. He still needs to put in new molding around the tile and then he can start moving stuff in and finish the painting in the bathrooms later. I'll have to post some pics once I get them downloaded.
Tomorrow we are going down to the DTE office again for the third f'ng time and take the paperwork in. It's so freakin' stupid. Most of what they ask on the forms don't even apply to our case....so I just wrote a long explanation and they can figure it out. This is NOT an ID theft...so "No, we did not file a police report...we do not plan on filing a police report....No, we are not planning on prosecuting anybody...No, we don't have any paperwork proving fraud on someone's part,....No, our credit cards were not stolen....No, our bank accounts were not compromised....No, No, No to most of their stupid questions."
I was planning on leaving for Caseville by tomorrow but guess not now...so I'm planning on leaving by Monday. Then hubby will come up shortly cause the following Saturday is our 39th wedding anniversary! We are planning on going to the Kinde Polka Fest unless it turns out to be too cold and then we will go to the Eagles 50's 60's dance they will be having on the same day.....OR we could go to the Harley Born To Be Wild festival in Elkton and party with the bikers in the beer tent!! (Guess which one we WON'T be doing) Though the beer tent in Elkton would probably be more fun than the polka tent in Kinde. I know, cause my girlfriend and I use to go to the Harley festival every year. Once it fell on our anniversary like this year and I left him home and still went.....BAD BAD GIRL (slapping myself silly!)!! Well, this year, I'll be polka-ing with the old polish guys I guess....OH, forgot that's my husband...
