HANDY MAN

-
I LOVE having a handy man as a hubby……

Not only did Joe take the time yesterday to fix my truck.. that I so.. nicely misshaped.. he also managed to fix our outside garage light that hasn’t been working for say.. a few months… adding a new fangled sensor light… HE IS SOO AWESOME!

So I am out the door this am to head to Y.. and its still very dark out.. and so I make it down our walkway and to the driveway and SHAZAAMMM!!!!.
........10,000 VOLTS OF LIGHT go screaming through my skull.. HOLY SH_T… I CANNOT see a thing.. I stagger around ...hands up in air trying to protect face.. stumble.. grrr.. I think my optic nerves are fried!!!!!… ARRRGG…

I run back inside to tell Joe.. blink .. blink… OMG I think the light is a bit much… it BEAMS ALL THE WAY INTO THE cul-de-sac…!!! and its going to wake the neighbors… [even though they are like an acre away from us]…and yikees…

And so he mumbles something about it only staying on for 10 or was that 30 seconds???? OH … yeah.. ok… back outside I go… I am still seeing spots… and its pitch black out.. and HELLO???!!! I make it to the truck and SHAZAAM!!!!!!!

10,000 SCREAMING LIGHT PARTICLE S pierce my skull again.. …..just tell them your name and serial number and they will stop!!!

I find the truck I cant imagine how this is safer than not having a light… and I think I definitely need an aspirin. AND do I sound ungrateful!??

Side note: Joe is awesome.. I am lucky to have him and he really does great handy man work. Even if he wont let me fix anything…

WE ARE HERE.. In Sunny COLD Florida... and I think everyone who lives in Florida resides in OCALA... The traffic here put my morning commute in PA to shame...I pictured Horse Farms.. countryside.. and flowers.. not even close... so far.. the words .. PHILLY... seem to be more accurate.. will see what tomorrow brings.. I took some more notes on drive from Savannah to Ocala... (thats me in the pic) ..not much to report.. other than the 45 minutes it took at Quiznos to get our lunch ...OH...and that I almost ran over an older guy with my truck at the Florida Welcome Center. .. I mean I felt REALLY bad... it was an honest mistake..!!... thank goodness his wife caught him....and that he didn't smack my truck with his cane... DONT ASK...poor old man.. jeez us... I am going to H-ll for sure... Went to the Walmart and got us a couple throw away sweatshirts.. figured that would be the best option for tomorrow's freeze start and the subsequent heat finish... only problem is that I have ...

6 Days At the Fair AND that folks… is a wrap… two years ago I set out on a quest to finish my   bachelor’s   degree.  Whether it was spurred by the intense desire to know   I could…   or some   quack   hiccup in the brain, I   emptied   my bank account and signed up for night school.   It kind of almost killed me... working full time and trying to manage homework, family and my vintage clothing second job.. I must of been out of my mind.   But sometimes.. the craziest things happen.. in the verge of an almost complete breakdown during 4th quarter madness.... I  somehow  managed to sign up   for a race..... that I wouldn’t even tell my husband I signed up for until a few months before it happened.  I mean how could I tell anyone that I plan to run for 6 days???   A 6 DAY RACE........ HOW utterly...FANTASTIC.....!!!!  T hose words and the thump of excitement in my hear...

Vermont Snowshoe Race 2009

GREAT time this past weekend... my SUFFER BUDDY....... “Denise” and I drove the 6+ hours up to Vermont in order to run up and down mountains on little tiny snowshoes.... And to think we missed out on the beautiful 70 degree weekend in PA to do so. It was my second year for this race and Denise’s first.... and I was anxiously looking forward to showing Denise the fun that I had experienced last year... I told her about the vast amounts of snow, the quaint Vermont chalets with little white lights, the charming General Stores that sell real Vermont Syrup in super nifty maple leaf bottles, the moose crossing signs, and of course the really narrow pitch black mountain roads. .. (where Da snow?) I call Denise my "Suffer Buddy" because she is the only person I know who I have managed to convince to do all the crazy shit I do....to go out and buy snowshoes even though we hardly get any snow in our part of PA.. to ride 6+ hours in a car and then PAY to be able to run up and down mou...
