MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS

Bah, fucking humbug!...Ok...there I said it.

It's not even Christmas yet, and I'm already sick of it..think it was a mistake putting the Christmas tree up so early...and having to re wrap all the packages because Annie keeps ripping the paper off them is getting a little old..But the good news is that David came over and put my desk together and now I really feel like a growdup..My dining room table looks nice with my refurnished mismatched chairs..I sorta kinda straightened up the book case that I put up so all the books wouldn't end up on the floor or in boxes in the closet and shed..After I sorted the dining room up, Annie had to come in and smell everything..If I bring anything into the house she has to sniff it..not just a little sniff..she sniffs every square inch of it..If I go to town she has to come out and smell the truck from one end to the other,she's especially fond of the exhaust pipe..It's like she finds out where I went and what I did by sniffed the truck out..she is one weird cat..

Tonight is the winter solstice..the shortest day of the year..Dallas is having a celebration ...They have done this for the last 15 years...I think this is a pretty big deal among the pagan folk..and while I am a pagan..I don't adhere to any brand..It's just me and the Goddess..

We had the apartment complexes Christmas party and Margaret said grace...at the end when everyone said amen..I said 'a woman'...17 gray heads snapped around at me...Sometimes I just can't help myself...I also said "Thank you Goddess."...Margaret laughed..she knows me well enough by now that I just like to fuck with people...When I told her I was so pissed about the Cowboys loss that the only think I posted on my blog was fuckity fuck fuck fuck..she laughed and said:"I would have just said 'oh shoot'..." So far nothing I have said or done has caused her to flinch, raise an eyebrow or act upset over...But guess she didn't get to be 76 without learning a few things.

I have to go to the House of Satan tonight to get all the stuff for Christmas stuff I have to make..I never put things off till the last minute like I have this year...Have to make 2 pecan pies..one for the Christmas party at David and x-wifes house and the one I make every year for the Bratprince's family..I was going to have a 'get together' here at the apt and make mulled wine, apple cider and home made chocolate with home made marshmallows..but the idea of all those people(even though they are my dearest friends and I love them to death) in my house was starting to freak me out..So instead I am going to make the homemade cocoa and marshmallows and put them in little cellophane bags and put in a Christmas mug...and take them along with their gifts..That way they get the cocoa/marshmallows and I have my peace..Plus now I don't have to clean the house again...

Babs will be down Christmas Day and be moved into her apt. by Thursday...How cool is that?...I think we still have some vacancies in case anyone wants to move here also...My selling point is 'it's 1957 here and we like it that way'..

I will do the annual Christmas letters to Santa from the kids in West tomorrow..bad spelling and all...

The Cowboys play Carolina tomorrow night on NFL channel..which means I have to go to a bar to see the game..I may go to the old Capital (now Jack and Diane's) as they have terrific bbq and that might help take the sting out of another loss...nah, all the bbq in the world couldn't help ....sigh*..

The little cartoons are care of Kalibitch, one of my new readers and fast becoming a favorite..you have to check her out..

Going to go finish reading my book..Nancy the new librarian ordered a bunch of new books and I have been reading like a mother fucker...Think I've read 16 books in the past 10 days..Yellowdog and new books...now that's my idea of heaven....

DAM NEWS AND LIFE IN WEST.......

I haven't been around much lately...Babs came down for the weekend..and is staying till Tuesday morning...all we did this weekend was eat, watch TV and uh...sleep...Today is my final day as the fill in Librarian..I will go in on a volunteer basis and will host the Halloween party but my days as the go to Granny are over...Will miss it..but know it was just a matter of time before I went off on someone..or slipped and said something a lot worse then 'smart ass'....Plus Nancy will do a good job and I don't mind going up there and helping her out..Plus there are plenty of things for me to do around here..let things slide while filling in up there..need to do laundry, go back to the House of Satan and get them to redo my glasses..I tried..but that damn line is just to far down and it's driving me nuts..

My Aunt Leola called me..they are going to have the family reunion on Nov. 11th... want to go and got a phone call from one of my cousins last night and he wanted to make sure I was going..He lives in Arkansas and said he wasn't going to drive all that way if I wasn't going to be there..So now I need to call some of my other cousins and see if they are going...we are all so anti-social..we want to see each other but none of us want to get out of the house to do it..

I took some pumpkins up to the library and had the Builders Club kids carve them..and let me tell you..those are 2 of the uglies pumpkins you have ever seen..will have to take some pictures..I have one more but I want to carve it ..I love carving pumpkins..I want to do one so that it looks like it is throwing up it's guts..with the innards hanging out of its mouth.

These are some bits that I found interesting from the Dallas Morning News...

"It depends on how it's done.It depends on the circumstances.It depends on who does it."Rudy Giuliani, GOP presidential candidate,on whether waterboarding constitutes torture..

I bet if I grabbed his bald headed Yankee ass and tossed him in a tub full of water and sat my fat ass on his head for 4-5 minutes, he'd know right off the bat it was torture..Stupid asshole..We do torturing...and it will come back on us as they will do that and worse to our soldiers..

Thousands of protesters call for Iraq war's end..

Thousands of people called for a swift end to the war in Iraq as they marched downtown Saturday, chanting and carrying signs that read:"Wall Street Gets Rich, Iraqis and GI's die."and Drop Tuition Not Bombs." The protest was the largest in a series taking place in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other U.S.

cities, organizers said.Organizers of the event estimated 30,000 people participated in San Francisco.

Personally I think we all should just make our own sign...NO MORE WAR.. and carry it where ever we go...like part of your apparel...hat coat, sign...yup..I'm ready..

NASA TO SEARCH ARACHIVES FOR 1965 UFO INCIDENT

NASA has agreed to search it's archives once again for documents on a 1965 UFO incident in Pennsylvania, a step the space agency fought in federal court. The government has refused to open its files about what, if anything, moved across the sky and crashed in the woods near Kecksburg, Pa., 40 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.The Air Force's explanation for the unidentified flying object; a meteor or meteors.

Uh....yeah..that's the ticket..

Chertoff Blasts Fake Press Event...

I'm sure you all have read or heard about this already...where this schmuck from FEMA gave a press conference to:FEMA employees acting as reporters...The agency arranged to have FEMA employees play the part of reporters at the event Tuesday and question Vice Adm.Harvey Johnson, the deputy director.

"I think it was one of the dumbest and most inappropriate things I've seen since I've been in government," Michael Chertoff said Saturday...(Can't be any dumber than any one of the speeches that Bush gives on any day of the week...'doing a good job brownie.'and 'children's are learning.'

That's what you get when you hire your buddies to do a job they are not qualified for ..dip shits.

I mentioned to Babs today that it's been a long long time since I have done one of my Bush Bashing rants...or republicans in general..so all I have to do is wait for one of them to fuck up..and I'm on his ass like a duck on a junebug.

Until then...I'm going to be at the House of Satan kicking some ass...

.......WHAT WAS MY WORLD LIKE THIS WEEK.......

Life is good here in West, By Goddess, Texas....I would bitch about the cold and our 'snow flurries' but Ol Lady in Canada, BYG and Nit Wit In Ohio, Carina and Lauren in Michigan keep besting my weather bitching...It got down to 18 degrees here and Ol Lady topped it by it being 18 below there..fuck...So I will tell you that it is in the 60's and a little breezy..The birds are about to eat me out of house and home...I went through a 20 lb bag of birdseed in less than 4 days...I have more birds to feed here and will stop feeding them on the porch as it is now covered with bird crap...Plus the wind is blowing the seed in the house every time I open the door...
Friday I got a lovely package from Alabama...a t-shirt dyed in Alabama dirt...a 'DIRT T-SHIRT'...how cool is that? It was of course sent to me from our Alabama Mama, Junebugg..It got me interested in the concept of dying shirts in dirt and so I googled it and damn, there is a place on line where you can get dirt dyed t-shirts from Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama and several other states...I have the address but forgot to write it down so I could give it to you all, but if you email me I will give it to you..or if I remember, I will post it in the comment section..Anyhow the t-shirt I have is a brown color but they also come in an Alabama clay color ...they are cool...Now I have proof that I am older than dirt..
My daughter Maryjo Is going to Europe..She is leaving the 22nd and coming back March 18th...Going to England, Ireland, Paris, and Amsterdam...good for her...Hope she has a wonderful trip...
I received 2 phone calls from kinfolk this morning...my second cousin Frank is coming down next weekend with wife and 3 kids and wanted to know about a motel to stay in, I told him about the Czech Inn, but told him, my couch makes into a queen size and we can take the pillows off and they the kids can bunk on the floor..They had all been down for our cousins wedding (he and wife are going to Paris for honeymoon, how cool is that..)and everyone missed me not being there..of course my son and his wife were there, which confused the kinfolk...why would Thom come and not bring his mother..?...ask Thom I said..Just when I think things are kinda sorta getting back to normal, I realize it was being done with smoke and mirrors..Anyhow, they are coming down and it really will be great to see them...Then I talked to my pistol packing Aunt Leola...oh, you would love my Aunt..if it wasn't for her I don't think I would be around here doing what I do...she rescued me when I was about 6 months old and took me from Oklahoma where my sister and I had been left in a motel while our mother was out entertaining the troops on leave..My sister was sent to live with our mother's family and Aunt Leola took me to Houston, where I lived till I was 4 years old...So I am very close to my 'Wowo.'..Which is what we called her when we were little as we couldn't say Leola..She and I want to have the reunion again here in West...I had it here one year and it was more fun...had a great time and they also got to enjoy Westfest...So hopefully we will have it here this year...if so ...........man......will I have a great post then..ha..
What else..oh yes, Maryjo's friend in North California sent her a ticket to go see Michael Franti and Spearhead in San Francisco..gets all the comp treatment and gets to go back stage..meet and greet all the big wigs..she's pretty pumped over it..expect her to call today and tell me how it went..I have never heard of this band before but I guess they are known for doing benefits for world peace and other causes...They are sorta reggae, hip hop, soul, rock, etc.????????? Hell, I don't know..they play music..check em out..
My neighbor(can't remember her name..the 75 year old walker)..came over yesterday morning, the postman put my mail in her box...I invited her in and we had a nice talk...She's a sweety...she goes to Church at the First Baptist Church every Sunday and prays to God out loud...I was tempted to tell her I pray out loud to the Goddess, but figured..why rock the boat, I have plenty of time to shock her out of her drawers...besides she will be someone to walk with and don't need to run her off first thing..She is a reader too, so gave her a stack of books to read..she was so excited..I had put out a bunch of books in the laundry room with a note saying read and bring back so others can read them too, and they are doing that..She said she read 3 of them and is waiting for the others to make the rounds..
She and several others from the apartments go to the Senior Center(right by the Library) for lunch every day..it cost $1.50 for lunch and she says it's pretty good...I might try it and see how I like it...Be nice to make some new friends.........
Brawhahahahahahahahahahah! Yeah, fucking right...Like I said, until one of the 6 people that are supposed to carry my ass to the grave croaks, I see no need for making new friends..plus I have you guys to pick from...right?..
I have to go now...NASCAR is on...I have to watch and root for Matt for Babs...oh cool, Nicolas Cage just told them to 'Start Your Engines.'....I would love to see Babs be able to do that..How cool would that be...

fuckme till my engine purrs....
