About Me

My photo
Trenton, Ohio, United States
I am a big kid in an older body. I refuse to grow "old", although some would say different. I drive too fast, laugh too loud, and annoy the hell out of my boss...hee hee. I love my job! Nontraditional female. I love tools, drove a truck, have a job planning/organizing maintenance of a bottle line for a "major brewer", don't wear makeup or dresses, but I am still a girl.

Still waiting for rain.....

We had some last week, but are supposed to get thunder boomies and such tonite. I love thunder boomies. But then I love blizzards too...so go figure.

Anyway, it is very windy...hot (mid 80's)...and the clouds are a piling!! I am soooooo glad it is Friday. This was a long week. And parts of it were not very much fun. The better parts were I got new carpet installed in the hallway and the guest bedroom. Love it. I discovered the home remedy of the eucalyptus oil on my pillow WORKS!!!!! I am not doing the choking, coughing, really ugly stuff in the morning any more. And my room smells delicious!!! The oil doesn't stain and I drift off to sleep in a cloud of wonderful scent. Love it, too.

The bad part was one of my favorite people on my team got seriously injured at work on Wednesday. He is doing real well, thank the Lord, and is already back to work doing light duty things. He went to see a plastic surgeon today to see if they will be able to reduce the scarring. His left thumb is a mess. I won't go into details....just suffice it to say it was very messy and very bad. But he is expected to recover fully with full use and no nerve or tendon damage. Very, very lucky.

I need to spend a bit this weekend painting baseboards so I can put the guest room back together. The mattress and box spring are in the front foyer leaning up against the wall. Not exactly the best decoration for just inside the front door. But I didn't want to put the room back together only to move everything again to paint. The walls are done...just the woodwork needs finished. I am never going to be done painting........

I need to get the garage sale stuff figured out too. Next weekend...and all &%#*&#@ breaks loose. In some ways I really don't like the Trenton Garage Sale....but man, can you get rid of "stuff" in a hurry!!!! I plan on pricing the stuff so it does NOT come back in the house. It will go to the curb before it comes back in here.

Soooooo.....to all the Mommies out there....Happy Mother's Day!!! You deserve it. It is the hardest job in the world. And the best...so I am told. Later.......
