i love classic cars. i have always enjoyed looking at pictures and the internet has been a great source for this hobby of mine. my favorites include, but are not limited to, 66 chevelle SS, 67 chevelle SS, Rally nova, ford galaxie of the late 60s, challengers, chargers, i actually luv’em all. as you can see, i am partial to GM. anyone got link to some great pix sites? one day i will own one of these cars. been a dream for a long time. one day…..one day.    have a good tuesday! poet

the walls are bare and makes the space in the living room and kitchen seem empty. we are taking everything down so the kids can wash the walls, and then we can paint next week. it is going to e so beautiful when it is all done. one track mind of late.

i used to view the glass as half empty, everything was empty because i was. but now, everything is full to overflowing. my career is going well, our home is full of laughter (and cats). life is good.

can’t think of much else right now. i was around to all of your pages last night. enjoy the rest of the weekend, and stay safe!   poet.

so, i am feeling a bit better. work from 1115a-8p. holiday weekend, i’m sure it will be busy. lovely. i’m tired. been bloghopping, as usual, leaving my mark most everywhere i go. my link list is long, and i get side tracked easily (your link lists)

got the first coat of paint on in the bathroom. it looks really nice, and will look even better with the second coat. we chose well the colour. tomorrow, the kids are going to wash walls in the kitchen, halls, and living room. then on our vacation, we will paint those rooms. when it gets all done, i will post some pictures. it is gonna look fan-freakin-tastic! if i do say so myself, and i will.

the cats are all fine. bud, at 17, is our oldest, and he sleeps alot. he does play with gary, our youngest, which is really kinda cool. need to post more pix of them too.

the lawn is growing, but there are alot of weeds in one section. must have been wherever they got the top soil. pfffft. cooch grass (sp). if i cared, i would get a little gardening fork out (if i had one), and dig up every last livin’ one of them. but it does look green from the curb, and curb appeal is sort of important to me. it will be more so next year, when our friend, R, comes over to help create our yard haven.

stay safe and enjoy the long weekend, if it is one, in your neck of the blogosphere.  poet

must be something in the air. felt really woozy at work tuesday. came home after my 45 minute lunch smoke break. went straight to bed. k had a hard time getting me awake 2.5 hrs later. ate something, and back to bed for the night. i felt gross yesterday so we went to the ER and saw nice dr. handsome hanson, and now i am on antibiotics. also got a note to be off work until sept 2. that works for me.  i feel a wee tiny bit better this afternoon, but not enough to be too far away from my bed. coughing alot, and that really hurts my chest.  the antibiotic will fix me up in a few days.
k got 2 heavy boxes from her parents yesterday. full of recipe books, and crafting stuff, knitting and crochetting books. even some of her old stuff from her school years. pretty neat to read through her report cards.  with each book removed from the boxes, her eyes grew wide like she just found a cheque for a million $$$. thanks mom and dad for sending that stuff. 

k has been home since yesterday too. she is feeling ‘off’. head not clear. a bit of a running nose. damn these late summer colds and bugs. pffffffft.   hope you are all feeling ok out there in blogland. take care my faithful readers friends.                           poet

MEDICAL ALERT Pfizer Corp. announced today that VIAGRA will soon be available in liquid form and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer.  It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one.  Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names “cocktails,” “highballs,” and just a good old fashioned “stiff drink.” Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of…yep, you guessed it…..”MOUNT & DO.”

yippee yahoo! i got my scanner to work. now if only i could read spanish or portugese?

yes i have done it again. downloaded all manner of messenger thingys. as you might have seen on the side bar, there is Trillian. it is a multiple personality message system. (for me and all my personalities,,,,bwa haa haa). for those of you who do the IM thingy, i have now got msn messenger, yahoo messenger, icq, and aol. as well, for those who might be aware, i created a chatbox through bravenet. i think that might be cool. everyone needs a hobby.

thanks for all the great comments here. it is nice to be part of the blogasphere.  have a good thursday, my faithful readers  friends. poet
