Ok, the test sort of worked..... we didn't get the results we were looking for but at least now she has a link to the site that I've givin her when it first started.
It's cold outside dad says after taking out the dog's for the last time of the day.
and I'm very happy with the site now .....if I could only get gary to tell me how he did his 100 things about himself...well maybe another day....
goodnight and have pleasent dreams and good thought for tomorrow

Ok this is a test. This is only a test of the site meter counter and to see if Erica gets this site to her address and other fun stuff... Now both Erica and dad are looking over my shoulder making me very nervous(thank's for being a spell checker, Erica). Haha....Any way, There is no work for us to do this week so I asked Erica to help me figure out this site and get some new stuff on it (which you will see yeah!!!!) I of course asked her two days ago and were getting to it now. But it's better than waiting more time ....There I am looking that gift horse in the mouth! Also a big shout out to Gary who sent me the instructions on how to install the weatherpixie! She's up and running.... Thank you both.....
Everything is ok over here. It's raining and were waiting on some thunder too,but Im just happy with the rain and cloudyness. Update on the garden, we should'nt plant anything until Good Friday and then we'll be planting Broccoli, Caulliflower, Cuckumbers,Lettuce,Tomatoes,Onions, Lavander,Sage,Tyme,Dill,Snapdragons,Sunflowers, and some others to be gotten on Monday. I can't wait! At this moment the mouth of the south is barking at me to get my attention but I am ignoring her to do this.... She just wants to be petted and I'm not petting anyone right now.
Oh listen to the rain......I love tin roofs.....
Ok off to see what happens with the sites.....
happy thought and sweet nothings

Good morning! Okay it's really early I know, especially for me. But I moved to the country and get up with the roosters... Go figure! Oh boy not a lot done this weekend as usual but it's life I guess. We finished what's left of the boards on Saturday, Missing more parts but after mom and dad come home we'll be leaving to work at Elk. Saturday mom and I went to the Clayton homes place just to look around. Oh am I in love! They have this four bedroom house there. Sweet! I'm going to live in the bathroom...I swear! It was so big but then so was the master bedroom. And the closet....To die for.... I have my oun front room (it's one of the houses with two living areas on a sitting room and one a living room), Then the 'party room'. It has the kitchen Erica wants badly; cabenet space and a island in the middle of the room!! Plenty of room to move around and a dining room. Mom finds a dinning room sooo important....I don't know why but I guess it is. We eat in front of the tube and probably will in any house we buy. My dad last night learned how to use the cd burner we have. He made this awesome picture display of our family of what pictures we had here, I don't think he sould have used some pictures but who am I to complain. He's into Geneology recently and thinks he found an uncle and his grandparents. The strange part is he thinks this uncle lived in New Port Richey the same tine we did!!! Unfortunatley he has died and he can't find anymore information on this guy. See my dad lost his dad when he was 2 and 1/2 and Grandpa Laurence was 56, I think. My aunt Becky doesnt remember much about his dad and of course my Grandmother Rhoda is gone too. But while alive she never really had anything to do with us and we just settled in having 1 Grandma (on my moms side) and her family as relatives. So I didnt know I had cousins and stuff from my dad's side of the family until late in life. Family means alot to me don't get me wrong. Sometimes I would like to find out about them and then other times I just dont care......Who do I have to share it with? I don't have kids and my sister and I are the last of the Gray's on his side once we die thats it, his side dies out....I don't see me adopting someone to carry one the name and Erica doesn't seem interested in having a baby (and she's the only one who can now) so where does it go? It ends after us. Isn't that sad? Another chapter in someones family history ends just because of selfishness? And apparently this appathy for having children runs deep in his family. He has two step- brothers who didnt have children either. What a situation. Enough dragging deppressing things into the picture.
Computer class tonight and I still have to take a test.....Did I study? I'm sure you know the answer to that one don't you.....(wink wink nudge nudge)
So off to study and other fun things today .....
Here's thinking about money and not getting any........

Alright, I have to complain again. (my sister loves this blog site because now I don't complain to her!) I don't remember if I told you that we are missing parts on this order. Well we are, and were missing 215 of them. It's one part an led, but its a pain in the ass to put on with the terminal block in place (guess who puts both the terminal block and led on?) But were going to do it as soon as the stupid thing gets in. And were going to do it at work! I'm not making two trips there just to oick up a part that has been there since Thursday(I know it) And dive back home to put it on then drive back there to turn it in! Uh-huh no way!!! We still have to finish them but thats going to be today. We didn't want to work yesterday and Tuesday mom hurt her back somehow and she laid in bed sleeping.
My family and I saw the planet alignment yesterday and it was AWESOME! I so love the stars and planets and stuff like that. I would never want to got up and see it personally because of my fear of heights but looking at it from the ground is just fine with me! My landlord down the hill from us is building something in his yard and its driving me crazy to find out what it is. I could just go down and ask but then I would have to leave the house and I'm getting to the point what is the use of leaving the house. An I have to quit that. I hate being in the house but there is really nothing to do when you don't have enough gas in the car to go anywhere, and you are surrounded by chickens. Peeyou.......
all of my dogs are going little crazy from the cold, and now that's its warming up it takes me almost an hour to take them out. All my dogs consist of (from oldest to youngest) Midknight(muffin)13 Who doesn't go on a leash because she doesn't leave the yard. Natasha(sissy's dog)7 Who's queen of the fruit loops right now, Sarah(mom's dog)7 the akita someone's throw away is our gain got her while living at sue's trailer, Samantha(mouth of the south)7 Got her at sue's trailer also but she's 'special' she has epilepsy and a few brain cells short, Heidi(my other baby)3 She's just physco like mommy, Rough cut(daddy's girl totally)3 She's a mix of boxer and pit bull scariest thing to look at, then last but not least the boy, tiger(dope on a rope) 2 some one moved from the street next to ours and didn't take their dog with them he wandered into mom's yard and we just took him. He lived in a cage until we could get him fixed and then he became Erica's. We have to cats here to but one is leaving and soon before I strangle it..it cries and cries and cries makes me crazy, Chillupa is my boy who decided to invite himself in one cold December night and has been with us since, he's a tabby but he's cute anyway. And one bird a dove that we've had for 14 years, who shoulf by rights be dead because doves only live I captivity for 6 years or so we were told. All of these pets were strays but two, Muffin and natasha. We were given them by co-workers. So that's why it takes me an hour to take them out and they all are segregated because the jap(it's a loving endearment not a racial slur) wont get along with anyone and heidi who wont either. So we five gates all over the house to cage the rage to coin a phrase. You gotta love me for my pets if ya don't, oh well, it's you that's missing out. What a life!!!
Ok there it is for both of my readers to enjoy was a bit long winded but that's all I really have to talk about until I come home to Fla, haha.....
think happy thoughts and pleasurable moments this weekend.....

Holy cow! I hope I am not doing this again. But apparently I am. To make this short and sweet (I have an appointment to get to) We have been steadily working these past three weeks. We got another order for 960's 300 of them. Were already done 100 and going to turn them in tomorrow. Just 200 to go and we'll finish that tomorrow also. It only took us 3 hours to do one hundred, and we started late, like 2 pm today!!!! Erica and mom went to pick up the boards because they are never ready on Mondays anymore. See elk is on a 4 day work week with Fridays off. Our work invoices are released on Fridays get the picture? But hay, Im not punching the dog down Im happy happy happy that were even working!!! We did get paid Monday and it is officially all gone, We have enough for gas and that's it. We went through 300$. But the electric too 200 of it so there you go!!
I haven t the chance to get to this sooner but I didn't get on the computer all weekend. I have to share it with three other people (Erica mom and dad) So and dad gets it after ten o'clock to talk with his Canadian friend Chuck. Everything I tried to get on it either Erica or mom would get on it so ....Im the loser in the end.
Well time to sign off and get to the appointment.
Thinking happy thought and hoping you are doing the same

Good morning! What a day I had yesterday. Ok back up just a second to say we got boards Tuesday very late almost 3 pm late. So we came home and said to each other we need to get paid more then we are on Monday lets crank out as much as we can and get more invoices out (that's how we get paid by invoices the more you do the more you get paid.). We all agreed and started our boards. By 10:30 pm I was wasted. I could not keep my eyes open any longer but I had gotten 70 boards done. These boards are relatively easy so that was nothing. Our goal was for 130 (100 to turn in and release one invoice the 30 to release the 100). I told my sister to set her alarm (I sleep in the front room on a recliner) and I would finish and we'd leave before 8 am. Didn't happen quite that way but it got done. I finished 50 boards in 2 hours and off we went. Got to work to find them busy little peoples working hard. The guy who only works two days a week was there so things may be looking up. We dropped off our boards and lingered for a few moments to chat (this company is great you can come in and chat while they are working but then we were there for a purpose.) Found out about a letter we received and found out we'd be getting another but this one didn't really pertain to us. The first one did. Complained bout models not being returned. Which we are a major offender in that category. ;)
So everything went great and we spent the rest of the day sleeping. Way tired but before we left they were starting to quality control our boards and they should have finished everything by her station before the left which put our invoices on the payrollers desk. Wednesday is our cut off to get paid, at the end of the day if no invoices for you are in no paycheck on Monday. A bad deal if you ask me but money is money no matter how you get paid. We have 100 hundred left to do and then turn in on Monday. Here's some real happy news. We have more boards coming on Monday!! We haven't worked this steady in so long! Let's hope it lasts longer than these two weeks.
Well that was my exciting day and it doesn't look to good for anything being done today because it raining out and we never work in the rain. To hard to stay awake!!!
Did I mention I love the rain. Especially out here the mountains get all misty and its just beautiful. One of these days were getting one of those throw away cameras Im taking pictures of everything. I think I've missed the snow though! Well that just makes me thing I'll have to come back up here for snow on vacation or something.
happy thoughts!!

To anyone who's reading this Im frustrated as all get out! This stupid blog thing doesn't work or at least I don't think it does. Or maybe its just the operator! (I vote for the third.) I want it to look like gary's but it keeps looking different. Im just going to give up and send sue and Gary the site and forget it. No one else sees it anyway. I could send it to Dee, my other friend but I don't know if she would read it or not. We have a strange relationship. Im very hertrosexual so not to infer anything. We get along infamously. I've known this girl for over 15 years!(God, how time flies huh?) We hang out constantly (when I was in FL), doing things with Kris (her son) and the like. Then after about three months or more, she wants nothing to do with me, we don't call each other we don't see each other and it happens all the time. I think it has something to do with me. But that could be my paranoia settling in for a long cold winter.....
I last talked to her about two weeks ago about her roommate, what a story there, and now nothing again. I guess it's good she's sending me e-mail jokes again but it makes me crazy. Oh wait, that's not too far I'm already crazy....hehe.
I'm the worst friend in the world to. This very close friend lost her father in Oct last year and I don't know how to tell her how sorry I am that's she's all alone. I mean she has friends around her at work but her real good friends are in New Jersey, and North Carolina, both of us. So she had this 'adventure' this weekend and I was so happy for her. I mean insanely happy for her . She's another one I never know where I stand. I've known her just as long . I think I met Dee frirst and then sue, But not before Caron. What a wacky world I walked into when I first walked into the pirate's Den. But that's another story.
peace and love.......

Ok so now I know what Gary was saying about the blog losing his writings. I started this at like 8 Am and have to do it over again. What a world!
Well, it was raining at 8 when I started this but it has quit. I want it o rain all day and make my mood happier. Did I mention that I love it when it rains. Everything smells new and around here in chicken country that's a good thing. Well here's some good news. Ok let me start from the beginning. I am a work at home vendor for an electronics company. They manufacture alarm systems and 'smart home' equipotent. 'Smart home' is the name for the system that lets you come home to find your lights on already and stuff started from the turn of your house key or the touch of your keypad on your alarm system. Whew.
So I am a part of a small crew who does the outside building of these systems. I assemble Electronic components onto a board then the rest of the crew at work actually solders them, programs them and ships them out to different buyers. I don't know too much on that end Im just concerned with my end building. So enough said there.
So I call my boss, Tammy and she tells me I have boards to build. I've been hoping that we would have boards because its been slower than molasses. We've (my sister ansd I do this) been sporadically working on this for two years and we know that between Dec. And Apr are the slowest months to work for them. You know no new buildings and all because we get snow and bad weather here. And it never fails that by around this time we are laid off and someone on the crew has to be laid off also. Well that happened already but I don't think It will happen to us because last year when my sister worked there she was the one who got laid off and everyone lost the vendor position at the same time. So keep your fingers crossed that we not going anywhere until we move. Well we have boards from last week we have to turn in and get the new boards. Lets hope there are more boards to do than last week but look at me Im counting my blessings before they are passed out. That's me looking a gift horse in the mouth and will probably get bit for it later on.
Well well see what happens....
happy thoughts all day long

Oh I hate my life right now. I miss going to bars and hanging out with new and old (no offence meant) friends. I read a new friends blog and he's in a band who played out last night. While I didn't get to bed until after 11pm, I still hate living in the country. I also hate living away from Florida. I want to be home!!! Now. Anyway he said is gig went good and I'm very happy for him. As for Sue I still don't know what happened with her famous 'rock star' friend who came to hang with her this weekend. Sleeping still? I doubt it she gets up early even on her days off. Well I am working in the 'garden today before it rains. Have to clean out the sod balls (huhuh she said balls...) and start with a clean bed. I don't see why our landlord just plays it and makes rows (which he did for us and is going to row it as soon as he does his) but he had grass growing in his patch of garden.. But I'm listening to mom so I have no choice. So it's off to the garden to ready the bed for tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, onions and corn yum!
I cant believe it, I move to the country and think Im a farmer....(giggling)
ok so have a good day while my wrist falls off from the pain.

ok this is it. im going to tell my story life and other oddities in my life. a day by day journal if you will. I hope that in these pages I can enlighten and entertain.
Ok so today my sister and I and mother finished underneith the porch of the housse that we are renting in North Carolina. We started out as an outdoor porch but are turning it into a enclosed front porch or room if the landlord chooses. we finished by replacing the insulation and placing slats over the plastic barrier. It wasnt to hard but being under the porch was rough with the porch at a angle and uncomfortable. but we finished it. Now we have to finish the molding around the windows and it will look like a real room. next will be insulating the inside and it can withstand winter and summer weather. we hope to finish it before the summer and it gets too hot.
a quick bio for all of you who dont know me.....
im 38 going on 25
im into ghosts and the study of ghostsi live with my parents tempolarily
moving back to fla before year is out
im an 80's hair band freak and have always been
