Confessions of a Madwoman
Now I am to undergo a battery of test on brain~heart~ and of course sleep apnea. My doctor suggested an inpatient hospital stay to which I declined. What to do with the farmette and what about time off work ? Now I wish I had done so. Lack of sleep has made it near impossible for me to drive to work or the gazillion test scheduled me. Now in addition to my existing sleep disorder there is the added anxiety that I will suffocate and die in my sleep. You my poor dearies also suffer the ill effects of it as I forge meaningless random blog posts at ungodly hours of the day and night 2ndary to exhaustion and pure fear of the thing I so desperately crave~SLEEP! Emotional support welcomed here.

Rambling
Today I put on my old walking shoes and walked 3 miles. Viv's fantastic progress has me feeling guilty about my own excess poundage. Then I spent over an hour picking up all the toys and cardboard boxes the dogs had drug outside for play. What a mess the yard was. Living like a HillBilly.
I took lots of photos of the dogs....well mostly the puppy.Monday, November 2, 2009

Boo babes
Boo ghoulfriends! A fun day for those who enjoy having the crap scared outta them! This morning I'll watch "the Haunting" on TCM. An oldie but nonetheless intense thriller & one of my favs.
In the evening my son~ myself & some friends will take an evening stroll through the village cemetery which dates back to the mid 1800's. It is amazing how very young people passed on back then and very few laid to rest there are over the age of 60.
Well Dearies ~I hope you all have a fun & hair raising eve and that no bats poop on your head.

Mrs.BOOvier'
For now I am a bit of a slug & feeling under the weather. My mouth is full of ulcers and my sinuses like the relentless dull thick pounding of a locomotive going by. I have been occupying my time lying on the couch surviving on softly congealed farina and inhaling Vicks Vapor-rub. I must admit however~ I did push myself to drop into the Thrift store yesterday and found a colorful yo-yo quilt just the right size to sweeten my kitchen table. SMILE!
My brother & I at the victrola ~circa 1963.

Puppy Shots~the Musical !
Riley got her first set of puppy shots this morning and if you didn't know any better you'd think it were touch 'n' go. She was rather dramatic and played the victim all the way home. Once home she curled up in her lil' bed and has been snoozing. Ah the life of Riley. I made up these lame lyrics and sang to her all the way home. It's the only thing that kept her quiet and now I can't stop singing it.
Disclaimer: Please excuse the lowly vocals. I can't sing well on a good day but it is even harder to sing while drinking a Margarita and trying to control ones bladder while bending over and working a camera. Welcome to my life.You may want to turn your volume off.

Spooky Creepy Happy Fun
A Thug and his Dish.
Gangsters with guns. Flappers and Coppers. A Mayor and a Private Detective ~the Night Club Singer~ the Newsie~ the Speakeasy Owner. Someone is about to be murdered.
My son~Jem~ and his friends had their Halloween party Saturday night so they would be free to spend the 31st at a haunt in Pittsburgh. It was a murder mystery party set in a 1930's Speakeasy and everyone came dressed for the occasion. Big band records from the era were cranked out on the old record player and I was amazed at how much effort the young 'ins put into it. It was a real "whodunnit" and each person knew their character and their traits as a personality profile of who they were to portray was attached to their invitation. They really had to solve the mystery and no one knew until the end who the murderer was. Such clever kids.
I've been doing a bit of brushing up here in preparation for the onset of cold and even had my winter tires put on today.Thursday, October 15, 2009
