What a nice surprise :)

I DID have a few very nice comments on my blog the last two days. Somehow I missed them at first this morning, and then had another nice comment when I logged on tonight.

Thank you all :)

I understand that not everyone thinks like me (thankgodforsmallfavors..you, dear reader, should be thrilled at that!) And, like my dear ole Pop used to say, "If everyone were alike, it would be a boring f**king world." (Yes, Dad said the "F" word on occasion too.)

Ok, let's see - what happened to me today? Work...work...and more work. Like an idiot I volunteered to do a major display for an upcoming show - in three weeks. So today I sorted through my file cabinets and all the scam information I have (yeah me! I sorted it all out just a month or so ago so I CAN find things!) I have information on work-at-home scams, foreign lottery scams, fake invoicing, advanced fee loan scams, charity scams, sweepstakes scams, selling online scams (with counterfeit checks even!) AND...the PRECIOUS PEARL OF WISDOM! That one just amazes me. I am going to get a nice little display case and spotlight for it.

The Precious Pearl of Wisdom was scotch taped to a letter from an organization. You are supposed to hold it in your hand (its so little you will lose it if not careful) and pray. Then, you return the pearl in the envelope supplied (post NOT prepaid) along with $25 and ALL OF YOUR WISHES WILL COME TRUE!

I just can't believe I haven't mailed it and my $25 back in yet! I could have everything I've ever wanted and dreamed about! I could share with my family and friends! I could be RICH!

(Please note, that was scarcasm there.)

I have all the designs in my head, and will do some work on my trusty old PSP9 for it. Lot's of typing ahead. Thankgod I haven't broken any fingernails lately because when I do I can't type worth a darn. (Yes, I am a girly girl in that respect, I have long nails - real ones.)

But, work can wait for the night. I put in my ten hours today. I put in a minimum of ten hours there everyday during the week actually. I will hit good old Wal-Mart tomorrow after work to get some foam board (I know, I have seen some of the blogs and postings on forums about the hatred some have for Wal-Mart, but geesh, you can't beat the prices - especially when you are a poor old lady like me.)

(Feeling sorry for me yet? No? Good!)

The roommate (that's what I call him now) is off playing golf tonight. His son is (where else?) in his room. So, tonights my night off! No cooking! No laundry! I've already talked to my boy - twice. Short conversations both, but he will call me later tonight. He called last night in a foul mood. He uses me for his sounding board, and its ok. I told him as long as he throws in an occassional "I love you Mom" I can handle it. He's not happy with the girlfriend, or his Dad. His attorney sent him 28 pages of questions that the insurance company needs answered (Someday I'll tell about the explosion and how it changed my son's life.) Didn't get his vacation check (he got it today - once again, thankgodforsmallfavors!). So, he called just to have someone to let it all out too. I had him laughing by the end of the conversation, so it ended well.

Well, that's it for now. Will probably post again later tonight. I've been making notes of all the man things my roommate says and does - for my book. Will probably sell a million copies because I know a lot of women will probably relate to the stories. (What's that old joke about men being lined up when God was handing out brains, and the roomie thought he said trains, and told God "I'll pass on this one.")

Men...gotta love em.
