It has been a while since I last wrote you my dears but I have been rather busy what with getting the pool ready for summer and well just the barrage of endless duties summer seems to bring. The Hubs and I finally got the pool up for the summer and it was as easy as a breeze. Yep we did it right this year. Took us 4 days to fill it up but we did it right! Ran the water for 4 hours each day just so we could catch the best of the water softener. No iron water for me this year! No sir! I was not flocking the pool! That stuff is expensive too! Whew! Do not want to go there again. So once we got it filled with clean, clear water I just filled a jar and took it to Wanda the Pool Goddess. Yep just handed the jar to her and grunted. She grunted and beat on her chest a few times. Threw some stuff in a bag, ask for my money and pointed to the door. I came home and poured it all in the pool and BINGO instant pool! Life is soooo good!
So we enjoyed the heck out of the pool for a day or two and along came a fire. Spent one afternoon constantly scooping out embers and ash. Well that's it! On went the cover and now we wait. They tell us it might be later in the summer before it is completely out. Now that doesn't mean we don't get in the pool, cause I been getting in it just got to cover it back up at night when the smoke moves back over us.
All this smoke and stress has got my migraines acting up so much to my dismay I spent Sunday laid out on the couch waiting for death to take me or that ninja I hired to bust through the front door and chop my head off. Obviously neither happened. Damn ninja! Can't get good help anymore..... Well that's what I get for not replacing my last ninja. I guess I'll be conducting interviews later this week!
So after my little headache eased up a little I decided I would venture out and make a run for the Pharmacy. You know pick up a few things before it closed. Boy the traffic was unreal! And in case no one in Hampstead has noticed, it is 45MPH not 100! I am so sick and tired of being run over, flipped off and honked at for doing the speed limit! Arrggg!!! Come on people!!!!! Ok so imagine my surprise as I putter back home with a raging headache, fit to be tied too, just me and Baxter in the Mater car heading north back to the house, minding our own business. You got that image? Good....now imagine this. I glance in my rear view mirror and there appears an elderly man driving a Lincoln Town Car. Black in color, probably a 1999 to 2002 model. He's on my ASS folks. Blinking his lights the whole 9 yards! I'm thinking it's 45 MPH and I'm doing 49 in other words pushing the envelope! Finally he sees a break and passes me blowing my doors off! I notice he is approx 80 YEARS OLD!!!! I catch up to him at the next light and motion for him to roll down his window. "Sir," I say. "You are aware it is a 45mph area we are in, right?" Guess what? He FLIPS ME OFF and guns his engine! He fish tails down the road all hunched over the stearing wheel! The last I see of him he is still hauling ass with his left hand signal light blinking as he topped the hill.......and all yours truly can do is pick her jaw up off the floor....
I should have never left the house. I am fit to be tied, ready to kill Kill KILL. I cannot believe a little old shrivelled man just poked his middle finger up at me when I informed him he was in the wrong! Hell they probably have a silver alert out for him anyway....But at that very moment all I could see was that blinking light and what I wanted to do to him. I should have stayed at home....
It's days like yesterday that I really need to step back and say to myself, "Why did you fire your ninja in the first place????" So I guess I will bite the bullet and call this 1-888-Hire-A-Ninja In the mean time if you get a chance go to my face book and look under notes for my latest story!
Y'all be kind to each other and Good nite Betty!
