One Day Off,,,,,WooHooooo !!

Hey it's me again !!! Yeah it's been awhile,but I haven't forgotten my password yet.

I was off last night,,,yeah I know I'm off a little all the time, but I'm talking work.

It's 04:30,,,Ug! I missed break time !!

They've been keeping me busy at work, with all the overtime I can stand. 

And I'm going to get all of it I can, before it runs out.

I'm kind of on a crusade to pay my bills off... Now if I could just get the rest of the things in my life to get together and co-operate.It's like my air conditioner found out I'm working more, 

so he decides to stop working. Urg !

And Yes !! it's freakin hot !! 100*+ yesterday. It was hot enough yesterday, The Queen and I visited the Princess's pool in the backyard.I must say,,it was a nice relief. So nice in fact,,we visited it twice.

HeHeHe,,I won't mention getting The Princess all wet when she wasn't planning on joining us, the first time.

But we got a new a/c on the way and it will probably be here this week, the sooner the better !!

I really don't have a lot to say,,,seems like all I been doing is working and sleeping,

working and sleeping.

20 more days till Josh and Lauren git hitched !!
They make a great looking couple.

And yes,,,I'm proud of them.

With all the business closings and layoffs going on around us, I feel lucky to have a job, 

and a good job at that !! (if there is such a thing)

Of course it would be nice to win the lottery and not have to work ;o)

I'd just stay home and roll around in my money all day.

We're hiring !!  I know that alot of people would feel like they won the lottery if they had this job.

So good luck if you try for it.

I notice they're accepting applications until the 28th,,so I can plan on OT for a month longer than that, by the time the background checks and health and drug tests are concluded,,,then there will be some training,,,blah,blah,blah.

Dern,,it's 06:19 and hhhhhot.Not as hot as the air that came out of the kitchen cabinet when I opened the door to get me a cup for my coffee,,,but still pretty dern warm.

Yep,,it's cooler outside than in the house :(

Kinda makes me want to go set on the bench in walmart and people watch. 

Ahhh,,dontcha feel better about yourself now ?

Welp,,,I gotta scoot,,,got to get some things done and get some rest before work tonight *Heavy Sigh*.

Thanks to Cousin Donna.....

Here's something you don't hear about anymore...

BY COLLEEN B. HUBERT

IN THAT LONG AGO TIME WHEN THINGS WERE SAVED,
WHEN ROADS WERE GRAVELED AND BARRELS WERE STAVED,
WHEN WORN-OUT CLOTHING WAS USED AS RAGS,
AND THERE WERE NO PLASTIC WRAP OR BAGS,
AND THE WELL AND THE PUMP WERE WAY OUT BACK,
A VERSITILE ITEM, WAS THE FLOUR SACK.

PILLSBURY'S BEST, MOTHER'S AND GOLD MEDAL, TOO
STAMPED THEIR NAMES PROUDLY IN PURPLE AND BLUE.

THE STRING SEWN ON TOP WAS PULLED AND KEPT;
THE FLOUR EMPTIED AND SPILLS WERE SWEPT.
THE BAG WAS FOLDED AND STORED IN A SACK
THAT DURABLE, PRACTICAL FLOUR SACK.

THE SACK COULD BE FILLED WITH FEATHERS AND DOWN,
FOR A PILLOW, OR T'WOULD MAKE A NICE SLEEPING GOWN.
IT COULD CARRY A BOOK AND BE A SCHOOL BAG,
OR BECOME A MAIL SACK SLUNG OVER A NAG.
IT MADE A VERY CONVENIENT PACK,
THAT ADAPTABLE, COTTON FLOUR SACK.

BLEACHED AND SEWN, IT WAS DUTIFULLY WORN
AS BIBS, DIAPERS, OR KERCHIEF ADORNED.
IT WAS MADE INTO SKIRTS, BLOUSES AND SLIPS.
AND MOM BRAIDED RUGS FROM ONE HUNDRED STRIPS
SHE MADE RUFFLED CURTAINS FOR THE HOUSE OR SHACK,
FROM THAT HUMBLE BUT TREASURED FLOUR SACK!

AS A STRAINER FOR MILK OR APPLE JUICE,
TO WAVE MEN IN, IT WAS A VERY GOOD USE,
AS A SLING FOR A SPRAINED WRIST OR A BREAK,
TO HELP MOTHER ROLL UP A JELLY CAKE,
AS A WINDOW SHADE OR TO STUFF A CRACK,
WE USED A STURDY, COMMON FLOUR SACK!

AS DISH TOWELS, EMBROIDERED OR NOT,
THEY COVERED UP DOUGH, HELPED PASS PANS SO HOT,
TIED UP DISHES FOR NEIGHBORS IN NEED,
AND FOR MEN OUT IN THE FIELD TO SEED.
THEY DRIED DISHES FROM PAN, NOT RACK
THAT ABSORBENT, HANDY FLOUR SACK!

WE POLISHED AND CLEANED STOVE AND TABLE,
SCOURED AND SCRUBBED FROM CELLAR TO GABLE,
WE DUSTED THE BUREAU AND OAK BED POST,
MADE COSTUMES FOR OCTOBER (A SCARY GHOST)
AND A PARACHUTE FOR A CAT NAMED JACK.
FROM THAT LOWLY, USEFUL OLD FLOUR SACK!

SO NOW MY FRIENDS, WHEN THEY ASK YOU
AS CURIOUS YOUNGSTERS OFTEN DO,
"BEFORE PLASTIC WRAP, ELMERS GLUE
AND PAPER TOWELS, WHAT DID YOU DO?"
TELL THEM LOUDLY AND WITH PRIDE DON'T LACK,
"GRANDMOTHER HAD THAT WONDERFUL FLOUR SACK!"

All these girls' dresses were made from flour sacks...


Have a great week,,,try and stay cool,,,,ummmm or warm,,,

depending on what part of the world you're on I guess.
