Happy Holidays

and all that.  I know I am a bit late for Christmas greetings but hey.. well I’m a busy woman.  In any case I hope you all had a fantastic holiday, I know I did.    Its actually a nice day today.. I think upper 40’s and very little wind which is nice for a change.  Tomorrow the wind is back (of course) so I am gonna take advantage this afternoon and play with the babies at a time I don’t have to risk turning into a popsicle.

I have been really busy getting organized for the New Year.  Cleaning out old files I don’t need, backing up others in preparation for the upcoming new computer YAY!!    Since the great crash of 2008 this one while trooping along, just cannot keep up with all the stuff I do. So instead of getting the lap top I need, I am going to replace the desktop and then after I move I will tackle the laptop.  Deviations to the plan must happen every once in a while - gotta love progress ya know?

Since we all know that I probably wont get back around to posting for the New Year which is a ridiculous what 2 days away?  How insane is that?  This year went by so fast I am surprised I am even remotely caught up.  But the Erin 2008 plan did go rather well when all is said and done, I’m pleased with the results of the year.   I do think 2009 is going to be outstanding and there are LOTS of changes in the air that you might wanna hang around for.

The best of wishes for the New Year… drop by and get nasty with me on New Years Eve…. I will be around if you are up for some phone sex or even have a confession or two to make. *wink*

Holy Crap its COLD

It was 50 degrees yesterday and uh…-6 today. Add in fun windchill and it was like -35. When I went out to feed animals this afternoon I had to bust through 2 inches of ice on every water tank I have. No wonder my arms feel like spaghetti at the moment. I guess I shouldn’t be so stubborn about dropping tank heaters but really its gonna be back almost 40 by the end of the week. But yes I will probably suck it up, find some money and pick up another heater for the big tank this week I actually need 2 more heaters but we shall see. In any case I came back inside wearing ice clothes The water that had splashed on me pretty much froze instantly and uh I had to thaw some before I could change. Did I mention how much I love winter? Are ya gettin the sarcasm? I am laying it on pretty thick here.

Hey did you see the cool new feature on my website? Yep, as promised I have set up a confessional where you can spill your guts in a quirky little way.  Its fun and semi not serious but kinda different ya know?

I am starting to get excited about the upcoming year. As always I am full of plans and ideas some will pan out, some wont but life is all about the adventure isn’t it?  You can’t succeed if you don’t try.

Anyway… I need to thaw out some more.  Maybe find some socks.  Yeah socks.   Tear yourself away from the soft glow of electric sex in the window long enough to come and have some fun with me.  If you have NO idea what that means… man I suggest you find out.  *laughs*

Later!

Its Official

Winter has arrived.  Yes, I woke up to snow this morning, its been snowing all day and not supposed to stop till tomorrow night.  But that doesn’t really make it winter does it?  Hell no.  The first official viewing of A Christmas Story this year has been seen.  Now this is the ultimate holiday movie and I don’t care who you are, if you cannot recite many of the prominent catch phrases, you must watch it again.  It is the law.

It occurs to me for the first time as well,  that the guy from the pick up artist got many of his outfit ideas from this movie.  I swear, watch closely next time and you will see exactly what I mean.  I mean, who wouldn’t want to wear Flick’s goggles?  Of course they are a chick magnet.

Ok once again I am guilty of fussing with this blog over a couple of days, what can I say?  I am easily distracted ya know.  Sheesh.  So I am gonna wrap this now, I mean - how can you top A Christmas Story anyway?    Ok I am off to see if I can find a water tank heater somewhere on sale, damn dog chewed the cords off the old ones *sigh*

Later taters

Happy Friday

I am all proud of myself.  Not only is the propane tank almost full *yay heat!!*  but the garage is officially cleaned and packed up.  All I have left out there to do is sort through halters/lead ropes and see what I am going to need to get for the trip which isn’t going to be as bad as I thought.  Its amazing what happens when you go through the crap that you have.  I bought a new pair of boots that will hopefully last me out the winter ( hey what can I say.. I am hard on clothes and boots) and I dropped off 3 huge bags of clothes at the Salvation Army this morning and uh yeah.. lots of em still had tags LOL   My closet is tons lighter though and I am starting to get my stuff together for toys for tots.  I have bags of toys that I have been picking up here and there all year and storing in my guest bedroom.  I sure as hell don’t want to move them so they need to be dropped off as soon as they open drop off stations.  Everything that is out.. means less I gotta pack in the end.   I feel that the more prepared I am for the move, the more the universe will pull together and make sure everything falls into line.  It might be corny but hey the universe works in mysterious ways, you just have to embrace it.

I cleaned all the crap off my amazon wish list as well.   Lots of stuff on there I had already bought, don’t need anymore or was wondering what exactly I was thinking when I added it LOL.  I did add a snuggly heating blanket though.  I am determined to be somewhat warm this winter. 

My next project is to back up all the excess stuff on my computer and get it off my hard drive in preparation for my new computer system.  I decided that I am upgrading my desktop before I buy a laptop, since I wont be traveling so much until after I move so I wont need to be portable.  I thought about starting my real estate classes here online over the winter but I think honestly I need to focus on financing the move and getting it in order (like uh finding a place to live) before I jump ahead to a new career.  

What?  No don’t panic LOL  I have been with Bay City Blues over 5 years now and I am not going anywhere, anytime soon.  Unless they boot my ass out anyway LOL  I think in this economy a girl needs to pay attention to her finances a bit more and create more than one income stream if you are going to survive.  Especially when uh… your idea of a nice present to yourself can easily run 10k, not counting feed, upkeep bruises and maintenance.  Hey man .. what can I say??  I like what I like. *grin*

Ok I’m gonna stop babbling and get to work.  Empires to conquer and all that.  Oh yeah and I gotta find an air filter for my truck.. The fun just never ends!

*sighs*

Well I guess it can no longer be avoided now can it?  I woke up to ….. snow.  *sighs*  Only about 3-4″ or so but I guess it means that winter is really gonna show up and I am thinking I should have bought that new pair of snow muck boots when I saw them a month ago.  Duct tape just isn’t as strong as it used to be.. ya know?   But the good news is that the snow should be gone as quickly as it arrived and aside from wind.. the next 10 days looks pretty decent weather wise.

Have you started Christmas shopping yet?  I am trying hard not to think about it. as if I could block it from showing up if I don’t think about it huh?   Reality is I have already gotten my Christmas present to myself.. and she is just adorable.  Of course she is trying to figure out what the hell all that cold white stuff is, but it was worse where she came from so I did her a favor by bringing her here.

Did you see the new “Featured Girl of the Day” special that Georgia is posting on Bay City?  Guess who is your Saturday special huh?  Yeah Buddy… ALL day tomorrow.. 24 hours of Erin sale.  How much does that rock??  Buy 20 minutes and get 5 minutes FREE and who couldn’t use 5 more minutes with me huh?  Damn skippy.

I’m hiding from the cold today.. so if you are interesting in generating some heat… come get me

*lix*

Me

ok

I want the new George Forman 360 grill   crap.  its 152 bucks  for a GRILL  what the hell man

So are you Happy? Sad? Pissed off?

Personally I couldn’t be happier.  I think this country is RIPE for change and Obama is the guy to get the ball rolling in the right direction.   Plus I am thrilled that FINALLY, people are overlooking the stupid race card for the most part and looking at what is best for the country.   *jump off my political soapbox*  Ok really I hate talking politics cuz they just piss everyone off eventually but regardless I am happy this morning.

We were supposed to get snow last night, so I did all my running around yesterday.  Paid the rent, grocery shopped etc.  Wake up this morning.  No snow.  Lots of fun wind (ugh) and its colder of course.  I guess winter is determined to arrive eventually but it can wait as long as it wants as far as I am concerned.  I’m being wussy this year I know LOL  7 more months and I am over snow!  Yay Me.

So here I am with a clean house, too windy to go outside and work  and nothing but time on my hands  I even caught up on a couple weeks of WWHM.  Hmmm what is a girl to do now?  I bet you can think of something huh?  If you do, I will be hanging in the chat room or on IM.. so look me up- you know you wanna.  Hell there is even a kick ass phone sex special going on courtesy of Georgia.  How can you turn down 5 free minutes?

Did you

Vote today?   I did.  Remember.. if you don’t vote.. ya cant bitch about who wins :)

Playing Doctor

Man I have been playing doctor in a not so good way since Monday and MAN am I tired of it.   I get to do a blood work up in a few weeks and then hopefully I am done for a while and I can focus on other things like playing with you LOL

See now doesn’t that give you something to think about??  Man I hope so. 

Halloween is going to be pretty quiet this year I think.  I really live way to far out to get trick or treaters but just far enough out to attract people looking for trouble.  I am actually thinking of getting a shot gun or something, maybe I will after I move.  Its on my tentative plans list.  As is investing in a dog breed.  Not like just getting a dog, but investing in a breed to show and well- breed.  I tend to like big dogs- Giant Breeds if you will Mastiffs, Wolfhounds, Danes etc but the investment is pretty considerable 1500 ish so I am putting it on the tentative after I move list LOL

Ok.. not much that is newsworthy today.. so I am gonna go back to work.  Catch me in the chat room and take advantage oftodays special!

Erin

Chilly

So here I am typing in mittens already this year LOL  But I am determined to keep warm as opposed to last year when I froze my ass off.  Hopefully by the end of the month I will have the propane tank filled and be good to go for a month or two, the game plan is to get ahead of the propane guys instead of behind them - I’m tired of playing catch up with stuff in my life.

Yeah ok.. so much for that.  I started this post 2 days ago LOL  My master plan is so good that even though I loaded the washer and added soap I uh.. forgot to turn it on, so I am sitting here in socks waiting for my jeans to wash and dry.  Man I dunno where my head is sometimes.  So me being me.. I made a list of things to do with the weekend.  Starting with cleaning out the freezer and the pantry.  I need to start stocking up with stuff for the winter since sometimes you can’t get out when you need to.  Man I am gonna be a domestic goddess this weekend *yawn*  I know huh?  So someone is just gonna have to come and rescue me from dishpan hands.

Ok my ass is cold. I need to find a blanket or something.  Catch up with me in the chat room later
