Saturday and why isn't my Football game on?

So it's college football Saturday and my favorite team the Badgers are playing the Gophers. WI v MN. And is it on any of the many channels showing football games? No. We got Penn State v Nebraska instead. And most of the news on the half time shows has been about Penn State and the child sex scandal. They have found that coaches are human beings and fallible.

The airplanes have been taking off west to east for nearly 1 1/2 days today. The winds have changed and  the tower has to control them. It's cool because you don't usually get them roaring over your head while you are driving. Loves me my jets! They don't make 'em like these any more though.

I found a new game to play or rather sit back and watch it unfold on my Itouch. It's called Godville and you basically have a God/dess and hero. Fun. It's also online. It's fun. Mindless fun. Lord knows I need it right about now.

Rained last night and it's been sprinkling off and on today. The plants will like that. When we send in the rent for next month we are going to request that they clean the side yard of the house. It's a disaster and it's dangerous. We've lived here for 5 months and they promised it would be cleaned out. I can't do my garden if it's full of crap. Yes, this is how they left the side yard when we moved in. I'm tired of it, it's dangerous and it needs to be dealt with. Sooner than later.
Proof here:

When the husband gets home from San Diego I'm going to have him go with me to Costco. I need a couple of things and I just don't want to go by myself. We need to get some more of their Imodium brand. It's a lot cheaper there than it is at the drugstore. I also want to check prices on their Zantac clone. I found that I could buy it at Walmart 65 pills for $4, while Ralphs (Kroger) sells 24 for $8. Can we say RIPOFF!!!! Same exact pills. 

So I don't have much else to say today. Packers play the Vikings on Monday night. Yeah.

Peace and out.

Monday - this week needs to be better!

So we made it through the weekend, a little cold and wet but safe in our snug house. Decided not to burn the logs last night, we're saving them for Terra Nova and House tonight.

I watched part of the Mark Harmon movie set in MSP last night. Wonder if that's closer to his character than old Jethro is? But he's been married to Pam Dawber for a long time and that's a miracle in Hollywood. It's that Catholic upbringing I bet.

The ham bone is in the pot and will cook for an hour, I'll take the meat off and then I'll add the celery, carrots and yellow split peas. No green peas in this house, only yellow! Just at the very end I'll add some potato flakes to thicken the soup up. I like my pea soup thick and thicker. My kids love it and I have some fresh bread and/or crackers to go with. I might even have a salad on the side.

My hives have settled down. Last week they were horrible. It's stress related so now we need to deal with the stress. I was so swollen it wasn't funny. I wish I could do like the song says, Don't Worry Be Happy. 

So how 'bout those Packers, eh? Cheese heads rule, doncha know!

So until tomorrow, as sands flow through the hourglass, so flows the days of our lives. . . . . . 

bye.
