WEEELLLLL.....

another day, another layoff. OMG management promised we were finished last week, don't know if this person was on vacation or not and didn't learn of their elimination until yesterday. Scary times.....But i know we cannot afford to operate like we have been or in another month or 2 none of us will have a job!!! Still very scary.

Speaking of scary....hubs found a rattlesnake in the attic of his shop last night...at 9:00 pm he and s1 are out searching in the dark with flashlights for it so they could shoot it. Of course, chicken little stayed out of sight and in the house but peered out the window in case he fell off the ladder or was in case the snake struck him. I don't have no idea why the dogs didn't discover him before last night. I guess they've decided they better tighten up around here. So far each night they've discovered some varmit and treed it....i know the neighbors love us...
Saturday: rat in my crepe myrtle tree of course this was at 11:00 pm which I managed to sleep through. hey i need my beauty sleep.
Sunday: possum - he was not a happy critter either he hissed (guess that's what you call it that's what it sounded like to me)
Monday: snake - on the roof of the shop no less
Keep up the good work dawgs....treats are coming your way.

WOW... can't believe it is a new week already. At a family reunion this weekend I learned of the best chocolate ice cream receipe ever...it mimics a wendy's frosty. don't eat too much it's loaded with calories but oh my gosh is it ever good. That's why it's only good to make when there are a lot of people around to help you eat it.

Here's how:

16 ounces of cool whip
14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
1 gallon of chocolate milk

Pour condensed milk & cool whip into ice cream freezer pour chocolate milk to the fill line, stir the ingredients together, then turn on the machine and layer with ice & rock salt until frozen. YUM...

Tomorrow night is the concert in the parks, hopefully, i'll get off in time to go to that! A friend of ours is in a Motown band so we'll going to support him. We've had afternoon thunderstorms but hopefully they'll blow over or not happen.

Real Housewives of New Jersey

OMG....love this show. It passed OC as my fave. I thought I wanted the lip injections until I watched this show. Um...no thanks i'll pass. And what planet does Danielle live on? Seriously, how can you whine you need someone to pay for you and then have your plastic surgeon put on a spa party? Go figure, what trash she is, I cannot believe what she just said, hmmm...... maybe that is why the guy won't come around you perhaps he's looking for someone with morals.

Caroline is my fave on this one, Jill on NY and probably Jeanna on OC. I can't stomach Atlanta at all.

What I'm reading this week:

Wonderful, just like her other novels. I haven't found a book of hers yet that I don't like. Great Patio read.

The Red Box

I have discovered the most wonderful thing....The Red Box. Movies rent for $1 per night. Input your email address and you'll receive a confirmation of rental and return. You can even reserve movies online. A most perfect thing I do declare. We've had one in our wallyworld forever but I just looked at it on my weekly trip. I've noticed the lines growing longer and longer as I passed by each time. This weekend I decided to jump in and do it. Amazingly easy.... Maybe they'll add games soon. Man, wish I had thought of this idea.
