What did you accomplish today?

katsarecool · 01-09-2011, 10:44 PM

I got ready for the winter storm which is now here. 4 inches and still snow is falling. 1/2 of ice/sleet expected to begin after midnight. 1/2 of ice can take out power lines so we could be in for a big headache. The interstates in and around Atlanta are parking lots as I type. I am not planning on going anywere except to sprinkle icemelt on the sidewalk. I have not seen this much snow here since 1993!

I wanted to turn in for the night..... but my brain is still on overload....this isn't much of an accomplishment....but darn it, I finally FIGURED it out! LOL

first I started with fixing TV remote with my pocket knife, nail file, a little baking soda & vinegar (just 'cuz of corroded batteries)

Then I spent a half hour trying to figure out how to get Blade's MONSTER BEAST of a TV to recognize the DVD machine WAS attached and playing! Grrrrrr!! it would have helped if the last owner had saved the User Manual.
As the World goes round, this is a very small accomplishment, especially since we may be loosing power later..... but darn it, I wanted to watch Avatar and have some "down time" after a long day.

I've learned there is little I can't fix without my pocket knife and nail file!!

Ask Blade how I fixed the wiring harness on the new dryer and the CAT5 for the internet and phone. Those were fun days and fun accomplishments.... 'cuz things ACTUALLY WORKED when I got done! Those were "HELL YEAH" moments!

How was I supposed to know that? Under that glass top is a Woody Woodpecker cup and bowl from your "boyhood", squirrel salt and pepper shakers, and cute, dainty Peach Luster Fireking milk and creamer cups that you brought home 'cuz you thought they look orange (PEACH Luster, honey bun, PEACH Luster)....and a lady like me doesn't go searching through your DRAWERS!! Plus, I can't help it that your older azz went to bed at "O-dark-30" and didn't tell me that your Momma saved the manual!

Affectionately Signed,
Don't mess with Sweet when she's running on 3 hours sleep and High Test coffee!

I wasn't gonna go there about your Momma....cuz I adore her. Yeah, she keeps everything, but can she find it when she wants it?
To keep with the spirit of the thread....
This morning I accomplished making YOUR breakfast 'cuz you were so nice to walk Tashi over to the "special spot" to pee where there's no snow.... then you let her RUN out and act like a WILD NUTT while her Momma Bear stood on the porch and tried to call her back.
Yep, I made your breakfast...and you go pickin' on me. I see how it is! I may or may not see a dog house and cedar shavings in your future.

Kenna · 01-10-2011, 09:18 AM

PS.....
I still don't go searching through YOUR drawers.

That's your Momma's job when she comes to visit just 'cuz she's gonna have a panic attack without her special Thanksgiving serving spoon. You should be thanking me, instead of pickin' on me, for SAVING you from mortal embarrassment the other day.
