But still I’m just keeping it real still

Posted on by Shawshank

Good morning! It’s a little crisp out there this morning. It’s labour day, and my dad is waiting for a part that he can’t get until tomorrow, so he’s home. I’m going to assume that we’ll finish off his list of stuff to do, but after his afternoon nap. So it’s most of the day wasted, waiting.

But I have coffee now, and that is a good thing for sure. Other than the chores later today, not too much going on. I’m up, dressed, and my bed is made. Ready to go hahaha.

I was telling Crystal last night, that it was deadly quiet outside, other than the wind. It was like being in a zombie movie. TinyTown rolls up the sidewalks at 6pm on the dot. On Sunday’s, on a long weekend, nothing is open. It was creepy and very very quiet.

So since nothings happening, I suggest you grab your favourite book and hunker down for a little. Relax, y’all deserve it!

So watching TV, as one does, you see commercials. One caught my eye, and I thought to myself – he looks familiar. Like really familiar. But it’s been a while so I had to google it.

But we would eat Kraft Dinner.

Of course we would. We’d just eat more of it! And buy really expensive ketchups. That’s right, all the fanciest ketchups. Dijon ketchup!

Look at the fur coat he’s wearing (presumably not a real fur coat, that’s cruel).

Everyday I’m discovering something brand new

Good morning y’all! It’s a grey blustery day here in TinyTown. There’s wind advisories, and I believe Monday into Tuesday, there’s a frost advisory. Yes according to my weather app, TinyTown will be going below freezing over night. I think this winter will be the game of wether or not I can still handle cold winters. It’ll be the good ol ‘will I die or just freeze’. Lol

Only have a couple of things that I have to take care of today. Finish cleaning the chimney and heater vents. Oh, and I need to learn me some German as well. I’m currently in #3, I just want to stay in the top 10. So I can advance to the next league.

But right now, I have coffee. Coffee is good. I’ve also found the hallmark channel, and I’m currently enjoying “Flowershop Mystery: Dearly Depotted”. Brooke Shields is a terrible actress, but I can’t stop watching the show.

Happy Sunday!

Hast du etwas Zeit für mich

I was starting to get a little frustrated while doing the Acc. Case section of my German language classes on Duolingo, so I figured that I’d skip (for a little while), and move on to the Food section.

Why yes, yes it is. I’m finding this section a lot easier to figure out and apply.

I would liek some beer please!

I’m having fun again in the classes. The last section I just felt like I was slogging through the course, hoping that I’d finish it. I’d open Duolingo up each morning. Try the course, fail, and end up just practicing for a half hour and closing it.

Good morning y’all! Happy Saturday. I got up, dressed and had coffee brewing. Then decided to chance as its supposed to be almost 30c today. So I’m in shorts and my Patriots jersey. I have coffee in front of me, and I’m watching “Forged in Fire”. Good morning!

So, in about an hour, I’ll be heading a few streets over to go to a yard sale that is boasting; books, kitchen stuff, games, tools, etc. We’ll see if there’s any good books there.

In the THIS BELONGS IN A MUSEUM folder, I present to you a blast from the past. When floppy disks were all the rage. Gather around children, before flash-drives were a thing, you moved data around with floppy disks. I remember installing Windows NT via floppy. It wasn’t fun. I believe it was over 100 floppies.

I present to you; THE SONY MAVICA!

Behold it’s glory!
