#1 My fire alarms won’t quit going off today and they’re
driving me insane.
#2 I’ve decided I’m going to live in Churchill, MT. Sure,
it’s quaint- quiet- has spectacular views, but it’s the crazy sh*t that I’m
always driving past that makes me want to live there in a bad way. The
absolutely ridiculous situations, like passing a guy on a bicycle pulling a
little trailer… with a cooler on it… with a dog’s head sticking out of the
lid’s hatch, AND while seeing this, trying not to run into an errant goat
bouncing in and out of the road, baaah-ing it’s cute little head off. THOSE are
the type of things that make me tick. I’m very sorry I do not have a picture to
post of this. So I will include an illustration of my own that will not do it
any justice…

| it was pure awesomeness. |
#3 I’ve also decided what house I want in Churchill. I need
to come up with an extra $200,000 before I can convince Tim we can buy it… and
how I’m going to do that I have absolutely no idea, but mark my words, I Will
Have That House. I will post more about this later…
#4 ugh, WHY do they make fire alarms SO LOUD??? (yes, I know
why, but there should be a better way of overriding the system to get them to
STOP!!!)
#5 My dryer quit and I was able to get it fixed for $111.
The diagnostic fee was $75 alone – Ka-ching! I happened to ask the manager at
Vanns what brand he suggested (for when I have to buy a new set because Maytags
are not what they used to be) and he told me Speed Queen, because they are
industrial/commercial grade machines for home use and never come back in for
repairs. Thought you might like to know.
#6 My TV also quit (it was free and was the old ‘boob tube’
and was losing it’s picture, but it was FREE). I went shopping and of course
spent a little more than I had intended. Vanns had a 43” Samsung Plasma for
$450. That’s completely ridiculous. I remember when they were 10x that. Also
got some big-daddy surge protectors because I think that River Rock has some
major electrical issues.
#7 My printer still doesn’t work, which is annoying, but I
spent all my fun $$$ on my new TV.
#8 The True Value by the mall in Bozeman
has unassembled fold-up Adirondack chairs for
$30 apiece. BUT, I spent all my fun $$$ on my new TV. (Are you picking up the
possibility of buyer’s remorse???)
#9 I got my fire alarms to quit. Thank you, God, for my
smart husband who loyally calls me back when I am in trouble.
#10 I have been commissioned! To paint a picture! This is
very exciting stuff!
