[My] Life in Wisconsin

Define "Grim" ...

Good Evening!
Just a note to let you all know I am still alive- Just got in from playing with the dogs. (They have not harmed themselves, or me, lately). They did however make me throw around a busted frisbee, and a couple of squeak balls for a long time.
"Long" in this weather is how long it takes me to get freezie fingers. (About half an hour tonight).
It is 29° right now.
Snow/Ice in the forecast for the game tomorrow. But the worst of that storm is going to be way south of us here. (Sure hope they're right about that).

I am still giggling, having gotten to my little horoscopes a bit late today.

Here is the first one...

Dear Anne,
Here is your Daily Cancer GreenScope for
Saturday, November 29:


Your sense of grace, sensitivity and sound judgment will come in handy when you receive the most grim holiday gift ever.
A lie or honesty?
Skirt the issue, but always write a thank-you note. That's where your creativity comes in really handy.
Acknowledge the good intentions.
Remember: it's the thought that counts: 'Thanks for the lovely rug. It'll look great in my basement!


So I wait-
Ever so cautiously, I checked the mailbox for anything "grim".
Maybe bills are "grim" ?


BS emoticon

And then this one too...

Dear Anne,
Here is your horoscope
for Saturday, November 29:

You may be somewhat overcommitted today or it could just be that your schedule doesn't allow for enough private time. Try to grab a few moments here and there to re-center yourself.


A "few moments" ?
hehehe
So I "centered" myself on the couch, and took a nap.

Hope your Saturday was better than "grim" !

XOXO
Me

PS
Silly question here.
Why does frisbee always come up under spell check as wrong?

  2. Today was my delayed Thanksgiving. I worked a double shift on Thanksgiving, so when I got off from work this morning (the start of my weekend) I came home and fixed a huge Thanksgiving dinner and mom came over to my house and ate with me. It was nice, but I'm exhausted. I won't have to cook for about a week I have so many leftovers - I love Thanksgiving leftovers though!

    I'm glad to hear that Milly and Punk are getting along better now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the fight was a one time thing.

  3. Freezy fingers and tossing around a couple of balls make me squeak just thinking about it.

  4. *shocked face*

    OMG! YOU cussed on your own page?! I can't believe it! If you can do it then we should be able to do it too!

    LOL!

    Sounds to me like someone is going to send/give you a really crappy Christmas gift... LOL

    Keep an eye out for socks and underwear!

    Glad to hear that the girls have been behaving themselves. It must have just been a one-time thing where boundaries unseen to you were overstepped...

    Keep warm! Snuggle up on the couch and watch some TV...

    No clue why frisbee comes up wrong on spell check.... Maybe just one of those things...



    Loves Ya,

    Slackin' Snotball Slurkie ;-)

  5. Well.....you know I love Astrology...but I hold very little faith in the generalities they speak of. I read mine often but I prefer to wait till the day is done and then read it so it never had a chance to influence my day. However.....sometimes they do hit the "nail on the head" with their accuracy.

    Bills are always "grim." That could very well be what it refers to. Or maybe you will be getting one of those Unedible fruit cakes that many people use as door stops. Hehehehe! (my grannies fruit cake was the only one I ever liked....yummy!)

    Oh....and Frisbee is correct. You just need to put the capital F on it.

  6. Dang! Don't I feel dumb?

  7. I know about playing in the cold.
    Before we broke Emily of her penlight habit (cuz it died) I had to bundle up every morning @ 4 AM to go out and play. Not fun. We considered buying another one but why spoil a good thing?
    Stay warm ! I'm waiting for my cold to come thru shortly.
    love & big hugs
    oxoxo

  8. I think it might have been a horoscope mix up....the grim one should have been my dad's.
    Mom went to the hospital friday and will be there a while. She has a skin infection in her groin area, A urinary tract infection. Some infection was detected in her blood. Worst of all there is a new mass in her lung that could be TB or Cancer. I spent the day with her yesterday...she was black and blue all over from all the 'pokes'.

    The second horoscope was intended for me.....I am overcommited and do not reember what 'private time' means. Mark walked in on me after I got out of the shower yesterday, I shot him a glare...he said "What?? I am your husband!" It didnt matter to me if he was publishers clearinghouse here to give me a check...why can I never get a moments peace??
    Thats a rhetorical question....no need to explain : )

  9. Sweet Beep!
    Rocks cannot hide under beds; 'specially when they are big.
    And besides, nothing can hide under my bed anyway, I have a waterbed. (Although the cat has crawled under there and slept in the drawers).

    I always get the "BLOG" misspelling too! Too funny!
    But here is the online entry

  10. Sweet RT!
    A double on Thanksgiving? perfect and timely for Christmas. But oh, you must be tired!
    Happy that you had your mom over too, and that you have leftovers.
    Wish I did!

    I still have Punks training collar on... I put in a new battery and put it back on her right after that. Separation would then be a click away. (er, I hope).
    But they have been good.
    Add to the conflict the fact that they have not gone to the woods since hunting season began.
    It is over today. Tomorrow we shall ALL run and get it out of our systems.

  12. Go wipe that evil grin off your face Sweet SlurkieBaby!
    It's my page and I'll damn well cuss if'n I want to.
    (So there).
    Nasty that.
    Yes, I give you permission to cuss too.

    Did you really mean to say crappy and underwear almost in the same sentence?
    Besides, I need socks and underwear.
    My sock turned over on my foot. What does THAT mean?
    Maybe I shouldn't have slept in them.

    Hopefully 'the girls' have realized that I am the alpha dog, and whatever they do to try to change this won't help.

    XOXO

  13. Sweet PeachieBaby!
    That accuracy you speak of is only because of the generalities you also speak of. Sooner or later it will apply.
    But horoscopes are fun anyway. (As long as they do not come from a Oiuja Board).

    Look out on that fruit cake. Grandmother always used too much brandy.
    (I am one of the very few people that actually like fruitcake).

    Capital "F"... Sorry, I don't cuss on my pages.
    hehehe

    XOXO

  14. Sweet Bug!
    I am still giggling at you having to go out and play at 4AM.

    I plan on staying inside for the most part today... (while psyching myself to be out and about tomorrow and shovel and play)...

    XOXO

    Sending my weather your way soon.

  15. Sweet BethieBaby!
    I am so sorry to hear of your mothers hospitalization- And here I thought many things were going so right for her.
    TB or cancer? Not much of a good thing either way. And so I shall pray even harder.

    You only feel overcommitted because you have children parents and a hubby. In my lineo f thinking, that is just wonderful. (Even if he walks in on you- Imagine if he wasn't there to do just that).
    But I do understand what you are saying too. Somewhere in the dark recesses of my mind I do remember feeling exactly that same way.
    Oops. Sorry I explained.

    Now as far as Publisher clearing house goes.
    I would have sold them my towel in exchange for the check.
    Yup. No pride lefct here.
    hehehe

    XOXO
    Me

  21. Allow enough private time? Was that when you were running around nekkers?

    Grim? Dead mouse from Sputty?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Good question! I actually have an answer for it too!

    "Blog" is a shortened word that people came up with on their websites. The actual word is "weblog" (web-log)... That is the full word. Blog is just short for weblog...

  23. I think it is because Frisbee is a brand name...

    "...The Frisbie Baking Company (1871-1958) of Bridgeport, Connecticut, made pies that were sold to many New England colleges. Hungry college students soon discovered that the empty pie tins could be tossed and caught, providing endless hours of game and sport..."

    For more reading on the history of the Frisbee (or Frisbie) go to:

    Just fun and games!! :D

    BRRRR!!!!!!!!! It is really cold out! Greg's car wouldn't start after work last night. Ryan "Oz" brought him home and I brought him in today. I am wondering if it will start today for him... Not too sure... It was extremely tough trying to clean off my car last night. About a half inch of ice that wouldn't budge under hard snow... UGH!!!! I did find out, though, that a tic-tac container works great for the side-view mirrors! They are small enough that it's not a battle to get the ice scrapper to get everything... Very effective!

    Not too sure about the "grim" present... Here's what I found for "grim" online:
    Adjective

    grim (comparative grimmer, superlative grimmest)
    1. dismal and gloomy, cold and forbidding
    "It was grim in the northern industrial town"
    2. rigid and unrelenting
    "His grim determination enabled him to win"
    3. ghastly or sinister
    "The grim castle overshadowed the village"

    From here: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/grim

    I think maybe they meant a disappointing gift...

    I love you Much Much!
