A couple of days ago it was like 35°F and today it's 70°F, but it's supposed to drop to 40°F tonight. This has to be due to global warming. Family tells me they remember Christmas and New Year's being cold here in Texas. I'm shorts right now.
Sometimes it is cold, sometimes it is warm.
And I think I remember we used to have sun.

I love Mr. T!!!!!!
His whole life story is an American success story. I'm surprised no one has done a biopic movie about him.

You ever go somewhere in a public place, like an airport, and an inappropriate song(like "How Many Licks" by L'il Kim for example) randomly pops up in your head? Yeah..

Everyone check your receipts before you leave a store check out area....I got overcharged for something but it's doubtful I will get a refund b/c I didn't look at the receipt until days later and this store makes customers bag their own items so I just grabbed my receipt and left (people behind me, busy store.) I did email about it but it's a small amount of money so I'm not going to dwell on it. However it is always easier to take care of that sort of issue right when it happens.
There's a grocery store near me that does this A Lot. I don't watch everything being rung up, but noticed that they frequently have 'specials' - a bin in the middle of an isle with a special price, you impulsively grab it, and they Charge The Regular Price! I now know to watch that, they go check and give me the 200% refund. (While I am mumbling in my grumpy 'Get Off My Lawn Voice' that Home Depot got caught doing that, Big Big Class Action Lawsuit, LOL)

Remember when businesses used to use Muzak? Muzak knew what it was doing. Now you hear music with lyrics, and so annoying you have to leave before you can buy anything.

The Irish woman who rents a room from me… I kinda feel guilty about what I did to her, although I can’t stop laughing about it, either.
So the guy I work for owns a private plane, and he buys these lifelike rubber snakes to put on it for to keep the birds and mice away. Well, he had extras, so I asked if I could have them. Anyhow, the Good Idea Fairy paid me a visit yesterday, so I put two under her bedspread. And completely forgot about it until we were all about to go to bed last night, and this hysterical screaming suddenly erupted from her room.
I tell you, trying to convince someone you’re sorry while you’re laughing so hard that you just can’t get any words out… it took a long time, needless to say.
I probably should do something to atone for it, though. I kinda feel bad, but I don’t actually regret it. It was hilarious.

I'm back in my home state now. I hate the snow, ice, and below freezing temps. I felt tempted to book another flight back out of here but can't for certain reasons. This kind of weather is depressing. If anyone needs me, I'll be hidden in my three layered blanket fort until spring.

Well finally I guess I'm pulling my shit together and doing ME.
I'm not wasting any time on traditional dating this weekend. The next few days are all about the $$.
Gonna hit the road, get out of town and strip , and hopefully have enough day time energy to move some vanilla sales forward too.
Double up and stack it . That's the plan.
Oh, and I got the coolest acting job in 6 days. A brewery patron for a beer pass tour business. Fu$^ing awesome.
I will be eating and drinking beer on camera and getting paid for it.

Hey everyone, thanks to this Marie Kondo lady thrift stores and consignment shops are getting more stock, which is awesome if you hate paying retail and/or like collecting unique things to decorate your home/garden.
My favorite charity thrift shop is having a clearance weekend sale because of this. I'm thrilled.

One of the barn managers is a HUGE Patriots fan, and she’s been carrying on and on and on about it all day long. So, as she was getting ready to leave, I dropped the bucket behind her car so she couldn’t get out because I had to put forks on to unload a hay delivery. Even drove right by her and yelled, “you hate us because you ain’t us” at her.
I love it when the stars align just right.

If you know the events of what it’s based on, you already know how it ends for his character. Turns out, I’ll have to wait until next weekend. I saw that it had opened at Alamo Drafthouse this weekend, but apparently not at all locations.

Might be over rated, but can't go wrong with cooking him an appetizer, dinner, and dessert. Men love to eat. I would look for something really good online. By you making this a yearly thing, you don't have to worry about gifts.

I'm a terrible cook. Once his mother made us a wonderful dinner and I burned it warming it up. I burn toaster waffles.
I might be able to make a dessert for him. Maybe a no bake cheesecake or something like that. Thanks that is a good idea.

A hard lesson learned- while drying some Nike running shoes with a hair dryer on high I accidentally burned the rubbed toggle fasteners off of the lace holes. (My bad but I assumed anything brand named built to stand the test of being a shoe would not do that.) So looks like air drying is the way to go, no shortcuts to running shoe freshness. Ugh.

A lot of my favorite shows are going to their own separate streaming service. So far I have Netflix and CBS All Access. I don't have HBO for GOT and I really want DC Universe for Titans. I'm not going to pay or I'll get them bootlegged or just read. It's a matter of principle.

That's a great idea. He loves the Spurs and the Cowboys and fishing. He really loves photography. He loves PC gaming. But he's very particular, he likes what he likes though. I've bought things for him and he says he loves them and thanks me might use them a couple of times, but then never uses them again.
