And the hits just keep on coming..
When Clarice was little, she looked just like this...sleeping on our necks, with her reticulated tummy...
You know, I'm in a pretty good mood, considering...My internet connection is still cutting out frequently, but I'm just resigned to keep reconnecting as often as need be until its fixed...no problem, right? And my phone, which is pretty much out of juice (there is an internal issue, the new battery didn't solve the problem), and neither of our phones work in the country (Sprint is great in the city, not so much in the country), so I'm pretty much w/out phone service until we get a new provider...and this morning, at 6:30, when Brian was leaving for work, he found a flat tire on the truck...Needless to say, he took the car, so I'm sans phone and vehicle...I might as well walk around barefoot w/ a piece of straw hangin outta my teeth, and a jug of XXX slung over my shoulder...
I tried to call a local tire repair place, but as soon as they answered, the phone cut the signal...I'm laughing for the keystone-cops situation here...
On the good side, my bead count is raising, I have so many that I need to get them off the mandrels so I can use them again...I hope they are worth the wait for ya'll...i found my dremel, but not the crystal box, so I think the beads will be 'loose' this round...i'm sure ya'll can handle it, tho...
The fridge, tv and 2 armoires arrived safely yesterday, but we forgot the tools at the old house, so we can't hook up the water line and get it up and going until tonight...
I sure hope we don't move again anytime soon...although this has been pretty smooth, and at least it wasn't 2000 miles away...This weekend is house-cleaning in Austin...time to mop some floors and vacuum and mow...the fun never ends...!

Donna! True country living....no amenities! Or, practically none. What better place to be "stuck", though with nothing to do but make beads and watch country life roll by. The "hick" picture I have in my head of you with the straw in your teeth, etc. gave a good laugh.
