Rare times on the Ship

Blackbeard surprised me the other day!!!

He got this out of its hiding place! I heard we had one, but since I never see it, I thought it was idle gossip......

He got it out to advert disaster on the ship..........

Our tiny tiny room with the special chair was out of order........

I wanted to call on a specialist, but he would have none of that.

(this is where he is ALL ABOUT BEING CHEAP (WHOOPS!) Frugal)

He disassembled the special chair while I had my finger on speed dial. I tried to tell him, its not like a computer, you just can't start tearing it apart and somehow figure out how to put it back together......

Well I must admit, he shamed his wyfe and her doubts. Before I knew it, he had it reassembled and water was where water should be......

He strutted out quite please with himself and decided to leave me to the aftermath while he moved on to other projects. 

He passed on this project......

I don't think he saw this disaster........

Seadog did his best with the tile, but was unfortunately hampered by the lack of thumbs.......

oh well, I can't blame him........but someday, it will be time to call a professional..

Nephson

Anybody besides me have a nephson?

He's my heart if anyone ever was.  I like to torture him by telling him how exciting it was for me the day he was born, as well as any other big life moments of his. Like all teenagers, his response is a dramatic eye-roll and something to the effect of "Don't you have any new stories?"This year he is a senior in high school. 

He is steadily counting down the days until he is free of compulsory ed

ucation and off to spend his relatives hard earned money on just the right school of higher learning. 

 

Today we began our University Education Shopping.....

There is nothing better than going back to school. Especially when you know that you are helping to find the right fit for what will be the most definative time of a young adult's life. (and especially since I won't be the one having to buckle down and study.)

We obediently wandered around following our tour director/student/sales rep.

Most campuses have some of these.

and these

and these.

Bonus Boy tagged along for early exposure.

He was most concerned with the whereabouts of the dining hall.

These made my heart go pitter pat.....

(It was very difficult to maintain my composure when we passed the second one.....)

This was a little secret surprise.......

Over all I'd say that things hadn't changed much since my co-ed days.....

1988

2008

Except for this....

Stay tuned for more inland adventures....

I work in a factory

Friends, Foes, and Secret Admirers.....

I have a sad truth to share about my life. I work in a factory. Not a pretty perfume factory or even something as swanky as, oh, I don't know... a decorative glass factory. I work in a dirty nasty food chemical plant.....and so that I don't get fired.....that's as far as I'll go.

Anyway, this job thing has deprived me lately of the joy of this blog thing I've started. I was checking my schedule the other day and said "Oh Goodie! I only have to work 48 hours next week!!"
So if I post a lame picture or amusing comic, it's not that I'm being uncreative...it's just that I'm stuck at that factory that pays my bills......

Note to Everyone.....
