The Look?


Up and Down...seems to be the trend. Rain this morning along with the cold air. I know we need the rain for later in the Summer when we're all gripping about it being So hot and dry...LOL...Humanity, never satisfied!

It was a very lazy day around here today. I got up, and the Hubby and I ate toast with bacon and coffee. The kids were still sleeping. My son's daughter, Ruthy spent the night, so I had to get going to get her home on time. She's such a sweetie. Sami rode with us (Crystal's daughter). Chit chatted on the way to her house, helped carry in her bag and Sam and I were once again on our way back to our house...I look down at the gas gauge to see the "tank low" light on...Geez...it's now Really raining. Luckily, there was a Valero station close by so we were saved a 6 mile walk home. I pull into the station and we just stare at each other......"Well, get out and fill 'er up girlie"!.....I said to Sam.....LOL.....another lead balloon. How many of those are you permitted in a week?? Her "deer-in-headlight" expression sealed the deal....(standing in wind that blows in a direct direction down your shirt WITH cold rain added, makes one grateful...for something...LOL...) So, after filling up the tank (GEEZ...$53.06)...we were finally on our way home...to a rather pleasant day, doing laundry (Crystal) cooking (Hubby) and resting (Me & granbabies)...WHAT???....WELL...I had just had a nasty experience at the gas pumps...I was...vapored???LOL.....Night all.

Filling up the gas tank makes you physically ill anymore, doesn't it? LOL Hope you have a good nite's sleep Donna!

jenn said...

We filled up today, too. $52.00. It's insane! Luckily, my ryan knows how to pump, and loves to do it. Must be a guy thing!

Sweet dreams!

Sally said...

Hopefully, we'll get some of that rain today, need it badly! Have a good day!! :)

Brenda said...

I don't blame you for having the vapors after a fill up! If the price doesn't cause it, the pumping of it will. Luckily, there's still one place in town here that not only will pump your gas for you, but it's also FREE!

Brenda said...

Hahahahaha, that would be Free pumping, NOT free gas!

Donna said...

Hi Donna
Thanks for checking on me. I'm fine. I do miss Janey, but it's much worse for my daughter, who just loved her to bits.
As for your experience at the gas pump, isn't that just the worst thing? It always seems to be the coldest windiest place, and you're holding onto a gas nozzle that's at least ten degrees colder than the air temperature. I keep a coat in the back of my car, together with a pair of gloves, just for when i need to fill the tank. I was busy yesterday and the day before, mostly cooking, but today I've been lazy. :)

Donna said...

Dabrah- "Lazy" is a Good thing! I could feel your sadness sweetie...Give your daughter a Big hug from me...(((Hug))) And one for you!!!(((Hug)))...

Faery said...

Ha ha ha, Donna the cat looks like me, when I see an English speaking person in the supermarket that needs help with the language, i say to myself GO HELP and NO BUT MY ENGLISH IS TERRILE and at the end I say: may...I...help...you...with that face
I know I'm not supergirl but I feel bad if I don't help...

Donna said...

Faery-LOLOL....I know what you mean sweetie!! But your English is Wonderful! I feel bad, living in Texas and Not being able to speak Spanish!!lol...Happy night to you Dear!!hughugs

Gas is unreal!!!! It takes over $50.00 to fill up. I remember paying .89 cents to fill up.
