Day @ MindSay

This is me making a new blog because a fresh start is refreshing.

Today, I became a blond. I love it. I do like change.

I got stoned twice today.

Me and Nicole were totally chinked staring at each other. It was flipping hilarious.
"HEROIN NEXT, BIIIIIITCH."

Tomorrow, I plan to chill with the K and Big T. That should be joyous.

BYE.

DURING MY VISIT TO NOTTINGHAM, I HAVE A CHANCE TO MEET THESE "ONE" ROBIN HOOD PLAYING HIS GUITAR..SO I INVITED HIM TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH ME..BUT HE HE TOLD ME THAT HE DIDN'T BRING HIS ARROW!!!!!

American Forces Press Service

 

June 18, 2008 - A congressman from Arizona has recognized a group from his state for its continued dedication to supporting the troops. U.S. Rep. Harry Mitchell honored Packages From Home on June 14 for its efforts and continued support for the nation's servicemembers and for their dedication in providing care packages to U.S. troops.

 

Packages From Home is a supporter of America Supports You, a Defense Department program connecting citizens and companies with servicemembers and their families serving at home and abroad.

 

Mitchell recognized Kathleen Lewis and Lisa Benson -- president and executive director, respectively, of Packages From Home -- in a Flag Day ceremony at the state capitol. The three participated in the unveiling of a poster-sized replica of the new Arizona state flag stamp.

 

Packages from Home has sent more than 140,000 packages to U.S. troops over the past four years. The group also has provided tons of equipment for the troops to use in rest centers in Iraq.

I am glad I cleaned up the house a bit this week...

 

Today I had a contractor come over and install two screen doors for me.  I can hang interior doors but I have no clue about screen doors.  So I thought it best to hire someone to do the job. 

 

This contractor happens to be an aquaintence of mine and I appreciated the fact that he took a Saturday off to do this job.  He brought his kids along which did not bother me in the least.  His little girl is adorable and she and her older brother were squirming all over one of my area rugs.  Thank God I vacuumed it the other day and Mugsy has stopped peeing on it.  They also had a great time when I brought Mattie out.  Mattie and the little played and played.  Made me kindof wish I had a rug rat too.

 

What should have been a two hour job turned into a six hour one and of course it cost more.  But I am o.k. with that because I know the job was done well and it was done right.  He and one of his sons took a break from that and cut down some branches for me.  They were too high for me to get at and they were endangering the house.  That man has nerves of steel.  He was up at least twenty feet on the ladder and with chain saw in hand he cut down the branches.  I am deathly afraid of heights so me doing something like that is, well, forget about it.  But this man had the saw in one hand and holding on with the other he was able to get the branches cut off.  I was impressed.

 

While all of this was going on I dropped my car off to get the windows tinted.  It looks sweet!!!!

 

So today was an expensive day but well worth it.  I guess I will be eating ramen noodles for a while now.  At least they taste good.
