WTH???

So I have this HUGE tree in my backyard, mostly dead and my neighbour has been on my butt for at least two years about it. He's a freak and all worried about it coming down and crushing his house...yah it's big but it ain't big enough to reach his house....sigh...
I start calling around for peeps to come in and quote us on getting the monster removed so I can shut his yap up and they all start telling me that I need a PERMIT TO REMOVE MY OWN DAMN TREE!! Are you kidding me? I mean if I need to pay the city 200 bucks to get permission, they can take it down! GAH! I mean I pay house insurance and I've checked, that will cover any damage the tree makes coming down so realistically.....

Okay, off my beatup soapbox, I'll try to take some pics of my stuff and the basement and get posting with the pics......

Cinder And now for something completely Different! CRAFTS!  What is that you say?  Crafts on Carol's Crafty Corner? MADNESS! I know.  But I've been knitting up a storm to keep myself sane and my children alive (kidding, mostly) Here are some of my most recent items. My Kyna Shawl Zombie Vixen Fingerless gloves Hell or Highwater Cowl Star Crossed Slouchy Beret Dionne Slouchy Hat Cap'n Crunch I'm super proud of myself.  I've made a couple pairs of socks too.  One for a friend and one for me.  The Cap'n Crunch went to a friend out in BC so I don't actually have a picture of the Finished project.  I'll survive.  It looks awesome on her. I'm making myself another pair of fingerless gloves because the oldest has stolen the zombies.  I knew it would happen.  She kept coming in and taking them from me.  I'm enjoying the process of zoning out and doing nothing with my brain.  I need that dead time. I've al

Day Five and counting....

Well I've done four complete training shifts...and I still love it!!!! I've settled myself into the role as wiper and swiper...lol!!! I also rock the brewed coffee stand like nobody else! I did a couple Cap's and Latte's yesterday. I need to get over my fear of the milk foaming out over the lip and scalding me. I've been told more than once that it's not that hot and would probably only tan me sooooooo..........weeeeeeeeeeee!!! I've decided that I was honestly made for this job. Oh yah, I'm not a Starbucks Employee.....I'm a PARTNER! How cool is that? We are all considered partners cause you have the option to have "Bean Stock" purchases taken from your pay every week. LOVE IT! I totally laughed out loud when I heard Bean Stock. I love my work and have a renewed love for my kids. I love them all to death, but being away from them for a few hours every day, well, lets just say that when I come home I'm happy to be "just&qu

Great...

Forced cold turkey withdrawls.......could be worse I guess. I could be more than tired and headachy. Maybe this is a good thing to get off the happy drugs. Maybe my time on antidepresents has come and gone. After all, it's been four and a half years since I started them. Dad's anniversary passed this year with no tears so hopefully I've gotten over it? Who knows. In odd related news...my ex's dad passed on Peters birthday. I'm not sure if there is a meaning for that, but George was always my advocate in that relationship so it hurts a little that he's gone, not that I've seen him at all in the past 15 years... Either way, I need to get in gear and get rid of the flipping mouse who is making my life a misery...stinking brown fatty living behind my stove, I'll get you, don't you worry..............
