Is it fall yet?!?!

ok ok ok ok....I'm tired of the freakin heat already, I'm tired of no rain and drought already....sheesh!...grumble...ok, theres my rant for the day...lol! btw, theres only 167 more shopping days until christmas! not that i'm counting mind you, read it on a blog i check out pretty regularly......I even broke out my fall decorations yesterday, well, at least my fall leaf garlands i drape ove my door and window, and my little plackards that say, harvest blessings, and let it snow! of course, when it snows i'll bitch and whine about the cold then!! lets face it, if i couldnt bitch and whine about something i'd freakin explode!!! speaking of which, the 4th of July festivities here in town came and thankfully, went pretty quickly, i watched the pathetic parade as usual, and got sunburned as usual..and took picture as usual...I stayed home for the fireworks, as i freakin hate crowds!!! i heard em from the front porch, so it wasnt a total loss, and someone posted video of them on facebook, so i got to see em anyway! I did decide to treat myself Saturday night, Instead of going to the fireworks and arts and crafts show, which i might add, you have to pay to get into..what a joke...I went to the country club and had a lovely new york strip dinner! excellent food, excellent service, excellent atmosphere, and best of all, very few people around! then i went home, walked the dog, then layed on the couch on the front porch with all windows open and listened to the fireworks and just relaxed......kind of like what I did yesterday......i did manage to set up my new printer stand, and frame a wolf image i found online and printed out, its the logo from the wheel of time series of books, a chapter logo actually, pretty cool.  And yet another rant! I bought a box of banquet fried chicken, first thing i noticed, the price has gone up..7.50 a box now, next thing i noticed, only 5 pieces now!!! what a freakin ripoff!!!! third thing i noticed, the cooking instructions completely changed, now they say you have to cook the big pieces first, then throw the smaller pieces in then cook it more!!! i cooked em all at once for 52 minutes and it was perfect! hah!!!! then the biggest thing i noticed, was the breading seems to have changed, and the flavor was different, i hated it...never buy that again, i got to the point where i no longer liked kfc...so i started buying banquet...now that banquet sucks, i may have to make fried chicken homemade....!! it would probably come out better!!! rant number 2 over...heh......I managed to throw out 2 more big bags of video tapes the other day....i'm guessing it might take 8 to 10 more to get rid of 98 percent of my old coll4ection, i am going to keep a very few tapes..but not many......i'm still saving up for a dvd burner/vcr combo so i can digitize a few tapes i dont wanna lose....time will tell i guess.....not sure what I'm gonna do tonight, probably wait until they pickup my overflowing, as usual, trashcan before i start tossing more viddie tapes......and i need to start shredding soon, ive got tons of stuff to shred......sigh..ive got so many projects half started, or half done, i dont think i'll ever get it all done...need another 3 or 4 lifetimes to complete...such is life i guess......so be it.......................until next time.............
