Share your day June 2013

Today I took my usual walk in the park with the dog and hubby. Packed some water for all of us, since the weather is starting to get hot here, and there's not much shade at the dog park.

After that, I went to the library, and heard some tornado sirens outside. The gal that worked there announced to everyone to either go into the restrooms or the hallway...and if they preferred to stay put, to consider that there was a lot of glass in that building. Of course, we all stayed where we were. :playful:

Then...I went to Walmart to pick up some things. When I was leaving the store, a security guy had some blond haired kid (around 17 years old) in the lobby, holding him by the front of his shirt, while talking on his radio phone. The kid was saying 'you better let go of me NOW!', etc. I just left the store, didn't want to get a "cap in my a$$" just for being in the area. :p

So, as I'm putting my bags in my Jeep, the kid runs past me, with the security guard chasing after him. The kid was tall, so he ran pretty fast. They disappeared from sight, with the kid in the lead. Not sure what he did or stole.

Driving out, I saw another security guy talking on his phone, looking out of breath too. It appeared that the kid got away. Seems to me that Walmart needs to tweak their security procedures for future incidents...I couldn't believe nobody was by that guards side within seconds to assist. :rolleyes:

Oh well, a little excitement in my day. Picked up a good NY style pizza from a local pizzeria, and brought it home for supper. :)

Last year, down in FL, an old geezer Walmart greeter, knocked a theft who was running out the door, flat on his ass with a shopping cart. :rolleyes:

That's one of those sweet against-all-odds events that we hear about once in a while. Unfortunately the story is usually more along the lines of the perp knocking the greeter down.

I think they need to hire a few of us ex-bouncers as Wally-Mart greeters - as soon as someone enters you shove 'em against the wall, frisk 'em, run the wand over 'em then give 'em a glow-in-the-dark bracelet to wear.

It gets worse on the way out ... :cool:

Boy are you lucky (NY style pizza). We have one place that claims to make NY style pizza but they really are clueless. For as many pizza places as we have in our area, I can't think of one that's a stand out:(

It isn't REAL NY-style unless it drips grease down the front of your shirt, you're charged $5 a slice and you get mugged while you're eating it. ;)

We have an area up the road a ways here called Old Forge - they've taken the name of "Pizza Capital of Pennsylvania" for themselves and claim to make wonderful "NY-Style" pizza.

Although I've tried many places there and the pies ARE good, they still don't bring to mind the pies of old in NYC. Maybe my taste buds have aged or my perception or memory have failed me, but somehow they just aren't the same ...
 
We're not close enough to the fires to experience any ash, but there has been a lot of smoke in the air, causing hazy conditions, etc. There's nothing like the pizza you get in NY, but even there, some places are excellent, and some not so much. Luckily we found one local pizzeria that comes super close, hoping they don't shut down...but they've been around for over 20 years now, just had a name change awhile back. There's two other places that are acceptable, but the quality varies so much with each order, that we avoid those.
 
While in NYC many, many moons ago I ordered a "California Burger" in a restaurant. It was terrible. I say, if you want NYC pizza, go to NYC.

Yeah, New Yorkers don't quite "get" the concept of health food - their idea of it is putting some lettuce on a pastrami sandwich. :confused:

I shouldn't say that ... there were actually a few health-food restaurants back in the day, but they always charged 3x what you'd pay in a regular joint. I could never justify sacrificing taste for health, nor money for image.
 
Today, after our walk in the park with the dog, I did some needed maintenance with trimming the hedges and shrubs in the front yard. Was going to prepare to plant grass seed in the back yard, but hubby talked me out of it. It's sooo hot and dry, with the watering restrictions and all, it is hard to expect good results, so will wait until fall. Yesterday, I did buy numerous bags of topsoil, compost and mulch...so I'm ready to go at any time. Hope everyone is having a nice day! :)
 
Well, it took a day and a half, but the bedroom floor is finished. My knees held out just fine, but the old back had a few twinges. Managed to get the furniture back in the room last night with some help. The rest of my house is a disaster so I'll be trying to sort through it all today and get it cleaned up. Picked up the flooring for the living room yesterday, but I'm taking a break and will start again on Monday. I have some pictures, but can't find the "thingy" I need to download them. I'm hoping I'll find it when I do the big clean up! And....isn't always the way when in the middle of renovations. My daughter's new boyfriend (who I haven't met yet) is coming to visit this weekend. Gotta run folks, serious cleaning ahead today. :eek:nthego:
 
Congrats!

Were you wearing knee pads and a back-brace? I used to do a lot of flooring and I found that they helped quite a bit.

Good luck on your hunt for the USB cable - they like to hide in dark, dry places, so start with those. ;)

Congrats on getting the floor done. You deserve a break. Good luck visiting with the new boyfriend. Hope he proves to be a good guy.
 
Trip to the bank, post office and wave check. Got pretty teller at bank. Yea! Mail box delivered a few magazines and a bill. Waves insufficient and already blown out by increasing wind. Another small craft advisory in effect, today. Good chance of rain predicted for next week which, this time, will actually deliver as I washed both the truck and the car . . .

Hello Kitty brought me a half-eaten lizard. Damn! I don't scold her because . . . well, it's a cat thing and I'm supposed to be honored. We had a chat and I told her it would go down her permanent record but she was not impressed. Have a lot of blue-bellied lizards also known as California fence lizards. They're fun and do not bite like the mean alligator lizards.

Got mildly scolded by the doctor, who said he'd schedule me back for six months which would "----put the visit in the winter and there's no bushogging in December, so no excuses".

It's all genetics. I've never smoked or done drugs (yeah I know -----borrrrrinnnnnnggg) but horse money has always been more important:eek:nthego:

Neither of my grandmother's smoked, mom didn't, dad smoked a pipe. They all had some sort of heart related issues, so the best I can do is continue to eat equally as boring as my non-drug using life has been and take my strong BP like a good old Hag should:drinking:

Both my parents had, and my sister has high blood pressure. Although mine is high now and then, it generally in the low to normal category. Here's a forum on hypertension, that has some tips for regular natural foods, etc. to help with high blood pressure. http://www.natmedtalk.com/f71/ . PS: I prefer old bag to old hag, too many supernatural stories of the 'old hag' who sits on people's chests while they sleep to suffocate them. :eek: Anyhoo. enjoying a couple of Foster's right now, so here's to you and your health TWHRider! :D :cheers:
 
Took our usual walk in the park, in the "official" summer heat. Afterwards, I took in a movie at the theater with my husband. Although I'm not a zombie fan, I agreed to seeing World War Z (in 3D) with Brad Pitt. Turned out to be a good action-packed flick, that I really enjoyed. Of course it helped that Brad Pitt was 'easy on the eyes', lol, which I mentioned to hubby after the show. :p

Don't care for 3D or theaters much but thought movie could be good and will catch it on tv eventually. Glad you enjoyed it and am taking that as a recommendation.

Me neither, last movie we went to together was the 'Day after Tomorrow', quite a few years ago. Also took in a Smurf movie when my sister visited me with the grandnephews. Both of those movies, and the one we saw today, were in the mass shooter theater from awhile back.

My husband pointed out that the World War Z movie may have been better without the 3D, due to fast action scenes taken in tight screen. There was also a newspaper review stating similar thoughts...so, watching it without the 3D should be no big loss. If it's on cable TV in the future, we'll likely watch it again, at least my husband will. Lol...he's been teasing me now that I'm a fan of the zombie 'genre' and has been mentioning other flicks like '28 Days Later', Dawn of the Dead, etc. :rolleyes::love_heart: He also watches the Walking Dead cable TV shows, with the follow up show Talking Dead. PS: he's currently watching Zombieland with Woody Harrelson.
 
The Zombies of Mora Tau scared the poop outta me when I was a kid. Fun to watch, these "daze".

oh my gosh, Sea....I started to watch Zomieland last night too. I couldn't get pass the intro after seeing people eating people....Guess I'm getting soft in my old age. I use to love these things. I do have Netflix, and really enjoy war movies and cowboy flicks. I like all of the pawn shows and antiques roadshow is excellent. Any type show that goes back and shows the thousands of dollars in toys and comics that we hauled to the dump. :-(
 
Woke up at sunrise. A little chilly in the low 40s. Enjoyed coffee watching a couple dozen quail and their chicks feeding and chasing each other. Logged on here and will soon head back outside to peruse the garden...
 
It looks lovely TICA...BEAUTIFUL job! :applause2: Love the way your pups snuck into the picture too! :love_heart:
 
I took a nice walk alone today on a path in a wooded area. It was great because there was some cloud cover, so it wasn't so hot...plush some shade from the cottonwood trees. Came back home and decided to take a picture of a baby Magpie in my yard. There's at least three of them hopping around, recently left the nest and are learning to fly. They're really big, but the tail feathers are much shorted than the adults. Mom squawked at me from above.

I wasn't watching it with my husband, that's one reason I don't like zombie movies...too gross for me. The nice thing about World War Z, was that it didn't have that gross factor. :sick:
