Good evening Humble Readers...
Just a quick post to vent...
We knew we were going to be replacing our furnace this summer. We put it off as long as we could, but it has to be installed, next week. $2500
Then the oven died. Don't get me wrong, I love my new stove, but we certainly could have done without that expense right now. $775 (and I got a good deal... I promise I'll tell you about it tomorrow)
Today, the kitchen faucet started leaking ... again. This time it's serious. It looks like we'll be spending $300 on a new faucet and installation (because we are both inept at anything plumbing related).
Have I mentioned that I'm just a bit stressed?
Being a grown up sucks!

Hobbit-ish Potpurri: A Grouchy Hobbit Lives Here
Good Evening Humble Readers...
It's been a trying evening, but now I am home, in my pyjamas, cuddled up on the couch with my Beloved, my puter, and America's Got Talent. (Does anyone else thing that it's hugely ironic that none of the AGT judges are American by birth?)
*****
It has been raining cats and dogs here for the last two days. Yesterday we had tornado warnings to the south of us, today we had wind gusts up to 90km. We've gotten 130mm of rain in 36 hours. It's cold too. We went from upper 20s and low 30s (that's celcius folks... and damn hot!) down to 7 this morning. Brrrr!
*****
I have 8 very itchy mosquito bites! I am trying very hard not to scratch.
*****
Today was busy from the get go... I had a chiro appointment, then a Dr B appointment (another good bp day). Then home for an hour or so, then off to work. And because it's raining buckets it was pretty busy. And the second half of my shift was full of big and small irritations that made me very Very grouchy.
*****
And because I was cranky, all I really wanted when I got home was a slice of the chocolate cake that I made last week... if you haven't checked out the recipe yet, you MUST... only to remember that we polished it off a couple of days ago. Bummer! I'm going to have to make it again for my Beloved's birthday next month.
*****
I am facing a quandry, Humble Readers. In the next month, three of my favourite authors are releasing new titles (one is already out, actually). Part of me wants to stock up before we go on vacation, so that I have stuff to read, but most of me knows that I'm going to be staying up late most nights talking to my mom and not doing a whole lot of reading while we are out there.
*****
And speaking of vacation... I am so excited to be going 'home' for a week! I haven't been home for two and a half years (far too long considering it's only a 9 hour drive) and I miss my mountains soooo much! Not to mention my family! And on the list of must do's for while we are in K-town... a trip to Wr.ap Zo.ne for a Leaning Tower of Pesto! Yummy!

If you've made it this far through this tedious whiny post... you deserve a gold medal! Hobbit points all around!
