9 lives or jobs or clubs or just too much stuff

I work at the courthouse in the county I have always lived in, pretty neat gig. When I accepted the position my boss, a guy I had gone to high school with, asked me to help out the Women's Service Club.  I thought why not, I'm really not needed that much at home so I will volunteer my time. One night a month and keep up with booking for the Rose Community Center. Then he asked me to be a part of the Chamber of Commerce in our county, again once a month meeting for an hour or two and home, I can do it. I had these two position made in the shade. Easy and nothing to it.  Then a member of the Historical Society ask me to come to a meeting.  The Historical Society manages the Heritage Park, which is a neat little park the hosts the 4th of July Event put on by the Women's Service Club.  Now when I say I work at the courthouse it is an 8 to 5 job, and I do have responsibilities that have to be seen to.  This time of year is busy, you really wouldn't think it but Eagle Fest, (Chamber Event) now in May is Founder Day at the Heritage Park (another Chamber event), so I thought I'll join the Historical Society, so I don't have to ask every time to use the keys to the park to consider event and vendors. Well I'll be danged if the Tourism board didn't ask me to be a part of that one too! I joined the tourism board but not as a voting member just go because it was in the middle of the day and I needed a break from the phones for that hour of the one day month they met.   I love all these little clubs and being a part of it all.  Keeps me active and accountable. I was rocking along just fine until a person came in my office today and said these horrible words to me.  " I just came from across the street and The Chamber told me you were in charge if my name was Jeannine"  What the HELL??? I thought I'll just tell him Jeannine aint here. My name is Maria.
Well I didn't tell him that but I sure thought it.  I did tell him I aint in charge o nuttin, and I  politely told Mr. Visitor he had been misguided but that I would try and answer his question.  He was asking who was in charge of procurement of technology.  Thank you Jesus, I sent him to somebody else!
There does come a time when you just shouldn't take on anymore, the things I want to do like volunteer to be the T-Ball referee is all I want to do.  I remember Mr. Renshaw being our referee when Janie was little and just how much fun it looked like he was having with the younger kids and helping them up when they fell or turning them to the first when they wanted to go to third.  Who has time for that? If I ever get to retire, that's what I want to do be a full time volunteer and hope someone remembers the Women's Service Club was part of the Chamber of Commerce that hosted events at the Heritage Park that the Tourism Board funded.  PLAY BALL!!


Happy Trails my friends..

Last weekday of My Jan. Vacation

Friday Jan. 6, 2017 and it snowed!  We had made the decision earlier in the day to run to Tyler to spend he gift certificate Tony and his family got him from his favorite place Harbor Freight.
Random stuff runs thur my head all the time so keep up if you can.  This morning on TV I heard the phrase "it's snowing in the panhandle"  that phrase brings back wonderful winter childhood memories.  I can remember Granny Jennie telling us it was snowing in the panhandle and we would go get our coats on. We had no idea Amarillo was 700 miles away, how different the weather was there than in Point, or what the hell a panhandle was but Granny said it was snowing and we knew she watched the local channels.
Last night my I and O was sticking on my key board, I was told to get contact cleaner and spray it on and it would clean the Dr. Pepper from the KB.  Today I stopped by an automotive parts store and it was 12 dollars a can.  So I went to a computer repair shop in Lindale and asked the guy what I could do. He said to spray it with diluted alcohol, take the batteries out of it first, spray it turn it over and let it air dry.  UH Thank you Mr. Computer man for saving me the $12 and a new KB!  He is located by Brookshires in Lindale.
November Kenny asked if he could have new basketball shoes, since his old ones were to small, I told him to find them online the ones he wanted and I would get them ordered.  Kharley and Kyle both over heard "find them online" and they too needed new shoes.  So what's a granny to do.  Kenny needed his for basketball, Kharley the Fashionista and shoe horse, and Kyle wears his out faster than they can be replaced, so naturally I said ok.  Basketball practice started and no shoes, Kharley and Kyles shoes came in, not Kenny's..I get back online and see where they are, well Kenny's are coming from China and the boat sank, so they reordered them..TODAY they came in 2 months after they were ordered.  This is a note to self:  Always look at website children are spending your money on.

My sister reminded me I needed to start blogging again, so I do what I'm told most of the time. LOL I can tell you right now that my I and O are stiiiiiiiiiicking real bad and ths will be a short post!
