It's that time of the year....

I felt like I…

had to post today because I am on a roll here.  I have posted each day since December 1st so I have kind of got in the habit again.  I used to post every day when I was on WLS but got out of the habit.

I was out with my daughter this morning, paying bills and running errands.  We ate at Grumpy Pete’s aka Eighth Street Station.  This morning was a lull in the weather as we are to have a mixture of sleet and snow this afternoon.  When I got up this morning the wind chill was 8 below zero and the wind was out there right in my face as I walked to and from the car.  But the bills are all paid and the baby doesn’t need shoes and I am not busted.  Remember that old song Busted?  One of my favorite old songs which goes like this:

Busted written by Harlan Howard

The bills are all due and my baby needs shoes
But I'm busted.
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound
But I'm busted.
I got a cow that's gone dry and a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that get bigger each day
The county's gonna haul my belongings away
I'm busted.
I called brother Bill, thought I'd get me a loan
I was busted
Lord, I hate to beg like a dog for a bone
But I'm busted.
But Bill said that "There ain't a thing I can do,
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu,
And I was just thinkin' about callin' on you,
I'm busted."
Now Lord, I'm no thief, but a man can go wrong
When he's busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone
I'm busted.
The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family's gotta pack up and go
Where I'll make a living, the Lord only, knows
I'm busted.

Love that song.  I am going to have to see if I can find it to put it here on my blog on Mixpod.

Other than all of the above nonsense, I am in for the day as it is too darn cold to be outside.  The weather is supposed to moderate and be in the 40s by Monday which is good as I have to go for a fasting lab early Monday morning.  I hope you all have a great weekend.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Beth

  3. It was 76 degrees here today....toooooooo hot for January. I pity us this summer. We will probably roast again. I remember that song from when I was a kid. I think I must have heard it on the radio. It IS a good song! I think if it was 8 below zero here, I'd have to get online and pay my bills. I don't know how you do it!!!

  4. I don't know the song though I could recognise it if I heard it. It sounds liks a blues tune though I'm guessing it's more country. Then again it could be a country blues tune. Now I'm babbling.

  5. Hello Beth, thanks for calling, We're not supposed to feed the horses and I don't but many holiday makers do, and it encourages them to get too near cars and they learn not too respect them and that can be fatal.I had to come on here to post Beth as my publish button won't work.

  6. Glad things are okay and you got out a bit. The snow and ice are melting slowly, but still so heavy that trees are falling on roads and cars. The temp rose above freezing, but we have storms of rain and high winds predicted for every day next week here in the northwest. At least we can drive when we need to in rain. Now they expect much flooding, but that shouldn't effect us at our location. You take care and enjoy! Bertieblue

  8. You would think that I of all people would remember that song, but I don't. It's cold and snowy here. I'm anxious for spring even tho this winter has been good to us.

  11. Twin, I love that song! Glad you have the words down here. It's become the mantra for the Country now that all our jobs are out of here and gone to other Countries.

    Thundering and lightening here. It is very like early Spring weather here since Fall. Constant rain, thunderstorms, not hardly any winter ti be seen. Oh it's cold many times but nothing to write home about.

    Wierd weather these past few years. xoxox
