Monday, Monday – There’s An Entire Song About It…

by oceangrrrl

Whew!!!!! What a busy day today! It’s nice being back in the car all ready to get my sleep on! I never really figured just how comfy and cozy my car would really be. I still need to get some sort of covering for my back window, but thankfully it’s tinted enough to where you can’t see in without a light on inside. At least that’s what I tell myself for now.

Monday! Holiday season! Craziness!!!! Work is actually far busier than ever at this time of year. Normally there’s a Christmas/holiday season lag in the railroad industry. It will be crazy busy until January. So weird. Not that I am complaining. Oh no no no! It’s just strange. I actually enjoy being super busy. Makes the time fly by a bit faster. 🙂

Had girls night at miss D’s house. She cooked me dinner for the first time! It was delicious! That is definitely one of the major things I miss. I miss hosting my dinner/pizza nights. It was always fun to have a couple of friends over for a night of great food and beer and wine and watching weird YouTube videos on my Xbox. I can’t do any of those things unless I cook at a friend’s house. My Xbox is packed away. 😦
No kitchen gadgets. It’s sad. Maybe a slight bit pathetic.

I know there are some who would like me to talk more about my food experiences so far while living out of my car, but with the holidays around the corner and in my face, I will be waiting until after Thanksgiving prior to trying anything healthy and new, and then I’ll take a week off for Christmas/New Year. Just letting you know. Trust me, there are weird shakes for me to try soon. You know who you are and what I am referring to. 😉

Maybe it’s Q&A time? Is there something you are curious about when it comes to living in a car? Maybe you want to know what’s in the random drawers? How I transport any items I go shopping for? Ask me whatever you want! I’ll answer it! 🙂

So on that note, as it begins to get cooler and cooler in my car, it’s time for me to get under some blankets and drift off to dreamland. Sweet dreams, and thank you for taking the time to read my nonsense. I hope it makes you laugh. Well, at least I hope it makes you smile. Good night. 🙂

Hanging Up The Lights

by oceangrrrl

So I have totally not been in my car all weekend! Friday and Saturday I stayed at my mom’s. Tonight I am staying at my dad’s. Not that I mind staying in my car. The weather is perfect for it, but why pass up a floor/bed that’s offered to you? It is quite a bit more roomy. Just sayin. 😉

Friday was just a typical day at work, drove to mom’s, my sis made chicken alfredo for dinner, and we hung out and watched a movie. Standard dinner and a movie night at her house. Always love those! Saturday, well, it rained. All day! Blech! Typical lazy day. Didn’t do much really. Ended up going turkey day shopping and had to run some errands. No biggie. Spent some much needed quality time with my hairy kids. I think they miss me, and I know I miss them. I miss walking in the door after a day at work, and they would all come downstairs to greet me. I miss the little balls of fur all curled up around me when I went to bed at night. I don’t miss stepping on the random offerings of hairball and food puke, like cold, squishy land mines of nastiness. Gross! Even now I can feel it between my toes! Sorry. Moving on.

This morning was a good day for a brunch of bacon, fried eggs and toast. So delicious! Had a slight issue with the drain for the washing machine when I decided to do a load of laundry. Nothing like draining and then tossing buckets of water out the back door! Mom needs a new washer that doesn’t use 20+ gallons per load. Insanity!!! Whatever. I still got my clothes done!

After all that fun time, I headed up to my dad’s to assist with the putting up of Christmas lights. Almost got it done, but we were under severe time restrictions and didn’t get the last two strands. So close! My dad’s house has some very high eaves, and the roof angle is quite steep. I definitely tested my balancing skills on the ladders. I found two teeny tiny brown snakes that were probably hibernating and were disturbed by ladders and feet. They were so cute! So I picked them up to move them out of harms way. I am honestly worried if they are going to live. Seriously! My dad got to witness my oh-hell-no attitude with wasps flying by my face. Exactly! Oh hell no! No wasps by my head! Dad and I also got a shit ton of fiberglass in our arms. That makes the day pleasant. :-/

Anyway, so after all that, the church’ my dad goes to had an early turkey day dinner. It was pretty good! Ate a pretty good meal with a great group of people. 🙂

On that note, I am to bed! Good night and sweet dreams!

Walk, Eat, Walk, Beer, Walk, Beer, Walk, Eat, Walk, Walk, Walk…

by oceangrrrl

So I got to Boston late Friday night. I was too tired to write anything. Last night I was planning on writing something short and sweet, but I had far too many “beverages” and fell asleep. It was a rough morning. I made it to Hamden, CT this evening though! One of the weirdest things out here though, is that with everything being further north, the sun sets even earlier!!!!! It is throwing me off!!! It feels like 9 o’clock at night when it’s only 6! I swear the sun goes down by 4:30!!!

Anyway, enough about the randomness. Let’s talk Saturday in Boston!!! So I looked up random things to do and asked everyone who had been what they recommended over the last week. Lots of possibilities for sure! So I ended up walking a bit of the Freedom Trail, went to Faneuil Hall, took a Boston harbor cruise, walked around the U.S.S. Constitution, walked around the U.S.S. Cassin Young, ate a late lunch at Legal Seafood, had a beer at the Granary Tavern, had a beer at Cheers, walked around the markets near Faneuil Hall, saw where the city Christmas tree was being prepped, got lost walking back to my hotel thanks to my phone not putting my location anywhere near where I was, and ended the night at the hotel bar with a few Irish coffees. That’s right. I said a few. Hence the reason I didn’t quite get around to writing anything last night. I think I squeezed in a good amount of activities for Saturday.

Today, after I checked out of the hotel, thank god they will hold your bags for the day, I decided to grab a chai latte at Starbucks and just go walking. I ended up walking over to little Italy and exploring that area a bit. That was a great spot! I wasn’t hungry when I went through there, but next time I won’t be able to resist the urge to eat some amazing Italian food! Since I forgot to ride the random carousel close to the aquarium yesterday, I rode it today. There were no horses on this thing! So I rode an owl. Went strolling around through the shops again, grabbed a Philly cheesesteak for lunch, started walking towards the hotel and ended up shopping with the locals in the Beacon Hill area. Didn’t get anything, but had a great time just walking around everywhere.

After all that, I loaded up my crap and headed off to the airport to get the rental car. So now I am in CT, about to head to bed. I am tired!

So good night and sweet dreams.

Brrrr, frickin’ cold!

by oceangrrrl

It is going to be a chilly night. I can already tell you that. As soon as the engine was shut off and the heater was no more, I could feel the cold start to creep in, almost seeping through the windows. No wind blowing to help me sleep tonight. Just cold. Lots of cold…

On a warmer note, I took the change I had in a jar to the bank today. Nearly $300! Yay!!!! Boston spending money!!!!!!! I’m sure that won’t last long. :-/. All I know is that I am going to the original Cheers, the Freedom Trail, and maybe a place called Legal Seafood. I’m excited!!!!! There’s just so much to do, and I want to see how much I can cram in! 🙂

Tonight is going to be short and sweet. I have to be up super super early, and I am tired. Tomorrow is going to be a long and extremely busy day! So on that note, have a good night!

Mom, Your Roof Is Fixed.

by oceangrrrl

So after work today I drove down to help my mom with her roof again. It was cold. I did not want to be on a roof this evening in the cold wind, but she Obi Wan’ed me into coming down. I was her only hope. Yeah. Mmmhmm.

Sooooooooo, I’m just staying at my mom’s tonight. I mean, it’ll be warmer, and besides, she made me chili. I am super full! It was really good! Me=happy. 😀 Here I am, ready to pass out, with two cats laying on me and one to my left. I miss my hairy babies!!!!

On that note I am off to sleep. I’ve got an early day tomorrow. Good night and sweet dreams!

Cold Front Coming In

by oceangrrrl

I just felt like being an introvert this evening after plans with a friend fell through. So what do I do? I call my mom. Then I go buy some sake! If you know your sake, you know the best sake is actually served chilled. Thank you, 007, for making people think you drink it hot! Not that there’s anything wrong with that! I like my hot, cheap sake with a hint of Midori, wonderfully called a kryptonite due to the pretty green hue. Add chambord instead, and you’ve got a purple haze. There ya go! Alcohol lesson for the night. But seriously, I’m enjoying a pleasantly carbonated sake called Hana-Awaka, or in English, Sparkling Flower. This stuff is good!!!!!!

So, anyway, back to car stuff. I was bored. I felt like being my usual, introverted self. I figured why go be alone around others, when I can happily lounge around in my jammies, drink my sake, write on the ol’ blog, and maybe watch some Netflix on my phone? I mean, really? Why the hell not!!! It’s comfy and warm in here. Curtains are up and blocking out the world. The wind is howling outside. Inside, it’s nice, and I find myself quite content. 🙂

There really is a cold front coming in though. I can’t wait!!! Although I left my super warm sweatpants at my mom’s on Sunday. :-/ I have my warm, wool winter knee-high socks to keep my footsies warm!!!!! Oh how I have missed them!!!! They’re really snowboarding socks, but they work great even when I’m not cruising down the mountain. Whoa! Crazy wind shaking the car! I am going to sleep like a frickin’ rock!!!! Yeah!!!

Oh! Something I love about the sake I’m drinking tonight, it says that it’s a refreshing after work drink! I love the way they think!!!!

Back on track again, so the battery in my home keeps dying if I leave anything left to drain it at all. I used to be able to leave crap plugged in overnight and had no issues. Now it’s ten seconds and the car says NOPE! Just what I need, having to go out and buy a new battery. I just replaced a burned out headlight last week! Argh!!!!

By the way, I am curious to know who reads this shit. Leave me a comment with your name or even just your initials. I don’t know that many people to where I can’t figure it out. Also, just follow me, and you’ll get a notice about any new posts. 🙂 Well happy evenings to you!

Arrivederci!!!

Sunday Fun Day

by oceangrrrl

Well, it has definitely been a good weekend. Got to do some roofing with my mom and spent time with my hairy babies: Cali, Harley and Baby Kitty. Rewatched the Boondock Saints movies along with Rocky Horror Picture Show, which I found out was released on VHS on Nov. 8, 1990. Pretty interesting. Reorganized my car a bit. It feels a bit roomier now, and my drawers are a bit more conveniently placed. Much better. 🙂

I did take some pictures of my home so you could get an idea of how it’s setup, but I have been doing this from my phone, and I don’t know how to load the photos onto the blog from here. I’ll figure it out. Just be patient. It shall be done!

Well, I am keeping it short and sweet this evening, as I am tired. And with that, good night and sweet dreams.

I think I just figured out the picture thing. You lucky dogs! 😉 G’night!
