Plans for Tomorrow

Alatariel decided this evening that she didn't really want to go the feis in Ft. Smith. The one friend she wanted to see dance is not competing. That took too much fun out of it.

Instead, I'm going to drag her through the antique/junk stores in Jenks, and I want to check out some thrift stores that I spotted in Tulsa. Somewhere along the way, I've promised to take her to a couple of libraries to browse.

Speaking of Jenks, I really need to visit my craft booth. I'm just not enamored with it of late. All my Fenton finds are still sitting on my piano. I much prefer them there as opposed to sitting in someone else's house. I bought them to resell, however, so I suppose I should get motivated and take them in.

I talked to my mother today. I believe she is more irrational than when she left here last spring. Her conversation was full of railing against men who she believes are only out for sex. In the past few years, she has become more and more.... how to describe it.... convinced that all men are sexual predators and only want to get in her britches. I no longer trust her to be alone with my daughter. There's no telling what she'll say (and she's already said plenty). We won't be seeing her Thanksgiving, and unless she comes here, we won't be seeing her at Christmas. She's the one who moved... I'm not making the drive to visit her. She also told me that, three times a week, she drives to Tulsa to see a doctor who is working on her back. That means that three times a week, she is 5.5 miles from my house and she never bothers to stop.

I also talked to my step-MIL who is a dear sweet woman. We firmed up the plans for Thanksgiving and figured out what we would contribute for dinner. One of the items will be queso & chips. Fadler's has 32 oz cans of Rotel and 5 lb bricks of Velveeta. Yummm. I can taste it already! Won't be dieting on November 22, fer sher.

I love wind farms. It's not safe for me to drive in a wind farm area. I watch the turbines and forget about the road. I may someday end up in the ditch.

I'd love to have a house where I could sit on the porch and look out across this landscape. How cool that would be.

We watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest tonight. Hubby refused to watch it. Alatariel said it was boring. Bah. Guess I'm the only one who gets goose bumps at the end of the movie.
