Well, Stuff Just Happens

I’m sitting in my den having some computer lessons via texts from Lindsey Ellen! The girl knows everything!!! This ‘cut and paste’ thing is just crazy! I have been trying to figure it out for years now….still no luck. Well, there’s always a first! I don’t have wi-fi at home so I go to Hardee’s each time I need to do anything.( Let me give a shout out to them—they are GREAT!!!) However, I really want to be able to write at home some…so I am having a lesson. I have cleaned the house, done the laundry, and now I have some time before I get Walt from school. (Still can’t believe my baby is in high school!!) Now, it’s all I can do NOT to turn my DVR recording of “Days of Our Lives”!! I have to wait though until the sun goes down and it’s not so hot out. I get so mad , I want to smoke …so I walk! (good idea huh?) My girl, Sami , is not only NOT going to marry Ej, SHE IS GOING TO SHOOT HIM… IN THE HEAD!!!! Oh my word! Now I’m a huge EJAMI fan( Ej and Sami fan for those who don’t speak “Days”) so this is rather upsetting!!! So, I am going to wait until the entire bunch can watch it with me. Fun yelling with others at the TV and then I don’t feel so ridiculous. In “Days of our Lives”world, a shot in the head will be cleared up in no time as if you had had a common cold, IF you are a vital character(Once, Philip lost his leg in the war..but he must have grown a new one because they never mention it and he no longer walks with a limp..so a head wound is a piece of cake) But who knows if they’ll end up together! He won’t remember, of course the amnesia card will be used, but if Papa Stephano finds out Samantha Brady shot Elvis Jr….oh me! And so on and so on….I know, I know…my name is Lori Harrington, and I have an addiction!! Well, my entire week has just been off it seems. I love, love , love to bathe. Nothing is much better than a good bath to me. I always have to adjust the water after I actually get in. Well, the other day, I was letting the water get good and hot and --BAM--the ENTIRE SPOUT shot off and a straight stream of water was just coming at me! Scared me TO DEATH!!!!!!!!!! Well, when my heart calmed down, I did enjoy my bath.Then the other night, went to Hardee’s(woo hoo) and sat in parking lot and got on my computer. Guess who didn’t turn key off all the way.Yep, me. So, you can see where this is going, just having an off week.(My Hank has many jewels in his crown for living with me…do you know how many times I have called him in the late hour because of car difficulties?) Once I got stranded at Tupelo Wal -Mart Super Center … LATE! I was not tired so about 9 pm , I decided I needed to go get some things for Walt’s party he was having the next day. Well, Hank said sure and went to bed. (Bless him, he needs to rest when he can)Got north of town and realized I had no gas.(Remember, I said GAS) So, I stopped at a quick stop on the outskirts of town. I may have come to my senses had it not been for the AWFUL filth coming from the young man’s truck beside me!!! Nasty rap music blaring ….DISGUSTING!!! Well, he went to pay and LEFT HIS TRUCK AND MUSIC ON….LOUDLY!!! Well, I stopped, went in to pay , and he and I came face to face at register. I thought this was my chance to speak for everyone everywhere for noise and filth pollution!! So…I asked him” Are you a Christian?” He said yes he was. I said that I bet God wasn’t too happy about that music because the Holy Spirit inside me was about to have a fit! He just smiled and walked out. I think the clerk may have been afraid I was going to get her next. I smiled the entire time but still think these young people saw me as “the church lady” from SNL back in the day.(Dana Carvey) Oh well, I turned my music up very loud and off I went! ( NO-NOT RAP) Got to Wal- Mart, stayed for hours- Had a blast- No interruptions- Felt so grown up!! Got to my truck,MY DIESEL TRUCK, at 12;30 am. Guess what????? Yep, would not crank! Having no clue why, I called my Hank!(Did I mention the jewels in his crown-No wonder he has to go to bed early…I may make him tired)I had jumper cables so I went inside and found an employee to help jump me off. No luck. So, at 1:30 am, my Hank pulls up in parking lot. I had no idea that massive truck had 2 batteries.(the employee didn’t either.) Miraculously, we cranked the truck and made it home safely.( about 3 am--I would like to add how much I love my husband! He smiled…. Never fussed once… That man must really love me) Anyway, it wasn’t until the next day, when the truck wouldn’t crank- AGAIN- just what the problem was. As I told Hank step by step about the night and was sharing my moment of Christian witnessing ---his mouth DROPPED!!! I was thinking he was pretty impressed with my witnessing skills until he responded with “You put GAS in a DIESEL????” I said” oops.” He found out a few days later to put transmission fluid into the gas tank and it cleared it right up . Never had another moments trouble!! (that was a close one) Even when it isn’t so close-- he always has had the patience of Job with me! Like the time I almost ran over myself going into the post office and forgot to put Explorer in park.Luckily, I jumped out of the way but hit the post office.(with my 3 kids in car) Thankfully no one was hurt!!! Then there was the time I knocked the post from under the carport and it rolled down the hill on side of the house that Christmas Eve. Oh , the list is endless….but looking back, I was paving the way for our daughter Kati! Next to her, my driving skills are looking good!! Marykelli says we should just wrap her in caution tape! Well, I taught her ALMOST everything she knows. Some , she came up with all by herself!! Well, I have just rambled alot and now I’m going to get my baby. (Don’t worry, I’ll drive safely) At least I tell Hank about my mishaps with the car unlike in high school when I ran off with the gas pump, glued the strip back on the Grand Prix after I hit mailbox, and went into the ditch with someone in the trunk. I have come a long way!! (I KNOW my parents were exhausted!!) Sorry Mama and My Daddy! Love You! And hey- --you were right as usual-- ONLY Hank could live with me….and I’m SO THANKFUL FOR THAT because that’s the only one I ever want!

That’s all I know for now,
