Ketch-Up

alright, i sure love this blogging idea. i have lots to say, i suppose i will need to be cautious. those who know me would caution me to not use anyone's actual name or put to word most of what happens in my mind. (good luck me)
i live in oklahoma, where the wind goes sailing through the trees......, with my audio engineering husband. we moved here this past may from upstate ny. (they are having to scrape frost off their windows now...) i am doing my best to find the way from our driveway to the local supermarkets and places of interest. i do not work, most of my time is spent working on a project, reading, or catching up on one of the 70+ dvds we own. to some this is a large number, to others this is a mere pittance. nuf said.
i am singing in a choir at our church (okay not singing yet, but more like practicing a lot. with no clue when i will be allowed to actually sing with them) and i enjoy it.
we have two cats. one - bernice - a black and white 6 or 7 year old (man, she may be even older than that, but i am not sure) and, two - dude - a yellow tabby with adorable yellow/brown okay okay, amber eyes. sheesh. we believe he is (lets see brought him home july 2nd and think he was 1 - 2 weeks then, actually he may have been a few days old...), well thurs he will be 13 to 17 weeks old. (how can a decent person not know the age of their beloved pets????? i am shamed). they are actually great for each other and we enjoy watching them "play". it is more like dude tears bernice apart. he bites her just to make her scream, it is such an unpleasant sound, but we both laugh and point our fingers at them.
we have purchased our first home and are in the midst of "making it ours". you know where you move in and paint everything and start planning the remodeling projects. we do a lot of planning and talking. i paint. husband does tons of stuff inside and outside, on the cars, etc. i paint. oh oh oh - i put the trim along the base of our walls in our newly painted office. it is not attached, but it will be. sooner or later... so i clean, some. and read.
i very much enjoy cooking, except that i am usually the only one eating now. husband has late hours. yesterday i was making salsa and i cut up some peppers, cleaning them out with my thumb nails. then i remembered what happened to a friend so i put on latex gloves (actually sealing in the pepper acid..) and continued to cut veggies for about 1.5 hours. (like that, good use of a decimal point huh..) when i took the gloves off my thumbs were numb. i washed several times with soap and warm water, even tried cool water. i think i made it worse. got a bit up my nose - not in the eyes courtesy of info from the liu family, kept those fingers away from my eyes you betchya. well now i know why pepper spray is a sound product for stopping some would-be attackers. soo note to parents - don't let your children put peppers in their eyes, or up their noses. (i actually think i am still trying to get some of that acid off my fingers. keep noticing burning when i get my thumbs near my eyes.) DUH BECCA, DON'T PUT YOUR FINGER IN YOUR EYE.
sooo where to go after that. 'cuz i keep finding i have so much to say after i post. and i don't want to have 40 entries for this first day...
guess i will say night for now. have to pick husband up.
