Just a word about the Blog "As the World Burns"(36)

I had a little time between posts. I will try and get better about posting. Some times life is just too mundaine to take and even typing is exasting. I get home from work between 5 and 6 depending on if I work out, at which time I walk the dog for 1 to 3 miles. I procced this making dinner. I prefer to make this from scratch because I am eating healthy and dieting along with the work outs to lose weight (I am down 12lbs at the time of this post) we sit around the table for about 30 mins just talking (me and the roomates, the husband works away from home so he is not in the picture except on weekends) I have to prepare my lunch for the next day.

“As the World Burns” (Ep.35) Pool, Pond, & Garage Oh My

On this episode of “As the World Burns” we return to find our Heroine struggling with finding room to Art in the garage. She is afflicted with intense control issue of needing everything to find a home and not just get moved around again and again. She doesn’t like to touch an item more than once. When an item is touched, she wants it to be brought to its home, where it will live. As such She managed to put away 7 plus boxes. She also transferred games to a shelf in the dining room/ game room. She took a desk that was living in the Mural room and rehomed it to the Garage as a Lamp Working Station. The Garage can now we walked though.                The Princess, rescued frogs from the pool in the back yard. Locks of Dred, and Sea Jay Bird drained the pool in preparation for the repair work to get it up and running. They also fixed and got the pond and water fall cleaned up. They power washed the cement grass, and pulled the weeds and vines. The back yard looks FABULOUSE!Tune in next time and see what project in going on, on “As the World Burns”

“As the World Burns” (Ep. 34) Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and its Spryng Thyme!

On the last episode of “As the World Burns” our heroine was sick She has finally gotten a little better, as she went from flue too, a cold too, her spring allergies (those suck, but I know how to deal them).
Mean while, there are 3 Barking trees that are flowering in the yard. The heroine has filled 4 plastic whiskey barrel planters and seeded them with herbs and has 4 more to do with more Herbs (3 to 4 per different herbs pot).

The Galant bard brought the antique treadle that was his great grandmothers (from his’ father’s, father’s grandmother if I remember correctly) and the industrial sewing machine home from the storage unit. Then he set to arranging the bed room to house three sewing stations. (one is the serging area)
The toads or frogs that the Princess was all worried about lived in the pool all winter and now are serenading her.
The Heroines magic typing boxes mystical powers are fading and so to make it talk to the interweb it must be wires to it. The Heroine ordered green cabling because there is no way to hide it over the door of the Palermo room, so she made it green and added silk flowers to it so it becomes part of the mural.

Tune in next time to see if the Heroine finishes the 9’ X 9’Game of Goose board game and, game token bags for people who are new to SCA Gaming.

“As the World Burns” The Mastering the Bed Room Ep.33

 

Today on As the World Burns, The Heroine come too not well because she didn’t have coffee, to find the Galant bard mopping the kitchen (sexy) shortly after the Heroine had coffee because the Galant Bard went out to pick her up tea bags and brought her Blonde coffee (being sick sucks but being a little spoiled makes it not quite so bad) we find the Galant Bard and the Heroine going though boxes in the bedroom. These are the remains of stuff cleaned at the cleaners because of the house fire. During this endeavor the Galant Bard had to make the Heroine go sit down and rest as her head cold had gotten the best of her multiple times. He brought her boxes of books to go though. The Heroine realizes she needs another bakers rack in the kitchen for cook books and stuff. The Galant Bard rearranged the bed room as the Heroine wanted it, then fed them both and put the Heroine down for a nap. The Heroine found the new lay out for the bed room very restful. There will be room for three sewing machines in the Bedroom. The industrial machine, the Viking and then, the serging station, were one of the three sergers will be set up and the other two will be a shelf threaded but ready to switch out at a moment’s notice. The rest of the sewing machines will be set checked then closeted for sewing parties. And One that belongs to the Side Witch will be set up in her room. But first they must finish the going though boxes. Tune in next time to see if they manage to go through the remaining boxes of the Heroines mother’s things. 4/1/17

“As the World Burns” Sexy cleaning staff (Ep.32)

 This episode of “As the World Burns” we find the Gallant Bard scrubbing the 2 main rooms of bathing, much the Heroines pleasure (nothing sexier than a man Cleaning scrubbing). 

 The Princess was in desperate need of pants for work and so had to go and procure 5 pairs. 

 The Heorine made Raman noodle flavor packs for the Millet rice noodles that she got at the big box store, because she is allergic to MSG). She used dried veggies and a dried chicken soup mix or beef broth mix to make the seasoning packs. 

 Thurs, the Heroine went food shopping with La Grenouille. There she spent way too much and bought way too much, normally the house only stocks one to two weeks’ worth of food. so they have most every thing they should need that is not fresh to build meals for a while though there will need to be 

 She has the menu built for the week. The week is promising to be back to normal and so cold weather foods are in. From the Jewish cook book Mushroom barley soup is Mon, Pasta & salad on Tue, Chicken soup on Wed, Beef stew on Thurs., and nightshade less Marinara for Fri. This should leave left overs for the whole weekend. The heroine has plenty of work lunch stuffs to bring so that she can make the best choices at work when she gets hungry, and there will be yummy left overs to bring as well she is looking forward to Mondays meal already.  

 Other then that the Weekend was very mundane, dog food bought, laundry washed.

 This concludes this episode of "As the World Burns"

"As the Workd Burns" how to hunt a sofa (Ep. 31)

On this episode of As the World Burns, our Heroine  & the Gallant Bard, are joined by the Side Witch and Super  Dork. They found a secret lair of hotel furniture  and casino  cast offs. There the Side Witch found a recliner to go in her room and make a reading nook. And the Bard and Heroine found a couch, a leather computer chair and two night stands.  They cleaned the living room and parlor and placed all the new items meant for use there and the house becomes more of a home.  The next day they bought air filters for the family cars and replaced them. Then they cut and re hung the crown molding in the Princesses kitchen. They bought and assembled a wood working bench too. It was a productive weekend.

"As the World Burns" Kidnapping in Jax & wing backed chairs fly in to the parlor (Ep.30)

This week on “As the World Burns” Our Heroine left out of the port of flying machines that eats luggage, in the city of Louis the Saint. She flew to Jax,Fl to complete a kidnapping. The tools for this involved were as follows, frequent flyer miles, Uber, and a rental truck. Aiding and abetting were carried out by The Galen Bard and the Church of Latter day Saint (Thank you guys) The Heroine, did indeed successfully Kidnap one human and one dog and one cat. (MAH HA HA HA!)
 She Brought the longtime sister/friend MaryMoon and her 2 furry 4 footed companions to come join the family. (I think we now qualify as a zoo, 3 cats, 3 dogs, 1 dragon, and 1 python and any number of mice depending of the feeding day, one of which the locks of Dred has grown attatched to and named Stewart and so can not be food)
 Then while looking for a nicer more functional bed frame, our Heroine was able to find not 1 but 2 wing back chairs in a shade of Blue Chambray (for men that is work shirt blue). They match the rugs and go with the walls in the Living Room / Parlor perfectly. She is still hunting for the perfect couch.
 Turn in next time to see if the Heroine fines the couch of her dreams. If the Heroine gets all the Episodes moved to the other blog page, and whether the animals come to a friendly agreement of who can use which water bowls and food bowls and cat boxes, on your favorite show “As the World Burns”.

“As the World Burns”

On this episode “As the World Burns” today and this year our Heroine has set the goal of the year to take care to improve the castle and in every castle there is a chapel or temple, and the Body is a home and temple of the soul. As such the Heroine and Side Witch have joined a, temple improvement center together. She has the goal of attending 3 times a week, and so far she has, every week done so. Dispite the Evil cooking fairies keep selling her crack, (I ate a whole box of savanna smiles yesterday) the Heroine is working on her temple improvements. Today she upped her weights on all of the upper body machines and did an extra 10 min on the bike. At home she has doubled the walk distance for the Big Black Furry Beast, Earthquake, and when she has her grand-dog, Terror from the Ankles Down, Aftershock. Within this mission, she has an improvement co-conspirator squad of other likeminded folks (and like bodied), such as The Birdie of Silliness and, The Gillie Flower, who are doing home temple improvements too. (Supper friend go! Team form the shape of anything other than round, because I am done with round, YAY TEAM!) Team members help cheer one another on to get out and workout.  Sometimes simply making one another change into gym clothes so that it is one less excuse. So follow our heroine as her castle improves. Check in next time on “As the World Burns”

“As the World Burns” Shopping (28)

“As the World Burns”

The Galant Bard did install that door to the Princesses’ suite, and true to form she went right out bought colored chalk and drew art on here side and Penises on our side. (I won that bet)       

This weekend on “As the World Burns” Shopping is done and the Tall Ranger make the sink down stairs work so the Princess will have one less thing to complain about. (Love you Baby) our Heroine and the Side Witch, explored the land of Louis the Saint. First stop was a time travel stop which resulted in the Side Witch getting a top hat. (Vintage Haberdashery Costume Shop · St. Louis, MO they rent and sell and buy, vintage clothes from the 80’s and older).

We then flew over to try and go to Zaftig LLC, however they were gone, out of business, on that same block we found the Land of my childhood TV ( Retro TV Toys and Collectibles Toy Store · St. Louis, MO) and a Strawberry Shortcake juice glass is now in the kitchen matching the canister set that she bought when she was 9 years old with receipts she saved from A&P.

They then shopped the thrift shops around there, alas nothing found them that had to go home with them. Then they flew over to the Racks of Red with the goal of work clothes for the Heroine. She have not rebuilt her clothing for work since the fire. Many a person has given her clothes, but they were not clothes that would work for her work. (Red Racks Thrift Stores (Creve Coeur, MO) Thrift or Consignment Store · Creve Coeur, MO). There the Heroine was found by many items because they were having a ½ off sale. Frames that will go around the Princesses light switches a few more fun bowls for princess, a rack for her silverware, 5 plus pairs of pants and 3 shirts. Baskets for storing things in, and bunches of other things. By the time they were done, there was no time to reach the Mart of Art. So fueling and home they headed, stopping to eat at the Barrel full of Crackers. The Side Witch talked the Heroin into one more purchase for the princess, firewood (sigh). The Heroine again had to rescue her Galant Bard from the port of flying machines that eat luggage. They then came home with Mexican Phone Co Food for the band of hooligans attending a privet concert given by the Princess and staring The Locks of Dred in the yard of back.

The following day The Galant Bard helped the Heroine cute underlayment for the new scatter rugs that the heroine finally found and liked. The Dog approves. Then the Heroine folded plastic bags like paper footballs. And stored them in the dog walking table. (don’t judge me they take up less room) Mean while the Galant Bard did magic and performed an exorcism on the electric mower that was bought the weekend before the house fire but didn’t work since the house fire and made it work. (YAY! My Hero!)

"As the World Burns" Painting down stairs door (27)

Today on” As the World Burns” the Galant Bard received a surprise package. Within its folds he finds a green and purple tunic from none other than Miss Sandy. This was received with much joy for what it was, who it came from and the thought and love it was made with. The carpet was relayed in the hall way down stairs around the new wall and door frame, which led to the door needing to be removed and shortened to clear the carpet, which meant it needed to be painted on the fresh cut. The Heroine when and bought carpet underlayment for the scatter rugs that she searched for 5 months to find. Tonight there was an easy cherry pie made with a ready made cracker crust and oatmeal and brown sugar crumble ontop. The Galant Bard and Heroine are looking forward to putting the door up tomorrow tune in tomorrow to find out why, Mah Ha Ha Ha!

Today on “As the World Burns” Our heroine came home to her Evergreen scroll that Super Dork delivered. (The Evergreen is a grant level award in the Middle Kingdom of the SCA for Arts and Sciences, want to know what I do go back into this blog and see some of the stuff I have made)

 The Princess had her Bea and their friend The Explorer carry the couch I had in my living room down to her Living room. Meaning that a new couch is in order. (this was ok-ed not random marauding while still marauding.) The Princess also cooked dinner on her new stove she has a certain happiness about her with a stove and a real couch. She raided from the Heroines kitchen two forks a wok and wok strainer, the bowls she has always claimed and dish soap and a pot that the Heroine got as a wedding gift that is 15 months older then the Princess. She also got oil for cooking. It must be nice to live below a benevolent overlord. The Tall Ranger stopped by with 4 mini rangers who amused the large fur baby in a game of tag out back. She was happy they came and played and happy when they left. The Viscous Wiener killed the squeaker in the snake and Heroine dug out another that had been rescued and sewed it in WHILE STANDING so that the wiener could have it back but not have to play tug with it while sewing.  So ends this episode of “As the World Burns” Tune in next time because no one ever knows what will happen next.

As The World Burns X-mas Eve, & start of Hanukkah (20)

On "As the World Burns" our heroine is sipping wine and kicking back after deep frying Scandinavian Rosette cookies and Polish Chrusciki cookies. The Galant Bard installed the shower into the bath tub unit so now there is a shower upstairs that works. No more traveling into the basement Apartment for showers the tenant (daughter) will be thrilled. Dinner was delivered from the Chinese food restaurant and gifts have all been wrapped and are under the tree and our Happy couple are getting ready to fill and put out stockings so they are ready for morning since the Daughter and Boyfriend are out at a concert that boyfriend is doing.  For the 8 nights of Hanukkah Our Heroine is listing 8 virtues & Vices that she has and to work on in the coming year. Let’s start with the list of all of them

Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics /Table of Virtues and Vices

The Seven Contrary Virtues which are specific opposites to the Seven Deadly Sins: Humility against pride, Kindness against envy, Abstinence against gluttony, Chastity against lust, Patience against anger, Liberality against greed, and Diligence against sloth.

Tonight I pick a easy one fearful/Practical/cynical
I waiver into Cynical a lot especialy after the Election of Repubical to controle the congress and a moron white suppremisist and his side kick the anti christ in the White House. zThe challenge I face with being practical is to not be so much so that I am blinded into submition. The hate legislation doesnt effect me directly so why care. But since it effects my family and freinds and even strangers I do care. But it is hard to not be fearful. Anti weomen legislation hurts my and my child and my neice, anti queer legislation hurts my son and Neice and freinds, anti health care effects my daughter directly and so many of my freinds and family. Pro aubuse of the justicst system treating people of non white skin color effects my friends. Anti fair wages then anti food stamps leave some of my freinds with no food and the food banks are running short. there is a lot to hope for because I want to work on being Practical and not fearful and Cynical.

So the Heroine had to make brown sugar (2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses to 1 cup of sugar) Our Heroine was told that a paint sample chip wouldn’t work well because they sample was too bumpy. So she nailed the color by mixing two paint samples one to light the other to dark, together. Fabulous she can almost not tell were the new pain is and she painted it. The Gallant Bard lead the light instillation project and made sure to get everything needed for it and have a plan of attack. He also went with the heroine to stores and to get his tire fixed. He followed the heroine around the Fabric store with a plastic skeleton of a bird tormenting her. The thing came home with them.
