Welcome to The Fifth Level of Hell. I work in THE FIFTH LEVEL OF HELL.  So lets call the spot I work in: Fifth Level of Hell Cantina.  I spend my days working in a dingy cavern that is forevermore tinged red by the fires of hell. I, half human/half demon, have been consigned to the Fifth Level of Hell for punishment for so slight an infraction that over the centuries I have forgotten what it was.

Sometimes it is a recommendation from a friend, sometimes a review you read somewhere, sometimes an ad online catches your eye. You think, now that looks or sounds interesting. You pick up the book and next thing you know, you have another author to love. For me, it started innocently, with Twitter. Or Facebook, as the case may be. An author I already "liked" on facebook, was cross promoting

And even more, finding a new author! Then I just totally immerse myself in everything that person has written. Course, with the speed of my reading, I catch up quick and then I am reduced to waiting for the latest release.Since buying my Nook (a whole other post) I have discovered many new authors. (I spend hours scouring the B&N website and when I can afford it, buying books. My wishlist,

Not sure I can find anything to love for today. Lets recap: Have to have surgery. On Nov. 11 I will be having a hysterectomy. I guess I will be off work for 2 months. Not loving this much. The only good thing is no more birth control and no more monthly woes. Maverick losing his job. So its official. GM will close as of Dec. 23. So that means Lear will also close along with 2 other

There was a neighbor who used to tool around the neighborhood on an old moped. Been doing it for years. Now this neighbor is also one of my regular customers at the restaurant and a longtime friend of my father-in-law. One day almost two months ago he tools by the house on a new moped. Now, I don't know about my readers, but here, mopeds have suddenly gained popularity due to the

We its almost over and its been a busy one! The kids were gone to Missouri for a month, basement flooded for two months, found out Maverick (and a few thousand other people in Janesville) would be losing his job, got a moped, got a kitten, got a Wii, reconnected with an old friend....phew! Its been quite a summer. I have barely been at home. While the kids were gone Maverick worked a bit

As you may have guessed. A few of my blogs have contained references to the two puppies we brought home last year. April and May are now about 10 months old. They are doing great. I don't mention our other two dogs much. Didi and Glory, affectionately anc collectively called: The Dummies, are now Just one. Didi, our 11 yo springer spaniel passed about two weeks ago. We have had Didi since

And I finally will be going. YAY! I hate winter and this year we have gotten a lions share of it. I also suffer from winter blahs. Add to that a loss of a job, the stress of starting a new job, working six days a week at said job, and then a heavy duty bout of bronchitis for three of my four family members coinciding with a death in the family. We are finally starting to feel better and it is

Let me start the blog by saying congratulations to my hunters!! My baby boy (ok, so he's almost 13 and also almost as tall as me. What did I spawn?) got his first deer his first rifle season out. YAY CAVEBOY! He shot a Nubin Buck at 57 yds. Dropped it in one shot, no tracking! BAM! Of course Maverick got one too and the night after they got home, fresh back straps. YUMMMM!

Well...sometimes. Today I do because it is already almost 60 degrees out. Yay! The other morning, I went to let the pups out and it was 22 degrees. The morning after that...40 degrees. Crazy Wisconsin weather! Supposed to stay nice most of the week, gradually heading down to the 40's towards the end. And this week... Its hunting time again! Rifle season is almost upon us. It has been a frenzy

And here I am at work. This is my view as I look out one of the windows. Its still pretty dark out. Thats what happens when you get up at the butt crack of dawn to go to work. Ok, so how is everyone today? I am super happy because its my last day of work for a whole week. We head up north Wed. am, about 3 am. Once up North we are cut off from civilization.

But today I don't love fall so much as I did yesterday and I will be loving Missouri even more tomorrow when I am there so that is an entry for tomorrow or Fri.So onto today.

What I don't love is dropping $20 and walking out with a bag small enough to hold a sandwich. Hehehe. Thats ok though. I still got a lot for my money. Just small stuff. I am embarking on a new craft and wanted to get some things so that I could experiment. I am hoping it turns out because I am making them for a swap. Can't really go into detail though, just in case.

I am new to the whole swapping thing. But I have quickly become addicted. It all started when my Twitter Knitter group decided we should do a yarn swap. To do so we had to join a site called Swap Bot. So I joined. Filled out my profile and then decided to click around a bit. I found that most swaps require you to already have experience. A lot of them had "No Newbies" requirements. Sigh.How do

I used to get every other one off. But then one of the waitresses went off to college and my boss didn't see fit to hire a new one. So there went my every other Sunday off. I still get every other Saturday off but it just isn't the same. I never knew how much I needed those weekends off until I didn't have them anymore. So it was arranged that I get this weekend completely off. On Saturday it

The more flavor the better. I am not into black plain icky coffee. I love my caramel, chocolate, vanilla, hazelnut...any combination thereof. My most favorite coffee is a Caramel Mudd Macchiato from Mountain Mudd Coffee in Troy, Missouri. Of course being in Wisconsin, the chances to get said coffee are few and far between. As I type, I am sitting in a local coffee house. No Global Chains
