2008 thank goddess.
let's see. it's been 11 days and i have had my house refinanced, new gutters installed, a mammogram and a physical. i'm healthy by the way. even though i ate every sugar product in grabbing distance for the last 2 months, my sugar levels were great and my cholesterol was better than average. the doctor said that i must have good genes. "yes i do" i replied. i come from a loonnnng line of farmers who ate nothing but potatoes, corn and bread and of course some veggies and probably more pork than beef. thank goddess again. i love me some bread and potatoes. and by the looks of it-processed sugar. and this week i replaced the inner workings of my toilet with a little help from bf brad.

last week i attended the future planning commission meeting for rutherford county. i received a letter in the mail letting me know that there was going to be a meeting about a zoning change for my neighborhood and since i lived 500 of the change it was required by law to inform me. some body wanted to put in a "junk yard" on 16 acres of wooded land inside my neighborhood which is called on the map "LAZY ACRES". it was very important for us to attend this first meeting. 10 households showed up. which is a lot considering there are only around 35-40 house's. mr. junk yard man was the first to speak. he explained what he was wanting to do with the land. it was going to be a dismantling area for cars. a very nice modern facility. surrounded by a tall closed fence. working hours would be normal business hours and HUGE trucks would be bringing the cars in daily for dismantling. oh yeah i think they were going to crush them there too. several people lined up to talk against the change. it's a neighborhood where children play and people walk and both streets are a dead ends. guinea hens room from house to house not a lot of traffic and feels safe. NO MISTER JUNK YARD MAN. i was the last to talk cause after i sat down. mr. junk yard man got back up and said that he wasn't for it now and he withdrew his request. LAZY ACRES voice was heard saying OH BUT NO, PRINCESS, no one thinks that's a good idea. i would like to think that mr. junk yard man had no idea about the big picture, but after hearing the people who lived there talk realized that it wasn't a good thing.

until next time
