Happy New Year 🥂

finished the book I was reading, and sewed 2 bobbins worth of thread, which means I have 3 1/2 sides of binding done! AND got our room reserved in the Haunticon Omaha Room Block. went to hear Liquid Sunshine at The Smokehouse. we didn't hang till midnight. the bar was full of kids. like our kids ages. all 3 of our kids ages. I felt incredibly old. and this annoying woman kept talking to me.

a. blustery. day.

early load at work. worked till 4, then Lan's car wouldn't start, so gave her a ride to Cainsville. then home for a second and delivered the gifts to Mom and visited. she looks and feels much better, Thank Sasquatch. went to McDonald's in search of a Snickerdoodle McFlurry, but their ice cream machine is broken. sad face. home to read some on my current Bigfoot book.

my 2020 to-do list: in no particular order....make myself a voodoo doll Krampus...call Haunticon Omaha hotel...watch for Alton IL tickets on FB....could we go to Squirrel Cage jail while we're at Omaha? check days/hours...finish binding on KJ's quilt...make another t-shirt quilt...casino hotel room for concert?...is Gangster Tour still on Saturday? check....what are Holladays Sat. hours?...Birthday gift for BRENDA....update genealogy...my grandbabies...KJ's marriage...family pics for my own personal genealogy...not to blog.

The Sallie House Gateway to the Paranormal

in 1906 a legend was born in Atchison, Kansas in what is now known as the Sallie House. A young girl died in excruciating pain on the operating table and now forever haunts this accursed and evil dwelling. Join internationally renown psychic Robbie Thomas and EVP specialist, Michael Esposito as they embark upon the most haunted house in America. Genres Drama, Fantasy, Special Interest, Documentary, Science Fiction Director Lain Trimble, Scott Unruh Starring Robbie Thomas, Michael Esposito

I have met Debra and Tony Pickman and have an autographed book. I got to just talk to Tony at a ghost hunt at Ray County Museum. it was surreal.

I hate trying to book hotels by calling said hotel to get a block rate for ghost hunts...

I always get the person who has no clue and tells me to call back tomorrow morning when management is there. always. granted, it is Sunday. whatever. there are other hotels if I can't get anyone to understand what I need here. honestly.

Carnivore

This campy 1980's cult B-movie embraces the "kids alone in an old house with a monster" trope when a government experiment goes totally wrong and a creature confined in a hidden lab inside the house escapes. When some local teens show up to have a little fun, not knowing the beast is loose and watching them, the terror begins. If you dig no budget B monster movies, this film is for you. Genres Horror Director F. Joseph Kurtz, Kenneth Mader Starring Jill Adcock, Steven W. Cromie, Randy Craig

KJ had BB practice, so Zee and Gramma (she started calling me Mimi today) hung out

after he got there, he got the message that practice was cancelled. Zee and I ran the sweeper and changed sheets and took a nap. I watched Carnivore. tried to watch something else and another nap happened. Then Brenda surprised us with a quick visit and a Christmas gift. she left gifts for Mom, John, and Lisa for me to deliver. need to remember to get her a birthday gift since I didn't get her a Christmas gift....I took a shower in my own bathroom and luxuriously showered and shaved and put on my new jammie pants from Katie. I bought the first Xmas present for 2020. actually, the 3rd, I think. I ordered a book and then signed up for a Kickstart for a book....but I have a lot of grandbabies to buy gifts for, and only 362 or so days left to shop...I meant to call about the hotel block for the convention but time got away from me. Zee goes to Mommy's tomorrow for her week. I'll have all the time in the world then. all the sad, lonely, quiet time. days off are good. hell, life is good.

Zerelda sure did love Miss Cuddles.

it's been a while since I even glanced at Tallulah's House....but today no one was coming, so I just stopped for a sec and did a quick burst session.

I think Zak Bagans would approve.

with my magnifying glass I see Krampus in the upstairs window. and two young girls in bottom window (behind van.)

Bigfoot pictures...etc.

Relda and I took a chair nap after work, then Papa took me out for supper and we picked my truck with it's fabulous new brakes up....

and then we put gas in our trucks and came home. been a long week. I am achy. tomorrow is Relda & Gramma morning while Daddy has BB practice.

Hey! Hey! Hey! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!

we. are. out. of debt. consolidation. done. finito. now, we're still paying off KJ's student loan and our faithful mechanic....but it is all coming together, folks. this is a magical time in our lives. the sun is shining, the birds are singing, we are happy and joyful.

it was a wonderful Christmas!

this was quite possibly the strangest Bigfoot movie I have ever watched. lots of Bible verse quotes...some praying....not like the Oh, Jesus Christ, what the fuck is this....but actual prayers. Bigfoot costume was amazing. Bigfoot was kicked in the face, and was boxing with our hero. B.o.x.i.n.g.

this was eerie....tall naked guys living in the desert who just rip off heads and limbs and murder people, then pile them in a secret place....
