Rantings of a Creole Princess

Older.Wiser.Gentler.Framily-er

I am blessed that I have three best friends, lots of great friends and a whole host of really, really good friends.  I have friends from waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in elementary school and people who's spirits I've fallen in love with instantly in more recent years.

But I only have one best girlfriend.  She knows the majority of my secrets and she knows when I'm dealing with something even though she knows that I'm not ready to talk about what I'm dealing with.  She waits patiently and she always knows exactly what to do and say.  You guys know her and you also know that we love as hard as we fight.  LOL!  Thankfully we haven't had a major blowout in years and we both think we've reached the point of no return as far as our blowups are concerned.  I doubt if we ever have another one cause we're older.wiser.gentler and more framily-er.  Oh...and we have Cole.  LOL!

Since she knows me so well she always gives me the absolute best-est gifts.  I love a long robe and it's very seldom I find a robe long to the floor on me and when I do I buy it because, again, I love a long to the floor robe.  All of the ones I currently own are for mild weather up North and that's about to change so she searched for a Summer weight one for me:

Isn't that MARVELOUS?????????????????  GO ME!  GO SHELLYBEAN!!!!!!!!!  IT'S ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!!!

And the best thing about it?  

Oh yeah...the monogram!  Yall know I love a Mingogram.  LOL!

Thank you again.  I love you and I know you love me.  You're my favorite.  :)

Do you have a robe that hits the floor?  How tall are you?  Where did you get it?  Aren't they FABULOUS?

Thanks Jeff @ Executive Electric in Maryland!!!!!!!!!

I was on the highway the other day and saw an electrical work van with the name Executive Electric on the side along with their phone number.

I called them because our outside sockets haven't worked for a while now and I wanted to put my lights up outside.  Robby was convinced it was something minor because all other plugs in the house work fine but hey...neither he or I couldn't figure it out.

So Jeff from Executive Electric called me back and I told him what the problem was and he told me it sounded like we just needed to locate the GFCI and reset it.

What to watch on Netflix instant streaming!

This is ridiculous.  I can never find anything on Netflix instant streaming that doesn't suck.

So I figure we should start a list of movies we've watch on instant streaming that were good so we have options.

Here are some I've enjoyed:

Limitless

New In Town

I Am Love

Alabama Moon

Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead

Arranged

Whitney Cummings:  Money Shot

City Island

Neo Ned

Shrink

Brick Lane

I've Loved You So Long

The Blue Planet:  Ocean World

The Big Lebowski

Tortilla Soup

Whatchall got?  Link to it if you don't mind.

 

Restauranteur!

What's the last restaurant you visited?  What did you order?  What city/state is it in?  Would you recommend?

Me?  Mixt Greens, Mixt Cobb salad, Bethesda, Maryland, yes, yes, YES!

HOTNESS! Privacy Window Film

Last week I just happened to be standing in the front living room when someone came to the house.

I was startled to see they looked through the little window on side of the door first before they rang the doorbell.

It seriously made me feel some kinda way.

I thought about things I could do to cover up that space but nothing really spoke to me and my take on my personal decor style.

But the kid was mad.

So I started dinking around with Mr. Google and looking into options and I found this:  First Stained Glass Window Film 24-by-36-Inches

Monnie's List: Tri-State American Air Conditioning & Heating

Tri-State Home Services, LLC (866.624.5970) was called at 8:15 am.

It is now 11:06 am and my boy, Donald, from Tri-State has come and gone, came and went.

Donald was a lovely older gentleman who went straight to the problem, changed out something that he said blew up and kept it moving with an extremely pleasant personality and smile.

It only cost $229.  GO ME!

$109 for the trip/diagnostic.

$120 for the part and labor.

Our air is fixed and Jaru, Lucy and I are laid up waiting on it to be 68 degrees up in here again.

Robby:  What did he say was wrong with it?

Me:  Something blew up and he replaced it.

Robby:  Did he say what it was?

Me:  I'm sure he did. 

Robby:  Well?  What was it?

Me:  I don't know.

Robby:  Well what do you know?

Me:  I know it's fixed.

 

SIP:  I can't do heat in the house.  I'm too old for all that.
