Friday is here and things are good in Thorne’s World!

On the financial end, the GirlyBoi is out looking at another small job and in negotiation for a bit more work on a project for a neighbor (loosely speaking, of course- out here neighbors can be 5 miles away!), and it’s starting to look like she may be working at her last job again for awhile sometime in the near future. What’s not good about that? Groceries and paying the mortgage- that’s what I call good!

As for the greater good in Thorne’s World, today I have a bit of yummy small town goodness to report. Our tiny desert town has long been quite bereft of anything for young people, old people… hell; anypeople to do outside of hanging about or going to a bar; neither of which is a good thing, if ya know what I mean. The nearest movie theater is 20 miles away, fer cryin’ out loud!

At noon today the GirlyBoi and I are taking my Mom and heading to the new Clubhouse in town for pizza and a G rated Movie. My Mom is tickled to death, because last week the director told her to come a little early and help pick the movie. The new community clubhouse has a couple of computers for internet access, a billiards table, dartboard and a Wii, and a small lending library (as well as air conditioning), some board games and crafts materials. Attendance is low at this point, since it’s only recently opened, but it’s a County funded operation so it’s all free and I think it will be great for our little town and its denizens!

It’s good for Thornie on a few levels:

• ♥ My mom gets to get out, which really makes me happy!
• ♥ For the GirlyBoi and I, I think it will be nice to have a place nearby, that won’t cost us an arm and a leg for gas, to go shoot some pool or play some Wii and socialize a bit.
• ♥ And I now have somewhere to donate my several boxes of books and boardgames that I decluttered Yay!!!

All of this is for Shelly’s Only the Good Friday Meme. Hop on over and check out the good that others have to share. It’s good stuff!
Peace, out!

PS: Do you think Ree Drummond gets this jazzed about free pizza and a G – rated movie? Jest sayin’…Your Anti – Pioneer Woman – keepin’ it real in Thorne’s World!

Looks to be a busy weekend here on Pair – O – Dykes Ranch. Today, in just a few minutes, and only 9 days after it was begun, we enter phase two of the Anti – Pioneer Woman’s Great Head Change Adventure. While that gunk is on my head I’ll be doing mundane (but good) stuff like cleaning house and making a grocery list. These days going grocery shopping is something to crow about; it only happens once a month and the cupboard is getting seriously bare.

The GirlyBoi has a tiny spot of work this afternoon, which is good, and tomorrow we’re joining friends for the “let’s try to pretend these fireworks don’t represent ‘bombs bursting in air‘” celebration. I’ll be back with an update on the head.

While you’re waiting, head on over to Shelly’s place for others who are posting their good for Only the Good Friday! (And cross your fingers for my hair…)

Peace, out!

It’s true. It’s lookin’ pretty dark in Thorne’s World these days, despite my Prosperity Bottle and some serious ass-kickin’ Abundance Thinking. But it is Only the Good Friday and I say “So Shall it Be!”

See that glowing sliver of brightness in that banner image? That’s you guys. My bloggy buddies, friends & extended family. And you people are just like that light; shining over Thornie no matter how dark it sometimes gets here.

I think you know who you are, so I’m not gonna have a linkfest today, but I do want to mention The Bumbles. They rocked my world in the wee hours of the morning when I read this award they’ve given me. You all know by now what a weepy ol’ witch I am, but this one really touched me deeply and Gods know it comes at a time when I really needed a little lift. Thank you, Molly & Andy.

Okay peeps, I’m headin’ over to Shelly’s OtGF and let ya’ll’s good wash all over me!
Peace, out!
