Hump Day

Wow it is almost Thursday and here I am finally blogging.   Nothing really new here just the fact that I had a regular day.   We went to eat with friends tonight and ate outside enjoying the weather.  Love Baja Fresh for some meals.

 Well this post is just going to be boring and that's the way it is.   So let me share with you this.....

and a promise to have a better blog post tomorrow.

Today's thought

I have been looking over the college class schedule for my son since he will be home in Dec.   As I scrolled through the list there were so many classes online.   Why I don't just take the plunge.   I have said for years that I would go back...take a few classes.   Finish a degree.   Wow what a commitment.


  Just made me think.    It is so  past time.

Meet the enemy

Yes my front yard has enemies.   Meet them.

Birds.   Birds right now are the biggest enemy that we have.   We planted grass seed this weekend to have a beautiful winter lawn.  But with it comes these....the enemy.   BIRDS.   They can drive a hubbie nuts.   This morning I was forced to sit out in 73 degree temps and enjoy 2 hours of walking and then relaxing time.   Now I know this sounds like a hardship but what can I say.   We want the seed to grow.  

I hope to have a post in about 2 weeks of my front yard with grass but if now you know who to blame....


THE BIRDS.

10-10-10

Today's post is all about the ten.   Wouldn't it be cool to be born today.  What a cool birthday.   I have a son with a 9/29/89 birthday which is soooooo helpful.   I might forget other wise.  Enough blah, blah, blah...


Top 10 things I enjoy doing.   Not in any real order and there are some I may leave off the list because I can't think of them off the top of my head.

1.  Spending time with my family.   A dinner in the backyard enjoying the weather and visiting is so near and dear to my heart.
2.  I enjoy church and church related activities.   I can't imagine my life without the gospel.   It does make me who I am.
3.   Travel of any kind.   I love the overseas exotic stuff who wouldn't but there is so much said for a road trip with someone you love.   Kick back see the scenery and enjoy the talk.
4.  Shopping with my daughter.   Yep she is my favorite to go with but my niece and a sil are a blast too.
5.  A bit of yard work    Not the heavy clean up stuff.  The planting and nuturing stuff is what I like.   
6.   Knitting....love the feel of the yarn in my hands.
7.   Friends.   Laughing,eating, chatting, laughing, scrapping, shopping.   Doesn't lunches with friends just lift your soul.
8.   On the other side I love the solitude of watching the sun rise.   I love mornings.   I read, I walk, and breath.   Mornings are just glorious and I find it a good time to think on my own.
9.  Photos.   Not movies/DVD's.   The still captured moments.   Whether it be my own or of other people.
10.  Christmas music.   Call me crazy but they can play Christmas music sooner most of the time.   I really don't tire of it.   I don't like it all but my own collection is FABULOUS.

So that is it.   My tribute to 10/10/10.

Just another dirty Saturday

Yep I have been playing in the dirt this morning.   I have a front flower bed that I change out twice a year and so this year I went with some of the old stand bys that always do well.   I prefer pansies but petunia's do so much better in this area.   Add in some snapdragons and some sweet william.   I add in some daffadills that I have never tried my hand at and one Jalepeno pepper.   The basil is left over for the past year and just keeps giving.   I need a few bags of red bark but all and all.  Next Saturday the back....

A few pics.

Five Friday Fun Facts

I was going to post a few fun facts on Wednesday but then decided it should become my Friday post every Friday this month.   So here are a few things about me you may not know and some you may not care to know.

1.   I have been married almost 30 years now.

2.  I love to garden and replant my front flower bed twice a year usually with a color theme and in row.  I am thinking about changing that up.

3.  I tend to be happiest when I am in charge.   Not always but usually.

4.  I refuse to pick a favorite color.   I have been this way for decades.   I remember being a child and changing my mind on my favorite colors often.

5.  It drives me nuts when my toenails are NOT painted.   You won't catch up without paint on them very often at all.   I don't mind doing them myself  but they have to have some color.




 

Remind me to never mop the floor again

Yep that is what I am thinking this lovely morning.   No more mopping.   Who cares how sticky, muddy, and dirty it gets.   Ok I do but after yesterday I am thinking that way.   I started mopping the kitchen and saw around the fridge that the baseboard was pulling away from the wall.   OH, OH...NOOOOOOOOO.   Yes there is a small leak from one of the hoses going to the ice maker.   There is so much more to the story including tree trimming, 2 trips to Lowe's, a flat tire on my car, and a friend who came over to help out.   Currently I have water to the house (YES!!!!!) but no water to the fridge so no leaking now, and the spare is on my car.   Let's hope today is better and less costly.
