Wow, your day has been busy. I potted up some plants for the deck. Also, I finally potted up a big 'ol corn plant that has been rooting in water for almost a year. Lots and lots of roots. I don't need another corn plant/tree but they keep growing and gorwing. It was windy here today and the pollen was blowing around like fog, so I worked in the garage. Not a bad day but I wish I could have gone with you to get my hair cut. My bangs are so long I need a bobby pin. wow...remember bobby pins?

I hope your hair looks good.

sooey

YaYa and I had yard sales! See the link if you must know more! :-)

Time to kick up my feet and enjoy a cold beer.

Here is a link that might be useful: Why I am Tired.........

Yesterday and today, Our DD was here from Dallas and she and her DH had a wedding to go to so we babysat our grandson Hunter.

We went to my friend's house so my DH could help her DH put in a new hot water heater. When we met with DD, we got shakes at Sonic because they are on sale right now for 99cents each.YUMMY!

Then I came home and fertilized,deadheaded,and watered my plants.DH is mowing and weedeating...DD is practicing some songs for a church special and texting.......LOL(teenagers are the best multitaskers aren't they?)

I also need to cook some food-we have some leftovers but I don't think its quite enough..hmmm what to do???

I hope you like your hair Kath mine needs cutting too. I don't highlight, I can't even keep up with dying the gray very well....sigh(It's like a full time job!)

Sooey-I love the corn plant! Have yours ever bloomed? They smell heavenly and stout! I like it for a while but couldn't handle it all the time.:)

Lets see... we (as in Jerry and I) loaded two book shelves in the van, sealed up some cracks in the siding, took down antenna wire. Then I loaded more stuff in the van, started mowing the yard but it rained (no, poured, 2"in 30 minutes) and I had to quit, painted ceiling in the master bath, put light fixture up in the workout room, and then I packed my bags for next weeks bike trip.

Yikes, I am all worn out mentioning it here. LOL

Moni

Saw the Sex and The City movie . . . sigh, I could cry I miss that show so much! The rest of the day was shot, as all I did was think about it . . . it was fantastic!!!!!!

I didn't do much today. Just relaxed and enjoyed my furbabies. I did haul some wet, soggy junk out of the basement and threw it in the trash. Did a couple of loads of laundry of things that had gotten wet when the basement got wet with all the rain we got Thursday night. For several months now I had planned to get all the cardboard boxes out of the basement and put more things in clear plastic bins.

We slept in, then we went iceberg watching. Drove for a couple of hours and saw a lot more than we thought we would. It was a sunny, fairly warm day and when we got home we picked up pizza and a salad for a late supper.

Bad reviews on Sex and City, guess I'll skip.

My DH helped our son change his car brakes this morning.

I took my Granddaughter with me to the mall to buy a little girls purse for her, and I got a haircut. Then bought her new crocs for summer. We went to WalMart and bought all three kids new bubble machine toys, and went to Joe's and bought DH a new cell phone holder; and took lunch back for everyone. (whew! talk about driving around town!)Then I assembled toys and "played" outside with the kids for a bit.

DH and I then spent a couple hours car shopping, it's time for a new one. I wanted a hybrid SUV, he wants a regular SUV...no new car today.

Now we are home, and my knee is hurting! My surgery was 3 weeks ago, but I really overdid it! Tomorrow I am resting! kathy

Yard sale and estate sale...very good day!

I took DD-8 to play with a classmate. Then she called to ask to stay the night, so I drove back with clothes/toothbrush. Then I grocery shopped (a big affair, since I only go every 2 weeks, includes wholesale club and Kroger and a very full minivan), came home and put it all away, threw together some dinner. I had just settled into the bathtub w/a book when DD called again... she wanted to come home after all. So I got out and drove over again to bring my homesick little girl home to her own bed. ;o)

Now I'm gonna finish that bath!

Oh, and I shopped for a new bathing suit! How could I forget. I found one, on sale even.

Let's see ...

... got up yesterday near noon, spent afternoon preparing and seeding garden, including dropping water into trenches prior to seeding. Planting seeds to set up a new asparagus bed.

After dark, made supper, checked some emails.

Felt a bit of a tickle on the hand - tick. Did for him, about the ninth one, so far, and three have nicked me ... so far with no untoward results.

Quite a bit of paper work dealing with a new project that I'm setting up, offshoot of an earlier one.

Spent some time reading a book, "Running on Empty" by a former U.S. Sec'y. of Commerce (under Nixon), written in 2004.

More activity on computer, including several postings here, talking to you folks.

Figured that I should go to bed, to sleep when sun does, not using lights during few hours of darkness ... but postponed it.

Checked some end-of-week stock prices.

Dealt with some emails.

Did some posting on THS, including KT ... and a fair major one on "Saving".

Some rain during the night.

Still busy by daylight.

After daylight, brought stuff in from car, including water from city taps for drinking and cooking. Plus some bulk candy, some of which I've enjoyed through today.

Some breakfast. Discussion with landord about where he wants to put his stuff in the garden, which is all staked ... and that to accomodate his tiller, that cuts over 40" wide.

Fed, watered cats.

Checked garden ... some peas coming up, and some corn just showing.

Heavy rain for a short period during the morning.

Some more planning about what to do in garden ... had bought strawberry seeds, but decided that I wanted them in part of garden that's already planted. Discussed with landlord whether to let them lie till next year. But may decide to plant them along with the things that are planted where I want them to be ... they can grow together: doubt that they'll fight.

After investment discussion group on Wed. night, one guy left his jacket, I tried to catch him, still have the jacket, tried to find phone No., will have to send email.

Friend asked me to buy him cigs., I went down the road and got some ... likely see him tomorrow ... he's just about out ...and you know how antsy addicts get when they don't get their fix!

Oh, yes - while looking in desk ... found sticker certifying my vehicle licence was renewed (it was cold and messy on the day that I got it). Driver testers would ride with me only after I showed them sticker in registration certificate.

Also, police pulled son and me over the other night, no ticket: accepted the sticker in the registration certif.

But female accompanying him was distressed by the empty beer cans in the car ... wanted assurance that we hadn't been drinking. I should have suggested that she smell them, for there was no odour ... and mud on some of them: from the roadside.

Just installed the sticker: that should keep the authorities happy for a while. Now I need to add the rest of the paper to the stack of receipts ... $74.00.

The kitten that didn't show till it was half grown, and has been rather skittish till a while ago, but when it got some petting decided that it liked it, spent some time with me.

Her mother will follow me to the garden or part way to get the mail ... but if I get my hand within about 9" of her, will swat me ... and she means business: draws blood.

But expects me to feed her.

Sort of like a teen ager, I guess.

It's fully dark: 9:35.

I guess I'll get a snack ... and go to bed.

Just about out of bread,will have to put another loaf to bake. I usually make the dry mixings for about 5 at a time (as I store the flour at the other end of the house, to avoid the moths ... so far successfully) and I'd used the last container last time. So brought out the flour ... and found that I had one mix left, so I've put it to bake.

When the measuring cup dries, I'll make up 5 mixes, then put the flour away again.

I've been checking store specials next week, as will be in town tomorrow and probably not otherwise till Thurs or so. About all that interests me is good price on choc. milk.

As I said a week or so ago ... since I'm on dial-up internet connection, I've been trying to figure ways to break household and kitchen chores into 15-, 30- and 45-second segments, in order to keep me from chewing fingernails while waiting for downloads.

I hope that your weekend is meeting all of your expectations ... so far ... and continues to do so.

It is Saturday ... isn't it? When one's retired ... every day's Saturday.
