I'm up, and off!


Do you see what time this is being posted??? Yeah, 'cause I just woke up, and just got out of the shower. I'm off to pack, and then off to Cali. Britney is totally confused, and can you blame her? Anyway. I'm not sure if I'll have internet service or not, so I'll have to see when I get there. Hope all the mothers out there have a FANTABULOUS Mom's day . . .

And, this is a pic of what got whacked off!!! :-) Really, when it's straightned out, it IS 10".

Quick quick post

New phone came today . . . as Stacey would say, "Bummer, Dude", 'cause before I had the Orange Env, but evidently they don't make those anymore, so I'm stuck with silver. Whatever, at least I can text again! I'm back up and communicatable again! Is that even a word?

Oh, and I bought a digital camera for me, so be prepared to see even more pics of Britney being cute. More later . . . . much later!

Done!

Today I did it. I whacked off my hair, and it's going to Locks of Love. And, I have to say, it doesn't look half bad! I forgot how much fun it is to have STYLE in your hair . . . not just have it lay there and not do much. I'll get pictures posted ASAP.

Also, in the good news directory, Asurion called, and my new Env should be here tomorrow! And, because of the trouble in getting me a phone quickly, they are going to be sending me a car charger, which I didn't have before. Cool. Works for me! While I appreciated the loaner phone, it is NOT what I've been used to.

I got to thinking last night, which is always dangerous, but I was thinking that I had to leave at 4 am for my flight. At 6. In Richmond. Wait a minute . . . that doesn't exactly work! So, me, who gets her best sleep between 2 and 5, will be on the road to Richmond. Who do I know that is up all night? This doesn't bode well! But, I am SO excited to get to visit family. And, my rebate check is going to be here this week, and I'm thinking about picking up a spiffy digital camera for me. I'm tired of always having to borrow someone's when I want to do something, and so often Britney is being SO cute, so, why not? I mean, isn't the point of the stimulus package to stimulate the economy? I better do my share!!!

Bad Sunday


Do you see this?? 'Cause I sure don't! It's GONE, baby, GONE! Grrr. And, you would think that having insurance is a good thing . . . and it is, 'cause it'll *only* cost $50 to replace, but it's going to be about 2 weeks before I have a new phone!!! SOOOO not good. So, if anyone has a Verizon phone that I can borrow in the meantime, they can put my number on that phone 'til I get mine. Help, help, and please help!!! Thanks.

Ah, the Joys

Of the river. See what I mean? It's hard to be in a bad mood after 30 minutes of this:


Springtime












This is why I currently love my house. Springtime flowers are amazing, but who knew this is what would be waiting for me? Part of the fun of moving in last October was seeing what was here this year. I had no idea! Last night it was in the high 50's, and I wrapped up in a blanket and sat on my swing, watching my puppy relax. Last night Britney and I walked down to the river - our nightly excursion. There's just something about watching her sheer delight as she chases and chews apart sticks in the water. She just radiates happiness. I know that sounds crazy, since she is "just" a dog, but life wouldn't be the same without her. People can't believe that she's an inside dog, but it's funny. In the evenings when I'm sitting outside, she's right by the front door. I think she's afraid she's going to get stuck out there!

Today I'm just working until 2:30, and then I'll relax some before heading to the track. Tonight we're going to be making up from the past 2 rain outs, but it doesn't look good for tomorrow night! We'll have to do a sunshine dance. What are your plans this weekend?

Hello, May

What the heck? How did it get to be May already? Anyway. Yesterday I zipped on over to Lowe's and picked up a shovel and pruners, and did a bit of yard work. While the Forsythia bush was gorgeous this Spring, I couldn't see around it for cars coming down the mountain. Now, I'm one of those girls that I need to know exactly what it is I'm looking for at Lowe's. I love the store, but have no idea what I'm doing. Trust me on this. I'm standing in front of this HUGE display of clipper-things, and I find one that looked like it would do the job. I get home, and they're not pruners - they are "Florist Shears", and designed to strip leaves/thorns off of arrangements. Yeah, well, they clipped that forsythia bush just great, too! I also trimmed back the evergreen thing, and the dead branches from the Rhododendren. You know, those are hard words to spell!

I wasn't very happy with the mutt last night. For the last three nights, she has found the most horrible smelling things to roll in. This does not make me happy!!! It means that I have to bathe her! And, last night everything that I touched broke/fell over/spilled. Not a good night. But, now I see Stacey and Carrie coming through the door with Dairy Queen, so it's going to be a fabulous afternoon!!!!
