3/06/2009 It's all about the tune...I love rolling thunder. It’s late Tuesday night, reruns of Frasier are on and it’s going to rain soon. I wonder why rain soothes me. Usually, tornado watches and thunderstorm watches are scary. Maybe I’ve finally gotten used to them.
I’ve been going by spaces and have noticed that most of us are in the “laurel” stage. As in resting on ours…
Is blogging over? I hope not. I love reading about people’s lives. My blog has come to a stand still because right now, my life is boring. I like Facebook and I do check in regularly to read about others, but I’m wondering if I’m too old for that app. I don’t feel the need to “update” every 3-4 hours.
Just plain ol’ boring, I guess.
My son-in-law got a new bass boat, so he and Hubby went fishing on Sunday. I took a nap. Hubby caught a big one and threw it back. I’m finally rubbing off on him.
I was bored on Sunday. I felt guilty that I have recorded so many of my favorite shows and have yet still to watch them. I wanted to record a movie while I was at church and I have no more room on my DVR. I need to erase something. I can’t decide what to lose. Aack…so many decisions.
Hubby and I are thinking about changing churches. We’re still in the deciding stage. Our daughter’s church Stonewater, is so engaging and uplifting! And we do enjoy the services. The church we now go to, The Triple Cross Cowboy Church is geared more toward people who have avoided church most of their lives. We’re not like that, although that’s how I grew up. I never stepped foot in a church until I was 21.
My daughter's church went out, Memorial Day Weekend morning to a depressed section of town and cleaned up/mowed/weed ate and hauled away grass and trash from homes of more than 200 people. Over 600 volunteers showed up to help. My daughter was in charge of coordinating all of it and Hubby and I helped. Hot dogs, live music and a jump house helped entertain. A partnering church - Warriors for Christ, a prison/motorcycle church helped out. What a statement of love.
Summer is happening here in North Texas. Even as I speak, our pool is slowly filling up. Temps in the 100’s are mere days away. While I do love a good heat wave, I also hate the electric bills that come with it.
Extreme heat seems to help my allergies. I got some blood work done to see what my allergies look like. I’m allergic to cats, dogs and Bermuda grass. And ragweed. And a dozen other pollens. My IgA level (a test that determines how your body is responding to toxins) is over 2000. Normal is around 114 or 144. That’s what they told me. So bring on the heat.
I’ve been trying to talk The Princess and Annah’s parents into getting a pool. I will be watching the girls Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays this summer and since the economy won’t let me go shopping every day, I need a diversion. My daughter has offered me $1.00 an hour this summer, so I told them I‘d pay for the pool. My son-in-law thinks it will kill the grass.
Nobody will know this if you don’t move the pool. Nit picker.
It used to be that in the morning, when I got to my daughter’s house to watch Annah or Grace, I would turn the TV to the news and other local TV programming. Now I watch old sitcoms. Cybil, Reba, Roseanne, The Golden Girls - all chick stuff. I am so sick of the news. I’ve turned into a praying Ostrich.
Hubby plays the fiddle. Have I ever mentioned this? This July, he’s going to fiddle camp. A world championship fiddler holds a 6 day camp for aspiring fiddlers.
Hubby’s whole family plays at least one stringed instrument. I have listened to so much music over the past 36 years that I am numb.
Once I get the melody in my head, it plays back ALL the time. Right now, we’re practicing the “Canadian Waltz.
Anyway….
The girls were in band during grade school and middle school. Sarah on the clarinet, Lara on the French horn. Both were first chair and I learned to tune out the early stages.
Then (25 or so years ago), Hubby decided to learn the fiddle. All I can do is be supportive. And keep time.
Ok, back to me…I bought a new blouse and sandals early last week and forgot all about ‘em when I was getting dressed for church. Does this mean I have Alzheimer’s or just have too many clothes? I don’t know, but I have GOT to go on a diet! It’s getting hard to hold it all in these days.
Wine is my downfall. I love the pinot grigio that Cavit puts out.. And of course I love that tropical smoothie from Sonic. (See the Multi-Orgasmic entry in April 2006 or 2007. Highlight and Scroll to read it.)
My knee is still healing. It pops and snaps but doesn’t hurt too much. I wouldn’t want to go running or kneeling, though. When I’m able to bend it like before, I’ll be happy. It’s still swollen and so is my foot. Actually my whole leg is swollen. And that makes it hard for buying shoes. Thank goodness it’s flip-flop
season.
Alrighty then, I’m going to bed. Y’all take care and have a good week.
