You’re Just Being Shellfish!
7/1/2013
I'm just walking from one chair in the dark to the next. I am taking a sensible caution of avoiding light on the off-chance I might burst into flames.
Wendi and Xander have gone to the grocery store to get won ton wrappings for the BBQ and....some other stuff. Legos, maybe? (Yes, she probably told me about 8 times.) After that, Xander has his TKD lesson so it's back to the Y for the second time today. I'm considering going there a second time simply because they have a/c.
Yesterday was quite productive. I redid the emergency supplies, watered all the vital trees/plants, mowed and weedeated. (Is that a word?) I also got my wonderful neighbor to agree to a date to saw down the tree which a is on our property but is leaning towards his driveway. This is the 3rd summer I've been looking at that widow maker. It's always been "Yeah, we'll get that soon." but we finally decided on this Saturday. Yippee!
I now have a crap-load of bug spray, sun block, and canned food from last year's emergency supplies. They are good now but won't last another year. Maybe come Thursday, we can bring won tons AND 12 pounds of Chili. And 110 ounces of mandarin oranges. The oranges aren't a big problem as they are in small(ish) cans but the 6 pound cans of chili kind of scare me. There is no going back once you open one of those bad boys.
Granted, J seems to have invited the majority of the county so she might need some extra chow. And it will be outside. And the 4th of July. Rocket's Red Glare. Gas Clouds Bursting Everywhere....
Ms. Wendi seems to have enjoyed her solo week though word on the street has it she was moving a bit slowly to morning after Mrs. B's visit.
'Bout 1/3 of the way through my latest novel; a horror novel called NOS4A2. I don't know why I do this to myself. I buy a scary book and then half-way through, it's all "Too much anxiety. Can't continue book!"
Any of you know who might have left a large glass serving bowl with a blue lid at our BBQ a couple of week's back? It's here on my desk and will continue to do so till I find its rightful owner.
Hope to see the majority of you on Thursday.
Salut!
