Red Lobster

No I am not talking about the resturant, I am talking about the way I look. I went to the waterpark yesterday with neighbor S. We had a ball. I felt like a little kid. Screaming all  the way down the rides, laying in the lazy river and staying in the water until my lips turned blue.  It  was a little cold, however the sun was shining. I used sunblock and even had the neighbor spray me with the sunblock in a can, but I still got a sunburn.  I have raccoon eyes from wearing sunglasses. Let's just say it is not the look I am going for right before the fancy dinner with hubby.  I will however have a great tan for the dinner. (I don't think I burned bad enough to peel.)  Love the sun but  need to start taking it in small doses.

Dress shopping

It looks as if I need to go to Dillard's.  My hubby has a formal dinner with the Army that requires a long gown. I only have short ones.... So I will be stimulating the economy one dress at a time instead of one pair of shoes at a time.  I have also asked one of my bridesmaids to see if she still has her dress. I want to borrow  it to wear to a wedding this summer. How's that for recycling?

Double Rainbow

I spent lots of time looking out the window today. I watched the rain come and go. As it was leaving it left a rainbow. I was so excited to get to see just a rainbow that it turned to major excitement when I realized it was a double rainbow. I thought about the last time I got to see one and it was my trip to Hawaii with my parents. A trip of a lifetime I might add. May all your days be filled with double rainbows!!!!!

FIRE!!!!!

What a wonderful weekend. Got in late last night and woke up this morning to open my windows to the back yard and what do my eyes see but several panels of my fence burned to the ground. I was like seriously?  I actually closed the blinds rubbed my eyes and reopened the blinds. Just to make sure I was seeing the correct thing. Turns out the neighbors behind the house had someone come out today to replace two panels, so not so much work to do. I am still trying to decide what caused the fire. Tomorrow is another day it will be filled with lots of investigating.

What have I been up to?

Let's see...... today I decided to walk on the treadmill. (completed 2 miles) I then decided to remove and replace the weather stripping on all the doors leading to the outside. Loaded and started the dishwasher. I am now waiting to go get my eyebrows and lip waxed. Neighbor M and I are going together. If we have enough time then we will get to get our toes done too.  So all in all a good day.  Bring on tomorrow!!

Thunderstorms

Well it was another dark and stormy night. It makes you think of the beginning of a good mystery book.  I spent the most of the "O" dark thirty hours in  the closet. Approximately 3:30 to 6:30 in the am. I now have a blanket, pillow, bottled water and a flashlight in the closet. I believe I will just keep it there for the next few days so I don't have to keep fluffing the nest so to speak.  I am a little stiff from trying to sleep on the floor but all in all I survived.  Today is going to be rain filled. Thank you Lord for the rain we have needed it desperately. Just keep the thunder and lightening and tornados.
