some thoughts before bed...

Seriously, it doesn't matter how funny I am in print. Why? Because.
I will never be able to compete with the obsessive click-laugh-click-snort-click-"dude that is bat sh!t insane-funny"-click-click-click sounds next to me coming from yet another hour spent reading and posting to, shall we call it, the socially appropriate forum for men (?) to obsess over, all under the convenient guise of fake baseball? And to think I dropped out way back when because Wood and Pryor hosed my should-have-won-first-place-hands-down year. That and cheering for Yanks. ridiculous. click-click. The worst of it is that I can't even complain about it for 2 reasons. 1: because it is so damn funny listening to this stuff and 2: because P cemented rocks into place in the flowerbeds today so we don't have to damn keep picking the frickers up. Hate those stones! Not anymore tho now that they can't move and all. That is so awesome. What did your husband do in between Fantasy Baseball posts? umhum, goodnight!

Seems to be working

Well, after a month of bouncing around from family and friends, we have finally taken back our home and what is left of the yard. We will be busy all summer getting it back in shape but it is great to be back. The dogs are well (Masha's epilepsy seems to be under control) but they are confused that they don't get a cookie every time they look cute. Paul is part-time dissertation writer and part-time landscape architect. His project this week is cementing all the stones along the flowerbeds by the road into place in an effort to curb (ha, ha! get it?) all the weed growth, a tough task in the woods! I am basking in the sweet sunshine of having defended my thesis a month ago and am just now thinking of picking up a book after a month of magazine and other wonderful trash reading. lovely.

I'm not really knitting anything right now although I have a scarf, a sock, and a purse in the works. And, I sweeped my computer clean back to the day I bought it so I have to re-download Picasa and all my photos, so until that happens, no photos, yo. Anyway, I was talking about knitting. It's hard to knit when you spend your evenings unpacking, cleaning, organizing, and such. Plus we go to campus for at least an hour every night with the pups. That takes a lot of time seeing as I am a "working woman" right now but it is worth it and the dogs are passed out by the time we get home. Wow, did you know how guilty you were making me feel about not knitting? I didn't either. The purse is going to be super-cute.

Sooooooo, We have plans to have a BBQ and then catch a Durham Bulls game with fireworks for the big 30 Bday. I'm kind of excited about being old. It means I can be belligerent when I am not treated with respect and I like that idea A LOT. BTW: have only received 2 cards this year, ahem...

Well, I got in the knitting and walking the dogs, I should say sth about baking bread. I successfuly made my first loaves of sourdough bread yesterday! Man, they are good, too. Nancy made me a starter and has been keeping it going until last week. I pretty much forgot to do everything on time, but the starter is forgiving and the bread turned out just fine!

As for the ladies wine clubs, well I hope you read the old blog, otherwise you'll just have to be out of the loop.

Gotta go - the dogs are attacking Paul. Not sure he'll survive, hahahaha, jk.

More soon!

We're Baaaaaack!

so this is a test because if Blogger is not working properly then I'm not gonna type a big post and have it get all lost on me... test, ok?
