Deep Breath and Prayer

The price tag on my fishing pole lighter was....well....a fish. Since I drive around with a bobber hanging from my rear view mirror, I figured this was the best spot for the fishy. I started an email to Chris earlier today. I got so far then walked away from it. Then I took a nap, thought about finishing it, watched a movie, thought about finishing it, ate, gave up on finishing it. I guess there is something in my mind that I am just not willing to put out there yet? Not sure, yet there is quite a confrontation going on in my head between "I want to get these things off my mind" and "no, these are for you to figure out on your own." Someday I will not be so much my own enemy. Someday I won't listen to "no one wants to hear you go on and on." Sometimes I have this thing where I go back and see what was happening around this same time in past years. I used to do this with my journals when I was younger. The plus of having written a lot these past years, ...

No words needed......just laughter......and laughter is good.

Ann and I went for a walk yesterday and we had to search out snow for a snowman. We found a pile from where they had plowed. Crazy because a large portion of snow is gone over at work. Meanwhile, there is still plenty at my house. Seems the storm just dumped on us.

Thank you camera flash for making my black carpet look grey. Oh well. So I look over and realize there are visible paw prints all over my carpet. I was very confused, yet Tess had just been outside and I figured it was just wet prints, yet how odd that they showed up so well. Then I remembered...it still looks like a drug bust gone bad in my kitchen/bedroom (I wonder how long it is going to take to clean that up). Yes, Tess had been outside and had wet paws...the went walking through the white stuff and then across the carpet. You go girl!

My new really awesome cool mouse. Was trying to figure out how to hold it for a pix that you got the yellow bottom to show as well. Not to sound like an infomercial, yet this thing is pretty comfortable to use. It is not super fancy, just does not seem to tire my hand as much. I didn't buy this. I was working on a client's computer at their house and they had one in different shades of blue. I made mention of how awesome the mouse was and didn't think anymore of it. The other day when I went by, they said they had something for me and it was a mouse like theirs. How sweet, eh? I need to be working on that other site right now yet I am just taking a break. I have the template all done, I just have to put the content in and that is more/less copying and pasting. It will be another late night and I am ok with it. I do good under deadline pressure. Am watching Adele's "Hello" video and cracking up. It is not the video making me laugh yet the other night Lora and I...

Check it out!!! The township came and put gravel in the alleyway and they put it in my drive too!! YEAH!! because I have needed gravel for a long, long time and even though it is only up to the Focus (who knows when that will ever move), it will last me quite a while longer. No more mud wading to get to and from my car!! Thank you.

Can we say "Dude!! That is cool!!!" because I said it...twice. Saw these at Rural King the other day and almost bought one. Somehow I managed to talk myself out of it. Today, however, I ended up in Tuscola early and took a stop at the hardware store. Lo and behold (I wonder where that phrase came from) there they were again. I called it "a sign" and had to buy one. So, now I have a fishing pole butane lighter. Yes, I am cool, there is not much more one can say about this.
