Sooooo.....
I was awake and up early this morning...not sure why, but I woke with a start and was wide awake so I didn't try to turn over and go back to sleep.
I made coffee and sat out on the porch in my barefeet, T-shirt and sweats....watching the sun come up, the birds waking up and listening to the sounds the world makes at...

Yesteryday and last night were amazing!
It had been soooooo long since I'd had a night out on the town.
I was able to get my shopping and errands all done and then met up with friends for dinner. After dinner, we all went to a movie at a new theater that had just opened. We saw "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle".....very funny...

I added some photos to my pics section. I don't have any great ones from the last few months, so these are from the last couple of years. I'll add more as I get them and might even make a special effort to get some good ones taken to add.
Heading to bed soon. A long day ahead tomorrow and I'll be up early to...

So....my 4 hours in the dentist chair this morning went really well....better than I could have ever expected it to. My dentist is just the best! He removed my porclein crown with a neat little gizmo that didn't break it, so it could be put back on. He did the root canal and put the crown back in place, as perfect as it was before....

Nope- Hangover Fridays!
Ok, so I've been thinking. How bad can this dental appointment tomorrow really be? A little drilling, a little cutting, a little pulling, a little suturing....that's about it.
Hell, last year I walked on a broken ankle for 4 days before the orthopedic surgeon gave me crutches to use and I was able to stand that OK. I'll probably have a little swelling and a...

Yesterday couldn't have been any better. I won't bore you with details, it's enough to say that I went to bed with a big shit eating grin on my face last night.

Today is going to be one of those days that you just can't predict what will happen. It's just going to have to play itself out.
And I..............will just have to play it by ear....go with the flow....slide with the glide!
Hopefully, it all turns out well and I live happilly ever after......but we shall see.....

Good luck.
The severe thunderstorms never came. Just a few rain drops that really didn't amount to much.
Do you suppose the weather forecasters would do a better job of forecasting, if their wages were based on their accuracy in forecasting? If they only got the forecast right 50% of the time, they would only get 50% of their pay? Just a silly thought.

If I were a weather forecaster I would predict there was a 50% chance of rain every day. That way I would be right 100% of the time.
Sunday morning:
Yesterday's headache and body aches are all gone. Not sure what caused them, but luckily they only lasted for part of the day. I'm feelin' fine now!
Today's busniness is an annual family reunion. It's been held on the 2nd Sunday in August for over 50 years now. We have a catered dinner at noon, so no one has to worry about bringing...

It's Saturday morning and I feel like crap....I hardly slept at all last night and my back and legs ache like they do when you're just starting to come down with something.I have a dull throbbing headache in the back of my head. I don't know what it could be. I was in bed early last night and haven't had any other indications that I'm...

I liked your story in my journal. At least when we have those memories, they are wistful sweet and it makes me want to call my dad and say thanks.
I remember telling my folks,I don't want to be an adult and have to pay taxes and bills and a mortgage and a car payment, etc...
I spend alot of time in daydreams and memories because all of the grownup stuff can be a big drag. I try to play
like I am still a kid though, and encourage my friends to do so too. It keeps you feeling young.

Today's thought for the day is a variation on yesterday's theme:
It's easy to tell someone else how to drain the swamp, when you're not the one up to your ass in alligators.

benni:
hehehe... if you're in des moines i'll see you there...
I find it sad when all the people I go to school with can't tell you the slightest thing going on in the world, but can tell you how some girl called into a morning show and made an ass out of herself. Pitiful.
had no plans except normal routine, so yep, for once got them all done
nice bike
