No Whining Allowed

I am going to resort to the Handy Dandy List Format to tell you what has been going on around here. It’s what I like to do.

1. I have been trying out different fonts and colors on the Windows Live Writer thingy that I downloaded at the recommendation of Capri’s L and D. Did you notice? Could you care?

2. I like the option. I am very fond of options.

3. I have been taking care of the dog. Who is missing her Mama very badly. She is even walking like she is depressed. We are trying to give her special attention, and carrots. She said the carrots are helping.

4. We went and saw Toy Story 3. It was very sweet. The Toy Story franchise was HUGE around here for many years. There are a lot of good memories wrapped around Woody, Buzz and The Gang.

5. Mousey and I went to her FAVORITE STORE IN THE WHOLE WORLD yesterday. The Value World. She had $14 to spend. I had to loan her a dollar at the check out. She also asked if I could “help her out “ with a few other things, since she had an awesome report card. I said sure. I did notice that the 4 or 5 things that I helped out with were the more expensive things. Hmmmm…

I told her that Beeve had called and wanted her to babysit Little Goomba on Friday night. Since babysitting is her main source of income, I mentioned that she may want to let him know she was available. It’s a two-fer really. Cash, and some time with Goomba.

6.I bought a bowling ball to mosaic, one hoodie for me, another for Abby and  I bought her a teeny, tiny, wear across your body pocket book for 60 cents. Because she has recognized her need of a little something at the parks in Florida. Really, just a pocket  to hold her license, credit card, a little cash, her phone and her glasses. For those wild roller coaster rides. I hope it works. I can live with a 60 cent loss if it doesn’t.

7. I have been READING!!! I reread The Shiloh Legacy Series by Bodie Thoene. And I liked it, I loved it. Again. Love Birch and Trudie.  Hat tip to Rachel Hostler for giving me the books to read MANY years ago!

Rachel needs a blob name. Do you want to be Rae Babe, or choose something else, Rachel? I find it funny that I use her full name and people come to this blob because they are Goggle-ing Rachel Hostler. Like she is an HUGE star and they are TRACKING HER DOWN! She is evidently very popular!

I have many books I want to read this summer. Have you been reading anything thrilling? Yes, I am looking for thrilling.

8. I went shopping with The Boy for some birthday presents. He needed some clothes. He picked out 2 pair of jeans and several plaid shirts. You would think he was Scotch (is it Scotch, or Scotts?) with all the plaid he wears. He even selected plaid underwear. Which, by the way, I am happy he selected. He has been having a panty crisis for a couple of years now.

I had bought his boxers at The Big Cheap Store in Virginia for years. All of the sudden, they no longer carried them. He was bummed. For some reason, they were the boxers of his choice. I bought other kinds. He did not like them. He has been losing his boxers to old age for a while now, without any new recruits. It was getting serious. He needed some new Squares. I don’t know why we call them squares. Underwear, undersquares perhaps? He has not told me if he likes them or not. It could be all for naught. If they don’t work, we are going to try Old Navy. He used to wear Old Navy Squares in late elementary, early middle school. That is probably more information than you ever thought you would ever need to know about The Boy’s Unfortunate Panty Problem. Pray for him.

9. I need to go out and plant the last things I bought at The Favorite Garden Place last week with The Peanuts Champ. She promptly went home and planted hers. I have been watering mine for days in their little, tiny cubicles.

10. I am going to lunch this afternoon with my friends Suzanne Suzanna Danna, and Dawn, who also really needs a blob name. Perhaps she will choose one today. We have been friends since high school, so we have lots to talk about when we get together. Plus, Dawn works at a police station and she has stories. Always an added bonus

What doing with you? Come on now, you Guy’s have been WAY too quiet lately!
