Where to begin?
Lets start with how my state has now inherited the heat wave (thank you very much midwest).Current temperature at 7:40 pm
I am tempted to try to fry an egg on the sidewalk......actually I"m waiting for dark to water a few plants that its been too hot to plant. I scored a couple of overstocked perennials for 80 cents each at Lowes earlier this week:).
I learned that puked up catfood attracts millions of ants - ugh......(darn your sensitive stomach Ugly Girl).
Had a peridontal cleaning/checkup today and things are getting better........with a bit of luck I'll escape any more gum surgery. My peridontist is off on a cruise next week - NY roundtrip on Princess....I teased him that he really ought to bring me back something as a thank you for my contribution to his vacation fund.
It is going to be hotter outside my hot tub than in it come tomorrow - I find that incredible.
I also find it amusing that out there it feels like the steam room that I loved so much on my last cruise.....maybe I should set up a lounger and a mist fan in the front yard and charge admission to my spa ;)
Sorry - I don't mean to focus so much on the weather....lets move on to cooler thoughts. I bought some very cheap Real Sangria (that was actually the brand name, I think) last week and it was quite yummy....I'd been thinking about making some from scratch, but this stuff was so good that I'm not sure I'll bother. Though if anyone has a good sangria recipe I'm open to trying it.
So, I'm opening my mail while I blog and here's a note from Expedia - it contains a prepaid Mastercard which was a perk from one of the hotels I booked - in fact, there should be a second Mastercard coming that goes to Carol.....I'll wait to mail that rumcake and send them both together.
Yes Lisa, I said rumcake. I had it here as a gift for you two to share in Seattle but I completely forgot to pack it...so, I figure I'll send it to Carol now as a belated thank you for the room and maybe if you're really good I'll send you some more crabcakes :).
Before it got so bloody hot, I was sitting out back on my deck thinking about how much I love my backyard.....I really do adore having woods behind me and watching the birds and the occasional rabbit/groundhog/deer/fox and whatever else is out there that I haven't noticed yet. It's a reminder to appreciate my truly charmed life.
And speaking of charms.......my BFF Patti has agreed to cruise with me. I had big plans for her "0" birthday but unfortunately work got in the way and I couldn't make it down to celebrate - so we'll just pretend this year is that year. You'll remember I got hooked on the spa cabins - and because she was willing to fly cross country with me and the rates out of LA are so much less than Florida - we have a BALCONY spa cabin. Her actualy birthday, January 30th, is Lobster and Prime Rib dressup night - so I don't even have to pay extra to take her out to dinner to celebrate :).
I got an A on my first class assignment last week - and am caught up on the discussion for this week already so it should be a stress free weekend.
Saw a facebook post from my son that my granddaughter to be is fully ripe and can join us any time - the official due date is 8/14 - but since I'll be at Watkins Glen for the race that day, I'm hoping that she comes a bit early. If she doesn't - I'm going to nickname her after whoever is leading the race at the time of her birth....lets hope its someone like Gordon or Stewart - I don't think they'll like me calling her Allmendinger.
So there are my 13 things for Thursday......but let me leave you with one link that I found hysterically funny...I posted it on Facebook, but for those of you who aren't there....
