it's the little things...

I got back today and am so not in the mood to go back to work. Ugh. Pictures today, perhaps words tomorrow.

I know; I'm slightly early. See, I have a feeling that tomorrow I'll be running around like a chicken with its head cut off because Thursday morning I'll be leaving town on a little vacation. I'll be celebrating Independence Day here. Y'all have fun and be safe! See ya next week. ( And because I've been feeling a little lonely over here, I'm going to shamelessly beg for a comment from you lovely readers. Is anyone still out there? ) (Photo courtesy of City Data . Hopefully there will be more photos when I return.)

Awhile back I realized what makes life (and blogging) interesting sometimes is the part of today that makes it stand out. What happened today that was different from any other day? Sometimes you are hard-pressed to find anything. Other days, it's simple. So for June... 4th : The Boyfriend's first birthday since we met. 5th & 6th : Finally getting a grip on one of my new studies. Thank goodness for the help of kind co-workers...one whose job should not have included training me. 8th : Went sailing on The Boyfriend's dad's boat for the first time. Also planted our tree babies. This was the first time I planted trees that I actually had to then take care of... They are both still alive and growing. 13th : Last last day in Shreveport. 14th : My first time seeing the Yankees play in Minute Maid Park. (Oddly enough, second time to see them this season.) 15th : Fantastic day at the local winery--complete with tour, tastings, food, live blues, and dancing. 18th & 19t...

Two years ago today I started blogging. Yea me! It was a very productive yet fun weekend. I'll try to get pics up later this week. Yea for house projects!

I have been very busy this week trying to get lots of work done and trying to remember not to call The Brother (who is out of the country) and trying to find a little more balance and trying to keep my sanity. And traveling. You know what I want to do? Work in the yard. Gasp! I know! But I don't want to mow (even thought that REALLY needs to be done). And I don't want to trim trees. Or weed the beds. Or get rid of that vine that is slowly creeping its way towards the house where it will kill us all. What I want to do is plant stuff. If you could see this place right now you'd think the last thing I need to do is put more stuff in the ground. But see, I have this little bed on the side of the garage and another one near the back entrance to the porch. And they have basically been stripped down except for a few weeds. I want to redo those. I even had inspiration on the plane last night (which has been happening a lot lately). Maybe this weekend the garage bed will get a make...

The woot shirt of the day already sold out. Here's what it looked like and was entitled "It's Going Out Faster Than It's Coming In." I mean, it really is a cute shirt but I find humor in people shelling out the cash to buy it. heehee (Photo courtesy of http://shirt.woot.com/ )
