Is today the day?

Is today the day......that I get to lay out in the sun and get a nice tan?
........no not today -- I have tax stuff to work on

***************

Is today the day......that I get to curl up in bed with "Decision Points"?
........no not today -- I have many bills to pay

***************

Is today the day......that I get to go and buy some new clothes for upcoming events?
........no not today -- I have to clean up all the "little projects" that are cluttering my desk

***************

Is today the day......that I get to make plans for a glorious Caribbean vacation?
........no not today -- I have to get last week's paperwork caught up.

***************

Is today the day......that I get to get my hair highlighted and get a cute new cut?
........no not today -- I have to go to the bank, go to the grocery store, and stop by the vet.

***************

Is today the day......that I get to dream about all the things I was wishing I could do or places I could be?
........yes today -- because dreaming about all these things can easily be achieved while working your butt off!

Wordless Wednesday.......featuring Aaron

Hauntings

Do you believe in ghosts?

I do. I think that the spirits of those we have loved stay with us and watch over us.

I also think that they love to show us signs that they are around.

We lost Leslie back in November. She was fast becoming a member of our family and brought lots of noise and excitement when she came into our ordinarily quiet house. Personally, I lost someone I really thought was going to be my daughter-in-law someday and we really had a great relationship. I was looking forward to all the fun things we were planning and finally getting a chance to enjoy having a "girl" around my house.

Well lately I think Leslie has been around letting us know that she's still around and once again, she's making LOTS of noise.

First event: One of the spoons in my collector's rack flew off the rack onto the floor. All of these spoons are secure and no one ever touches them.



Second event: Paul and I were in the office and the dart board fell off the wall with a GIANT crash. We just got done putting it up on the wall when.......







Third event: a stack of folders in the same room fell into a giant heap.







Fourth event: A couple of hours later that same spoon flew out of the spoon rack again. Interestingly enough -- the spoon that keeps falling off has a dolphin on the handle (her mom loves dolphins)and no other spoons have fallen.




Fifth event: Things have been quiet and then last night one of my new frying pans fell off the counter (when no one was in the kitchen). I had to give her a little lecture on this one though, because it was a brand new frying pan and now the edge is dented and the lid won't fit on it. I asked her the next time she wants attention to go back to knocking spoons off the rack and not messing with my new pots and pans!

In addition to these noise making activities, I have walked into our laundry room on two occasions and just caught a small whiff of her perfume. At that moment I tried once again to catch that smell thinking there was something in the room -- but it was gone.

Believe what you want or do not want, but I know she's around and she knows that we miss her like crazy!

Fabulous Weekend Planned

Getting all set for a great weekend.

Here's some of the things I will need:











Anyone want to come and help?

Here's my list in no particular order:
* dog's health
* taxes (not prepared)
* getting caught up
* stores
* staff
* I'm fat
* household chores
* money
* time
* to-do list

However, there was one bright spot today. I thought I HAD to do laundry today since I ran out of underwear, but I found some that got mis-drawered. Yeah......I can postpone it for four more days!

What should we call Wednesdays?

Reading different blogs it's fun to see people's ideas.

Wordless Wednesday seems to be popular. This is where you post a picture and don't say anything. But I want to be different (cause you all know I certainly am)

I thought about "One Word Wednesdays". I could post a picture and try to capture the theme with only one word.

I thought about "Weird Wednesdays". I could just post a random picture that really is non-important, but still shares something about my life.

So what should it be?

Maybe I could mix it up a little and do all of them -- then you would have a challenge and surprise each Wednesday keeping up with me!

While I'm still pondering this life altering decision, I will share the pictures that I took for today when it was originally going to be "One Word Wednesday".

Caliente!

Muy Caliente!

P.S. My new Cayenne pepper plant and it already has about 10 peppers growing on it!
