I am still recovering, and could not be more bored. I will go to work tomorrow, so this is my last day to relax and heal. I think allergies are part of the problem, not just pneumonia.
First, I took a photo of something that drives Ann nuts. You know how we all have these little peeves that can destroy a day? This is one thing that drives her crazy about me. SHOES. I have shoes everywhere.
Proof:
This is just the porch, lol.
Jan sent me an email with old advertisements. Many of them were promoting cigarettes, including doctors. This one is my favorite. I guess I have been dieting wrong my whole life. No wonder it has never worked.
Sunday PM
We went out to our favorite Mexican restaurant. I took some pictures this afternoon too. Lucille was a month old yesterday, and I neglected to acknowledge the day. Ann’s rock garden is in full bloom. I think she is going to enlarge it. I just wish these flowers lasted longer than they do.
Lucille is getting big.
Sounds like some one is bored. Especially if you are taking pictures of shoes. When you are resting, maybe you should work on a hobby. What happen to making those rugs?
Seriously glad you are getting better. That’s funny how many shoes you have just on the porch. So, tell us how many shoes do you actually own and what does she do that drives you crazy? lol
I have a lot of shoes, and I really do leave them around. What does Ann do that drives me crazy? She says that the dishwasher is kryptonite to her species, so she will not touch it. Also, she often forgets where the recycle bin is when she finishes her diet coke. lol
I added a couple more photos.
I always got on the kids and hubby regarding extra prs of shoes laying around. The rule was, “You only have 1 pair of feet.” So any extra shoes not put away, were thrown down the basement steps. I’m with Ann on the shoes issue.
I hate the vacuum cleaner. When I was in college, I used to clean houses to make extra money, and one vacuum blew up on me and caught fire. I now leave the vacuuming for everyone else! lol
well, i do not like shoes. Trouble is that Florida kind of requires them. It’s sunny enough most of the year that you’d blister your feet on any paved surface, and it doesn’t freeze and kill all those earth dwelling parasites so walking in grass is bad too. I would leave shoes at every door if i could, except that a couple of the dogs think they are chew toys.
and i agree with Ann about the toxicity of dishwater. Fortunately Patti and i have an agreement. I cook. She washes dishes. It works.
Jan, over the years i have sploded a couple of pickups and maybe a car or two…but never a vacuum. It kind of sounds like fun- but you know, i kind of like sploding things.
Kathie, please take it easy going back to school. Teaching may be all you have energy for in a day…remember to take it easy on yourself.
I once had a cat tail explode in my living room. Those white things were every where. I had to get the vacuum and hold it in the air, trying to suck them up. It did not explode at once, it was kind of like a circular explosion. It just kept going around the thing and around and around. Remember Dianna? I called your mom in a panic!
I am going to take it easy today. I did not sleep last night but four hours, so I am really going to be tired. I just cannot read when I go to bed, it stimulates my brain. Tonight it is Motrin PM. I am a wild woman.
I would have a problem in a place I could not go barefoot. I really kick my shoes off the minute I can, thus all the shoes on the porch. I am barefoot in the house most of the winter too. The bottom of my feet are like leather.
I do remember that, we were all HYSTERICAL on the phone!! I also remember Ann trying to blame me for leaving a diet coke on the counter and not in the recycling bin, that was funny too. hahahaha
you do not want to get me started on plants in the living room- I still remember when i lived in new mexico- we had tumbleweeds blowing all over the place…and of course Kathie had always wanted one…
so i’m riding along in my truck one day on a relatively quiet street when a really nice round one blew in front of me, and i stopped and grabbed it. I SHOULD have put it in a box and mailed it. I should not have been the only one to experience the fact that the damn things ought to be called porcupine balls. It took hours to get all those damn tiny thorns out of my hands.
OMG, Pam, OUCH and LMAO at the same time!
I hate shoes!!! I am a barefooter! ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barefoot ) I only own 2 pairs of shoes and one pair can’t really be called shoes. Clarks Mules and flipflops. I wear the Clarks ONLY when there is snow on the ground. Otherwise, I wear flipflops.
My problem with shoes? I get ingrown toenails if you stare too hard at my feet and I have a screw in my right ankle that sticks out so tennis shoes hit it and make me unable to walk.
I Love the Rock Garden!!
Happy 1 Month Lucille!!!!
I can attest to the fact Becky wears flip flops in the winter!
I have wanted a tumbleweed for a long time. Ann and I were in New Mexico and the wind was blowing so hard that at one point it took my sun glasses blew them into a distant field. We were driving and the tumbleweed were blowing in front of the car, behind the car, and hitting the car. I kept announcing, “Tumbleweed alert!” every time. Finally Ann announced “If you say that one more time I am going to kill you.” You know I had to, at least one more time.
I did not know they were picky though. Maybe I do not want one.
My sister is a barefooter! I’m only 1/2 a barefooter, hahaha.
Kathie I can so see you and Ann in this car and you saying “tumbleweed alert” everytime one went and the look on Ann’s face as she warned you she’d have to kill you if you did it one more time and of course the kid in you HAD to do it. I’m here laughing hysterical at the whole picture in my mind. Thanks for the laugh!
Kathie, I hope your feeling a whole lot better because I’m missing your blogging and your pictures. So, hurry up and get well fast.
I think I can honestly say I am almost over this thing. I can sleep though the night without keeping the county awake with my coughing or snoring.
I have been taking some pictures this week, and Ann and I made a video while driving in the but. I will post all of that this weekend. The chickens are fine. The baby has gotten so big that I she can use the hanging waterer now. That means I do not have to keep a second on the ground for them to walk and poop in. I will do this by Sunday.
That should read….driving the bug….hahahahahaha
Seriously glad your feeling better!
