I love the rain.
Love love love love love the rain.
P.S. I have recently taken to eating the macintosh apples WHILE THEY ARE STILL ON THE TREE!! That way I don’t pick one and then put it down somewhere and forget where it is!! I am so smart.
What I like about September:
1) dogs can eat the blackberries right off the vine
2) dahlias
3) spiders
4) macintosh apples picked and eaten right from the tree in my backyard
5) begonias
6) no leaves on the ground yet
7) sunny and warm
8) gets dark at a reasonable hour
9) pennant races
10) no hurricanes where I live
what I like:
1) sunny Septembers
2) my new Chihuahua puppy, Carmelita
3) my haircut
what I hate:
1) generic maple & brown sugar shredded wheat
2) computers
3) my haircut
Just remember that way back in Iowa I called this whole president thing. I stand by my prediction even though it doesn’t make me happy. Especially considering that weirdo Alaskan Nazi woman. But hey, all that really matters is that I will be able to say “I told you so” as I drive my son over the Canadian border to keep him out of the wars in Iran and North Korea and Venezuela and the Falkland Islands.
We only have 5.5 billion years to develop warp drive and colonize other planets before our sun blows up and becomes a white dwarf and wipes out all life on earth.
That’s not much time.
I made me a facebook page and I already have 10 friends.
You have to be my friend to see it though, I think.
How come no one ever writes on my blog anymore just because I didn’t put anything on it for months and it was down for months and so on. Sheesh.
This running mate of McCain sounds like one of those women who if I worked with her I would have to put my iPod earbuds in and crank the volume up every time she came in the room. She wants to take the polar bear off the endangered species list. Poor polar bears.
P.S. The weather ABSOLUTELY SUCKS!!! How could it have been worse than last August? But it is. How come the globe doesn’t warm where I live?
by the way, I did watch some Olympics. I gotta tell ya that if you’re going to watch the Olympics, you really need Canadian TV. It is infinitely better than NBC. Infinitely. As in, infinity. They actually cover the competition. When I would flip to NBC during a Canadian commerical, at least 95% of the time there would be a) a human interest story, b) Bob Costas interviewing someone, c) another commercial or d) beach volleyball. I saw almost no actual sports on NBC.
The Canadian coverage is thorough, fair and soothing on the ears. Their voices are not loud. They don’t yammer constantly. There are hardly any human interest stories. You get to watch the whole competition. You get to see athletes who are not American. Nothing against the Americans - U-S-A! BUT I like to see the people from Belarus and the Congo and Bahrain. I love the Muslim women wearing their full body covering track clothes. And I love the qualifying rounds where you get to see all the obscure athletes who don’t have a prayer of qualifying.
Anyway.
I don’t have anything unique or interesting to observe. The Chinese girls look 10. Duh. And beach volleyball is weird and stupid, but I guess it helps the ratings to throw a little soft porn in there. Why so much, though?
Those are my belated comments on the Olympics.
I might watch Hillary Clinton talk. Or I might watch Cash Cab. Or maybe I’ll just walk the dogs until time to go to bed.
I haven’t had a blog for so long, I forget that when something pops into my mind that I want to put on my blog, now I can!
So, I just happened to be watching Ted Kennedy speak at the convention, and when he said something about “I will be there next January when blah blah blah” they cut to Maria Shriver and Caroline Kennedy Whatshername, and the faces of those two women who know the real story both told me “nope.” So long Teddy.
I have sorely missed my little marbleblog. I needed to upgrade the software and to do that I needed to backup the database and download and upload a bunch of files, and it’s not that huge of a deal, but I have been very very very busy and it just didn’t get done.
So I had to block access to the old blog because of security risks or somesuch.
Anyway, I’m back and will be good now. There are so many things on which to comment these days.
So that’s what I’ll do. But probably not tonight.
1) At 9:22 PM it’s still light enough to be pulling weeds outside. I had to force myself to come in and feed the dogs. I have to pull the drapes just to watch Balactica. Just remember that when, in December, I have to walk the dogs at 3:45 just to get back before it’s dark.
2) I planted 24 impatiens and 30 marigolds today. They are so pretty.
3) It’s cold outside. But not too cold.
4) For dinner I had two Jif creamy peanut butter and fluffy white butter-top bread sandwiches. Yum.
5) Tomorrow is Flag Day, my second favorite holiday.
6) Tim Russert was only 58. Sheesh.
7) I don’t think doctors should yawn and ignore you when you are asking them questions no matter how uninteresting your questions are.
8) Even though it’s kind of overcast these days, I still live in the most beautiful place on earth. In case I had never mentioned that before.
9) I’m listening to book #1 of 21 or something of the Master & Commander series. I like it a lot. I wonder if I’ll still like it a lot when I’m on #21. I wonder how long it will take me to get to #21. I always wanted to read them but now I can listen to them whilst grocery shopping and pulling weeds. It’s a good life. Except that I had to get a new iPod because I have worn mine out.
I don’t know why I got my blog back up - I don’t even wish myself happy birthday on my very own birthday! It was cloudy and overcast and gray, which it has been every birthday since I was 9 except for maybe one. Or maybe two. But no more than two.
