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.

That’s what I have in my backyard. Bees and rhodies.

After all the trouble I went through to get my blog back up (well, except for the pictures which are probably lost forever), I certainly don’t seem to have anything to blog about.

I could blog about the Mariners but it’s too depressing. I could blog about work but it’s too boring. I could blog about politics but it’s too ridiculous. I could blog about the meaning of life, but I don’t think there really is one. So anyway. Lots of bees. Lots of rhodies, in various state of bloomingness.

I’ll write on my blog again after I get all caught up on Balactica. Finished season 3 last night - HOLY FRACK!!! I mean, seriously. Holy motherfracking frack.

For God’s sake, will someone get it through to me that tariff is one R and two FFs instead of the other way around????  Written, it’s easy.  Orally, I keep putting two damn RRs in it.  Fool that I am.

Wish me luck tonight.  Or don’t.

To all the muthas out there.

I need to get back in the blog habit. Not that it’s ever been a strong one.

By the way, I did not like getting hacked. Not one little bit. I never again will ignore security updates. And my databases are double and triple backed up. Take THAT all you stinking hackerses.

We’re back!! We’re back!! Obviously, my template is gone and my photos are gone and there are probably a bunch of glitches. But I’ll get it all sorted out sooner or later.

For now, I am just VERY happy to be back - just BARELY in time for the spelling bee next Tuesday.

My favorite word so far:

tchotchke

(pronounced, “chotchkey” meaning trinkets and nicknacks and stuff)

Ed note:  “chotch-KUH”

In case anyone wonders what 90 cupcakes looks like…

Off to a birthday party. See you on Tuesday!

like:

1) my hair now that it’s long again
2) my new blue jeans
3) Ballykissangel
4) left over Easter ham that I didn’t have to cook
5) my new dental floss
6) clean sheets
7) all the new daffodils that I had forgotten I’d planted

hate:

1) being out of milk and cereal and chocolate ice cream and mango-pomegranate bubble bath
2) going to the grocery store
3) having to spend $700 on leaking cam seals
4) not knowing (or caring) what cam seals are
5) melting polar ice caps
6) these stupid democrats
7) shoes that must be worn with skirts
8) skirts
9) having more things on my “what I hate” list than on my “what I like” list
10) being too tired to go back and add more things to the “what I like” list

How many am I? Grumpy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Dopey

I guess just 4.

Not particularly Bashful. Not particularly Happy. Although it certainly is possible to be Happy and Grumpy at the same time. But I’m too Sleepy to be both. Maybe just a tad Happy. I guess I’m a Doc, in a sense.

So, 4.6
