Check out this red Gladiola in our yard! It just appeared this Saturday - quite a surprise. Beautiful, lipstick red! Props to Sister for the pic...Speaking of the yard, what a find I made in the garage! Another snakeskin! I started to pull it down, and it kept coming. When I finally retrieved it, I held it up, and it was taller than me. I usually like to keep those things, but this just creeped me out. I threw it in the "Herbie Curbie," but realized that was cruel and unusual punishment for the trash folk, so I pulled it out and stuffed it deep into one of the trash bags. I wonder where that snake is now?! I hope I won't find out.
For those of you hanging on the edge of your seats, I promise to do better blogging. I've just fallen out o' the habit.
Work has been lots of new and exciting stuff, but I realize you may not all want to hear about my days at the landfill. I'll try to limit it to the exciting stuff like lost church money and found kittens. Probably the most exciting thing is that I'm still getting up at 5:30/45 a.m. and making it to work by 8 every morning. AMAZING for a girl who until two weeks ago never got out of bed until the first half hour of Today was over.
I've gotten back into reading lately. I'm in the Stephen King mode, mostly because I know I like it. I tried to read Lisey's Story, but it lost me midway - too far out. A few nights ago, I started Cell, which seems to be better. My "book club" chose Catherine the Great this time, and I just couldn't do it. So if any of you have any recommendations for suspenseful books that aren't bloody, cheesy theme mysteries or about Southern ladies or Sweet Potato Queens, send them my way.
A quick shout out to Roxanne who starts a new job on Monday. Girl, come back home - we miss you! And we must have dinner soon - so much to show and tell. And our gorilla waiter misses us!
Parting story. Winston says that living with two girls makes life tough! This morning, he was sleeping on my bed when Pikachu the Cat dared to run by and cast a glance at his beloved Cliffy. As he jumped off the bed, his back leg got caught up in one of my bras, and he dragged it around the house as he chased the cat. You could almost hear Pika laughing as Winnie freaked out. It's hard to be tough with lingerie around your leg!
And on that note, have a good weekend, and watch your back legs!
