Blah Blah Blah
Why am I up at 6:30 you ask? What happened to the Julie that used to be able to sleep in until around 9 or even later? I don't know, if you find her please tell her I miss her and the sleep we shared together. Actually, I was up at 6, or just before. Keith has to get up that early and I have to turn the alarm off... He has yet to master the alarm clock at the age of 32. He can build a computer piece by piece but he has no idea how to set an alarm or how to turn it off. Well, that is the story he is sticking to anyway. Anyway, I can't sleep past 6 anymore. I miss sleeping in even though I haven't done it in years. I have to admit though that I do enjoy the morning air, the birds chirping and all that happy crap. Speaking of mornings... Yesterday I was getting my cup of coffee when I saw something BIG out of the corner of my eye. It was outside on the edge of the woods...I thought to myself " Self, is that the creature saying good morning? Why is he just standing there.... doesn't he know what will happen if somebody sees him or is he a thrill seeker" Ever so slowly I looked up and saw a deer on it's hind legs trying to get a leaf from a tree. I don't know anything about deer except that they taste good dried up as jerky...so don't ask me anything about him or her, whatever. It was a nice moment being able to watch him but gave me another reason for odd feeling like I am always camping here... I moved to the patio area so I could see him better... watched him for a bit until he decided to go further in the woods for day. I hope the creature doesn't find him, maybe he enjoys a little deer jerky himself. I rather enjoyed seeing a little bit of nature first thing in the morning.
I am one of those people that gets addicted to an author. Once I find one that I like I HAVE to read them until I have read all their books. I'll be toward the end of one book and run out that day and get another by the same author because God forbid I don't get my fix. I picked up a book by Heather Graham at a yard sale not long ago and it is really good. It is a Civil War historical romance book... I looked on line last night at the author's webpage and holy crap this woman has wrote allot of books under her name and two other names!! I don't think I will be able to read all her books but at least I know she is a fall back author, if you know what I mean. I am in awe that people can write that many books. I barely can figure out what to write in my Blog from time to time... I can't even imagine having to write a book.
Speaking of books Janet Evanovich just came out with her 12th book. I am soooooo excited. I LOVE her books, the Plum series mainly. I am a cheap ass though and refuse to pay almost 30 bucks for a hard cover that will take me two days at the most to read. So, even though I can't wait to read it it is going to have to wait until it comes out on paperback or I find it in a used book store. Anyway, her books make me laugh outloud, they are so funny, and just good overall so check it out. Start with the number one book though so you know what the hell is going on!!
The South has gotten HOT and very very HUMID again. Blah, it has gotten so I don't want to be out in the afternoon. It sucks having to tote Em around in it... either carrying her or chasing her around... getting her situated in the car... It sucks. She can't play outside in the afternoon so, our summer schedule has begun. If I don't have errands to run in the MORNING then she plays outside... we eat lunch, she naps hopefully, then she does some stuff in the house... play, watch TV, whatever. Then towards evening she can go back out... The problem now though is her getting bit up as well, she actually got bit by a tick the other day. Everything is a challenge, I swear. Just to get her out the door I have to lube her up in sunblock and now bug repellent. By then she proably has shit herself and I have to change a diaper, get her out... then she wants her Juice....Then I have to start dinner and she is opening up and closing the back door every two seconds letting in 50 flies... She is bringing half her sandbox and the dogs are whining because they keep going in and out two and they don't know what the hell we are doing....By then Keith is coming home and the dogs are jumping up and down to greet him along with Em who is whining and screaming "Daddy".... He takes over grill duty if things are not done yet.... I am trying to finish things in the house with Em trying to climb up my leg, I get her plate ready, Keith starts his, by the time I sit to eat Em wants "DOOOOOWN" and then wants to sit in my lap because God forbid I should eat in peace. Then we clean up, Em might go outside again but more than likely she is a mess and I start stripping her for her bath.... get soaking wet doing so because she thinks it's oh so funny to throw water at Mommy...have to go outside and pick up all her toys, clean up the table and all the lick spots on the floor where the dogs have eaten thrown food from Em, then sweep the floor for the 50th time that day from all the sand and whatever crap the dogs brought in with them... Then finally at some point I get to sit down, usually around 7 and that is when Em decides to do her gymnastics on the couch...By 7:30 I am picking up the house from the Toy explosion, getting Em ready for bed and then I head for the couch where I lay in a zone with my eyes bugging out of my head, my mouth hanging open, and drool hanging from my lip hoping to God I get through it another day tomorrow... So, that is our summer routine.
Remember how I had said I wanted to change the look of my Blog? Well, I actually paid a designer to do it and then that week she closed her business... My luck. I got my money back and I still have this look. I would do it myself but I want something very specific and I don't know how to do it... I refuse to pay 100 bucks or more to get it done, because again, I am a cheap ass...so I guess it's not happening people. Maybe I will actually get some time to sit and read the "how to" websites but until then the look is staying the same.
Anyway, guess that is all for now... Tata
