Frenzied Friday

For some reason my mind seems "scattered" today. . .I have a lot of little things to do and I think I'm worried that I will forget something. We have a bit of traveling on the agenda for the weekend. Weather permitting, we would like to go to 2 T-Ball games and then there is a dance recital!!! The recital is NOT weather dependent although I do remember a recital when my daughter was on stage at the big auditorium in town when there was a deluge outside and who knew there was a hole in the roof right over the stage!!! She got to her final pose and even from the audience you could see the water drips falling and hitting her on the back. . .but, being the true dancer, she held that pose until the lights faded and the curtain closed!!! You GO Girl!!!

It isn't even 8 am yet and it is already 81 degrees outside so I would imagine it is going to be a wet weekend here. . .and since it has been kind of warm and I'm not feeling up to par, I have spent time quietly in front of the computer scrapping away so here goes. . .

Wild Wednesday

Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment and thought afterwards I would run a few errands on that side of town thinking I would then have today completely free to work on the computer all day. Well, I got out of the doctor's appointment and took a look at radar. . .thought I could definitely get all my errands in before the rain got here. Stopped at Target to pick up 2 things. . .knew exactly what I needed and where they were so it was an in and out kind of stop. While I was at the checkout, it absolutely started POURING!!! I waited for a good 10 minutes to go to the van and finally decided that it was going to be raining for a while so I dug my umbrella out of my purse and took off for the van. Did I mention it was POURING??? By the time I got to the van, I was literally soaked to my skin!!! So much for getting those errands done. . .on the way home it was raining so hard I could barely see to stay on the highway!!! So, today, I have to venture out and get the rest of those errands done!!! And, to top it off, since I was so wet yesterday, I think I'm coming down with a cold. . .UGH!!!

But, I have been spending a bit of time on the computer so here goes. . .

Woo-Hoo!!! Long Weekend Ahead!!!

We have a 3-day weekend ahead of us and I have to say I am E-X-C-I-T-E-D!!! Not that we are going to do anything spectacular, but there are quiet, fun things to do!!! Tomorrow I plan on making some salads to pop in the fridge. . .we have storms in the forecast for the weekend so we may get to grill out once, but I want to be able to put meat in the oven and just pull out those salads when we are ready to eat!!! Then Sunday, for this racing fan I an incredible excited for not just the Indy 500, but also the Coke 600!!! Two races pretty much back to back, goodness, that sounds AWESOME to me!!! Then Monday, there is nothing planned. Next week will be super busy. . .I have an appointment bright and early on Tuesday and have to take care of recital flowers and finalize a couple of birthday presents.

Tonight, I think we are going to celebrate our anniversary which was yesterday. But, we'll see how those plans pan out. Several decades ago, we arrived at our honeymoon destination with me being so car-sick I could hardly stand it!!! To this day I hate a long car ride!!!

I have managed to do a bit of scrapping the last few days so here goes. . .

Brrrrrr!!!

OK, it is officially past mid-May and already this month we have been very close to 90-degrees. . .it is just the opposite today!!! My dh is mowing the yard and just came in to get a jacket!!! Now, you have to understand he is very hot-natured and in the midst of winter will wear what I consider to be a lightweight jacket!!! Tomorrow, the high MIGHT get to 50-degrees and there is rain in the forecast!!! At least it is rain and not snow!!! Now, THAT would be tragic!!!

Since it is so chilly and my joints are acting up a bit, I took the day to just scrap, so here goes. . .

Monday Mosquito Mayhem

This weekend, I went over to the neighbor's house. She is an elderly lady and I suspect she is quite lonely since her husband passed away so I stood outside and talked with her for a while. . .all the time getting mosquito bites!!! Now, for most people, a mosquito bite is just an annoying inconvenience, but with my autoimmune system, it makes my life miserable!!! This morning, I woke up before 3 am in pain!!! I have one mosquito bite that is about 3 inches in diameter and so darn hard and HOT. The others are hard and hot, but they are about half that size. I didn't suspect that mosquitos would be out in force yet, so I am totally out of anything to try to get a little bit of relief. . .that will be remedied as soon as the store opens!!! My immune system thinks these bites are a major invasion and it has attacked that area in full force!!! Typically, I hold back a bit of medicine when I can get it from the doctor and one little tablet takes care of it, but I am out and the doctor just will not prescribe it unless I have something else going on. . .funny how a bottle of pills that sells for under a dollar can't be readily available to me. I can take comfort in knowing that if this year is like past years, the next mosquito bite will be even WORSE!!! Typically the first bite isn't so bad and they get progressively worse. . .last year, my entire forearm swelled - UGH!!! Painful and miserable, so I try to avoid the outdoors at all costs!!!

So, to try to take my mind off this pain, I started scrapping a bit and here's the results. . .

Sultry Saturday

Well, when I got up this morning, it was a very humid 76 already!!! The clouds look like pea soup!!! So, since it is so hot, I'm spending the day indoors and scrapping, so here goes. . .

Fantastic Friday

OK, I think today has been a fantastic day, but I can't really put my finger on why I think that!!! It has been pretty much an ordinary day and while I have a bit of computer work to do, I have pretty much everything else done. There are storms moving in for tonight and my dh is going to bring home something for dinner. Tonight there's not one but TWO NASCAR races so that sounds like a bunch of fun and if that isn't enough, it is the season finale of The Amazing Race!!! Sounds like a good evening!!! Then tomorrow I have absolutely NOTHING planned which is even better!!! It is supposed to be stormy most of the weekend so it sounds good just to be able to stay home and relax a bit!!!

And, if you follow my blog at all, you know for me that relaxing always involves a couple of scrapbooking pages so here goes. . .
