• I’ve been Photoshopping all day today. I was supposed to be working on a website layout, but instead I’ve been making graphics for my own use.     Lonnie’s going to kill me!    

• I still haven’t figured out why not all of the smilies show up when I type the shortcuts in. Must be a Wordpress glitch or something.  Oh well…I’m not bothered enough by it to attempt to fix it.

• It’s been SO hot the past few days. My daughter wanted to have a picnic, but there’s no way I’m willing to sit outside in the extreme heat and eat.  We’re going to have to wait and do it once it cools down a bit.

• Lonnie’s cat just went into heat again.  

• I ran out of creamer for my coffee earlier.       I really hate it when that happens.  I much prefer my coffee with a splash of creamer…but I’ll drink it black if need be - which is exactly what I did.

• I was going to call my Dad today, but I doubt that he’s up to talking on the phone. I can’t wait to hear his voice again. I’ve been really worried about him. Knowing he’s all laid up in the hospital and I can’t visit him is killing me!   

• Tomorrow is my Mom’s birthday. Although I dread the idea of turning the oven on, I need to. I’ve got to bake her a birthday cake. Birthdays aren’t the same without a cake & candles.  (She’s turning 61…although she claims to still be 39…AS IF!)

• I just asked Lonnie to rub some Tiger Balm into my shoulders and neck. I hurt SO badly today. I carried a huge air conditioner from downstairs all the way up stairs. I had no choice. Since Lonnie had four teeth extracted, it’s against the dentist’s orders to lift heavy stuff…that left me.  I’m certainly paying for it now. My back hurts!!!

• Wow, cool. I didn’t expect him to rub Tiger Balm on my neck while I sit here, but he just started doing it, so I can continue to blog while I get rubbed down. This is the life!    :D

• I chatted with Amir for a few hours today!       It was so nice to chat with him again. He’s always such a positive influence…he could make the Grinch smile!

•  The vapors from the Tiger Balm are making my eyes burn.    :o

•  Baked Cheetos are so freakin’ tasty! Mmmm!

•  We bought a new doorknob for our bedroom door. I can’t believe it didn’t have a locking knob to begin with. That should be a given, right? I mean, it’s a five bedroom house…a house this big is almost always going to have kids living in it. Parents need a way to lock themselves in their room! The last thing my kids need is to be scarred for life because they came barging into our room and got an eyeful of some X-rated shenanigans! GOSH! Home builders need to use their noggins!

•  I love Legos!

•  Well, it’s 6:30 at night and I have no idea what to make for dinner. We normally eat at 6:30, so this is not a good sign.       I’d better get off of here and go prepare some food for the family.  Buh-bye for now!
