Daybook

Outside my window.....cat food eating chickens and a psychotic rooster crowing at sunset.

____________

I am thinking.......that self tanning moisturizing lotion is absolutely, 100%, positively the nastiest smelling thing one can do to one's self. I'd rather be pale.

______________

I am thankful for........kind drivers. Living in a part of the world where big rumbling ranch trucks with hatted cowboys and geriatrics in Oldsmobiles still let you in. The sheer joy of kindness meeting kindness on lone Texas highways...a flick of the hand to acknowledge life and humanity...instead of running your butt over. Where all of the world is just kinder.

_______________

I am wearing...........spandex shorts and a tank top with socks and a ponytail.

_______________

I am hearing.........Sons of the Desert "What I Did Right"... and Baby Einstein. I love the song...but they don't mix.

_______________

I am remembering........that Grant's stomach was upset 2 weeks ago and when they stopped at the Wal Mart in Eastland he got a little more than he bargained for when he had some flatulence issues. And his clothes are still sitting in a Wal Mart sack out in the shop. And I was so sick I kinda forgot about them. I should probably wash them.....but......

_______________

I am going...........to not put on self tanning lotion ever again

______________

I am reading........the back of the Sprayway glass cleaner can.

______________

I am hoping......that I at least get a half way decent body color out of this deal to make all the stink worthwhile.

_____________

On my mind.......Chik Fil A

_____________

Noticing that..........pale is the new fashion.

______________

Pondering these words.........

Garrett.... "It's a much prettier day in the front yard. And it's not a pretty day at all in the backyard. So, may we play out front now?"

____

Gavin...."I put a booger on your cover last night....but it's gone now cause Ivye ate it."

___

Aubrey....."I think Choco's pregnant! I think Chippo got her pregnant by rubbing her back! Is that how Daddy gets you pregnant, mom....by rubbing your back too?"

Me... "Ummm.....in theory.....yes.

______________

From the kitchen.........bean and cheese tostadas

___________

Around the house..........an overwhelming amount of crap to be tackled....and not alot of motivation to do it.

____________

One of my favorite things........not the Wal Mart sack out in the shop.

____________

From my picture journal.........still entirely entertained by the fact that we have the ability to recreate this picture 6 years later
