It was a long weekend - why don't I feel rested??

Oh yeah, because I worked my ass off, that's why.

Thursday night with the girls was a hoot. Lots of good food, good wine, good laughs. I was so glad I demanded Linda's presence - and even more glad that Cinde force Ang out of her anger-ridden stupor and made her come, too.

I decided to take the day on Friday despite my ever increasing workload. My brain just can't take it. I can't think this hard and be asked this many questions. I'm on overload. I had to get away. It was good - Friday - I got some laundry done, got some work done. The neighbor, the pony neighbor - yeah, we had to call 911 for him. He bashed his head with post-driver. He slammed the post driver onto the post, the post driver ricocheted off the post and hit him in the head. 2-inch gash and head wounds tend to bleed a lot. His wife was at work, so it was just him and the kids and the pony. He ended up with 9 or 10 stitches and a clean CT scan.

I planted a vegetable garden, kids. We'll see how it goes. I had Kevin plow under an area alongside the driveway. It's small, it's close, it should work out fine. I planted a lot more vegetables that I originally planned, but I think it's okay. I'll keep you posted. Tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, peppers, cucumbers, green beans and peas. And then I put in some annuals around it and some sunflowers. I love sunflowers!

Yesterday a spontaneous cookout erupted at my new neighbor's house - Miss Mary - she runs the preschool where Owen used to go. Her husband had lots of great imported beers, we spent a couple hours over there chatting and eating. Booooo rain - hooray beer!

ETA: Julie brought Hayden down and caused the whole Fandango on Thursday night - she was a total catalyst for fun and all my Roselawn friends love her. Because she's fabulous. Absolutely fabulous.

Byoooootiful weather in Oregon this weekend. I actually am a little tan, and spent yesterday picking Strawberries at a nearby farm, then came home and had the neighbors over for steak on the grill and pie. Doesn't get any better than that.

rain??? where the hell do you live that you got rain??? Nobody else got rain!!!! I myself worked yesterday, but only till 3, then came home, cut the grass, watched one neighbor fight with the other over the fact that the hillbilly neighbor keeps walking thru the other neighbor's lawn to get to the crack house behind THAT neighbor, it was cool. Then big R cooked steaks in the grill, whilst I lit a fire to burn all the freaking branches that came down in the big storm, then we ate the steaks with those veggies with a stalk and a tip, covered in hollindase sauce and boiled potatoes,YUUUMMMMYYYYY. Then I took a shower (smelled like a fire) watched some tube and hit the sack at 9:30.

Not even one mention about me and h coming to Owen's game and playing at the crumarosa.

Color me pouting.

Well, everyone- I had fun hanging with the crums and being the catalyst for Rebecca's Fandango.

Hayden loves the Crums and their house. He is clearly at home there.
And that is wonderful because i got a little more sleep while Bek made pancakes for my kid in the AM. God bless the Godmother!

Julie, I don't know what you're talking about - I totally mentioned you.

Some people are just never happy.
