Aww... :-\
I usually remember pretty much the day of...I wake up and think, “Hey, this date is something important. But what?” By then it’s too late to mail anything...
I can call, at least. And maybe offer to get her some sort of gift certificate, though I don’t know what she’d prefer.
At least the next birthday is local. ;-) Brother. And I managed a gift for the littlest niece today...even if I did run out and buy it this morning...
Heh...OK. Pony has quite a temper, doesn’t she? ;-)
No rain in the forecast so far! Looks like maybe Pacific Northwest summer has arrived!
I’m kinda tempted to up and ride my bike to work tomorrow... Except I think there’s construction along the way.
Dangit, I can’t keep saying that without scoping out the route.
I’m gonna go do that...’cause I’m nuts. ;-)
Hey... some nice forestry goin’ on there... :-)
Hey yeah - I’m married to an Ax Man... We’re going to upload that to youtube in a bit here so we can post it. :~)
Woohooo!
I’m so thrilled...just has really given me something to look forward to! Which is a good thing.
My bp went back up. You know they took me off one med and decreased my patch strength? Well, my pressure shot up to 160/110. I put back on my stronger patch and now it’s back down to around 140/90.
I’ll call the nephrologist tomorrow and will be going to see my new primary care doctor on Tuesday.
And I’m in series need of glasses. The hit my right eye took in February is making it so I can’t really drive safely. I go see the ophthamologist on the 12th.
~sigh~
Well, I look forward to filling out my medical forms with my new pen when it gets here!
PS: Nice new thread!
I have my important birthdays programed into my cell phone scheduler! HA!
I know exactly how you feel. It’s one of the reasons I’m so wanting that bit of land.
You know what we did? We had to buy sand to fill up our septic tank after we connected on with the city and I swear, I can’t even get Matthew out of it! He’s as big as I am and just loves it. Joshua is WILD about it and has clothes out in the garage reserved just for playing in the sand. He strips down to his drawers before he comes in and then takes a shower and gets sand all over but it’s worth it! Both boys sleep like logs and are already starting to get a ruddy tan!
Cost us eighty bucks but it’s been worth it just to get them out into the yard. Was delivered in the back of a dump truck. I think it was 8 square yards.
By the time we get the pool up, we’ll really need to get that septic tank filled up! But I won’t let Steve fill it up because the kids are having such a good time in the sand!
Beautiful.
I planted herbs in my earth box today...rosemary, basil and oregano.
Had plenty of fertilizer on hand...
Also picked the first turnip.
Funkled.
We sent antique store browsing today...didn’t buy anything.
You know if I keep moving, my bp won’t shoot up so high...so I kept moving all day.
Steve went to bed. He had a hard time keeping up, it seems.
LOL! I love the commercial that was just on. It’s for Oklahoma Farm Bureau or something like that. It’s got this old fence post with this thick heavy chain attached that is just a blowing in the breeze like a ribbon. Then it says “This is Oklahoma.” I think it’s hysterically funny.
Maybe a trip to the beach would be more fun than playing in something that goes in the septic tank lol.
Well, it’s clean sand...fresh from the sand and aggregate company down by the river by my house.
But my kids would probably go nuts at the beach. They’ve never been. At least my youngest hasn’t ever been. My oldest and I used to go 2-3 times a week when we lived in Texas but that was before he was two years old.
My parents have mentioned something about renting a beach house this coming summer...so this may be the year!
A friend of our family owns one in San Diego, but I’ve only been there once, four years ago. I haven’t even been to the beach at all in 7 years despite living 45 minutes from it.
In 1979 my parents moved us to a house within a short walk of Lake Huron, with a nice swimmer's beach a bit further off...a nice bike ride for a young teenager as I was at the time. My sister and I would be there 3 or 4 days a week during summers.
I live nearer to Lake Michigan now, about 45 minutes to the nearest public beach. Not as nice I think, but I've been in the ocean and don't like salt water.
Ah man... they gotta see the ocean. It’s something you just can’t miss.
I’ve been cutting greens from s few turnips, kale, and collards that survived the winter. The turnip root looks kind of nasty but the greens are great!
Heh...
1st precious?
