How is it already Thursday? I literally can’t imagine where this week has gone. Actually, when it comes down to it, I don’t know where this entire year has gotten off to. It’s the middle of APRIL!
The masters was tons of fun, I need to take a picture of my chalkboard fridge so you can see all the people who wrote messages and drew pictures. It’s awesome. Saturday night we grilled out, it was an overall team effort, and in my opinion, a great success. The weather was absolutely perfect, minus the violent storm Friday night. The flowers and the trees and the grass were all amazing. I’ve been thinking about what my favorite flowers are, and I’ve decided that I can’t decide. I LOVE wild azaleas – cause they look like monster honey suckles. I think I need to plant a few in my new yard!
The weirdest thing I saw last week was a turtle get popped with a golf ball. It was Wednesday, and the golfers were skipping the balls across the pond on 16(which is one of my favorite things about the whole week). One of the skipped balls hit a turtle who was sunning himself on the edge of the pond directly below the green. It made this weird thunk noise, and the turtle plopped into the pond. A few thoughts. Could the turtle have survived such a direct hit? If he did die, would he have floated to the top? (that didn’t happen while I was watching). If you were a turtle who grew up on the grounds of the augusta national (and trust me when I say there are a TON of turtles), would getting hit by a golf ball during the practice round of the masters be a good way to go? Is that every turtle’s dream?
Anyway, this week it’s back to reality. Monday was dark and rainy and I was running late all day long, and I had to go to Aiken, and the lights went out while I was in the Aiken Courthouse, and when I got outside I learned that all the lights were out everywhere, including red lights, which made getting home a lot more interesting. I don’t know my way around Aiken yet, so I spend all my time lost and confused, and the non functioning red lights did not help. But I’m learning! I like to think I get better every time.
The house is back to being a disaster area, Donald is painting the kitchen, and Briscoe has some oil based paint on her nose that could be there for a while. Britt’s bachelorette is this weekend in St Simons, which should be lots of fun. I haven’t been to the beach in a long time!
But right now I mostly need to wake up. I don’t know why I am so sleepy, but this isn’t going to work. At least it is a beautiful day, I wish I was outside!
the thin line between optimism and delusion...
