The best thing about a Monday holiday is that on Thursday you think it is Wednesday and Friday is here before you know it. I got home on Monday from a six day long trip to Chicago for work then to Charleston for pleasure. It was pouring down rain and I was so happy because I had the perfect excuse for laying on my couch all Monday afternoon with the fluffy puff and catching up on all my season finales. Seriously, Grey’s Anatomy hit me kinda hard. NCIS left me hanging (I don’t really like being left hanging all summer – wrap it up – I won’t care that much in September).
On a sad note, someone stole part of my herb garden. I had three pots – one with mint (it was a BIG pot), one with Lavender (it was a MEDIUM size pot), and one with oregano (it is a LITTLE pot). I had these three pots on the side of my yard so they could get enough sun. Well, while I was gone, some one stole the two big pots. Which is weird if only because the BIG pot – I can barely pick up and carry ten feet. And I’m strong. And the other pot is heavy too. Plus the little pot was the actual thrown pottery pot of value, and the only one portable enough to carry off in your arms. And if they pulled a truck up and threw the big pots in the vehicle, why not take the little one? I don’t get it. But now I’m fresh out of mint and lavender and my life is less complete. Sigh.
But on a happier note, I had an awesome new friend that I met during a period of logistical difficulty this past weekend send me a super awesome package that I got yesterday. It was amazing, and hopefully I will tell you more about the contents of the package in the future, if I can stop neglecting this blog.
I also got some fun mail on Tuesday, but I’ll wait to tell you about that later. Suffice it to say, as cool as email and bbm and gchat can be, there is nothing better than pulling up to your house after work and seeing something interesting sticking out of your mailbox.
Yesterday and today have been the first truly hot and humid days we’ve had this summer. When I got in my car after work this afternoon, my sunglassess fogged up completely. I had to roll down the windows to unfog them.
This time every year I have to relearn my jogging routes that involve shade. My winter routes involve sunshine, so it’s always an adjustment.
I had dinner tonight with Robin Anne – tomorrow is her birthday! HOORAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBIN ANNE! We had so much fun, it was a perfect evening.
YAWN! So happy tomorrow is Friday. Sweet dream friends.
