Well, this weekend was rather gloomy.  (no sun at all)  We did get lots of needed rain yesterday though!  I was telling David, “well, you’ll need to mow this week because that darned grass is sure to grow a foot now!”  Our grass has been pretty dry, but living in “the Park”, I really don’t worry too much about it.  The less we water, the less we have to cut, which saves gas right?  Ha!  I knew there was a good environmental reason for it!  I was going to work yesterday, but just didn’t really feel like it.  So, late last night we went to see the Simpson’s Movie, wasn’t too bad.  It was cute, not my favorite movie, and not a “must see” by any means for me, but it was fun to get out of the house for a while.

Oh Friday night, David went to see the Tractor Pull at the Fairgrounds (county fair going on this week).  I decided that I would finally light up the Firebowl!  (Did I mention that my family thinks I will surely burn the house down with this thing?)  It is on our deck, but I didn’t get it going all that wildly, so it was fine.  I didn’t light the deck on fire or melt the siding off the house.   I did keep a bucket of water nearby,  just in case things got out of control.  Managed to burn a Wal-Mart bag full of mail!  (hey, I get sick of shredding, there is just too much of it, much easier to just light a match and watch it burn!)  I did burn a couple of pieces of wood with it also.  Jamie sat outside with me for a little over an hour, however, I think he got bit a couple times because he wasn’t sitting close enough to the fire with me.  He actually sat down on the doormat outside our front door and scrubbed his little abdomen to scratch his itchy spots!  Kind of funny.  The doormat says, “Wipe Your Paws”.  So a little ironic that the dog was using it also.  Do they make “Off” for dogs?  We treat him with Frontline Plus once a month, but I haven’t bought K-9 Advantix yet, waiting for the price to go down a little bit on that stuff!  Jamie loves the commerical for K-9 Advantix though!  The second he hears the music he is in front of the TV barking his head off at that little dog!  He loves to watch animals on TV! 

So today, Sunday, I actually did go to work for 7 hours.  Boring, but it will be worth it to make a little extra before we go on vacation in a couple of weeks.  I came home to find that the dishes were done!  What a nice surprise!!  That and dinner was ready shortly after I got home too!  What a nice husband! 

Watching the news now.  Still a lot of information about the 35 W. Bridge Collapse in Minneapolis, very sad, it is bad, but I am so glad more lives were not lost, but I expect that they will recover more people eventually.  Feel bad for the families of those who did lose a loved one,  or still have one or more missing.  Prayers are with you all if you happen to be reading.

Will sign off for now,

Next weekend Labor and Delivery class.  That should be interesting!
