~ Crazy Day and some Fall Snags ~

Day was a little off the wall.  Started out slow and chilly.  I was lazy and really didn't feel like getting my arse moving.  I sipped coffee, read the news on the net, and played with a few graphics after going through mail.  Like my Saturday morning should be, not like last weekend!  Before I knew it was after noon and I hadn't even gotten dressed.  Now that IS lazy!!  LOL

 

So I decided I better get moving before the whole day was gone.  I started going through the mountain of laundry that had accumulated while I was without power.  Holy shit!  I didn't realize I had so many clothes.  Why when I look on normal days can I find nothing to wear?????  After I got the first load going I ran to the store to pick up a few things.  When I stepped outside it looked slightly foggy, then my nose tingled and I realized it was smoke.  The neighborhood was full of a light smoke and the air was filled with the scent of burning wood and leaves.  It actually smelled good.  Like I was back camping on a chilly day.  I tugged my fleece around me a little tighter as I got a full blown shiver.  The events of last weekend flooded back, and the sadness of all the lost trees was realized once again as neighbors burned some of their debris.  How unfair to have the sweet memory of a fire be turned into a memory of such devastation!

 

When I got to the store it was the oddest thing.  A week later and the shelves were still showing signs of the mad dash of stocking up.  I didn't go to a super store or anything, but I'd have thought canned goods, soup mixes, and toilet paper would have been restocked.  It was not my lucky day!  Thank goodness my sister boys are back home and I have a couple rows of TP to get us through.  Please, no smart ass comments about all the leaves outside!  I grabbed a few things and went on my way. 

 

I'm still a bit behind on journals, but I am trying to get things caught up.  If I've not commented it doesn't necessarily mean I wasn't there, but I had missed so much while without power it was impossible to comment on each entry on each journal.  I'd never get through them all!!

 

Sharing a few Fall graphics before Fall is gone.  Some were done before the storm, some this week.  The boy fishing is actually a picture Betty had taken and posted in her journal a bit ago.  She gave me permission to snag.  Stop by and check out her work, it is awesome!!

 

I'm a bit tired now and thinking I'll call it a night.  Just want to shout out to the boys on another great game.  Can we all just say in unison... 8-0 Baby!!!  Thank you! :)

 

G'night folks!  Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.

hugs
