So Many Things I Want To Do But...

I can't do them all at once. So, don't do any of them? I went in the back yard. I need to pull the long grass out of my flowers and cut away dead flowers. I started to do it but sweat got the better of me so I'll go out later this evening and do it! I could knit right now but I think I'll do it later this evening. I would like to read some of my book. Oh, I think I'll wait until later this evening. I want to send out a few postcards. Maybe I'll wait until later this evening. I have to make some hummingbird feed but, since it's so hot out, I think I'll wait until later this evening. My desk needs cleaning. That's a good job to do later this evening. I could watch the shows that I recorded. Later this evening would be a good time to watch them. And there are things that I SHOULD do! But now isn't the time to figure out what needs to be done. I can figure it out later. So I guess I won't do anything. Hey, I'm retired, aren't I?

Check out my Shelfari

You can see the book that I read on this blog by looking at my Shelfari. If I didn't put the books on the shelves, I'd forget what I read. I wish I would have done it years ago. Especially because I read a book years ago and I used to tell people to read it. When I was in the hospital back in 95, I started to tell a nurse about the book and I completely forgot the name of the book! I've searched for it on the internet but,to this day, I cannot remember the name of the book!

I just read two books by Gillian White. They were fantastic. One was called Dogboy. It's about a disturbed young man and a pit bull! I liked it so much that I tried to find more of her books. There was only one at the library. It's called Mothertime. Children lock their mean, drinking mother in a sauna in their basement for four months to try to make her a good mother. It's really a surprising book. She has around 11 more good books. I ordered one from Ebay and I may be getting more from another vendor on Ebay. I'm waiting for an answer about cheap shipping if I order several.

When it's so hot out, you have to do something inside. Oh yeah! I have facebook to keep me busy! Knitting too. But I save that for watching TV in the evenings. I can't wait for the shows to start again. Dexter and Sober House are two that I'm waiting for.

It Is Soooo Hot Here!

The temperatures have been in the 100s for a couple of weeks now. We should be getting a cooling trend Monday and Tuesday...98°! That's what they said this weekend was going to be but now they moved it forward. Oh, those weathermen. I'm sure they went to the same school as the politicans. And this week another parent 'forgot' that their 2 year old was in the car and left her there for 3 hours!!! The temperature in the car was over 115! No punishment for the parent. Hmmm, they called it an accident. Accidents shouldn't happen like that!!!!
We're in the house when it's hot except when Dallas goes in her pool. Then I sit out there with her with a misting hose on me. But, I'll take heat over cold any day!!

Today is

National Mustard Day. What can I put mustard on? I don't eat meat anymore. Oh, I can eat some potatoe salad, deviled eggs or something else that is good but not meat.

If you grind your teeth...better stop!

I went to the dentist the other day and spent 5 hours there. I thought that I was getting my teeth cleaned and checked but they did everything: cleaning, xrays and prepared two of my teeth for crowns! I like that when I don't have to go back once a week. However, I'm grinding my teeth down! I'm not actually grinding. I find myself rocking on my teeth from one side to the other! So I went to the drugstore and got a nightguard. I'll be wearing it during the day too...no, not in public!
