jULY 31, 2012

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Today should be low 90s; and though the forecast is for "partly" cloudy, right now it's completely overcast. There's a chance of afternoon showers or storms - it sure looks like it wants to rain now! LOL!
Yesterday: I intended to get the week off to a good start. I sorta missed on that! LOL! I avoided going out since I was waiting for phone calls that never came. Oh well, it's OK. I did get a bit of cleaning and organizing done. I also spent a lot of my day watching Olympics. Since that only happens every 4th summer, I don't even feel guilty! :)
Today: I will try to get some of yesterday's errands done. I have a load of trash already in the car, and will get the rest this morning. The Dish guy is on the way now, to (hopefully!) fix the disfunctional TV in the den. I need to make appointments for the phone company to fix or replace the non working line; and, much as it irritates me, I'll have to give in and call an exterminator. Not only have I lost the battle with the ants - now we have acquired fleas as well. Eeeewww!!! They were tracked in from outside; but the poor kitties are NOT happy. Besides taking trash, I need a grocery run. Hopefully, by late afternoon I can be watching Olympics again. :)

July 30, 2012

Good morning: It's a beautiful morning. At the moment there's bright sunlight streaming in the window. When I stepped out on the porch earlier it was very comfortable (not humid yet). Today will be low 90s, and partly cloudy with possible afternoon storms.
Yesterday: After a bit of a slow start, the day ended up surprisingly busy. A friend came over (he had previously fixed a small problem with the lawnmower) and cut grass for us; my friend came with him and played in the dirt (weeds). :) Then later our DS, plus entourage, came over. He installed a new-to-me ceiling fan in the living room - it's wonderful!! His girlfriend did laundry, and we visited and watched Olympics. I made a quick run for KFC for all of us. I ended up staying up too late (why do they wait SO late to show the gymnastics??)
Today: I actually have no idea how today will go! The Dish guy is supposed to come today or tomorrow to fix one TV. The PT is coming this afternoon. At some point I need to take a growing pile of trash to the dump. Oh yeah, and I probably ought to do some cleaning! LOL!

July 29, 2012

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's gonna be another hot day, but "only" low to mid 90s. :) While there's always a chance of afternoon storms in this heat, apparently today they'll be less likely. Last night storms moved through .. I think we only got the outer edge (a LOT of lightning but little rain).
Yesterday: I stayed busy most of the day getting things organized for my vendor show, and doing a small bit of general straightening. I did a bit of sewing, and watched Olympic events off and on (love to watch the swimming). My DIL and I did the vendor show last night. It was actually the best one yet, in terms of "foot traffic" and getting my name/business "out there". We did have to close up early though, due to storms.
Today: I hope for a more relaxed day, but have already gotten quite a bit done. I haven't sorted all the chocolate stuff yet, but some at least. I think one DS & his girlfriend, her kids ("bonus" grands!) will be over ... hoping we can sneak out to a flea market later. Think all those guys would notice? LOL!

July 28, 2012

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's a bit overcast, but I see bits of sunshine off and on, so the cloud cover is thin. Today will be hot again, upper 90s, and humid. There is a small chance of later afternoon storms. Yesterday there were some severe storms north of me, and one tiny little "blob" that was mainly a lot of thunder here. We did get a little rain, and actually have a better chance today.
Yesterday: I ended up not going out after all. I decided I could make do with the change I have, and it was just too hot. :) So instead a mopped the kitchen, and worked on sorting and organizing my chocolate supplies. Last night I watched the Olympic Opening Ceremony, and enjoyed it!
Today: This might be a busy day, but it's too soon to tell. I have a vendor show tonight ("Ladies Night Out" in Coats - anyone in my neck of the woods is welcome to come out and shop!). There are a lot of little bits and pieces to be done to get ready, as well as the day to day things. I get to see family tonight, Yay! :)

July 27, 2012

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear, and already quite warm. Today's "official" high is 99, which means here at home it will most likely be triple digits again. We didn't get any storms yesterday, but today is, again, a possibility in the afternoon.
Yesterday: I made a schedule ... and actually accomplished most of it! I got some laundry done, the house general neatened, and so forth. In the afternoon I got some errands done (but forgot one thing I needed to do! Drat! LOL!). I even got home in my projected time frame; fixed dinner, and the "usual" evening routine. :)
Today: Other than one quick trip (I forgot to go by the bank to make sure I have change for the event - optimism at it's best! LOL!), I plan to mainly concentrate on getting things ready for the show tomorrow night. I'm making up a few things to have samples for tasting. Tonight I will be up way too late - because I just love watching the Olympic opening ceremonies! :)

July 26, 2012

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Today, finally, is bright and clear - and will be super hot! We'll be back to triple digits for a couple of days before settling into "normal" summer 90s. There's only a very small chance of storms today.
Yesterday: The morning was fairly busy. After DH's appointment, we went by DSs shop. It was right at lunch time, so after a bit of juggling around, we went to lunch. We also dropped a few things off at his house before coming back home. The afternoon was very quiet! :)
Today: Did I say no more errands? WHAT was I thinking? LOL! I still have to make a quick run to town. I need to pick up some refills (weren't ready until yesterday afternoon - and we know no one is allowed to pick them up Early!!); pick up a painting commissioned for my chocolate business; get change for the weekend's show. And while I'm in town, I might as well get my nails done, right? (well, maybe) LOL!

July 25, 2012

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Today will be a little "cooler" than yesterday - only low 90s! LOL! The forecast is for partly cloudy and small chance of afternoon showers. Yesterday some severe storms passed over - we actually got a lot of rain along with the wind, thunder, and lightning. But evening it was calm again. Right now it's a bit "milky", so really no telling what the day will bring!
Yesterday: I got a few things done around the house, then took trash to the dump. Then I went to town to finish the errands not done on Monday. On the way home the storm started - Wow! A bit scary, but made it home safely. A friend came over to try to fix the lawnmower - bad timing! LOL!
Today: DH has his weekly nurse appointment. Other than that, there actually are NO plans. Wow, how did that happen? LOL! I think perhaps this afternoon will be a good time to start pulling together things I will need for a vendor show this weekend. :)
