GOOD AFTERNOON MAGNOLIASIt is a hot humid day here in the Heartlnd with isolated T-Storms and a possibility of 30% chance of raining. Not much going on this lazy Monday. I need to plan my weekly menu and that is always a fun thing for me. Don't always stick to it but at least I get the ingredients rounded up to make sure I have the things needed on hand. I also need to get a batch of fresh fruit. All that is in the house is a couple of bananas at the moment. Today for dinner I plan on making Tacos Al Pastor w/ Grilled Pineapple Salsa. We will go to the store after the man finishes adding something to the printer next door at the church office. Since I leave my office closet door open at both ends a bit Beanie doesn't lose his ball in there so the game is not fun for him anymore. Well, it wasn't a game for me ~ just a complete nuisance. He came in awhile ago and rolled his ball under the door then went in the closet and got it and turned around and left the room.
I took his fun away. When we leave our offices we have to close the doors or else he is like a cat and hops up on every table and desk surface checking out what he can knock to the floor. JEAN We are warm and humid also and fixing to get up to 102 this day. I got a good chuckle out of that password. Some folks don't have any imaganition about passwords. I know folks who use their own name. I am probably no better off though because I use the same one that I have always used since I first got on the internet. It is unique and far fetched and I don't think anyone would ever figure it out. Isn't it just like that ticket sale to come along and slow you down. Always something isn't there.
DONNA FAYE Your poor little Fortune just when you get him all straightened out w/ his food and he has an issue. Tactle thing isn't he to graze around licking things. Beanie brings in dirt clods when he can find them. Yesterday he brought in a piece of charcoal brickette Will had dropped and didn't pick up. Now we have black spots on the carpet that won't vacuum up so the cleaner has to come out of the closet and get reved up. And the spots are right where someone coming in the front door would see them if they looked down. Four feet inside the door. You can imagine how clean we like to keep this place for it is like living in a fishbowl ~ Will being a preacher ~ we do need the place presentable for "drop-ins."
Everyone have a lovely afternoon.


The humidity shot way up late this afternoon and the 6:00 weatherman is predicting 95 for tomorrow! My air conditioner is ON!
I'm glad I don't have to sit in a hot classroom tomorrow! I am getting a perm in the afternoon which doesn't thrill me, but my gal is going on vacation right after Labor Day so it's now or wait 3 weeks. I have used the same password or a form of it since day one. We were supposed to keep changing the one at school be I never did. Bob has to change his every week and has different passwords for different things that he needs to do. I'd never remember them all, but he uses the same ones in a rotation of some sort. I had to chuckle at Beanie not putting his ball in the closet since you left the door open. I need to fold some towels and then I'm heading to bed. See you all tomorrow!
I have part of the cuff started on the second one and pray I have enough yarn as the yarn has been discontinued so can't get anymore. It looks like I will have enough but have to
My slipper yarn should be here tomorrow so I can start on them. I will probably work on my sweater at the surgical cent next Wed.
day here in the Heartland. The dogs are at the groomer and Will is working on the carpet. He cleared out all their toys they had scattered around, picked up my lamp and other items off the floor that Beanie had knocked off sometime during the night and now will shampoo out the black charcoal out of it. I just got a FOX news flash that Virginia and therabouts just had a rather large earthquake, 5.9 on the scale. Hope our friend Susan is safe. I am not sure that out on that coast if they build like we did in CA with extra loops in the wire to take the sway that earthquakes do and snap close cut wires like in plugins in the wall. Building codes are different on the left and right coasts. I have been in some rockin' and a rollin' earthquakes in my day. My father took movies of a once flat road looking like ocean waves. It rolls like that and then snaps like a whip and where that whip hits is where the most damage is done.
for that pound down. Going in the right direction you are. I know you will be glad when you do get your female problems adjusted to let you have a good month. That must be totally miserable to go through like you have been doing.

I didn't sleep very well last night and the TV came on way too early. First I spent my morning in the church office reading magazines with a few phone calls that I could actually answer their questions all by myself! This afternoon I had a perm and it took her 3 1/2 hours!! I about fell asleep in the chair. By the time I got home Bob suggested getting a sandwich somewhere since "no one" has been to the grocery store lately. Who me? My last stop was WM for a few things. I had a 
I think people will be surprised at what is in the salad, and most won't believe it is popcorn
unless they see you mix it in. 



There was a young man with the multiple piercings and tatoos also looking in the same area so Bob finally asked him. He was kind enough to share his knowledge and help us. We need to shampoo carpet too. Our's gets dirty from where we plant our feet when we are sitting.
I saw the appetizer recipe and thought it looked good too.
I skipped WW today -- no good excuse but just didn't feel like going late to face the scale. I have got to get my act together! I really liked meeting on Thursday better and I hope the leader will go back to that after Labor Day. I will be saying prayers for you that you don't have to evacuate!
