Good morning gals! Hope this morning finds you all chipper! It is scorching and sticky already this morning. Our car temp registered 99 yesterday coming home from Lowes and is usually no more than a couple points off so it was hot and it is supposed to be hotter today.
We have T's birthday party this afternoon and it is a pool party. Of course, he has 20 little kids coming and their parents so the pool might be a tad crowded. He invited his whole soccer team and most of his class at school I think. I talked to her last night and ask her if she needed help with anything, but she said she has it all covered so guess I will go and have a good time. I may be dispensing drinks and cake etc though so who knows?
Jean: I take my contacts out and leave them out just overnight and then put them back in. Dr says it is just to relax the eye. I am tempted to go back to glasses because I have to have readers all the time, but I do like being able to see stuff, ie when I am in the pool or at night after I have gone to bed. I am blind as a bat and have worn glasses since I was 10.
I saw that Jack had been downstairs last evening and put the wood filler in the screw holes for the dishwasher so maybe we can get that fixed now. Wish I had about $50,000 to renovate this whole place, put in new bathrooms, do all the floors and put in new counters and cabinets in the kitchen. Alas, I have none so have to put up with what I have. I am hoping next year is the year I get to do the floors once and for all.
I am down to my last three books from my book club. I have several that will come in a few weeks as they have not been released from the publisher yet and I have 2 in the mail to me. I have read I think 7 so far. I could read night and day if you gave me enough books. Books are like handbags and shoes to me, I can't get enough. I don't re-read books but I do love to read. When I get my book case full, I box them up and take them to the library and they get a whole bunch of fairly new books free. I have one I have been saving to take to the water park at the end of the month. It is called Beach Road and everyone says it is really good. I have been itching to read it and if I run out of books before the end of the month, I know I will be tempted!
I just read the latest installment of the Stone Barrington series by Stuart Woods. He writes a heck of a book, but the man himself is SUCH a jackass. He has pages of stuff at the back of his book about writing or emailing him, but don't do this and don't do that, etc. I am sure all writers get fed up with people who want to know how to get their book published and such, but it goes with the territory and he even gets nasty if you ask him where he got the idea for a book. He says something like it being self explanatory at his website or some such drivel.
Well, I need to get my morning chores done. I think I will only do a short workout at the pool this morning. It is harder to do with Jack being home because it is just about the time he gets up for breakfast and he either has to make it himself or wait an hour and I hate for him to have to do that.
