Good morning ladies,
The play was dopey. I won't go rushing back to see another. I suppose it is unfair to compare because the ones I have seen before have been large scale productions in Chicago like Les Miserables. Of course I also didn't have to pay $95 per ticket like I did for that one too
But hey, the point was that we were just trying something different so no loss really.
Today is a bright, sunshiney day - perfect for working outside. DH is backed up on home chores so I think he's going to welsh out on going to work at the Humane Society. I might just go myself.
Mr. Feral came by and quietly sat on the front porch for who knows how long until DH spotted him and fed him. I guess he decided that it was too hard to climb the fence to get into the back yard. He seems to be getting along ok tho we may still try and trap him. Sometimes I wonder if we would be interferring with something we shouldn't. He certainly is a fine example of tenacity.
We have new neighbors adjacent to us. They moved in with one screaming kid and she just had another last year. Now don't get me wrong, I love kids but these 2 are the kind that just howl for the sake of making noise. And they get each other started. Yesterday she must have had the baby on the porch because it just cried and cried and cried for 45 minutes straight. There were no sounds of trying to comfort the baby, just the baby crying. And the way the lots are laid out, the sound carries and it's like they are laying in your yard. I don't mind the sound of kids playing and I just love the sound of little toddlers laughing but screamers can go in the house where they belong
Goodbye peaceful yard with the pretty flowers and birds - a refuge of solitude from the hectic pace of life
. - I kind of liked it when the neighborhood was filled with 70 and 80 years olds like when we moved in
Gosh, don't I sound like Crabby Appleton?
Hope you have a quiet day at work Ceejay. No rumblings either
Mel - you've done some much closet cleaning that I'm amazed that you still have things to toss. If you're up and posting at 5:30 am - hope everything is ok with you.
Shad - maybe Mel just got in the mood to be like you - up before the sun. I kind of thought that 5 shots would have thrown your system into turmoil. Just need a day of rest to let things calm down a bit. I know, I know - no time to sit - right?
I guess the earthquake up north has gotten everyone stirred up down here again. I guess because of the geology, if we had one like that down here it would be quite devistating. And it's a matter of WHEN not IF. Takes alot of money to shore things up so with other financial crisises it earthquake planning takes a back seat. They were trying to get people involved in their neighborhoods to pull together some disaster preparedness and planning. I tried to when I was involved in the homeowners association but no one seems interested so I told DH, we will just make sure that WE are prepared. I'm just glad I'm no longer in the top of a 10 story office building anymore. And I could walk the 10 miles back home from work if I absolutely had to because I'm sure the streets would probably take one of the hardest hits as far as damage goes. Call me crazy, but I do put some thought into these things - I attended a few seminars and they really stress that panic sets in when you have no clue what to do.
And today marks my 4 year anniversary for quitting smoking. I am very proud that I kept my quit in spite of everything that has gone on and the many temptations I have had to take it up again. It wasn't until this past year that I honestly felt I could do this. Up to that point it was - well I'm tempted but I just won't smoke today. Guess I can go throw out that 4 year old unopened pack of cigarettes in the car now
And I'd better get on with chores here. Have a good Sunday ladies.
HOPE THE SHOTS DON'T BOTHER YOU TOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!
AND I THOUGHT HURRICANES WERE BAD!! WHAT A WAY TO GET WOKEN UP!! 
STAY SAFE MY FRIEND!!! NICE BOWLING AND HOPE THE SHOULDER FEELS BETTER!!!
MY COMPANY HAS HEADED HOME. IT WAS A GREAT VISIT. BUT I LIKE THE SILENCE AND MY JAW HURTS FROM TALKING AND LAUGHING. BOTH GOOD THINGS BUT VERY EXHAUSTING. GOOD THING THEY LIKED TO WANDER AND SIGHTSEE. LEFT ME LOTS OF TIME FOR THE "boys" AND THE SENIORS BENEFITTED.
I would have been freaking out myself as they talk about the damage we'd have if the New Madrid fault went off. Apparently you got one off a different branch of the fault. My sister has a cockatiel and the bird was just going wild beating itself in the cage too. She got up to calm it down when she felt the rumbling too. 
POOR OLD GUY. 
THE PHONE WAS DYING AT JUST ABOUT THE RIGHT TIME. BALA WAS ALMOST READY TO GO WHEN I WENT DOWN. HE IS BACK AGAIN TODAY 
JEN HAS GIVEN ME PERMISSION TO DO THE ONES IN THE BEDROOM CLOSET. BUT THAT IS ANOTHER BOX AND ANOTHER WEEKEND. THINK I WILL JUST MEL-LOW OUT TODAY 
BETTER GET MOVING...THE ACCT IS DUE IN AN HOUR.
