Backyard Adventures

I actually sat down and read an entire book today. I finally bought the Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs and it was so good I couldn't put it down. Even if there was no talk about yarn or knitting this book would still be good. Like a muggle would enjoy this book. The ending really surprised me and so did some of the plot twists. That rarely happens to me because usually I figure out where the plot is going within the first chapter or so. anyways, I will read this book again.

I discovered the world's smallest Dooney and Burke purse today. seriously you can fit a tube of chapstick and a couple of credit cards and that's it. IT WAS SOOOO CUTE....I really wanted it especially because it has a rainbow colored metal zipper on it but it was freaking $65 bucks. No way. $65 should at least get you a bowling bag/mom purse sized bag.

It's getting hot again. I actually put shorts on to do laundry. this is bad because I never wear shorts which is obviously when you see my bright white legs. We actually had several ceiling fans going because my sister and I are holding out on turning on the air conditioner as long as possible.

I did make progress on the afghan today, but i don't know yet how much I actually got done because I was reading the book and committing acts of domestication. the heat factor is an issue, i have to sit in my big purple recliner so that i can prop my poor elbow up and be under a ceiling fan cause air circulation is could.

I have only drank one mountain dew this weekend. yay for me! i'm trying to drain myself to drink water with those little flavored packets--i like crystal lite and the cherry limeade stuff from wal-mart the best so far. My favorite bottled water is Evian but if i add in flavor then i'm fine with just the tap water. we will see how this goes. i'm not quitting pop or booze, i'm just trying to drink better stuff.

My 50 + year old neighbor was sitting in a kiddie pool in a speedo today. I hope he put on some suncreen. this was my view when i went outside to my garage to switch the laundry. I also saw two Morman boys on bicycles today. I am an indoorsy gal so I don't go outside much but when I do, I sure get an eyeful of interesting sites.
