what's everyone up to today?

I have been looking at the Pilates for Dummies DVD.............just watching it mind, not actually doing anything.
Maybe tomorrow, if I can get up the courage.

The Sirocco is blowing here today, its as hot as hell and the sky is yellowy orange-scary.
 
well we have been promised a hot sunny day even though it is gray and was piss pouring rain from about 3 am on. i am going to trust the weatherman and head for the ocean. eternal optimist you say? well i would rather be an optimist and a fool than a pessimist and right. i'm channelling albert today.
i will be driving a familiar red road lined with wildflowers. the drive is as good as the destination.
i am pooped however and matt is away this weekend so i am going to get the kids to bed early (there's that optimism again) and watch donnie darko. i have been trying to rent it forever but it is one of the video kids rental picks so it is always always out. i think his friends rent it obsessively. if it is not in then, **** it, chick flick. i may even get season 5 of sitc, and come back channelling carrie bradshaw.
 
I must be tired, or bored. I'm still thinking about frogs. Three times last night I went out to check on the frog. I had imagined that it was dropped on my balcony after fighting for it's life; that perhaps some big bird had grabbed it up intending to feed it to it's young and as it flew over the frog won it's freedom. After such a battler, I imagined, that it must be tired and hungry and wondered what I might have to feed and shelter a frog fresh from battle. Alas, I could find nothing that seemed suitable for frogs. Before going to bed I checked on the frog one last time and was disappointed to find that the frog was gone. Perhaps he's returned home to a heros welcome.

Today I'm letting my imagination run free.

You know, frog tastes just like chicken!
 
Well after one resident kicked the crap out of another and then another resident found out that her boyfriend was two-timing her and decided to go out and stab him. Both incidents bringing the police to our door. I need a good lie down.

And in the words of Dante...

"I'm not even supposed to be here today."

i know. the picture does not do it justice. it is in a huge field, all alone. you come around a corner at the top of a hill and bam, there it is, the oddest structure. last week there were about a hundred cows around it and i didn't have my camera but it would have been a brilliant picture. it has survived a hurricane!!! and 2 of the biggest snow storms in the past 50 years. i love it.
 
I am unloading my car and resting up from a very long weekend. It was great though, I went shopping with my mom and got some cute clothes, went to see a friend play at a small club and even sang a bit, help my husband's grandma move and got some really nice old tables, a few nic-nacs and paintings.

This is awesome, Jenn. One of those "landmarks" that don't really mean anything, but are iconic in our memories...

Much like the old barn we would pass on the way to my grandparent's house in Ohio. It actually had a "Mail Pouch" tobacco sign painted on it! (how cliche is that?) I remember the steel gray wood and wondering if it were actually still used for anything. It was an eyesore, but I was sad when they tore it down. Progress, I suppose.

Amazing, isn't it, how much emotion we tie to little stuff like that?

Thanks for sharing the pic!
 
i'm glad you guys like it. i so wish you could see it live, it is much more bizarre in person. aren't we all though.


did anyone else see that green guy fly through here? hmmm.......
