Catchin' Up

Since I haven't written anything in a while, let's play catch up!

I've got a new best friend! His (or her....I haven't decided!) name is Kindle. Click here to read all about him/her. Ain't he/she simply AMAZING! I've taken him/her everywhere with me. Right now, I'm reading Lonesome Dove and To Kill A Mockingbird. Both of these are much better than the movies.

Next up is a diary that was written by a pioneer while on the Oregon Trail and after that I've found another diary written by someone that was part of the Donner Party.

I went to the doctor today. It was a good news/bad news sort of thing. I had all of my lab work done last week because the doctor likes to have all of the results to go over with you in person rather than via letter or a phone call.

As soon as he walked in, the first thing he said, (after "How are you?") was "What have you been doing?" My cholesterol last year was 214.....now it's 135. Also, somehow between last week and this week I've lost eight pounds. Just for the heck of it, about two months ago, I declared Friday night Strawberry Margarita night. Maybe strawberries and tequila are great for cholesterol...but I got no explanation for the eight pounds....but I'll take it. That was the good news. As for the bad news, my glucose level was up, so now I have to watch out since diabetes runs in the family.

Most everyone knows by now that I got rid of my Nissan truck and got a Jeep Patriot as part of the gubmint "Cash for Clunkers" program. Thanks Unka Obama! My Jeep ain't got no bling, but I like it. By the way, my Jeep ain't NOTHING like Devil Spawn's.....mines better. I drove it to South Carolina over the weekend and it got 28 miles to the gallon.

What else is going on....oh yeah. I missed the first few minutes of Hell's Kitchen so I have no idea what happened there. But as I was flipping the TV around, I found a new TV show. It's called Ruby and the Rockits. I started to just flip it, but something made me stay on it for just a second.

You will NEVER guess who's back on TV! David Cassidy!!!!!! Now for the bad news....he got old! Here's the good news! His brother is on the same TV show and he is smokin' HAWT....gray hair and all! Something tells me I may be missing the last half hour of Hell's Kitchen this season.

Here's a word of warning. If I hear one more person say "I'm putting myself out there" I'm going to puke. It just seems like you can't watch anything on TV without someone saying that at least once in any given TV show.

There was some exciting news (NOT!) in my neighborhood this afternoon. My property abuts the Colonial Pipeline right of way. Twice a year, Colonial comes out and clears out the right of way with a bush hog.

This afternoon, they paid a little visit. I mentioned it in passing to my husband, who reminded me to be on the lookout for snakes....copperheads, in particular, since their habitat had been disturbed. I hate snakes.

So that's pretty much all that's going on right now.

What? Oh Ok.....

Well, I gotta go. Kindle's calling me. He/she said that Atticus is just about to prove Bob Ewell is lyin' and I've got to finish the courthouse chapter tonight before going to bed.
