Sorry I haven’t been around much lately. Since summer’s gotten into full swing and the weather’s finally turned….well, summer-like….I haven’t felt like there’s been much to write about. My days are mostly filled with being at the beck and call of La Looch and her friends, hauling them here, picking them up from there, sitting by the pool while they swim to make sure they don’t drown each other, making lunches for crowds of picky eaters, providing an endless supply of sugar-laden treats and supervising near nightly sleepovers. There’s not a whole lot of adult conversation, stimulation or even contact going on at the moment. Even Tim, my trusty sidekick and partner in life, has jumped ship, working long hours and getting home just before dark. I’m going to get to play with the grown-ups soon, though. I’m having a garage sale this Friday and Saturday with my mom and a friend. Soooo…..woot!…..two whole days when I know I’ll have someone over the age of 13 to talk to.
I am addicted to the bargain movie bin at Wal-Mart. You know the one where you get two DVD’s for $11. I can be found pawing through it every time I go. Sometimes there really isn’t anything there, but sometimes there are some real gems to be found. We currently have a good sized stack of my finds that we’ve yet to watch since our tv time drops way off in the summer. Last night Megan actually chose to stay home with me (gosh) and watch Sandra Bullock in 28 Days. Neither of us had seen it before. It was a little bit darker of a story than you usually see from Ms. Bullock (she played an addict in rehab), but it was pretty good. We were both glued to our seats waiting to see how it turned out. Our one complaint? Even though we know a romantic pairing of two recovering addicts wouldn’t, in real life, probably be the best of ideas…..as far as the movie goes, we’d have liked to see her character get together with Viggo Mortensen’s character. I mean, come on…..it’s Viggo!
Well, I’m off to the gym and then it’s another fun filled day of pricing trash…I mean treasures…for the garage sale.

I so envy your days off and spending time with your daughter.
I have so much stuff I could put in a garage sale right now but I live out in the middle of no where and it would be a waste of time cause I’d have like only 3 people stop. Good luck with yours!!!

A million, Chana? I could live with that. LOL
Chesneygirl, you made my day. You’re envious of my ‘glamourous’ summer lifestyle. If only you could see me in action. You might reconsider. The puppy strapped to my ankle with a training lead is a real high fashion accessory…everybody who’s anybody has one.
