When It Hurts To Type, You KNOW You've Overdone the Yardwork

But you know what? I feel so self-satisfied right now I should have yellow feathers sticking out of my grin. But I think I need to watch that analogy. Sylvester the Cat always gets gotten by Tweety Bird in the end.

Wanna see what I did, though? May 08 At Home

The story is (and I am sticking to it) that I woke up this morning at 8 and was all chipper and called a friend and said "Let's go to Lowe's and get some bedding plants!" She was like... yeah! Let's go spend Laura's money! LOL Well, we found some terrific things, and I am SO happy... except that I decided to till the entire four foot width from the house to the street myself with a claw hand-tiller before I started planting, then I raked in manure... and will add in the mulch this weekend, when I plant the black-eyed susans and the white marigolds. I was feeling all chipper and great and can-do! I planted heather and geraniums and ivy and hosta and all sorts of stuff... then I planted my tomatoes and realized I needed to come in and take a bath before the contractors came with the CH&A stuff because I was covered in mud and manure.

WELL, I got in the tub and came to the realization that I had REALLY OVERDONE IT. Like ... I don't know if I will be able to move tomorrow morning. Every time I sit down I think it will be my last, and every time I stand up my feet feel like painful bubbles. No blisters anywhere - even on my pampered hands which are protesting the typing I am doing right now - but OMG... I HURT.

So much for being all chipper. I'd like to say I've learned my lesson, but sadly, this is all part of a pattern of stubbornness and bullheadedness I inherited from my grandmother, and from her ancestors long before her. LOL. I'm doomed. Crash simply laughs and shakes his head; he's been down this road with me before and HE learns from his mistakes. Me? I'm a hopeless, lost cause.

And I am laughing now only becuase I have a muscle relaxant and Tylenol on board. OMG. Tomorrow morning. I dread tomorrow morning.

Wish me something kind? Or at least wish me some smarts for next time??

Thx.

New Photo Album

I put up another photo album tonight, called Pics From My Past... it's a mish-mash of years and people, but it is something I have been playing with, and thought I would share. --L

Well, So It's Seventeen Years Late...

LOL.. and the scans aren't terrific... I think I need to increase the dpi's and clean the platen.... but anyway, here are pics from our wedding in 1991.

I never have made copies of these for anyone, so you guys are the lucky winners of the first trial scans. We didn't have a pro photographer, but instead asked everyone to take pics and give us copies - we had a blast with that concept, and these are some of the goodies that came out of it.
