Happy "surfing"

I have happily spent the better part of the day learning how to subscribe to feeds, then subscribing to said feels, then reading said feeds! This is far too addictive! I really haven't done anything useful today at all!
One thing I did do, is refrain from buying the LeLuxe batwing jacket I've been mooning over for the last 6 months! It costs too much and I don't need it--that's my story and I'm stickin' to it...
Well, here comes the lightning, thunder and rain for the afternoon, so I'm off.

Playtime!

Well, I've found a new play toy! I've managed to figure out how to change my fonts--cool.
This is the first and only thing I've ever done in Html!!! Now I can annoy just about any/every one...including me.
Tonight is the BOT meeting, which should last forever, as usual, but perhaps B. will be back from vacation, that would be nice.
We went grocery shopping today, and spent too much--we even ate first! but, oh well, thus is life. Ate at Beef O'Brady's, do love that place, good food, not too expensive, and best of all, they treat us like "regulars!" Like Cheers...
Getting closer with several projects--Christmas presents and bathroom painting--I may take forever to do something, but sometimes it gets done!

Fall is coming

Certainly can't say that it's getting any cooler, however, I could feel a touch of fall in the air this morning. Did some shopping while A. waited for the pump man to come (he finally got here yesterday long enough to say he'll be back tomorrow--which is today!). Thank heavens it wasn't as horrible as we had feared, expensive yes, but not impossible. Returned some and bought more beads @ Michael's, picked up a Rx, looked for a stove top coffee percolator--etc. etc.
Still waiting patiently for that Lotto win!
Saw a news bit on aol that a family won $314+ million--that is soooo grand. I'm so happy for them, what wonderful luck.
Hey, God, we're next...

Chancel drama

Life goes on...
I'm looking forward to being involved with a "mini" Chancel drama at LOG this coming Sunday--we are acting out (scripts in hand! thank goodness!) the Tower of Babel story. The writer (Big T) has a sharp sense of humor so the "message" should be fun and short! Plus he's bringing me coffee from Dunkin' Donuts when we rehearse tomorrow--so what could be better?
Have to miss the Women's retreat on the beach this evening--the pump has chosen to go on the fritz and we can't (as yet) get hold of the pump guy so here we wait!
Convention is coming soon, mid of October, ordered the lunches and put names in for the seminars. It will be fun seeing everyone again and hearing from the new Bishop. Hope he and his family are doing well, his mother just died, and I know how rough that can be.

Lazy day @ home

Tomorrow's LOG and groceries, exciting day...
I ordered some more Christmas stuff yesterday, September comes, can Christmas be far behind? The crocheting is going OK, had to tear out about a foot tho'! seems I had picked it up when I was only half across a row and went back and forth and back, etc. for quite a while--I thought I was getting really good at it because it was going so FAST!
Been gathering info for B. for the convention--food, seminars, badge names, etc. will go online and register tomorrow. I enjoy going to convention--matter of fact, I think only A. & I enjoy it--everyone else seems to think it's a chore, wonder if the Bishop thinks so?

Sittin' for Bella

I love Bella--she's my "step-dog" and I'm sitting for her for a few days. She has great parents who make sure that she's not lonely if they're away--she also has a BIG voice, likes early morning hours, has aches and pains, and an appetite for "cookies" as do I. We are happily watching cable TV together, while I crochet and think about all the things I should be doing but don't feel like doing!
Bought The Message Remix on CDs yesterday--great 50% off sale and I'm looking forward to listening to it (them?). We also ate lunch at Miller's Ale House @ GCTC and really enjoyed that--good food, decent service but crowded, of course (business lunch crowd).
Someone in the area won the $52 million Lotto Saturday, wasn't us :-( gosh-dern-it-all. My "retirement plan" is definitely not working out!! However, the rest of the plan is OK--I've got the "idle" part down pat!

Rain, not enough

We had a little rain today. Not enough really. Either we're going to dry up and blow away or the "big" one (storm) is yet to come. After all these years in FL I've gotten used to rain every PM you could set your clock by, but things have changed (can you say global warming???). Now it's just hot-hot-hot and humid-humid-etc.
Spoke with W. today about going a different direction with the D. deal, perhaps with LOG? We'll see. Of course I'm still interested, I don't ever want to stop learning.
Started a crochet project today, during the rain. I reallyreally dislike chain stitches so that's usually the hardest part of anything I make. That and the fact that the recipient of the hand-made gift must like me in order to appreciate the gift--as in the case of my cooking--it never looks all that good, but the heart's there!
