Irony?

I love irony.

Do I love how my planter finally blooms in October?

Now that all our sparkly Summer water is covered?

Not really.

But do I love how there is wonderful life everywhere?

Yes.

Yes I do.

Have a safe and wonderful weekend.

And show your blooms every chance you get.

This-n-That Thursday

WHY...

• ...does cinnamon gum make my tongue all furry and itchy?
• ...does Dora only like to bark before 7 am?
• ...does it all come down to your colon?
• ...did I buy Halloween candy 3 whole days before the actual day?
• ...do I like beans so much?
• ...are gray hairs so...independent?
• ...did June Cleaver always wear those pearls while vacuuming?
• ...do I have wrinkles in my earlobes?
• ...isn't there an exercise pill yet?
• ...does Squazz think I don't know how to operate the vacuum?
• ...does cheese have to be so bad for me?
• ...is Fall color so fleeting and Winter gray so long?
• ...do I keep dreaming I'm in college?
• ...do I keep on blogging?

You? Tell me why...

Any Questions?

Tuesday Text

Last weekend, Augie went back to school after his Fall Break.

It was a whole week off. From college. In October.

I don't remember having that kind of break back in the day.

Kids today. Sheesh.

This was my farewell "conversation" with a certain son...

The dog still needs a bath as I write this.

And the remote is in Philadelphia.

Gah

I Guess it Could be Worse

This is the best horoscope I could find for myself today. When do the bills stop? Wait. Don't answer that.

Today's Aquarius Horoscope:
Oct 26, 2009

Gloom may settle upon you today when you're faced with your financial situation, dear Aquarius. You may have had a lot of bills to pay, and thus your coffers may be a bit low for your preferences. Still, this is only temporary, and it probably feels good to have the bills out of the way. Find something inexpensive, like reading, to keep you busy and get your mind of it. You're probably doing fine!

I am reading Jon Krakauer's new book about the death of Pat Tillman in Afghanistan. It's called Where Men Win Glory and it is amazing. Is your horoscope any better than this? And when Squazz asks me what I did with myself all day? I'm going to tell him I had to read all day and do nothing else. Because the voices in my computer told me to. Have a nice day;)

Flashback

My packrat brother is cleaning out his garage this morning.

That is big news, mostly, for his poor wife.

This, however, was my alarm clock/stereo for pretty much the 60's and the 70's.

I have no idea how it got from Tennessee to a garage in Connecticut.

But you have to admit...the sound is pretty good.

Farewell, my dear radio. Again.

Parents' Weekend Photos

I had a wonderful trip to see The Baby Bird last weekend.

The University of Virginia is a beautiful school.

And I don't think she was embarrassed by her heinous mother even once.

I would love nothing more than to share all the pictures I took.

So, I think I will:

And here is another angle:

The end.

Those are the only pictures I took the whole weekend.

With my iPhone.

I wasn't allowed to take my camera out of the case.

The Bird escaped the abject horror of a parent snapping pictures...

And Mama?

Well, isn't this bike cool?

Such creativity.

Hey, I'll take what I can get.

And be fully content.

I wish you all a weekend full of contentment.
