I could not have complained about the weather today at all. It was the first day since last year, that the temps actually climbed up above the 80’s mark and I was so happy to go barefoot in the grass and just take a long walk without piling on a ton of clothes. In fact I wore shorts even! Now, if it only would stay this way.
Finally Sunshine!
It looks like it’s going to be a nice day today, finally. The sun is shining and birds are chirping. I might be able to get out and do some yard work I’ve been itching to do, get some fresh air, and some sun. I hope it lasts.
Last years Zinnias.
A very nice date
I went on my date with Michael and I was quite unprepared for him to know exactly where I wanted to go, as he lives out of State and I didn’t know he was familiar with the city I live near. Heck, I’m not even really that familiar with it, to be honest. When we got to the restaurant I had wanted to go to because of the food they served, I discovered we needed reservations, or would have to wait. He gave the lady his name and we got a table right away.
I was curious as to how he knew directions, hours, the fact we needed reservations, and darn near everything about this city, if he hadn’t been familiar with it. At first he joked a bit and said things like, “psychic”, “magic” and what not. But then he admitted that he had got on the computer and looked it up in what he liked to call a city’s local yellow pages. I had never even knew a service like this existed.
Our date went really well. The food at the restaurant was delicious and our conversation was just the same as it had been when we last had gotten together. We’ll see what happens. When I got home, I did however, get on my computer and look at the link he had given me, so find out what it was all about what he had been talking of, and was impressed with it. If I need any information for local businesses or darn near anything one could find in the yellow pages, I can just go online. I hate looking up things in the phone books. My eyes aren’t as they used to be, and it is a pain in the butt. All I have to do is type in what I want and it comes up. This I love a lot! We’ll have to wait and see about Michael. To be continued… 😉
The dropping barometer…
I have found that during certain times, when the barometer drops, it messes with my whole body. Today I have a mega headache, and my ears are stuffy. Not to mention feeling a bit sick to my stomach. This has been going on for a long time. I wonder what the weather is to bring next? Considering the weather we’ve been having, as well as other states, it concerns me a great deal.
Disaster
With all the recent tornadoes all over the South, I want to do something, especially for the people of Alabama. I feel all of these families who have lost their loved ones, homes and belongings. I have been trying to contact our local Red Cross here, with no luck what so ever. I had even thought about going down there to try and help any way that I could, and if it hadn’t been for my various jobs I have, I would. I’ve been getting clothes together here, and collecting some clothes from other, hence trying to get a hold of the Red Cross, as sad to say, I don’t trust the Good Will here. I’ll figure out something though. It’s so darn sad and devastating.
Surprise, surprise…
I didn’t read the whole article, but gee…what a surprise, (sarcasm added) Lindsay Lohan is already out of jail after being sentenced to a mere 120 days, last week. This is justice? Pfffttt!!!
I dislike Mondays!
I don’t know what it is about me and Mondays, but I really dislike them. I seem just to putz around and do basically nothing all day, since I think I’m kind of using this day to get my gear together for the rest of the week. I swear, the only thing I do is catch up on the news, read my email, pay bills and walk around putting things in somewhat of an order around here. Mondays seem like the day to do it, especially with it all rainy, dismal and dreary outside. I really wish the sun would shine.
Enough already!
I realize that April showers bring May posies and all that, but we have had heavy rain, and storms for days on end, and from the looks of the weather channel for my area, were to have some pretty heavy thunderstorms for the next four or five days, unless…which I doubt, Mother Nature decides to give us a break. I’ve “talked” to my blogging buddies and they are saying their weather is the same where they are also. It would be nice to see sunshine for once.
On a Rant
I can not believe that a week ago, I was basking in the sunshine, even caught a tan and now it’s snowing. What is up with that? Of course, I can go on and on about how shooting big objects up into the atmosphere to see what they can see and also bombing the moon, not once, but two times may have something to do with it, as far as I’m concerned, but I’ll try not to depress myself even more by dwelling on it. I’m a sun baby, pure and simple. I hate the cold as much as I hate going to the dentist, which says a great deal right there. Okay, so my rant wasn’t really a full fledged rant, but a few more days of this will send me into one for sure!!
Ahhh Sunshine!
It’s been a totally glorious day today. I even caught a bit of a suntan!! Got a full dose of Vitamin D and Melatonin, plus felt great!! I putzed in the yard and sat in the sun making plans for which flowers and such, I wanted to plant where. Tomorrow it will no doubt so something funny and get cold and snow again, but at least for today, I was in 7th Heaven!! Sunshine is great for the health and soul!
