Air soft guns look like the real thing

Okay, my nephews came over last weekend with and air soft gun. I was totally taken back a bit because of the gun. Now, I try to be a “Cool Auntie”, but had to draw a line somewhere, since these guns totally are very neat, but come on…seriously they look very real. In my town, if anyone had one in their possession, they would get checked out to the max for carrying a weapon. Actually I have to say that I was impressed with the likeness of a real sort of assault gun, but hey… these are my nephews so I wasn’t sure how to handle the situation.

Okay, I hit plan B. I called my little brother, to ask about air soft guns.  He is a hunter and is into guns of all kinds. He said these were safe and that I should go out and play with the kids. I took his word for it. Have to say that indeed it didn’t hurt much getting shot at by these and quite frankly I had to also admit that they are much safer than even BB guns. Still, like any weapon, of any sort, they still can harm someone if not aimed properly.

The boys had a great time though, and I did after keeping an open mind, let them go for it with their air soft guns. I’m actually thinking about getting one for myself, just so I can play with the boys. To be honest, there is a lot of equipment that goes with them also that is really cool.

I don’t do Mondays

I really don’t like Mondays lately. Mondays never used to bother me until about a year ago. Maybe it’s because of getting older or something. I feel pretty blah this morning and it seems like my body does not want to get up so early to start doing the things I have to do today. I feel like just getting back into bed and going back to sleep, but then I no doubt wouldn’t because the lazy guilt’s would kick in, and I’d not be able to sleep anyway. Time to start the week.

The Casey Anthony case

I have been following the “fall out” on this case and the only thing I can say now, is that it seems that something is terribly wrong with the justice system. Granted a person has to be proven guilty within a shadow of a doubt, but in my personal opinion, there is just something, some sort of minor or even major evidence missing in this case, to have this woman get off on the charge of murder. Once again in my opinion, it all will come down to Karma. What goes around comes around…three fold. People don’t take kindly to child murderers, abusers or people like this woman who actually, despite of the other charges against her, will keep her in jail for awhile. From sources who know, she may not last long on the streets or in jail. One can only help feel, that on down the line, true justice will prevail. Enough said.

Spring as sprung?

Try telling the weather that, but last evening I was sitting in my office here at home, and the way my house is set up, I can see from my office into the living room and look out the front door and widows. I have lace curtains with tie backs on them, so indeed I can see straight out side. It hit me that my tree has all it’s leaves on it and looks like a green canopy. Of course most people have already realized that winter is over, but it hit me that I wasn’t looking at just tree branches. I know this sounds sort of strange, but the realization of the fact that perhaps now it really might get warm here, really hit me. I’ve also noticed that I have been too busy to notice little things and I need to take the time and a breather to appreciate it all.

Weekend plans.

I know I have to work a bit over the weekend and I also want to go check out some plants and seeds for my gardens. My blogging friends are all a buzz about plans for theirs and we are comparing ideas, sharing thoughts and as well as my friends, all interested in the straw bale gardening idea my dear friend told me about that I’m going to try. It all should be quite interesting. Like most my friends, who are fortunate enough to still have our Moms alive, we will go to visit them. Lately I’ve been entertaining the thought of what it would be like to be a mom. It comes and goes though. I want to be absolutely sure and ready if ever I decide to settle down and have a child. Still, it’s not like I don’t want kids. I do. But in this world of such disasters, and chaos, and also such hard times, should I bring a little one into the world? I don’t know. So…my weekend is going to be full. I also have to get around to cleaning this house, both inside and out. I’m such a procrastinator sometimes. Happy weekend, to All!
