Well we were supposed to go to a carnival today but as luck would have it, it’s raining. That means no carnival. Now I’m wondering if that means the date is off or if he’ll come up with something else to do. I sure hope so. He hasn’t called me yet so I’m not sure what to do. We were supposed to leave about 12 o’clock today and I’m dressed and ready to go. I sure hope he doesn’t just leave me sitting here without a phone call or anything. That would not be cool at all!! I don’t think he’s that type of guy though. Oh there’s the phone. Maybe it’s him.
Here’s a good idea
Since we’ve been having so much rain, I need to get some rain barrels to collect the rain so I can water my flowers outside when it quits raining so much. That’s one of the best ideas I’ve had in a long time, don’t you think. They have some really nice looking rain water barrels now and not just those old wooden type of barrels. They not only are a great way to conserve water but they look great too.
Rain harvesting is really easy if you stop and think about it. All you do is sit the barrel somewhere the rain can hit it and you’re collecting the rain. How hard is that. I found rain barrels for sale online and picked out a couple for myself and even told my mother about them. She’s going to order some too.
Well it’s a rainy day again!!
Rain has become a real pain lately. When it all first started, I was really glad to see it but after about a month of it, I’m kind of sick of it. We had 11 straight days of rain before we had a nice day. I don’t think we have to worry that we’re in a drought anymore but I’m not sure. I haven’t heard the weather man say anything about it so we must not have to worry about that now. I hope not anyway and I also hope that we get a few sunny days soon too.
Talked to Mom about getting an ADT Alarm System
Since my mother has been doing so much to the house I’m sure that people are noticing. The problem is what people that might be. See there was a house on the block behind hers that someone broke into and destroyed whatever they didn’t take. I would hate to see something like that happen to Mom and her home. I was telling her about ADT Home Security and how they monitor your home 24 hours a day and 7 days a week so there’s not one minute in one day that someone is not looking after her and her home. I know I would feel a lot better if she had ADT installed.
She said that she has always felt safe in her home but I know that was because of Daddy being there with her. Well he’s not there to protect her anymore so she really needs something like an ADT alarm system to keep her safe. I then told her that with the ADT alarm system, they also monitor the house for floods, carbon monoxide as well as break-in or even personal emergencies. What if she was having chest pains? ADT has a button she would push and they would send someone right out to check on her . Now that’s security.

I just might go shopping
I need something new to wear to the carnival this weekend. Something that I won’t get too hot in or too cold in either because this time of year, you never know what the temperature is. Plus riding some of the rides can be a bit chilly. Besides everything else, it’s a darn good excuse to go shopping for something new. Don’t you think so? I do!! I might even get my sister to go with me. She’s really good at picking out clothes. Better than I an unfortunately.
I have put on a few pounds
You know how it is ladies, you get a new boyfriend or potential new boyfriend and all of a sudden, you realize you need to drop a few pounds. I always gain a little over winter but this past winter I put on about 15 pounds in all the wrong places. I hate diets because they don’t work but I love the protein drinks and snacks they have a the Protein Shop. I can drink one of their protein drinks for breakfast and one for lunch then have a sensible dinner and it works like magic for me. I keep some of the protein pretzels at work just in case I need something to munch on.
It’s a date!!
Ever since the new guy started at work, I have had a crush on him, and I have been dreaming of him coming up to me asking me out, and by golly he did! Not exactly in those words, but the other day was very rough and hard on me, and I felt like I needed somebody to talk to. He must have seen it in my eyes and asked me if I needed someone to talk to.
After I told him about my day and how it went, he had full intentions to make me smile and feel better for the rest of the day. All he did was give me advice and gave me a shoulder to lean on, and that got me to finally open up to him that I sort of have a crush on him.
He took my news very well, and had asked me to go with him tomorrow to a Carnival that was held about an hour away from where I live, and I of course said yes! I would be a fool to say anything other then yes. I cant wait to see how everything works out, I’m sure it will all go smoothly and heavenly! Or I hope it will anyway.
I’m watching the banks
I used to dabble a little in the stock market until that all went down the tubes. That’s true of a lot of people too unfortunately. Now I have been checking online to find the Best CD Rates so I will at least know my money will be there and even gain a little anyway instead of worrying it’ll all be gone.
They’re finally back
I got my hummingbird feeders out a couple of weeks ago and no hummingbirds. I thought they would be back by then but they weren’t. Oh there were plenty of bugs that managed to get into the feeder and drown but that was all until today. I finally saw a hummingbird and now I have to go home and make new nector for them because the other is probably sour by now. I make my own from 1 part sugar to 4 parts water and it works just as good at what you buy. It’s cheaper though!!!
