Few thots...

Well, just wanted to update a bit...not that I have much to update... :-)

Let's see...we have been having see-saw weather down here...but it is warming up again, for which I am glad. A lot of the azalias were frozen a few days ago. Some stuff is making a recovery. I heard rumors that the peach crop suffered, but I don't know for sure.

The dogs are fine. We went for a hike the other day...it was fun. I forgot that Sparky likes the water, so when I let them go to the creek for a drink...he jumped in...then he proceeded to decorate his back end with debris from along the trail, which stuck to his now soaking wet fur. Poor guy, kept trying to figure out what was following him! :-D Ha, ha! The next day he got a haircut...already scheduled and definitely needed. Shadow went for her yearly check up and seems to be still healthy. The doctor is always amazed at how much non-stop energy she is!

This weekend I am going to GA with Kendra. Kendra is participating in an adventure race called MedWAR. I am going to volunteer and also get a peek at what is involved so that maybe I can join a team next time. Lynetta was planning to come visit me this weekend, so she is going with us. It ought to be a lot of fun.

Work is going fine. Nothing really exciting to report. :-p

Well, my tummy is hungry, I have already eaten, and I really should get a nap. I have a lot to do tomorrow to get ready for the weekend!

A late update :-)

Well, I thought I would take a few moments and update. :-P It has been a while...

Dogs are doing fine...they are pretty good friends now. Shadow had to go to the vet the other day and poor Sparky whined and acted very bewildered when she went back without him. :-D

Work is fine, trying to balance the need for OT with the need for time off. Mostly routine stuff lately. No new babies delivered or anything like that. :-)

My friend Nick is recovering from necrotizing fasciitis. I can only imagine how hard and frustrating it would be to be bed ridden for weeks! Wow! The docs seem pleased with his progress...though it is not fast enough in his eyes (understandably).

We have had incredibly spring/summer weather here the past few weeks. Last night the temps dipped down to the 40s. Boy are we spoiled... ;-p

I do wonder why redbuds are purple?

The weeds are growing rather well and unsolicited in my little "garden" area.

I actually have a holiday off from work. I am looking forward to going to church Easter Sunday...my friends and I haven't decided if we are going out to eat at Sticky Fingers or if we are going to grill out at Stewart's house?

Speaking of friend's and their houses...we watched Facing the Giants at Nate's house the other night. A pretty good movie...

Went to Carson's Steak House on Tuesday night...it was pretty good...it was sorta' last minute, so not many people were able to make it...but some did come. We ate without the others anyway. :-D

Working a 36 hr shift at one of (VERY) outlying QRVs!

Made some Lemon Poppyseed muffins from a mix yesterday...the mix came with a glaze to put on top...I don't think I like the glaze...it just becomes a very sticky, slimy mess everywhere! But I didn't know that and put it on all the muffins...that is what I get for following directions. :-P

:-D
