This evening I’m using my new mini grill and it’s GREAT!! I had to assemble it, but no problem for a super woman like me Yeah, so I did put a few pieces on wrong, but I figured it out right away. HA!! I had this charcoal bag and you just light the whole darned thing and set it in your grill, right? Well it was a wee bit windy, so we had to light about 800 matches to get the thing going, but we did it. My son was ALL about lighting the matches. Get the thing lit and he’s giggling away saying, “I wanna watch it BURN!” I think he might be a pyro, but I’m not sure just yet. He was ALL about watching the flames and as soon as they died, he lost interest. He kept saying it was a building, boat, or whatever burning. Made me a little nervous that he’s going to be a fire bug like my brother, Scott. Oh well. As long as he doesn’t start torturing small animals!!

Another highlight of my day, going Frisbee golfing. Yeah, that was a disaster!! We started off just fine….for the first two holes. My son warned me that the third we were going to have to make it across the water. I thought, I can do it. That was my first mistake! No, I could not do it and my frisbee tanked right in the middle of some weed filled ick. We pondered for a few as to how we might get it out without actually going IN the water. I finally said, screw it, I’m going in!!! Take my shoes and socks off, roll my pants up to my knees. Now, I knew the water was going to be cold and mucky, but I wasn’t ready for what happened next. Step in and OH SHIT, sank in up to my freakin’ knees!! Yeah, my ass climbed out real quick like as I said goodbye to my pretty pink frisbee. Shoot, that thing was $7 and that was its first and last use Oh well, better luck next time.

Now that everyone has had a good laugh at my expense, I’m going to get back to grilling. Hopefully I won’t burn the place down. Of course with my luck as of late, don’t be surprised if my next blog includes a new house and the fire dept!!!

PEAS!!!

I recently discovered that this woman is just about as jaded as me BUT, I do loves what she has to say!!

ENJOY some lovely words from Ms Dorothy Parker:

“Four be the things I’d have been better without:
Love, curiosity, freckles and doubt.”

“By the time you swear you are his, shivering and sighing, And he vows his passion is infinite and undying- Lady, make a note of this: One of you is lying.”

“This wasn’t just plain terrible, this was fancy terrible. This was terrible with raisins in it.”

“The first thing I do in the morning is brush my teeth and sharpen my tongue.”

“It serves me right for putting all my eggs in one bastard.”

“Love is like quicksilver in the hand. Leave the fingers open and it stays. Clutch it, and it darts away.”

“You can drag a horticulture, but you can’t make her think.”
on being challenged to use the word Horticulture in a sentence.

“I shall stay the way I am because I do not give a damn.”
