I just mowed the lawn and HOLY SHIT!! Not only is the grass long (duh), but there is still mega puddles all over the place. I had to disengage the already up deck so that the mower didn’t die I did one pass over the entire yard and now I am going to wait until tonight to make another. I am hoping that because the sun is out and it is warm, some of the water will evaporate and I can mow a little better this evening. I guess we shall see. At least the one pass exposed the standing puddles, right? UGH!!

I went for a bike ride this evening and it was nice. Well…sort of. Because of all the nasty weather we’ve been having, there were several branches down across the trail. Not a problem, I barreled over them like the biker I am, but then there was an actual tree blocking the trail and I had to turn around Kind of added to my day of happy times.

Didn’t stop there! As I’m peddling home, a bug flew up my freakin’ nose!! Fucker flew up there with some purpose I tell ya! I was pretty sure he went straight down my throat, but I wanted to do my best to make sure he got out. I had to take a moment and collect myself. I quit breathing during this time to make sure the bug did not journey further down into my nasopharynx. What did I decide to do to dislodge said bug? I did a good ol’ farmers blow!! Hell yeah I did. And yes, to all you males wondering, I am ALWAYS this sexy. Yup, dead sexy, baby. At least it was a clean blow and I felt better. Not sure if the bug left with my snot or was already on its way to my belly, but I felt better about the situation and that’s what counts!

Yesterday I had to make another trip to UW-Milwaukee for some more books and just other stuff had to be taken care of. I had a friend go with me and after we got our running done, we had lunch. Neither of us really cared where we ate, so we stopped at this place next to Culvers called…Bakers something or I dunno? Either way, we were seated and told our waitress would be right with us. We sit and talk for a good…15min. My friend asks if we are going to get service and I said, “I don’t know? I was just thinking that.” Right after I uttered those words, a waitress brings drinks to the table behind ours and walked away. At that point we left. Who does that shit? We seriously sat for at least 15 min and no one said a word to us. The place wasn’t even busy! We got into my car and drove next door to Culvers. Yup, had our food before we even got our drinks filled. Now THAT was service. Oh well, the other place smelled of old people anyway.

My son got some birthday money yesterday and HAD to spend it that evening. We went to the forbidden store and he got $7 and some change after purchasing his toys. After shopping we went to dinner. My son says, “Mom, give me all of my change (jingle- jangle change)please.” I give him his change. Guess what he does? He walks over and put all of his change into the little donation jar on the counter. This is not the first time he has made a donation, but isn’t that the sweetest thing EVER!!

He makes me SO proud!!

10 yrs. ago at 4:25 am, I welcomed a 9lb. 1/2 oz., 21in long baby boy into this world and it has been downhill ever since. HA! I am totally kidding!! He is really the best thing that ever could have happened to me. I have always said, “If I could have designed my child, he would not be nearly as great as the one I got.”

My handsome man. Awww!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Monkey!! Mom loves you!!

Took my son and his friend to Pizza Hut for lunch and this is what I saw:

Can someone, anyone, tell me why on EARTH he would tuck his shirt in? I mean, is he trying to show off his new Good Year tire or what? I just don’t get it, but I live in the mid west, so what can you expect?

Yesterday I took my son to see the Mr. Bean movie. Uhh? Please don’t waste your time. I knew it wasn’t going to be stellar by any means, but it was pretty freakin’ bad! Oh well. Kept us occupied for an hour and a half?

I will say, it looks like we have some good movies headed our way based on the previews we saw before the train wreck.

Thank you Sadie for enabling my shoe habit. These are what I will be doing the walkin’ in. I hope they last for quite a while because I am POOR and I will be single for a while
