Ray's House of Love (Volume II)

So this morning I was singing while I did dishes and then I remembered and felt guilty for feeling good. But life has to go on.

In the shower, yes, there is singing. Doing the dishes?
Dishwasher in my apt. broke down last weekend and I have not burst into song washing dishes in the sink. Repair guy comes tomorrow afternoon and then I may hum a few bars from Puccini.

Well, you're not alone, Sass. A very close friend died on Sunday. I found myself noticing things that would have made an interesting picture.

Odious to Joy *snort*

morning peeps

Hi guys, sorry I'm disappearing for such long periods of time. I run a couple of social groups, and I've gotten so friggin' busy running those groups, I spend most of my online time tweaking things for those groups, updates, etc.

It's kind of become a second job. I enjoy it, but than I forget how much time it's been since I've posted here!

Just saying hi, since I've been "cheating" on AW with others.

Even though I grew up in Georgia, it's hot and humid even for me today. So, I can't make fun of anyone that whines about the heat today. You can make fun of me instead, this time. Heh.

I'm not going to make fun. I've got a moderate sunburn.

I'll miss you. Hope your trip goes well.

Good to have you back, BKiddo! Of course, I've been gone too, so that's why I didn't notice
And yes, way too hot to go outside today. Though the beach scenery and a badly needed hike are enticing, why do that when I've got new pillows and a new (3rd) cooling fan, my laptop and writing/creative stuff to do? That's what I thought...

Keep as cool as you can, tubbers! Kid 3 and her husband went to Maine this weekend, where I saw precip on the weather map. (The rain in Maine stays plainly in the ....?) Across the country I could tell you how the weather was in the San Juan Islands today, where I took a little trip, but that would be cruel. I will report that as the ferry headed back to the mainland around 6 p.m., hundreds of passengers on board, a contradancing caller and a 3-pc band set up on the second deck and got a whole bunch of random people (not in some dance club) to do-si-do. It wasn't one of those flash-mob scenes, the caller had to take 3-4 minutes to explain the steps for each song and have the people practice a bit. But it was way cool.
Trevor, easily amused on a ten-dollar cruise trip.

No posts for three days and Ray's slips to the second page. C'mon, tubbers, don't let this board look like your lawns just because Maryn goes off the net for a few days.
I am jazzed because I just heard from a tango instructor, and I want to know the rudiments of tango before I travel to Argentina next November.
Trevor, checking netflix for Evita.

Sorry. I haven't felt very chatty.
I'll make some coffee.

I have not felt chatty either, Sass.

Sunbrun aside that sounds nice.
I once got burned on the bottoms of my feet when I fell asleep on my stomach at the beach. OUCH.

Double ouch, Sass--we forget what a sensitive area the sole can be until we hurt it. Top of the foot is owie country, too. Bet M's footwear is limited to flp-flops until she can stand to tie shoelaces again.
Trevor, safeguarding the feet for those tango lessons

yes back ups are good!
we use carbonite and an external hard drive for double back ups.

Sorry to hear about the dead hard drive, Maryn.

Happy Friday!

With Hubby's late work hours, I am exhausted by Friday. Napping and a short night's sleep doesn't equate to a long night's sleep, apparently.
Please send good vibes and/or prayers that he gets the day shift position he applied/interviewed for. He had a great performance review so I hope that translates to the new shift for him.

Good luck to your husband, Sass!

thanks Komnena. how're you and your family?

We continue to plod along. I have spent my day off sorting books. My mother, may her memory be eternal, told me the day would come when I would be tired of having so many books but I wouldn't listen. I have made a small dent today. I have been ruthless today.
