Probably sleeping, but instead, I am going for a midnight swim in a few minutes.

I want to make sure that my son is settled in and that my daughter is out for the night.  Then I will go out to the pool and, hopefully, floating in the warm water I will find a way to chill this day away for my own self.

If I bring a swimsuit is there room for one more?

I suspect Dawg's pool is a swimsuit free zone at midnight  :eyebrows:

Trust me, he would not only beg for me to wear one, he would find an open all-night store to buy me one.

We who are little and round must have more faith in our special appeal.  :hug:

 :plus:  Yeh, sometimes I make too much fun of my little fat self.
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

You are quite right.  This time of year I have vines growing over eight feet high (almost two and a half meters) all around my yard and you can not see through them, since they are also about three feet thick (about one meter deep).  Growing a massive jungle out of tropical/subtropical plants is a labor of love for me and I do it every year, then in late fall, after the hard freeze, I take my machete to the whole lot and make it look like Indiana again for the winter.

Creating what looks to be a jungle is just one of my many ways of "fighting back" against depression. The fact that doing so, while wearing a ten gallon, Texas straw hat and fairly clever snake-skin boots, makes me the talk of the neighborhood and/or a ridiculous spectacle is not relevant to my needs. 

Unfortunately, since I hurt my hip and it has never healed completely, I am stuck with only the large plants. I can no longer crawl around on the ground and cultivate amazing detail plants.

My swim was very refreshing, by the way.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Quite the contrary. I'm sure you look quite hot.

I also admire you for being able to be focused on creating something in the garden. I always want to go crazy in the garden section of the hardware superstore...but I'm not sure I've ever quite got my plants right.

It was funny today. I ventured to the big hardware mecca superstore and thought of Callaway - whilst buying Roundup (she always recommends it! - Roundup = Callaway to me now)...

and then I meandered to the garden section and I was wishing I could have some of your sage advice. (Sage as in...wise, not on the herb ;) )....anyway....it was funny....here I am in this hardware store, wishing I had 2 people I have never even met, to give me advice. ( I was needing Callaways....and probably your, advice on what size pack of Roundup, and was the big kahuna spray hose job worth buying :P) Hilarious.

Re the no kneeling whilst gardening....I guess you have looked at these and they are still no good for your back?

Should be packing my bags for almost an hour now.

Better get on with it, and leave this addictive place.

You needed to sleep dear lady, I left for your own good  :P




Now I'm back, and exactly where I should be, hidden under blankets, job done, shopping done, kids content, and me chatting and posting.

No, you may not. There is good whoring to post about, or something like that.

Sorry. I was tired.

I'm trying to remember if I posted about my Soviet helmet I bought or not. I like putting it on and then bashing myself on the head  :laugh:

post a pic.

It is the same with me today.  I will not be able to respond to all those who have responded to my responses to their responses to my responses ...

I am just too tired.

I should probably set aside my wagon ride for a bit and just get plastered to the floor so I can then sleep well for a change. Work was rough today and we had two "call offs" in my department, leaving ME in the saddle of HI-HO Silver, all by myself.

Take it easy my friend. This is always the problem with I2. Can't respond to everyone. Doesn't mean they are forgotten, just that life does get in the way.
