How many days in a row can I say it was hot? I guess today is the last time for a couple days at least. Tomorrow is only supposed to be about 80F.

Had a semi-boring day at work today. I had a few orders to enter, didn't take me long, but then I got to make the file folders for them, so that killed some time. Not much invoicing to do...only one customer, with one shipment today and one from Friday. Not enough to make it worthwhile to go through all the effort of printing the checklist for my boss to approve and then print the actual invoices. I'll wait until tomorrow when I should have a couple more to print.

This afternoon the sky started getting dark, as the storm system moved in that we were expecting today. It rained almost my whole way home, fortunately not that hard, pouring-down rain, just drizzle. Enough to make me put my wipers on medium delay. We really did need the rain, despite all the rain we got in the fall, and the snow in the winter; I had already started to notice the level of the lake by me was going down. Unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of rain with this system. What we need is a good daylong soaking rain. But now that June is here we are more prone to the odd thunderstorm with brief periods of heavy rain.

I stopped at the store on the way home to pick up some food for this week. I think I bought just enough to get me through until Friday, when I head down to Memphis to visit my high school girlfriend. I have three porkchops to bbq, a banana for each morning (including Friday), some cantaloupe which I can inhale in one sitting, lol. I LOVE cantaloupe. I also saw some blackberries at the store, mmmmm, don't know how much they were, it's been so long since I had some, I HAD to buy them. Will take them to work tomorrow and have them with my lunch.

Tonight's dinner was a cheeseburger, just the burger and a slice of cheese and some katsup. No bun, lol. I also had a salad with it, to get some greens. I'm still working out during my lunch hour at work. I weighed myself late last week, but hadn't lost any weight so far. BUT, this weekend, my aunt asked if I was still walking. I told her I what I was doing at work, and said I hadn't lost any weight yet. She said, "You're compacting first, I noticed your butt was tighter." LMAO! Imagine that coming from my aunt! Kerry and Debby have met her, so they understand the hilarity behind that. She signs her emails to me "Your crazy Ant" and yes we spell it A-N-T. Can't remember why, she's my adopted aunt, not related by blood or marriage, so it started before I ever was "adopted" by the family.

Oh, and Hitch was great. I really liked that movie. It was on TBS last night, so not sure when they'll air it again. I'm sure you could rent it though. It was cute enough that I wouldn't mind seeing it again. Classic love story, boy meets girl, fall in love, won't admit it, hurt each other, make up and live happily ever after, lol. But it's what happens in between all that that makes the movie funny and cute. It's one I probably wouldn't mind owning.

I also borrowed Blood Diamond from my aunt to watch one of these days. And I still have to watch Sunday's Nascar race before Friday, since I'll be missing this next weekend's race, I think in Sonoma. Anyway, I've rambled on enough for tonight, time to start getting ready for bed, or I'll never get up in the morning.

  3. It rained. Finally the hundreds of flowers that are planted get some nitrogen and water that doesn't come from a hose. The temp is suppose to tumble down to the mid 70's!!!!!!

  4. No rain here yet...been a couple of weeks since we've had any rain other than a few drops. Our lawn is burnt up (except for the weeds that always seem to grow no matter what). It's hot and humid here today. I have to be to work at noon to cover for my sister, and I know it's gonna be hot in the office when I get there. The lady who works in the morning before me doesn't like the air conditioning. :(

    I love cantelope but it doesn't love me, so I don't eat it anymore. Terri loves blackberries. We bought a few plants a long time ago and planted them along the one building in our back yard. Birds like them too...then poop purple stuff all over the place. :\

    I have the "Hitch" dvd laying on my coffee table to watch sometime. Karen loaned it to me awhile back...looks like a funny movie.

    Hope you're having a good day. Stay cool.
