Hot and Tired

Preening Grey - 5 x 7 - My Original Watercolor sold on Ebay for $56.00!


It's been a month since I last blogged .... and I dont really even have a good reason other than being tired and hot and lazy by the time I sit down at the computer at night.

I work at an Import store ... we have people come in and ask for things made in the USA. Uuhhh, IMPORT store ... sigh... then they get irritated about us not having things made in the USA. Then after they leave the store, I feel like a traitor working for a company that only sells imported items. I feel like I'm un-American by doing what I'm doing. It's a lame job, but it's helping pay the bills, put food on the table and buy gas for our gas hog vehicles. Then after I think of that, I dont' feel so un-American after all. I'm living the dream ... working in a wonderful country and actually having food to buy/eat and two gas guzzling vehicles is a blessing.... no matter what kind of store I work at.

Happy has been rough and tumble the past month. He dislocated his own elbow one day (nursemaids elbow) and we got that fixed at the ER and he's fine. Then he busted his nose and bled everwhere and got checked at his Dr's office and he's fine. Now he thinks that cigarettes are "good" and he pretends that he's smoking one. That has prompted me to call my Dad and give him a good talking too. He felt terrible about it ... and has said he'd quit smoking in front of Happy (or stop smoking period!). Happy is a very intent, observant little 2 1/2 year old .... and he'll watch and figure things out in his little head.

I have a small odd confession. At work tonight, I counted a Buddha's toes. Yep. I did. It looked like too many, but it wasn't. Just five on each foot. How many people can say that they counted a Buddha's toes today? It was an odd figurine....I never see people buy them either.
