In A Daydream...Rambling On!

Caution: Ramble Warning!

Tuesday morning,
Never looked so good.
I'm already in,
In a daydream.
(In a Daydream by The Freddie Jones Band)

What a perfect morning to ramble on randomly with total recklessness. I’m not the only one who does this. Just go visit Stacey Uncorked and you’ll see.

Whoa, baaaabyyyyy! 92 Degrees on the way today. I LOVE hot weather and, actually, it can never be too hot for me. I’d rather be too hot than too cold any day of the week! This kind of weather means warm water and swimming to me. Also, it’s time to break out the paddleboard just before sunset, one of my favorite times of the day and a great way to get/keep my head on straight.

Why is it that I spend all day long thinking that I have nothing to write and that I’ll just read my time away instead, then when I hop in bed, all sorts of ideas begin invading my brain, so much so that I struggle to fall asleep because I’m willing myself to remember everything in the morning? I refuse to turn on the light at that point ‘cause it’s late and I’m NOT getting out of my cozy bed. I give up on this sleep thing. I here by declare, “Sleep…You’re Overrated!” anyway!!!

Still catching up from being away for a while and hating the laundry as usual so it’s sort of not getting done, at least, so far. What’s really been weird since we’ve been home is being in my house without my darling, brown creatures accompanying my every move (the bathroom gets crowded when two 75 lb. Labs join you). No kids. No dogs. Too quiet for me. Changing this immediately.

So I might have called my husband mean last night because he said, “For Heaven sakes, no more dogs.” I can do a pretty mean (in a good and loving way) puppy dog/bat the lashes eye thing and it's usually pretty effective, at the very least, able to get a “Maybe”. My end goal is for a rescue Lab in the near future. It’s going to take a lot of sugar sprinkled around to get this to happen BUT I’m good with sugar tactics.

I have this theory about parties, weddings and things like that. You have to make your own fun, be responsible for you, because sometimes things just aren’t. Like the wedding I went to this weekend. On paper, it should have been the best wedding ever...set in a grove, on a beautiful day, on a vineyard ranch in California. My friends and I took matters in our own hands with some decent results…


 (Sure, stick me on a horse for your own amusement)


(Susie and I always think we should kiss things/people, even ponies)

 (Why is there a Gucci mini car in the lobby of the hotel at Midnight?)


(Where’s Security? And why don't people tell me to mind my behavior or go to bed?)

If you made it through this entire “Ramble Session”, congratulations and thank you for indulging me. Sometimes this is all we can do or all our minds will allow.

Bummed Out Meets "Not My Dog"!


Remember all the procrastinating I’ve been doing this week. Well, this is one of the things I planned to do for five days but, of course, I put off until today…Friday.

I love flowers and always plant A TON!

So, pictured here are 14 flats of flowers I purchased yesterday and planted today. These go in the ground. Next weekend I will do all my pots.



I planted rather leisurely, not pressed for time and taking a diet coke break here and there. The weather was gorgeous, filled with sunshine and a light breeze. It was the perfect day to get these babies in the ground.

After a full day of planting and yard work (so as to have appeared productive over the course of one week here and who could doubt it with beautiful flowers all over the yard?), it was time to hit the shower. I was filthy!

This is what I returned to not 30 minutes later.



Not my dog (AND not the only spot dug up)!


 I have two large chocolate Labs. They’re not diggers.
