It was the week that was and unfortunately nothing much happened.
How do my witty blogger pals come up with magnificent summaries of fun filled fascinating days?
One sees wild horses and swans, and another treks into the unknown, and still others record family reunions, baby birds learning to fly and the drama of insects pollinating the world.
This old gal staggers out of bed each morning and things are pretty much the same as yesterday.
I HAD A RUNNY NOSE MOST OF THE WEEK.
It was leftover from a sore throat that hit two weeks ago. Not a pretty sight really. Not a pretty mood either.
I WASHED MY HAIR SUNDAY NIGHT AND BY MONDAY MORNING THE FRIZZ WAS BACK.
Seems the older I get, the more tolerance I have for frizz and things.
The trick is to think of my head as covered with a lion’s mane. Then try to avoid mirrors. And no matter what – walk tall with pride.
Dad always said to do that you know – walk tall with pride.
BILL SAID HE SAW SIX BUCKS!
No, not the money. These were six male deer with antlers, except for one. No, not the antler – the deer.
There was a spotted antlerless fawn hanging around the macho crowd!
Talk about luck. I missed that awesome photo op too.
But, did you know deer have bachelor parties, or that they invite youngsters to join in?
Don’t you think this raises all sorts of questions about the nurturing habits of deer?
Maybe they have the equivalent of inner city gangs teaching newbies how to maraud and pillage. It would explain the mass extermination of plant life in our gardens.
MY MONTHLY “OUTING” WITH FRIEND NORMA WAS A GRAND SUCCESS – EXCEPT FOR LUNCH.
We hit a new Thai restaurant in Staunton, Virginia (pronounced Staaantin by our locals) and I smugly ordered Green Chicken Curry like I knew exactly what that was.
There was an extended level of HOT shock and awe. I was speechless, hacking, and had no control over watering eyes. The wait staff looked on with pity and kept checking to see if “we” were all right.
Norma was doing fine with her Red Chicken Curry.
I left the restaurant hungry but on the positive side, my sinuses were cleared.
TODAY WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE OUR BATHROOM FLOOR REPLACED.
Talk about excitement!
I am really looking forward to that and to including the event in next Friday’s Exciting Random Rants.
