These are my birthday nails...

These are my birthday nails (a few days early) - orange-y for my topaz birthstone, and an owl because I like them. Notice that while my nails might not be the most beautiful things ever, they are not mangled from torture, nor have I ever been waterboarded to within an inch of my life. I do have offspring, but I wasn't forced to have him (and many others) while living in cramped quarters, unable to move away from my own waste, only to have him taken from me and sold to who knows who for someone else's gain. When you look at things like that, your life is probably pretty good. Just try to remember that not everyone else is so lucky. Perhaps you can even help. ❤

Heard this at McAlister's Deli where we went to lunch today... Shaun used his fancy phone to find out who it was.  I've heard this song a million times and I really like it, but never knew before who it was.  And how apropos for today!  (The chorus, anyway.)  😛

Today was definitely Monday, but not a horrible one.

Today was definitely Monday, but not a horrible one.  Shadow was sick and stayed home from school, and my car wouldn't crank.  By the time Shaun and I made it to Oxford we'd missed breakfast at Hardee's, which was a bummer because I REALLY wanted a cheese biscuit.  The rest of the day was ok, but I got home and started to show Shaun what was up with my car and it make a fool of me and cranked.  Not sure what to make of that, but I guess it's better than it not cranking.  Not sure if I trust it enough to drive it right now, though...

Ok...

Ok, it is SO beyond bed time.  I just microwaved foil.  I don't need to be left alone when sleepy.  @_@

Beginners luck...

Beginners luck - made 10 bucks playing poker tonight.  😃  Met some pretty cool new friends, too.  Thanks for having us over, Mary Beth!  ❤

Helped a friend in her yard...

Helped a friend in her yard, learned that I'm not all that scared to be on a roof, and made a little money - all while Emma had a play date with her buddy Kyle!  Been a good day so far!  (But I'm gonna be sore as hell tomorrow!)  ❤ you, Carla.  Today was fun.  😃

Today wasn't bad, but...

Today wasn't bad, but I'm tired and ready for bed.  So, I'm off to tuck the pooches in and call it a night.  Oh, and the highlight of my day:  I got a FANCY new stapler at work.  It's a Swingline!  😃😃😃❤
