Threatening Thursday here...
25
Thu, 08-12-2004 - 12:32am

The gov. has declared a state of emergency here, because we may be slammed by two strong storms at the same time. Bonnie is coming ashore at the Panhandle part of the state from the Gulf and Charlie is heading up the East Coast when it gets north of the Bahamas. We've been really fortunate here in recent years, so hope our luck holds out.


I'd like to finish the yard work I started Tuesday. I didn't realize how high and thick the grass had gotten, plus edging was really tough as thick as the grass it. Even after I cut the runners, I had to go back and pull them by hand. Got some of the blowing done, but still need to do the driveway and some of the curbs. I've been working at trying to get the weeds pulled, but they are much more persistent about growing than I am about pulling.


Hope everyone makes the most of this day. It's the only 8/12/04 we'll ever have! Make it count.

Hi, Lori...good to hear you are taking a rest day today after your double workout yesterday. Nice to hear you are listening to you body.


I agree with being thankful for all the good people in our lives.

The weather is starting to get oppressive here, Deb. A girl's afternoon of beauty...how cute for you and Katie. I happened to look at my roots today...hmmm....time to do something about them too.


That wedding is getting close. Seems like it was months away not too long ago. Hope you have good luck finding a dress for Katie. Good thing to do on this upcoming rainy weekend.


Have a good one. Nothing too exciting is ok...;)

This weather doesn't help with the energy level. It has to do with the pressure. See??? I have given you an excuse to feel that way. :-) LOL about Otto not wanting to go out in the rain...it is so unpredictable. Those poor people yesterday who died in the storm because of a down line in the flood.


Hope you are able to keep your eyes open at work and your energy comes back.


Thinking of you on this thankful Thursday.

Thanks, Lori. I hope we don't get splatted between the two. That hasn't happened since I think 1907, which luckily, I was not around to experience. ;-)


You've earned a break today. As for the yardwork, I really do enjoy it. It's much cheaper than a therapist, and I like the activity and results.

Where in MD is the race? Hope they're able to go on with it.


I was feeling like The Shaggy Dog last night, so I chopped on my bangs. Actually, I guess it's true that owners and dogs look alike. Both of my Yorkies could use their "bangs" trimmed too. Hope you and Katie have fun at your appts. Take care

Thanks, Donna. I was talking to my dad this morning, and he said I should just leave it and let the wind and rain wash everything away. I told him I tried that the last time when it rained, and it mostly just matted it in place which left a bigger mess to clean up.


He sounded very good on the phone today, I'm happy to report. I told him you asked about him, and he appreciated it. Me too. :-)

Thanks, Susan. I've been feeling the effects of the weather and having to get up earlier too, so I sympathize with how you were feeling this morning.


Sure hope the weather stays decent for your daughter's trip and that she gets home safely.
