My Summer Top Five

Summer is here! I have a couple months to enjoy the season, and I already have big plans.


compare Sheridan's Fourth of July celebration to Woodville's
I know the Sheridan townies keep up with the Woodville townies in the Red Onion vs. Jo-Jos contest. Now the question is can they keep up with Fourth of July celebrations. Now, admittedly Woodville has lost a few points since discontinuing the sale of beer by the half gallon milk jug...but it should be interesting to see a how Sheridan rates. Oh yes this will be blog material...


Turn 30
I don't want to do this...but since it is going to happen right, wrong, or other wise I might as well enjoy it


Lose at least 40 pounds
I'm going to Vegas in September...I want to not be self conscious. I'm already down 15...so lets keep hoping.


Build my writing business
If I want to be working from home full time by next June, I better get on it.


enjoy time with my friends
Whether it is out a the bar, at someone's house, singing karaoke in a backyard, or hanging at the pool, I want to spend quality time with the people who put up with my craziness.

Best Laid Plans

I sat down and crafted a list of blog topics last night, and the plan was start working through that list tonight. It was going to be the start of a true reboot of this old thing. While I had planned on picking my stepdaughter up at the Boys and Girls Club after work I didn't plan on: 1) The amazon parrot needing me to make a food stop on the way home 2) My stepdaugher wanting me to watch her practice for color guard 3) That working on our budget would take nearly as long as it did. 4) Being this exhausted for no particular reason Now I sit here with a basset hound in my lap, and I am awkwardly trying to type on my laptop without disturbing him. This won't  be the blog I wanted to write tonight. It won't  be carefully crafted. That blog post will have to wait. Sometimes  you have to roll with the unexpected.
