what good cowboys drink...

so, i am sitting here -- with the windows wide open, no tv, no music -- and a bottle of sarsaparilla that i bought down the street. it's nice and quiet. today was a nice day, although i was a little grumpy, but it was sunny and warm - i put in a plastic thing that people use to edge gardens - well, i used it to try to keep my ever-eroding front lawn from ending up on the sidewalk. i used some stones to make a little channel for runoff from the house - all knowledge of water management i learned from grad school... um, yeah. my daffodils bloomed, and my crocuses - and there are little buds on the trees. it's nice.

so today, i thought i would paint my hall -- part of it -- because everything is white and i wake up and look at a white wall - and so, i finally decided to do something about it. after 3 trips to lowes - i finally got some paint that i think i like -- it's pretty soft -- actually, it might be hard to see that i did anything -- so, i may have to make it darker, i don't know. but - while i was painting, i climbed the ladder to get to the ceiling and stick my head right in the fan. POW POW POW -- oooch...so now i have a big lump on my head. it's pretty funny but it does hurt -- and you can see where the two blades smacked me. i decided to call it quits at that point.

gotta know when your ahead i guess... ha haaa ;)

now, i am waiting for the storm that was supposed to be coming -- see if my graduate degree is of any use...
