i can’t wait until tuesday.
i am so pathetic.

>more proof that i’ve completely lost my mind

>strangely enough, i am looking forward to thanksgiving this year. i will be making a full-blown thanksgiving meal for the first time. i suppose it won’t be that different from doing christmas dinner, but somehow there’s more pressure with it being thanksgiving.

yeah, see? that’s got to be crazy, right?

and i was afraid it wasn’t going to happen. my dad is being his usual stubborn self. he’s having problems with his feet and his back, apparently, but do you think he’ll go to the doctor? haha, yeah, right. my mom was saying she wasn’t sure how he’d be for thanksgiving. we have, i don’t know, around eight steps up to our porch and he has a lot of trouble with them on the best of days. but he has said today that he thinks he can handle coming over on thursday and i’m all excited. what is that all about?

if this keeps up, i might even start looking forward to christmas. help me!

>la-lala-lala

>what would you do-oo-oo for a klondike bar?

no, this isn’t a blog about annoying jingles, i’m just trying to get some of the goofiness out of my head.

i am rather exhausted today. it appears to be a combination of insomnia and kids who are trying to put me into an early grave. i don’t know what i’m going to do about either.

this is where i was going to put a photo that i took this morning, but for the last few days i’ve been having problems uploading photos to flickr. suddenly, i’m only able to upload one photo at a time, and it’s really starting to piss me off. i don’t know if it’s a problem with flickr, my computer or my internet connection. is it possible that cincinnati bell have discovered that hubby and i were going to change over to time warner and have slowed our connection speed down in retaliation?

did i mention i was tired? i think it’s worth mentioning again.

and it’s monday. yet another weekend gone with absolutely nothing accomplished. yay. the grass still hasn’t been mown. we have 6 trees of as yet undetermined species sitting in a bucket of water down in the basement waiting to be planted. if they’re not dead by now. and hubby keeps talking about doing a vegetabe garden. ha! i’ll believe it when i see it. any of it.

the highlight of my weekend was date night last friday. we got out rather early, had a nice meal at cracker barrel and then went to the bookstore for coffee. the ony black spot on that evening was going to the ladies room and hearing someone exit a stall and leave the bathroom without washing her hands. *gag* almost makes me see why my sister walks around with 3 types of hand sanitizer in her purse.

and just so you don’t forget, i’m tired and need a nap. heh.

>what an incredibly long day…

>so. i didn’t end up going to bed last night. that was fun. i won’t go into the boring details of the whys and wherefors. *shock horror* what the hell am i going to blog about then?

*shrug* i don’t know. let’s find out together, shall we?

since i was up all night, around 5am i decided that i needed to go shopping. i grabbed my camera as i headed out the door, too, because i thought it might be a good chance to get some sunrise photos somewhere other than my front porch. i think i mentioned that i’d wanted to go out saturday. that didn’t happen. it’s too bad, too. that would have been the only way to see any sun at all.

it was a dismal morning. way too many clouds to see any sunrise. it only managed to get lighter, nothing else. blah.

i guess i should tell you that i drove up to that abandoned railroad track that i went to last summer. i should probably put a link to the blog where i posted those photos, but i don’t feel like it. sorry.

i decided a few days ago that i really need to figure out the manual settings on my camera, so i set the little dialy thing to m, which i think is the totally manual settings. i don’t know, i could be wrong. i haven’t looked at the manual since i first got my camera. heh. anyway, as i was driving up to the railroad tracks, i saw a bunch of deer. they were in three different fields along the route that i was going. i thought, “great! i have my camera!” except that it wasn’t so great. i didn’t have the settings right and everything was so, so dark. that sort of unsalvageable dark that there is just no fixing. poop.

anyway, i took quite a few photos while i was there. unfortunately, hardly any of them turned out. i suppose i’m going to have to quit being so damn stubborn about using a tripod. although i am going to blame the wind a little bit, too.

i’m not sure this photo really should have been kept. in the larger sizes you can see how blurry this photo actually is. but i deleted so many! and i seem to have lost one. i have no idea where i saved it at.

after i finished messing around here, i came home and waited. my mom was coming to pick me up at 11 so we could go to my cousin’s daughter’s baby shower. she lives way out in the middle of nowhere around an hour away. i thought i might get a chance to take some photos on the way there, but it started raining.

i did take photos at the party, but they were of my family, so i won’t bore you all with those. i’m sure just trying to get through this blog was difficult enough. yay you!

who says you can’t finish with a thud? again, i couldn’t be bothered to arrange these from worst to best. *sigh*
