Lady the magical dog..
Dog is at the vet getting her checkup and all the extras...they're even gonna clip her toenails..no more 'click click' on the tile floor...she loves people, just not other dogs, so I've warned them...we took her in before the other folks brought in their dogs, but I have a feeling they will bring her right out into the waiting room this afternoon when its full of dogs and it'll cause a problem..no matter how much I tell people about how much she doesn't like other dogs, no one listens...
I got the weeds mowed and it was a massive undertaking..some of these weeds grew so big from all the recent rains that they would not let me chop them down...they'd lay down, and the mower would just strip the leaves, but they'd pop right back up afterward...and pulling them by hand - it was like trying to pull a tree out of the ground...bah...but at least the a/c unit is 'vine-free'...and all is right with the world...
I was on one of the Harry Potter sites over the weekend and they showed a store in the US that already has their boxes of books - and they'd opened them to inventory them...which means of course, YOU KNOW someone will open a book and post all the spoilers...I'm just warning you - stay off the boards...
I've signed up for a new book-rental service that Helen told me about...Booksfree is very similar to how Netflix is done, although it seems that most of the books aren't recent releases, but for me that's not a problem because I'm so non-read that every book is 'new' to me...I have 35 books in my queue already! Three of them showed up (Hercule Poirot and David Sedaris) and I'm gonna try them out on my computer today...I like the plans they offer, the disk return is free, I hope the company grows and becomes popular...
I bought all sorts of fruit yesterday..plums, peaches, bananas, strawberries, grapes...I was craving fruit...time to go clean them and devour...yum...
