Hmmmmm.....
There are all sorts of crazy, wacky things going on here, all good...the house is in upheaval with all the new furniture we just bought, but haven't hauled upstairs yet...I can't get to the closet where the vacuum cleaner is, without moving 15 shelves and a large table...but I'm gonna do it! Cause I must vacuum today or I'm gonna lose my mind...exciting stuff, right? Here's something that you mighta found amusing (or not)...I was in the bathroom this morning, and when I moved some tiling equipment (yes, we are repairing some bathroom tiling too) a GIANT spider jumped out at me...I didn't even flinch, I just looked at him to make sure he really was a spider and not some thread that was lost in the corner...now I have to go scoop him up and toss him outside before the cats kill him...he's a biggie, this will be fun and a little skittery...hmmm...I wonder how it'll all work out...
Brian tells me he's working on a new blog software for my site...I really want to overhaul this thing, give it a new facelift..I've been contemplating whether I should build it again or just outsource it to Pappashop and be done with it...my concern is that I like to be hands on with my site, I am always adding pics, pages, links, videos and am not sure how fluid the Pappashop sites would be for me...I think they are wonderfully designed, i always send customers there who ask me about building their own site, because frankly most folks don't wanna learn HTML or Dreamweaver or Homesite just to build a simple site...but I don't wanna be dependent on anyone (or bother anyone) in order to post all the silliness that I do...for most folks who simply post beads, that's great...still, overhauling this site is a bit daunting and I know I'm gonna have to shave it back and streamline it...
Now that the Olympics are over, I'm always bummed out...there's something thrilling about watching top athletes compete at the top of their game...still, football starts this Saturday here in Austin and I'm thrilled...I LOVE football season...the Longhorns play here in Austin, I don't have tix, but am contemplating paying to see the game on television...I dunno..its not THAT big a game, but I DO enjoy watching them...and there are only so many games in a season, so why not see as many as I can...I don't enjoy seeing them at the stadium, its too hot, too difficult to park, too many drunks...I suppose if I was with a group who had an RV and we did the whole tailgating thing ahead of time, cooking brisket and ribs, visiting with other fans, sitting in the a/c and watching the game I might enjoy it more...I'd rather stay inside in the cool house and cheer from the comfort of my own sofa...
the dog is chasing the neighbor's lawnmower...she's not had a chance to do that much this year, with the lack of water, there hasn't been much grass growing around us...she doesn't chase the mower when WE mow, she just skitters away from the mean beast that makes so much noise, but on the other side of the fence, it always more exciting and she must run up and down the yard barking and having fun...I appreciate the tolerance of the neighbors cause there's no way she's gonna stop barking, she loves it...once they turn the mower off, she quiets down...its not a ferocious, dangerous bark, its a fun, playful bark...I doubt they can tell the difference when a big black dog is barking at them, tho...
