FRIDAY THE 13TH
The agile monkey (my husband) has swung from his handyman branch to his hunting branch and is presently perched high atop a tree stand as I type this entry. He will be there until nightfall, and he will return again to his redneck perch at 5 a.m. tomorrow. Never mind I had a work deadline to meet this evening. Soccer practice to get one cowboy to. Three soccer games in the morning. Three soccer photos in the morning. And a wedding present to shop for and wrap. I guess I'll be up at 5 a.m. as well, simply to run the household, while his agile-monkeyness looks for viscious deer to slay. But am I bitter? Heck no.
At least I can say I had a fulfilling day chaperoning the third grade to Colonial Farm, a working tobacco farm in southern Maryland. The kids learned all about how to grow and dry their own tobacco! I can't wait to put those little tobacco seedlings in the ground come springtime! Truth be told, it was a fascinating trip, and I even received a round of applause and cheering on the bus ride home when I bravely picked up (yuck) a daddy long-legs spider who apparently wanted to make a break from the farm. I picked him up by one of his lengthy legs and tossed him out of the bus window onto 495. The children were so impressed!
I am waiting for more reunion photos before I post the details about that event. Suffice to say it was really very fun. Everyone looked better than I had secretly hoped they would. But other than that, it was all very good. As I've told several friends, I'm enjoying the fact that it is now over and I can let my teeth return to their normal shade of tan and also let all my facial hair grow back in.
Have a great weekend and enjoy those crisp fall temperatures!

I love you. You are a wondeful friend.
Is Miss Kitty afraid that Irene will go into too much detail about the reunion??? Is that what this love fest is all about???
no, just nostalgic. and grateful i have incredible friends.
Miss Kitty (Romy) and Irene (Michelle) are fearful that everyone will discover that they DID NOT invent post-its and those were not their Jaguar's parked out front.
Mia culpa, mia culpa.
Mea culpa, mea cupla.
