Q TIME

I really love backyard BBQ's.

I especially love them when everyone comes, hangs out and stays late. 

It is always a great time to sit, drink, eat, drink, chat, drink, chase kids, drink, you get the picture.

Labor Day Lovin'

We were lucky enough to get an invite to the Wagner Beach house for Labor Day! 

I LOVE THE BEACH!!! 

We spent the whole weekend eating junk food, laying around reading, playing Words with Friends (see 'Addiction' post), enjoying the beach, and we even played a friendly game of Pictionary (GIRLS RULE!!).  Thanks for the fun times friends!

Melissa and I deep in thought with Words with Friends.

Love at Margaritaville

Oh, What a feeling...

I purchased  my first book on my ipad.
I was hesitant to participate in this ebook business.
As a new reader ( I used to only read magazines) I love to hold my paper book, turn the dry brownish pages and place my bookmark inside.  I love to see how the space between the cover of my book and the bookmark grows as I get more and more into the story. I love to carry my book around to show the world that, yes, I AM a reader. This makes me feel accomplished and worldly.
But now I have been sucked in to the ebook world.  I can read in the dark, I can make the font so big that I do not need to wear glasses, and it seems to get me through chapters so much faster.  Of course, this leads to me needing to buy more books, but it also leads to me enjoying more books!  So, another shout out to my ipad...I LOVE YOU!

What is that smell...

There has been a weird smell in my car for a couple of weeks now.  I smelt like rotten food or maybe like a Tupperware container that had been rotting away in the sun.  I looked through my car, and removed anything that I thought could be making this aroma.
Finally I decided it just needed to be aired out, so I left the windows open and still there was something brewing. 
Last night I found it!
Several weeks ago I went to he farmers market with a friend.  She purchased some zucchini and when we got home, she could not find them.  We concluded that she must have dropped the bag somewhere along the way.  (Crap...there goes $4). So, she went home and I went on my merry way.
Last night, while I was looking for my lost checkbook,( if you have seen it let me know) I found the missing bag of vegetables.  Hidden deep under the passenger seat was a gooey mash of moldy zucchini. Eureka the smell is gone! (Still missing the checkbook :<)
It never occurred to me to look for food under the seats, because 1. I always put my lunch in the front seat in a bag, so it would it very difficult for anything to make it under the seat and 2. Because I did not buy the vegetables and I quickly forgot that they were missing and could possible have been the culprit.

So, although this is gross, I assure you my car is now somewhat sanitary.
