Ten Thought Tuesday...

I wish it to be warm enough that I actually want an ice cream cone.

Happy Tuesday!

The above thought accounts for thought #1. hehehe

2.
I am going through withdrawal from NOT being able to upload my pictures. (I wonder if there would be a 12~Step Program for that)?

3.
This morning I fought with an almost brand new candle to make it work.
Why do candles not work after you burn them for a few hours?
Try to relight them and they burn for a few minutes and choke themselves out?

4.
Punk is still pooped from being outside nearly all day yesterday. She is dreaming on the floor closeby; her legs twitching and her nose going 100mph. There is also much REM going on.

5.

I need more of that same REM.

6.
The weather still sucks. It promises to be suckier this weekend.

7.
I am SO done driving in crappy weather.
But either Canada (or Mother Nature) doesn't agree with me.
When we get to Minneapolis there will be snow/flurries etc on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday next week.
(The bunny is gonna freeze to death)!

By Robert Frost: (So what if the content is posted a day early)?!?
"The sun was warm but the wind was chill.

You know how it is with an April Day

When the sun is out and the wind is still,

You're one month on in the middle of May.

But if you so much as dare to speak,

A cloud comes over the sunlit arch,

A wind comes off the frozen peak,

And you're two months back in the middle of March."

-From Two Tramps in Mud Time (1936)

I am much like that lady in the email that sets out to do one thing, accomplishes little, and never does do what she originally set out to do. Wish I had that email somewhere to share too. Sorry. (It must be in my junk room).
I truly have been working on trying to get my junk room clean. I carried some things to the kitchen, some to the living room, some got filed (really), some went out to the little dumpster. And some had to be brought out for the sale I will be opening up again.
To do this I had to get the attached garage a bit cleared. As an end to the means there, I had to bring some things out to the old shed.

Therefore I have found that if I close three doors I am quite happy, (and more than a bit smug).

AAADD  
KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.
Somehow I feel better, even though I have it!!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. -
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table,
put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,
and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back
on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think,
since I'm going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table,
and see that there is only one check left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study,
so I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the can of soda I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks,
but first I need to push the soda aside
so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The soda is getting warm,
and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the soda,
a vase of flowers on the counter
catches my eye - they need water.

I put the soda on the counter and
discover my reading glasses that
I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk,
but first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter,
fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we watch TV,
I'll be looking for the remote,
but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,
so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,
but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers,
but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table,
get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to
remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:
the car isn't washed
the bills aren't paid
there is a warm can of soda sitting on the counter
the flowers don't have enough water ,
there is still only 1 check in my check book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses,
and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day,
and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem,
and I'll try to get some help for it,
but first I'll check my e-mail....

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!

Since it's the end of March I should comment on The Lion and the Lamb
(Never mind, I already did that in #'s 1, 6, 7, and 8).

Stuck now... hehehe

10.   LAST, BUT NOT LEAST

Casey was out yesterday, and was doing pretty good! (I do love her good days). She made us fish for lunch, and baked potatoes too. Very yummy!

I'd better close-

Hope all is well with everyone and that you (and your computer) are both ready for tomorrows potential 'worm'.

• It is called "conficker"

• Odd that if you rearrange the letters, you get "efin crock"...

I find that hysterical...

Love to all.

XOXO
Me

PS
Now, can anyone rearrange "Don't eat any nuts" for me?
