Random Bits Of Jumbled Blond


Life continues to fly forward at an alarming speed for me. I dug out my calender yesterday evening in an attempt to figure out how to fit a couple more things into my last three weeks at home... I'm afraid it was a fruitless effort. There is only so much one person can do!
  The lady I was cleaning for yesterday decided that I need to go to college ("you seem like a such a bright young lady!"), sorry lady, but I don't see that happening for a year or two!
 Today I'm off to Hayward with DJ and Gin to go to Wilderness Walk. A long ago promised, and much looked forward to, outing. I hope they enjoy it.
 I've been pondering my lack of a camera lately and I'm thinking about shuffling my pennies around to see if I can get one before I leave for Thailand. We shall see what happens. It's days like today that I discover how much I miss having one. When Lisl and Jenny were my age they got one for Christmas. A brand new digital camera. We have a video clip of them playing with it "look! it has ZOOM!!!". Oh the wonder of it. :) But, both Christmas and my birthday are evading me at the moment so I think I shall have to get one myself. :) (I wont mention the fact that my Grandmother who is 86 was horrified at the fact that I didn't own one!).

  >Afternoon<
I'm diligently trying to remember everything everyone has told me about what to bring back/take over with me... It's starting to get rather confusing. Someone wants  WHITE SHIRTS, someone else wants me to bring back BLACK hair clips. Also there is the wish for "unusual fabric" and then, "the normal kind of sunflower seeds". See what I mean? Confusing! Everything is coming and going in couples and fews though so that helps, no seven of this and sixteen of thating.
 My brain is too full and I've started to do random blond things the last few days.
Yesterday I was driving through town on the way to work and I missed my road, so I pulled into an "abandoned bank" and was just about to pull through the "drive through" when I discovered that it looked pretty low... hm... must be the front porch to a church. Now should I, or should I not, wave to the people on the other side of the building as I pull out!!!??? (I backed out and went around btw).
 Today I nearly took DJ and Gin through the zoo backwards, and I got Dr. Pepper instead of Mt. Dew... this is something I NEVER do! (I did however, manage to catch DJ before he fell over the bridge and into the river, and before he killed the loose rooster, or carried the goat off, or tried speaking animal to loudly, or walked into the bathroom to find "the animal that's in that cage" (the "Bathroom" sign was up out of his line of vision.)!!!!!!)
 Gwyn asked me this afternoon when I was telling about my driving problems yesterday. "Why is it that people with darker hair sometimes to blonder things than people with blond hair?". That's a disturbing thought.
 So there is my rather jumbled life, perhaps now you know why I do the blond and disturbing things that I do right now!
