it's 81º inside this house.

today we got up and had something to eat. then my old man went to work out and i went for a run. the run was somewhat of a disaster - it was okay at the beginning but i ran out of gas. going to have to figure that out. anyway, got home and my clothes were literally dripping with sweat and humidity (possible running out of gas contributing factor). so i dumped all it into the warsher-chine and took a shower. ahh! oh, wait - first i dranked my protein like a good girl, THEN i showered.

while my old man mowed the lawns (ours and the next door's) before the rains came, i balanced the checkbook and answered a couple emails and i sort of took a nap but didn't really fall asleep. after he got done and the rain started, we went to loretta lynn's to work on the phone lines which have been wack since the big rains came a couple weeks ago. we did that about 3 hours and could not get it all working. the jack in the back room is still dead and the caller i-d that is supposed to work thru the satellite receiver isn't working but the satellite tech support said it's probably the modem in the receiver and they're sending another unit. managed to get the computer back online by moving the modem & router to another line (thanks to elvis for the help getting that all back up).

we were going to eat with all the folks but ended up just us at panera. woowoo panera! they are running this special where you can get a pastry for 99¢ when you get a meal + drink, so we did that and then the girl was completing my transaction with my my-panera card, she said i was due another pastry, free. so we got a cimmanon roll and a blueberry muffin and some kind of apple cimmanon muffin that is all puffy - looks like it sploded. we ate our sammiches and went to the mall to get some of this spray you can get at the "lids" hat store that when you spray it on your hat before you sweat in your hat it keeps your hat from smelling sweaty or getting stained. cool, huh? we stopped by jc penney to look at the lawn furniture and might have found a good choice. we will shop further online.

after that we went to best buy and got me a new boombox for the kitchen. woowoo! i purchased it with birthday money plus the best buy rewards certificate that we got from the computer purchases at christmas. it's got a place to plug in the ipod and it's got radio with preset buttons and it's got a cute little handle to carry it out to the deck when i want music outside. i asked the guy at the store, does it have radio? and he just pulled up the antenna that was already halfway up. ppfahahaha! go ace!

after best buy we went to old navy and got some shirts and shorts because we wanted them. we stopped quickly at the dollar store and got kleenex, propel, and coke zero. i suspect my old man engineered the dollar store trip to be less than 5 mins before they closed because he knows i could stay in that place a loooong time. next we went to the wine store for a couple bottles of... wine. finally we came home and made some coffee and had the sploded pastry with coffee. mmmm!

and, that's all so far. now you are current on the haps!
