Blogs and fairs....

Fashion! Remodeling! Artistry! Mad skills!! All the lovely blogs of note that I have been reading boast of such interesting subjects and have such lovely sketches or photos to accompany the postings, it makes my little blog seem rather unimpressive! I really have no purpose for blogging, although I wish I did. And quite honestly…I have a life! I rarely have time or energy or motivation to sit down and check my email, let alone blog! I haven’t spent any time writing or drawing or photographing anything lately either. It’s not that my life isn’t exciting, because it is! I guess blogging just isn’t high in my priorities…
Well anyhow, this week is my week of county fairs. I went to 2 fairs so far and I have 2 more to go to. Unfortunately the fair yesterday left me with a rather upset tummy and a family feud. The tummy trouble I think I can accredit to the delicious chopped pork sandwich, coffee, and shaved ice… somewhere in that mix something disagreed with me! The family feud was somewhat settled, but I’m afraid there are some people still upset with me. You see, I believe that men should be respectful of women. I don’t care if they want to share vulgar jokes with their buddies, but when a girl is around…not so much! I can only put up with so much of that! And when a girl asks a guy to stop talking about an offensive subject… well boys, please just stop. Anyhow, our last hours at the fair were tense ones. And I didn’t get an elephant ear. Or a ride on the Farris wheel. Depressing… but I still have a chance!

black dress?

Good news ladies!! I think I found the perfect little black dress! It is truly a miracle! I’m actually not sure how much I like it yet, but my boyfriend liked it, a LOT, and normally he doesn’t have an opinion about clothes. I’m not sure how I feel about that either. But at any rate, the dress fits, it looks good, and its cute and its comfy! What more can a girl ask for?

In other news, I spent too much time working outside in the sunshine today with too little water and earned myself a splitting headache and light headedness. So I’ve been sitting in AC drinking ice water every since I got off work.

Don’t have much to say today…just felt like writing…. I rather like writing. I think I’m going to shop for cars online. Or dresses. Or high heels! Or maybe I’ll go watch a movie…. I’m not indecisive at ALL am I….

I have a problem. It’s called life. Well it’s not actually a problem, but since the last time I posted I have gotten a job and a boyfriend and had my 21^st birthday and only ridden horses ONCE (SAD DAY!!!) and my sister has moved from NC to CA and the average daily temperature has gone from 50 to 90. Oh, and my other sister graduated high school, and I went from 40hrs a week at my “new” job to 15, so now I am looking for a second job. And you know how I hate job hunting… ugh. But all of that to say- I got so busy I forgot about YOU!

On the other hand, I havent forgotten my garden, and it is looking amazing….except for one thing. Darn raccoons. They insist on ravaging every single plant in the garden at LEAST once a week! Yesterday I walked back to check it and seventeen plants had been dug up. So like the faithful gardener I am, I re-planted and watered them so that the little pests could dig up four more today. I go through this at least once a week, it is getting on my last nerve! My lovely ferns and impatients and blue star creepers and ivy and columbines are not having an easy time of it this year. Neither is the lone gnome statue…he gets drug from one end of the garden to the other every night. On the bright side, my hanging baskets are doing lovely!

I watched the movie Julie and Julia today, and it inspired me to do two things- return to my blog and cook! Alas, my mother has taken over the kitchen with her applesauce making (yes, I still live at home….hopefully not for long!) so I cant cook. So I am blogging instead. Not that anyone particularly cares that I blog, but I enjoy writing, so I’ll blog if I darn well want to! I’ll probably eat something instead of cooking something. I enjoy doing that too J probably too much…but then who DOESN’T enjoy food?

Well, I’m off to call the boy and pester him out of his mind…. Lord bless him, he’s so patient with my chatter!
