My scratches are healing nicely, thank you and my bruises have reached that lovely shade of puke yellowish-green. My muscles aren't screaming in protest at me any longer, just sort of moaning in a defeatist groan. The sunburn is itching like crazy though.
My mother, in all her infinite wisdom, told me "Well if you'd get outside and do things then you wouldn't burn to a crisp and you wouldn't hurt so bad."
This from a woman who is big into what our family has deemed "Let's" projects. As in she says to my Dad, "Honey, let's ....." and then completely abandons ship once the project has started. And let me tell you folks, she doesn't pick the little projects to do. Nope, she goes for the rock hauling, tree truck digging, cement mixing type projects.
The reason she abandons the projects isn't because she's lazy. It's because she's bossy and picky. She gets pissed off whenever someone comes up with a different (read: more practical) way of doing something she's trying to accomplish.
"Umm Mom, wouldn't it be easier to move that pea gravel using a wheel-barrow instead of bucket by bucket-load?"
"FINE! Since I don't know anything about my own project I'll just go inside."
Yeah, an extreme example, but you get the drift.

So um .. let's see .. what else .. OH! Pet peeve of the moment: People who don't realize that one, and very rarely two, marks of punctuation will suffice. If you are putting seven !'s after every sentence, how the heck am I supposed to know which sentences are the very important and exclamatory ones?
Trust me, multiple !'s aren't anywhere near as good as multiple O's. ~cheesy grin~

So anyway, now that the tree is down and the yard is looking better I'll have more time to make entries and I can also get back to doing my tags and graphics, which I have sorely missed. I've managed to collect some great graphics and I'm chomping on the bits to get some play time with them.
Since summer vacation is fast approaching I'm going to have to get busy working up the adult graphics, as it's hard to do anything with them when Gomez and Kimo are running in and out constantly.
"Mom!? What is that man doing to that woman? And what IS that angel doing to that demon?"
Errrr .... nah, don't want to answer those questions anytime soon. So I'll have to stick with PG rated stuff when they are around.

Answering Spam emails - We all get spam, it's the price you seem to pay these days for having an email address. I always skim the subject lines of emails to pick out the "real" email that needs my attention. I realized the other day that in my mind I was glibbly answering the spam subject lines.
Hmm - side note here but it seems like I do an awful lot of conversing inside my head. Should I worry?
Anyway, here's some of the subject lines and my answers to them:

Forget the tree falling in the forest question. If a tree falls in bisa's yard the next sound you'll hear is a dial tone from her picking up the phone to call some freakin professionals!!
