I am completely looking forward to seeing this movie...maybe not everyone likes Will Ferrell and I get that, but don't rain on my parade. Check it out.

I'm just going to say this post is a bit scattered. Fair enough warning. Have you ever heard that doing everyday routines backwards or maybe using your left hand instead can challenge you and make you use the other side of your brain? Anybody? Like for instance, maybe instead of brushing your teeth with your right hand, use the left one. Tried it and its not easy. Or maybe instead of tying your shoe and holding the loop w/ your right and wrapping the string w/ your left, just switch it. Again tricky. Well yesterday as I was eating supper, I thought of a new one and it was much much easier. Instead of eating my sweet corn from left to right, how about right to left? Maybe? Anyways I also realized tonight how stupid it is to put movie previews on movies that are already out. If you rented the movie or bought it, chances are you don't care about any other movie because chances are that movie is already out or sucks because they didnt spend enough money to put the previews on the big screen. Why not satisfy everyone and just save the previews for the big screen?
So I think today is as good of day as any to share with you some of the sites from work this summer...most of them have been within the last 4 days, but not all.
Some punk kids rolled a trash barrel down the terraces...it makes you wonder why?
Mowing around a lake/wetland/wooded area more or less means you will deal with deer and or horse flies...lucky we have Sam. He's killed 21 in an hour w/ nothing but quick hands haha.
If I'm not mowing I am getting the fields ready for the baseball/softball games. And I sort of have a love hate relationship w/thunderstorms. I always love watching/listening to them and hope for them while I am at work, but at the same time it makes getting the fields ready no fun at all.
If it's not flies and snakes, it's spiders. This guy I spotted as I was paying my water bill yesterday. Not what I needed at a time like that.
Sam was trying to get me back by throwing a tennis ball at my deck so that I would run over it. Well let's just say I didn't run over it and as he was looking to see if I did he ran straight into the tree.
And this picture is Sam holding the fish he caught after he went all MacGyver on us. He caught it w/ only his two hands, a paper clip and a gum wrapper. Ok not really, it was already dead on the shore...but he was easily talked into picking it up for a picture and I thank him for that.
So as you can see we find ways of entertaining ourselves at work. Enough said.
Imperfection

Sooooo this is by no mean a perfectly painted flower, with tons of things that still need to be done and changed, some i know how to do and some i have no clue how to do. But i like to think for my 3rd painting w/o any instructions it is worthy of my 3rd post for the summer....scratch that, 4th post of the summer. Maybe tmrw I can work on it some more...one things for sure, it definitely looks better far away haha.
Prove Me Wrong
After bashing my Indians in the last post, what do they do? They go and win 4 straight...has to be close to the longest winning streak this season. Maybe? Anyways, the tribe is still 13.5 back and are off until next Friday. I say go ahead and prove me wrong, show me that there is a little fight left within the team...I still am not convinced.
Summer List
>> Saturday, July 12, 2008
Currently it is 4:20 in the morning and I can't really seem to sleep. Is it because I am so eager for my day tomorrow? I don't think that's it. Although I can't lie, getting to see the g/f is always a plus. Is it the roids i'm on to rid me of my poison ivy? Possibly. Really I just think its the insane amount of itching I have all over my legs. Honestly, who knew poison ivy would last over a week w/o any improvements really? No matter. I did get to watch the ending of American Wedding. Laying here thinking about what to write, I realized that in my head I had a few things that I wanted to accomplish this summer and haven't fulfilled many of them.
1. Read 3 books. (1 read)
2. Do more artwork. (recently started watercolor)
3. Go to Chicago.
4. See an Indians game.
5. Run/bike 4 days a week. (mainly so my roomate doesn't give me crap when we go back to school)
6. Go to a new state park.
I know there are more, but none are coming to mind. Basically from the list I have only 2 things done, I am going to a cubs game on Aug. 2 which takes care of item #3 and the painting is taking care of item #2. Now if I could only do more of it.
Lastly, this is a throw back to my 2nd blog...at the end I stated that I felt this might finally be the year for the indians. Well....I could have been wrong. Maybe. Who knew nobody on the team could hit the ball, half the team it seems would be injured or they would trade C.C. Sabathia midway through the season? I've replaced my optimism w/ realism and so w/ that there is always next year.
Good Night.
Happy Summer!

45. 28. 0. 1082. 1. 45 days since my last blog, 28 posts from my g/f & sister since my last post, 0 is hopefully the number of cavities i have at my dentist appt. tomorrow, 1082 is the number of views my blog has and 1 is for tomorrow being the first time I will have had home made icecream all summer:) I finally had the epiphany, that single moment that caused me to want to blog again. It was a single comment, just a phrase I overheard while eating w/ the family last night. And I quote, "I killed my first japanese beetle today." (serious face). And so w/ that I say thank you Uncle Larry for caring so much about your gardening and making me laugh at something you take great pride in, capturing all those beetles. Looking back at our family trip to Beech Mtn., watching and helping you kill those japanese beetles on that blueberry bush is definitely a top 3 moment of that trip. Thanks.
