gray skies

Gray skies. The sun is hiding this morning. I think the rain is going to try and move in today. I haven't looked at the radar yet, but the lack of sunshine seems to indicate a wet start to the morning.

In other gray sky news, had a text from my boss. He over did it yesterday and had to take a sleeping pill.....at 3:00 a.m. this morning. Sort of doubting he will be in today, and we have a ton of things to do. UGH. But, severely sprained, ligament/tendon damaged ankle/foot trumps the National Meeting.

If it rains during my lunch break, I guess I will head over to Target to pick up a few things. I have walked the last two days. It has been hot, but not horrible. Always makes me feel better to get out of the office and away from the desk and computer.

Off to take a few steps.

soccer

So, in case you didn't know, the FIFA women's world cup is happening right now up in Canada. The US played Australia last night and came away with a 3-1 win. They got off to a shaky start. If you ask my girls, they looked like sh!t for the first 20 minutes. Thank goodness Solo was in the goal and was able to make two awesome saves. Whatever her personal issues, she is the best female goalie in the world. With goals from Rapinoe and Press, we clinched it.

I love watching these matches. I love watching them with my girls. So much fun. On to the next match. Up next, Sweden. Bittersweet that one, as their coach was coached our team.

Good to have the beautiful game on the telly this month.

hello summer

Well, hello summer. Opened the door to let Duke out to fetch the paper and was greeted with a blast of hot, moist, thick air.

Summer has arrived.

Morning walks are just not quite as refreshing when the humidity is sauna-esque. But, walk we must.
Off we go!

program fun

Today we will be editing and formatting the content for the preliminary program. Lovely. It will make the day fly. It will give me a chance to pick out some sessions to highlight in the September issue of the magazine. It will not be that bad.

Really.

Only 57 pages. Only 57 pages. Only 57 pages.

LOL

yikes

I started working on National Meeting materials yesterday. Yikes. The meeting is in November. Yes, it is that time. This will be the first year I take the lead on these projects and it is a bit intimidating. But, it will all get accomplished and things will be just fine.

We've arranged for the boy to come home for a visit/weekend. Opting out of the Nashville trip, he'd rather spend some time at home. Sounds good to me. So, hubby will drive down and get him on a Friday afternoon and then we will take him back on Sunday. After that weekend, he will only have two weeks to go until the session wraps up. It will be interesting to hear his stories and to see what grades he earns in those two classes.

In other news, it is a crisp 61 outside this morning. Hope that means we will see the sun today as the cloud layer has moved out and some clear skies have moved in.

Off we go! Hump Day!

runny babbit

A few days ago, I let Duke out to fetch the paper like we do every morning. Except this time, a very fluffy rabbit was sitting across the road on the sidewalk. Said rabbit was frozen in place hoping to avoid being seen. Duke sensed the rabbit, but couldn't quite see him in the shadows. It is still a bit dark at 5:00 a.m. Today the cheeky rabbit was in our drive way as I opened the door. It darted across the road as we left the house. Thank goodness Duke was more intent on watering the bushes and didn't see him/her. So, no chasing after the dog chasing after the rabbit.

Yet.

Odds are the rabbit would make a fine escape as a young bunny is much quicker than an 11 year old hound.

I know they are both quicker than a 50 year old. LOL

the struggle is real

Back to blogging. Back to walking. The struggle is very real this morning. After a lovely weekend, Monday has arrived. No rain at the moment. Yeah! Although my plants are loving it.

The boy is doing well, according to what he is telling us, in his two classes. He called yesterday to talk to wish his Dad a happy birthday. Good Stuff. He had just been to mass and was on his way to lunch with the group. I guess laundry was also in his future.

We went up the road to a friend's house for a party/cookout. Their oldest was in town from back east. Had fun catching up with the couple who coached the girls way back when.

In other news, we went to see the new Mad Max movie on Saturday. Wow. Lots of action. Edge of your seat stuff. Then we went to an Italian restaurant we'd not tried before. Delicious. Think the leftovers are in my future for lunch today.

Okay, that's it. Time to get to walking.
