the kids are having friends over to play. hopefully they will entertain themselves out in the blow-up pool and let me soak up some sun.

@Life, i got the HTC Wildfire. Not too fancy, but it's what I could afford. I'm a bit ADD, and I hate taking the time to learn new technology. I just want someone to show me how to do it, and then I'll know.

Des, I have a term i made up for kids who come over and occupy your kids so they don't bother you: "bug repellant." My daughter's bff's mom will even call up and ask to "borrow some bug repellant" (my daughter) so she can get some stuff done around the house.

Now that's some funny stuff there awesome!

Like the bug repellant! As for the HTC wildfire, I am clueless! That is one that I haven't had any personal experience with. I am hoping somebody will come along and get you a tutorial. I will warn though, depending on your carrier, becareful with your internet usage, I have know far too many people who have gone over their plans and have had huge bills because of it.

Thanks. I try.
It's funny, before I had kid #2, people with more than one would say, "oh, your life must be so easy - you only have one child." But actually, let me tell you, having ONE 3 or 4 year-old child is NOT easy at all because it means Mommy is THE playmate, ALL the time. It's exhausting.

I really don't care for people who assume stupid bs. Especially when it comes to me.

recon------------what did people assume?

awesome-------------yeah, the girls are all up playing. unfortunately, my son has no urge to go play barbies with them. So he is still nagging me. We were only outside for about an hour. i was hoping for longer. But my son is settling in for some video games, so i think i will get some laundry and dishes done and maybe lift some weights and do some crunches.

Oh on my dream thread, someone assumed it was Backstreet Boys that caused my dream about cats attacking me, when in fact I've never had that kind of dream before while falling asleep to them. They just said stop listening to them. If I wanted really screw up dreams I'd have played Children of Bodom.

See I fall asleep to Britney,BSB or NSYNC and I don't normally have these types of dreams, it's just on occasion. So to assume I am having a messed up dream just because of who I fall asleep to is ridiculous. I don't even think they know Backstreet Boys' music.

i finished my table.
if anybody wants to see it, it's in my photos.

You did a good job on the table reveal. Looking good.

The table looks great, you did a wonderful job.

i am off to lift some weights and do some crunches.

I got in a rescue Quaker Parrot today. It was found in a parking lot a week ago, so far no luck in finding the owner so unless his owner shows up, I'll be keeping him. I haven't had a parrot since my last one Dillon (blue front amazon) passed away a few years ago.

:) Makes me think of that movie, "Rio!"...lol

Thank you, leather, for looking after our fine feathered friends. I have parrots and they are so spoiled. I know this little fellow is very fortunate that you have taken him under your wing. Quakers are illegal here in ky, so i don't have any experience with them personally. They are very fun, loving, playful little birds tho from what i've heard. Thank you again for rescuing him and giving us a picture of him. Thank you for being such a friend to me when i desperately needed one. You are an awesome lady, leather. Thank you.
