Saturday was a special day, and so I thought I’d try to capture some of it with the camera phone. It was a unique day in that I had most of the day all to myself. Jeremy went to see his momma with the kiddos!

I drank an entire cup of coffee quietly while I read up on some blogs.

I conquered some homework in Psychology. Speaking of that, what is the psychology behind a fly’s need to be an exhibitionist? I am sitting at my computer, reading about neurotransmitter pathways when a couple of flies land on my keyboard and start humping each other like I’m not even there. How rude.

No, I’m not going to show a picture of the flies humping. This is a family blog. Pervs. Actually I guess I’m the perv for even trying to take a picture of it.

I decided to start getting moving because I had a lunch date at noon with my buddy Kim. Here’s me with that morning glow. Ok, maybe it’s not a morning glow. It’s the stoopid camera flash. Whatever.

Here’s me with a bit of work. I clean up alright sometimes.

I headed to lunch with Kim, who happens to be one of the coolest momma friends I have. We went to a super nice restaurant and I took a picture of my meal but it didn’t save for some reason. We went window shopping downtown and browsed around an antique mall (one of my favorite things to do on a Saturday). Then we headed back to her house and I jumped in my car for some afternoon errand running.

I went to Alltel to buy Austin a new cell phone, because I’m cool like that. I bought him a fancy camera phone with unlimited texting. While I waited in line, I noticed an old boss of mine buying his wife a new cell phone. I took a picture of him so that I could share with you a quick story about this doofus. I was the Recreation Director at his Nursing Home facility about 4 years ago. I often tied my hair in a bun because I had to play cricket with the residents outside and I was so miserable with my hair down in that heat. He came to me one day and told me that I needed to fix my hair nicely because my “sloppiness” was a reflection on him. I can tell you that I rarely look “sloppy” and certainly not at work, so I was so insulted that I quit my job right then and there. I wish I would have put more thought into it because I would have loved to have closure with all of the fantastic people I worked with. But. You know, it’s a pride thing. And it didn’t pay well, so it was easy to replace. Anyways, this Jackass and his wife were with the Rep right next to my Rep’s desk and they were whispering to one another about me with me RIGHT THERE! What’s the psychology there? 

Stupid old man and his snobby botoxed wife. I can fix my hair, but there’s nothing that old man can do about his meanness (or that ugly shirt).

The day ended well. My mother-in-law sent me a beautiful plant home with Jeremy and the plant is so grand and amazing that I’m going to have to make a special place for it.

We spent the last part of the day at a BBQ at my friend Randy’s house. My normally disappearing deviled eggs were not a hit. What’s the psychology behind that?

It was a wonderful Saturday and I felt a bit renewed having a few hours to myself. Next weekend, Poppa Bear gets to leave for a few hours for some “guy time.”

I thought it might be fun to start sharing something silly and random at the bottom of some of my posts about something fun one of the kids said/did.

We were outside this morning, enjoying the sun. Bella was using the water hose to water the flowers. She started using the hose on her baby brother, who wasn’t amused. Obviously. I told her to stop or I’d take the hose away. She said in her sassy little way, “Mommy! You are always so mean to me. Always.” It made me laugh and sort of sad all at the same time. What am I going to do when this child is 15? Tell me! Huh?
