I'm a hermit and it's ok...I think

Been playing with my pups and cats, watering my now 5 foot high garden plants, pushing paperwork, making road trips to Tally, scouting for furniture for the new apt., attending social functions and maintaining a home...inside and out....but all I really want to do is veg......read "The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet"...and would really like to read another book by this Author...but he hasn't written one......

Alrighty....I've decided I am a hermit in my old age....I stay at home...and I like it...I go out and then I think I need to stay home and recover....what? Really? Yep.

I am afraid I will be one of those women who wear a "house dress"...all day...and not care...like back at the "unit"...everyone there wore their "house dresses" to the mail box and to water their plants. While I don't wear a dress...I do love my jammies....just today...Marc came home for lunch at noon...he gave me my usual 10 min heads up so I quickly changed out of the jammies INTO real clothes...when he left....I changed back....working out was not on the agenda today ...because the last 2 days were "big" days...so today I had to rest. Good grief...I read that and think to myself...is this really you? The bad news? I answer, "yes". It is today.

Tonite...I have the man of my dreams asking me, "what do you want to do?" Ok, I can go anywhere...do anything...I know he's thinking..."dinner and a movie"...I'm thinking..."jammies on the couch and a "video on demand" and "chinese takeout"...poor guy...just tries to please me. But...tomorrow and Sunday are going to be "big days" again...and I need to rest. hahahah I laugh as I type that..but it's true. Tomorrow we are going out with a group to celebrate our Pastor and his wife's wedding ann (I think 30 years) and her 50th b-day...at Bonefish...this will be fun.

Sunday nite our Community Group is meeting...16 people at a friends house...this will be fun too...but these are "big days"...you know...requiring hair, makeup, jewelry and clothes...not a house dress or jammies....so tonite, I have to rest.

But then...I look back at what all I have been doing and I guess I really am like the ...what's that "bunny" called...the one with the battery...and it's pink? I dunno...but in the last week I've made 2 round trips to Tally...babysat Grandcats (while Adah was in SC at the lake)

Kippy and Pippa...Pippa had to have antibiotics 2x/day, plus ointment on her "spay spot" that reopened...drops in her ears to get rid of her "ear mites" compliments of the shelter where she "lived"....We were a 4 indoor pet family for a week....all wanting attention...all wantaing to be in the bed...

We went to not 1 but 2 July 4th celebrations...Marc still has the pics on his phone...I've been asking for 4 days to have them...we will see when I get them. One of the celebrations had 400 guests...they had converted a two car garage into a dessert "room"...complete with about 25 cakes, various other desserts, including a chocolate fountain...with any and everything you could want to "dip" into chocolate...that gives you an idea of the rest of the party goodies..you know...3 different food buffets, 2 open bars, dance floor with DJ and oh, don't forget the 30 minutes of fireworks...yeah...that was fun....the next night we had fireworks here in the nay-ba-hood.....that was fun too...set your chair up on the grassy nole, sip a cup of wine and watch the boom fest....more fun too!

My riding mower has a flat...no prob I thought...I'll just use the push mower...took me 3 hours....could've been the broken elbow not pushing like it should or the fact that an acre really does

take 3 hours to cover....pushing.....

FINALLY got allllllllllllllll Whitney's paperwork filled our for "Rush Rec Letters" incl pictures, resume etc., began putting together her RUSH week clothes, etc., etc., etc....trying to spend time with this 18 year old who knows she's off to college in a few weeks is like grasping at air.... :( but we keep trying....

We welcomed "Mason Alexander Fuchs" into the Fuchs Family fold this week. My nephew has had a baby...well, his wife did....they found out they were expecting just one day after his Mother passed last year..this year Mason was born just 4 days after what would've been his parents 29th wedding anniversary and 1 day before his Sister's b-day...he's 2 weeks early... Thank you Jesus for perfect timing.

Yesterday I watched in fun amazement the taping of ABC's Good News Show....I basically watched what Adah does at work...it was so much fun...before the show they are all scurrying around and typing on the computer what is going to be said on the show....with all the clips up and ready...all they need are words...Adah's job.

Then, when we are actually in the room and the show is going on it is fun to watch the Anchor read her lines (that Adrianne wrote) and then go to a commercial and she looks straight at Adah and says, "oooh, that was a good one"... very satisfying as a Mother to see and hear. I want to watch the Good News Show taping every day. I've made it my home page...like I am some how associated with it....dumb!

Well, the Mistah comes home in an hour..these are his new Friday hours...he leaves on time...comes home for lunch then comes home an hour early...love it....never mind that he has an all day meeting tomorrow...but for now...he will be home....less tired.

That's all for now...this hermit has to put clothes back on...The Mistah would NEVER understand that whole scenario......

I just want to be here...on this....resting..hahahahha!
