So I’m 29. Ick. That would, however, explain the grey hair and inability to stay awake past midnight. Sigh. All I have left to look forward to now is flabby underarms and a sagging butt.

Hold on, dog is barking. Be right back.

Sorry about that but today is “work on the roof” day in my neighborhood. I guess I missed that memo. The house behind mine is getting a new roof so they are up there ripping off the old shingles and my next door neighbor is having her chimney repaired to they’re out there spraying sealant and other good stuff. Poor Artie is totally freaked out. Seeing people walking around on the roof drives him batty. Guess it just doesn’t look natural to him. So this morning, when they climbed up there at 8:30 and started ripping away, he went into super bark mode and hasn’t quite calmed down yet.

But I had a wonderful birthday. I am now the proud owner of a flat screen monitor, ice cream makers, and stepping stone kit. Oh yes, Beanie sent me the cutest koi lantern. I think it’s suppose to be hung but I like it better nestled next to the pond. I snapped a pic for your viewing pleasure and yes, that’s the dumb dog drinking the stagnant pond water. Makes picking up the poop oh so pleasurable. Grrrrr.

This day is just flying by. Already 1pm and I haven’t even managed to get out of my PJ’s yet. But hey, it’s Monday and Mondays are always tough. I figure, tomorrow, I should be dressed by at least 11am. I know, I’m pushing it, but I’m just a livin’-on-the-edge type girl.

Don’t work too hard!
