Yesterday was almost miserably hot.  It was 92 outside and 90 in the store.  It is a mystery to me how it could be so cold (snowing 3 weeks ago) and nothing in between even though we warmed up a bit after the snow.  Today started out really warm but the temperature started dropping this afternoon as the marine air started coming in.  It’s still beautiful out tho.

Even though I had no sleep and baked all day, we still went on our date.  It’s kind of hard to miss that.  Hubby wanted to take the Jeep so picture this.  I actually wore a skirt to work yesterday and getting into the Jeep was not a pretty sight. haha  We had the top down and it was really quite a pleasant drive.  We ate dinner at Red Robin, split a hamburger and ate outside. Peaceful. 

Since I was so tired, I didn’t have the energy to do anything so we headed to B&N.  I found this beautiful magazine called Artful Blogging.  I decided to bring it home and so I bought the little imp a book on Prince Caspian, too,  since he was going on a date with big brother and girlfriend tonight to see it.  They have a tradition.  (we’ve heard all week how many days and knew that yesterday it came out but that he’d see it today.)

Anyway, he woke up at 6:45 and was on his bed talking to himself about Prince Caspian so I got up and told him to go get his book and sit on his bed and read that until everyone else had to get up.  We’d gotten woken up twice last night by the Jeep alarm blasting.  Sometimes if a car drives by too close it goes off.  That was at 2:45.  I realized that I was awake for good so I got up and took my Bible out onto the porch to read awhile, then I brought my laptop out.  I looked up the magazine I brought home and was shocked (!!!) to realize I had paid $14.99 for it.  Don’t ask me how I could go purchase it, sign the slip, and not ever know how much it cost?  I guess I really was tired. Oh well, I will probably not buy another but I have a lot of good reading to do.  Mostly it reinforces what I’ve been thinking about how blogging really does change your life and what I read was good.

I didn’t last long last night, we headed home early.  It was the perfect time to be driving towards the coast.  The little bits of wispy clouds were so pretty with the setting sun turning them kind of a cantaloupe color.  The air was so fresh and sweet. I love the smell of pine needles on a warm day.  I felt so at peace and full of gratitude.  I was able to pray about my frustrations I’ve been feeling and felt so positive about knowing all is well.  I really have been feeling such love from so many people and that helps, too.  Thanks for the emails and comments, it means more than I can really say.

I knew today would be really quiet at the shop, our first really nice Saturday in a long time and shopping don’t really mix.  I did have some fun people in today, though.  One was a friend of a friend and we had a great visit.  I had one friend come knit with me and I had another friend bring her granddaughter in so I could french braid her hair.  I used to do her mama’s hair when she was the same age.  Now that feels weird.  Regretfully, I couldn’t find my camera because I wanted to take a picture of her mostly because I didn’t have a mirror so she could see the back of her hair.  When I got home, hubby said he saw me put it in my purse last night and it was indeed in my purse.  oh well.

I made a little progress on my Francie sock.  I started the heel this afternoon.

I guess it isn’t visibly much farther than the last time I showed it, but it is longer and I had the heel out of view….too late to go take another picture tonight.

I left the shop for a bit this morning and bought myself a portable external hard drive for my laptop.  I have got to try to clean this off a little bit, it is so slow and I have way too much stuff on it.  I cleared off 2,700,000 kb just getting rid of some mp3s and pictures.  I plan to get the rest off here after I am sure the drive is working.  I do hope that helps some.  It was on clearance and I had a coupon so it was a really good deal!

The little imp went to spend some of the day with the mama-to-be.  They sat in her new pool for awhile….she bought a kiddy pool last night because heat and pregnancy wears a body out.  She said she went inside and when she came out, he was sitting in her willow tree.  A few minutes later she couldn’t see him but she could hear him.  She hollered for him and he said he was “right here”.  She looked up and he was quite a way up the tree!  She asked how he planned to get down and he got a little nervous.  I said, “I bet you didn’t feel much like climbing up there, did you?”  since her hubby was not home.  She said no, she didn’t feel much like trying to catch him either.  She talked him down but it’s funny how doing things in reverse was a lot harder.  When she started telling me about it, I did ask if his feet were on the ground before I heard the story.

I can only laugh.  If I had been there I’d have probably made him fall out of the tree when I started freaking out.

I’ll probably post my next installment of my 100 things tomorrow.  I just read my first to hubby.

Have a great weekend!
