Nothingness

Looks like it's fixin' ta storm. That's my Kansas family rubbing off- "fixin' ta"! I love the sound of thunder. It's one of my all time favorite sounds, followed by the smell and sound of a good rain. What a great day!

Just got back from a weekend in Phoenix. I am not exaggerating when I say that place feels like hell! They had record highs this weekend. We survived by drinking vodka lemonades while sitting on a ledge in the pool. It was pretty nice, but I can not imagine why anyone would want to live there. Come on people, there are tons of better places!

Today is a recoup day. I am doing my best to lay around and ignore my children. I am reading The Pillars of the Earth for the second time. I read it 19 years ago when it first came out. It was one of the first books of my semi-adult life that I really loved. I still love it the second time through. If you haven't read it yet, you're missing out.

The dog is good. Today is 6 weeks post-op. We're supposed to be getting xrays to make sure he is completely healed but please! I have spent enough on this dog! I am not getting xrays when he seems completely fine. No limp whatsoever. They could barely see anything in the first xrays, I'm not paying for a bunch more just for the fun of it.

I realize this blog is full of nothingness, (hmm, I like that word) but I just felt like posting. Now I'm going back to my book. Go back to yours.
