Where do I begin?

The home office has been in the market for a boat the past few months. I cannot tell you how much time and printer toner he has spent looking for just the right one. Last month he made the declaration he may wait another year to buy "our" boat because he had missed out on a couple of SeaRays he really wanted. So, I thought the boat was a moot point - until today.

I couldn't for the life of me figure out why he was so amiable about me going to estate sales with my mom and aunt. He even suggested I go and "have fun". After sixteen plus years I should have had a clue something was amiss. When I asked him what he and the kids were going to do while I was away I was told they were going to run to the hardware store.

When I drove up to the house this afternoon there was a white Suburban much like ours out in front of our house with a boat behind it. I thought to myself, wonder who is here? Then it hit me, you know when you get that sinking feeling deep down in your gut, I think that is our truck. I backed up and looked and sure enough it was our licence plate on the white Suburban. Why did our truck have a boat attached to it?

Oh, that would be because it is "our" boat. DLS is so lucky our neighbor Dave and his kids decided to stop over with cookies right about the time I could finally put together a complete sentence.

The boat will be fun, I can sit and read while he drags the kids around the lake. I am just wondering if he would be as understanding if I went out and bought a '65 Mustang like I have always wanted when I told him I was going to the hardware store?

The day my dh bought a boat I cancelled all of his credit cards. I was so angry with him for not conferring with me first. It has been almost 5 years now and he has replaced the floor, the seats, the depth finder, the motor...but it is fun and the kids really enjoy it.

Six weeks

I am sidelined for at least six weeks. No tennis - no good. My bad wheel turned into immobile wheel today thanks to an air cast. Not the most attractive accessory. I had been trying to continue playing with the plantar fasciitis guess I figured it was going to be around for awhile so might as well deal with it. This plan actually worked out for the best because when I was playing on Thursday there was this loud pop in the bottom of my foot. Suddenly my heel felt better, so I thought, "Maybe it released all of the bad heel juju into the rest of my foot." Well, it was something like that. Evidently I tore a ligament in my foot which the doctor told me is really the best thing that could have happened. The reason why is it cured the plantar fasciitis. Plus the recovery time for the ligament thing is about six weeks versus potentially months or years with the other. So all in all I guess it was a good thing to tear a ligament. I am bummed because I can't do any exercise for t...

Have you met my friend Jane?

I am a complete Jane Austen junkie, in fact I think that I need to maybe seek help. Shelly tells me I need help and we all know Shel tells it like it is, so it must be true. "Hello, my name is Susan and I love Jane. Jane Austen." I read "Pride and Prejudice", annually. Yes, every year I spend a weekend with Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Now that I think about it I may need to skip my little tradition this year because I have so many other never read books piled up and there is a due date looming from the library. The reason I share this closeted truth with you my friends is because there is a TV event starting this weekend on PBS. It is basically the 10 weeks of Jane, every Sunday night PBS will air a adaptation of Jane Austen's novels. Here is the schedule. So, if you have never had the opportunity to get to know Jane, maybe it is time. Think about it, there is no new TV, it's cold out and you can learn new some new sayings for Monday. Nothing ...
