It hit 76 degrees here in Alabama today. At least, it got up to that here in the NE corner of the state. It may have been warmer or cooler elsewhere but I'm only concerned with the weather that affects me! Sorry, but true.
It was totally beautiful outside. Not much in the way of wind either. Bright, blue skies and lots and lots of sun. Just the way *I* like it. For now, accolades to the weather people for getting it right. It's supposed to be fairly warm again tomorrow but rain...in fact, thunderstorms....are predicted. I'll just have to wait and see what happens. I would love to go see Cee tomorrow but will have to wait until the Beast gets home from meeting up with the people from his church. He said it would be around 1:30pm or so. Now that it stays light until after 7pm, that would still work for me. We don't leave Dennis home alone if we can avoid it. Not while he's still in that *puppy chewing* stage. I'm tired of having to replace scatter rugs but at least it's not like he is chewing wood or shoes.
I once (a long, long time ago) watched a pup for a friend of mine for just 3 days. The pup was alone for just an hour-and-a-half while I went to do some shopping. He chewed a DRAWER on a dresser. I was stunned. I had never heard of that happening before. But then, when I was a kid, the only *pets* we ever had were parakeets. I really had no experience with dogs or puppies. Funny, but now that I think back, the puppy was a black lab...LOL.
The Beast bought some new pillows for our bed today. The ones we had were old and beyond help. I don't think having pillows for more than 15 years is actually healthy anyway. They should have been replaced several times already. I put the (new) pillow protectors on them and he even bought some new pillowcases. As soon as he put them on the bed and took the old ones off, Dennis ran over and claimed one of the old pillows! We had to laugh. Did he read our minds? How did he know we planned on throwing them out? We let him keep it and he lays his head on it when he is on the bed. He put the pillow down at the bottom of the bed....exactly where he likes to lay at night and for his naps. We stopped fighting that because, no matter what, he ends up there in the morning. He can be very stealthy when he wants to be.
Today the Beast washed his underwear and socks so you know what I was doing. I was a bit surprised that he had 10 sets because that means he hadn't washed any of his underwear in 10 days. He doesn't do that usually. It's a week and he's washing. When I expressed my surprise, he said he had too much of his good shirts and slacks to wash on his usual day so he just decided to wait until he *felt* like tackling it. Since all he does is throw them in the washer and then transfer it to the dryer, I laughed. I told him that was *sooooooo hard* when *I* am the one that has to fold (and mate the socks) once they are dried. After I do that, I guess putting them in his drawers is exhausting....or something. LOL
The Beast took his pictures today and I was surprised at how they turned out. Oh, they were all great pictures but they were different from the poses he usually tries for. These were much more relaxed and almost looked candid for the most part. I think the girl will really like them. He told me he had to do them different because the trees had no leaves on them so she kept having to squint her eyes because of the sun. So, by staging them differently, she could finally keep her eyes open.
The Beast decided we should have a break from worrying about what to make for dinner and went out and bought Chinese. I had my shrimp egg fu yung and he also bought us sweet and sour pork (great sauce on them!) and some egg rolls. This place we go to for Chinese uses a lot of veggies and they aren't overcooked at all. Not undercooked either. Today they seemed even tastier than usual, too. Plus they used a lot of shrimp. The woman that owns the place knows we are regular customers and always seems to do a little something special for us when we order. Today she gave us a LOT more of the sweet/sour pork. *Grin*
Time for my shower before I get my butt into bed. It was a really enjoyable day for us just because of the weather. One of the peach trees that didn't have any blossoms last year and hadn't flowered this year suddenly burst into bloom, to our surprise. I wonder now if we will get any peaches on it. The Beast was actually thinking of cutting it down since this would have been the third year it didn't do anything.....but it sure as hell surprised us.
Love you all. Be happy. Be kind. Let Karma take care of those people who are negative or never seem to have anything good to say. ***Hugs***
