As I sat back and focussed on the plans I had for the rest of my day, I realized that I'd need to make a few good :
So I figured I'd better start the day with :
As I was eating, I sort of had :
It came to me that I should write something about :
NAH !
It's way too nice to sit inside and play that game and besides, with what the girls are wearing with all the nice warm sunshine around these parts, I really lack the :
to put such a post together.
So instead I :
up something in the form of a little early :
So sit back and relax, while I work out where this Frantic Friday is going to take us. Maybe you should do like me and grab a :
to sip along the way.
I'm thinking we should take full advantage of the :
available, since they really are a :
We don't want anything around here, to start :
Speaking of :
I'm really hoping the weather cooperates just a little this weekend, as I have plans to get down to the beach to do a little "ART" window shopping and maybe even a bit of :
If the weather does hold up, you may even find me out at the :
checking out all the swingers.
One thing however is for certain. No matter what the weather does, this weekend you will not find me stuck down in :
or basement playing :
In fact I'm pretty sure the only way you'll find me inside for any period of time over this weekend is I'll be sleeping, or taking advantage of any :
to take part in some :
with my Peb's. But who says that has to be an inside sport anyhow?
;)
Maybe I can get Peb's into one of those :
or :
that she looks so HAWT in!
And I mean HAWT as in :
A weekend with my red-HAWT Peb's, NOW THAT's A GREAT DECISION !
The titles a bit of an inside joke, but that's really what today is all about.
I just find myself doing a lot of smiling.
As I ran out of the cave this morning, running being the product of one too many snooze buttons, I suddenly found myself frozen at the front step. Big goofy grin on my face for absolute certain. For almost over night, there came signs of life in the front garden.
It's not really much of a garden compared to some out there I guess, but considering it's our first effort at having one and only our second season at it, it just made me happy that a few of the damn things seem to want to come back.
With an entire family full of Farmers and Gardeners, I am the one with the black thumb. Honestly, plants tend to wilt as I walk through the Greenhouses that sell them.
So I stood there looking all childlike and simple I'm sure, when a car drove by at a fairly slow speed. I turned to see what neighbour it may be but soon realized, it was a complete stranger. A stranger that simply looked in my direction and then, they smiled and waved. And I wave.... and I'm smiling.
I turned back to take a last look at the buds holding in that much wanted explosion of colour, and I kept smiling. I looked over to the new garden that we put in this year.
I love the colours and even more, I love the fact that there is now life, where there was none before. This was a dead area, receiving light but never moisture. Now it's vibrant and alive with flowers of all kinds.
Just then, Peb's took a peak out of our bedroom window. And I wave.... and I'm smiling.
The traffic on the Highway to Hell this morning, seemed eerily lighter than normal. Yet all of the usual suspects from my twice daily drives, were present. Since I was still proud of myself for helping to create such beauty just outside our front door, as I came across the first of the regulars I pass each and every morning, I slowed down just a touch as I approached her. And I wave.... and I'm smiling.
The large black diesel GMC pick up was getting close enough to bearing down on me as it usually does each day. As I frequently tell Peb's, I may drive a little on the fast side, but there's ALWAYS someone that wants to go faster. I picked up the throttle and found an opening in the middle lane. As the black exhaust ploomed out of the trucks tailpipe with the pressure of the accelerator peddle, we were suddenly side by side. And I wave.... and I'm smiling.
I continued this pattern at each point along the drive. As I approached every regular I see daily on the drive, I would wave.... and I would be smiling. Sometimes the feedback was instantaneous. I'd get a smile and little wave right back. It set a few others back at first though. They'd take in what must have been one of the weirdest things they'd seen in a little while, then they'd eventually make the effort to send a little wave back my way. But always as in every single time, they'd be on their way with a little smile. And I wave.... and I'm smiling.
I made a stop at the corner donut shop on the way in. When I walked in to the plant, I just stood there and I wave.... and I'm smiling. We started production with a coffee and donut break this morning. Now they're all out there with a wave.... and their smiling.
When I fired up this idiot box today, there was a mail with a joke from a friend.
Corporate Bedrock has a thing for my azz today it seems, so not a lot of time to get anything jotted down.
But there is time to hope that you'll stop by Otis' place and let him/them know that your pulling for them real hard.
I personally can't even begin to imagine what their going through. I've been extremely fortunate to have had a VERY un-eventful childhood, of Not-so-mini-Peb's. All the scraped knees, cracked heads and cuts and bruises are expected. These are just the rights of passage to the next level. All pale by comparison, to what they must be feeling at every turn of events.

House cleaning time again. I'll be sorting and sifting through the connections over to the right there, probably over the next couple of days. I'll be honest with you, those links are the places I really DO try to read daily. Some aren't writing for one reason or another and most are sorely missed. But as with most things, a little cull might only make it stronger. It's far from anything personal.
I may just add a section for links and move it a little bit down the page. Who knows?
