My day in a nutshell
Or in list form...call it what you will...
Sooooooooooo...tell me all the zany details of YOUR day.
- I discovered two dead mice in the backyard this morning. Yesterday was another chipmunk corpse in the garage and AGAIN, with half it's face chewed off. If I ever take up bear hunting Monkey "The Killer" the cat is totally going with me.
- I spent this morning journaling and reading. Have you read any of the Men are from Mars books? I think I'm hooked. Good stuff.
- I did a little landscaping project today. This is the before shot. Nose around my Flickr account long enough and you'll find "during" and "after" also. Can you believe no sledgehammers were
abusedutilized in the process? - I think I was tentatively stood up on a tentatively scheduled date today. I'm not super fresh on the rules and definitions of dating so I'm not totally sure. I do know that I don't actually give a damn because date or no date, today was a spectacular day.
- For the dating record, I have been on TWO dates officially and neither party was maimed, killed, maced or verbally assaulted at any point during the event. Mark doesn't believe me, he's looking for empty bags of cement and used up rolls of duct tape. What he doesn't know is that I totally have an alibi for the duct tape. Rookie.
- After my morning of journaling, reading and landscaping I went over to the library. They gave me a new library card. Which means a new number. I had the old one memorized dammit. This is not sitting well with me.
- After the library, more reading then the cleaning started. Everyone, I would like you to meet Tom. My Peeping Frog.
- Cleaning included washing windows, taking out screens (to be washed tomorrow), dusting (mmmmmmmmm...Murphy's orange oil), scrubbing the fridge (all sides), scrubbing floors, cleaning ceiling fans, feather dusting corners, vacuuming and rocking out to Dwight Yoakam set to REPEAT on the CD player. Does that man HAVE a bad song? methinksnot
- I finally tended to the now defunct beehive. For some reason spraying it in the middle of the night when it was infested with live killer bees didn't bother me in the least. Going BACK to it to take it out of the tree completely skeeved me out. You'll note that the dog handled the event far better than I.
- I spoke to me mum and confirmed that the news of my return to the dating world did in fact knock her off her feet. She's still recovering from the shock. Cards and flowers can be sent C/O Ma Bear Kazoofus...

Funny you should mention the Men from Mars books. DH and I had a bit of "difficulty communicating" a few weeks back. To get away from him/the house, I ran to the town library and checked out Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars; and another called Love is Not Enough. The library clerk looked askance at me but didn't dare say a word. The immediate DH situation was resolved quickly without the books, but I found some good info in the books. I was surprised, because I'd avoided the Mars/Venus books in the past, mainly because every one else was reading them.
1) got up earlier than I like to on a Saturday
2) ate an egg
3) noticed that nobody was blogging for Blogging Baby
4) wrote some post
5) friend don IM'd about going to a football game
6) showered
7) went to football game with four children
8) one child left early-- too much noise, so he walked home.
9) walked another child home at half time
10) bastard ex-husband left me a phone message telling me that school lunches are healthier than packing a lunch and that I'm just cheaping out by packing their lunches.
11) called bastard ex-husband and told him to back the fuck off.
12) ran 7.5 miles
13) almost died
14) went to dinner with the birthday woman who made me run 7.5 miles
15) ate cake and introduced her to nutella
16) have been online randomly and need to go to bed.
If I unpack one more motherf-ing box, I'm going to scream.
*That*, my friend, is the *only* detail from the last 7 days. I forsee that to also be the only detail of the next 14.
I read the original Men are From Mars book and the one thing I remember disctinctly is that it said something along the lines of "when women talk to women about problems, they listen to each other and share compassion. When women talk to men about their problems men immediately have the need to "fix" it whether they can or not. To a man listening is not action oriented enough." I find this very true.
What did I do today...ya know what...not interesting enough to go there.
Holy Shite! Dwight has an official website? Why did I not know about this before? And the answer to your question, "Does tha man HAVE a bad song?" Definitely not. Nor does he have a bad ass when he puts on the damn tight jeans (at least he didn't back in the late 1980's when I used to watch country music television videos. I haven't done that since divorcing and leaving my first husband, so cut me some major slack if he has dumped out since then!)
