And Now For Something New!

I've seen a lot of bloggers participating in Mrs4444's cool little Friday Frags project. I thought I'd play along this week just for fun. So prepare yourself to be dazzled with how exciting and glamorous my life is!

• Spring is here and that means we've begun our vain attempt to control the yard. being that we live in the country, it's a losing battle. But we try. And when I say we, I mean the Hub. I'll give credit where credit is due. I mean, grass is green and dandelion leaves are green - to me it's all good. But I digress. So the other night he was out spraying the acres, which means we need to keep MBDog inside for several days to keep him from poisoning himself. Maddening for all of us. It's supposed to rain over the weekend, so hopefully that will cleanse the grounds. I hope it will also chase away the weird smell that was out there this morning, which I can only compare to sweaty butt.


• The Hub's cousin passed away this week, which is very sad. He just died right in his truck at a stop light, with his foot still on the brake. Weird. You just never know when your time will be upon you.


• I have one of my only 3 or 4 weekends per year that I ask for myself coming up tomorrow. I'll be attending an all-day scrapbooking event with my BFF from college. It's a great op for us to spend uninterrupted time being creative and catching up on our crazy lives. Unfortunately, the Hub needs to attend the cousin's viewing and rightfully be with his family tomorrow ... since we're not really down with having Incrediboy in the heavy atmosphere of a funeral home, I'll need to leave for a few hours to hang with the young sprout while the Hub goes to that. Everything always happens in conflicting pairs, right? But ... It's certainly a good reason to interrupt the scrapping marathon ...


• I got into an argument with some people on Facebook last night about separation of church and state and abolishing the National Day of Prayer. Actually, I merely pointed out an error in the syntax - that separation of church and state is not even in the constitution - which is absolutely correct - and the rhetorical point of how nobody had to observe it if the didn't want to and what harm could come from people wanting to pray for their country if they did. Well you wouldn't believe the hornet swarm thwarted upon me by hostile atheists. I got chastised about everything from how stupid I was to believe in myths and superstition to how terrible I was to force my views on everyone to how I have no right to forbid gay people from loving one another. Which is pretty presumptuous considering I didn't even mention my religious or political affiliation at all. Whatever. Some people just can't handle hearing the fact that their agendas are based upon misinterpretation. Good thing I have thicker skin than they do. :)


• I'm still waiting for my John Corbett CD. It's been 2-1/2 days already, what's the holdup???

That's all I have right now, but I *am* kind of a newbie at this. Maybe I'll add more later. Thanks for visiting!
