yes, ladies and gentlemen ...rain observed a hail storm today. came in with a fury. not sure how her car held up during the process - perhaps we'll hold off looking for a while yet. (some of the beautiful flowers on her front porch were broken... she stuck them back in the dirt - hopefully they'll bounce back)
~~~
i should be packing. but i'm not. i want to leave in less than 10 hours. laundry is done, just not packed. i've had all day to pack. just haven't yet. perhaps in a little while.
there are two loaves of banana bread in the oven. one for me, one as a housewarming gift (although it won't still be warm when i arrive tomorrow night - ha!)
things i have accomplished today:
*arrived on time for a morning meeting with my boss
*found my friend's sister-in-law's house to drop off the baby shower gift (as i'm unable to attend...gonna be tubing!)
*went to the drug store to pick up a few last minute things
*spoke to someone one the phone who gave me some bad news, but i'm not going to dwell on that now
*got water and a few snacks at the grocery in preparation for a long drive
*went to the bank and got small bills
*had a nice long talk with an old friend
*went to the library to borrow some books on tape (and I got an old tape of Bill Cosby - gotta love Bill!)
*mowed my lawn (front & back)
*took out trash
*moved recycling outside
*threw last load of laundry in
*showered (one must shower when it's hot & sticky and she's just mowed the lawn)
*reviewed previous furnace replacement bids
*thought about making banana bread
*ate some chips & salsa (with fresh cilantro!!!!! a.k.a. "coriander" - for you, Yorkshireman!)
*decided to make banana bread
*answered a few phone calls when furnace guy was lost
*met with furnace guy - liked him, decided to hire him on the spot
*just got two loaves of banana bread out of oven, put last loaf in (perhaps this one will go in my freezer for when i come back home)
...perhaps the list above is why i haven't packed yet. i may pack while the last loaf is in the oven. it's still daylight - perhaps i can actually pack my car up, too!!! then all i have to do is roll out of bed, brush hair/teeth, grab some grub and GO in the morning... wouldn't that be fun :) take care!
