Before I leave for home this evening, I decide to stop at the local home improvement store and pick up a relatively inexpensive bird bath. So I get one made of glass painted up like a sunflower with a metal stand. Then I notice that they have some pretty healthy trees there. I pick out one that looks pretty good, and as I'm walking back in toward the outdoor register, a little old lady all bent over says, "What ya got there." I say, "I've got a white dogwood. No, wait a minute, I've got a white pear." She says, "They're pretty but they snap off in the wind, same as the dogwoods. Where ya gonna put it - somewhere sheltered I hope." I say, "Well, no, out in the middle of the yard." She says, "See that beautiful magnolia with the lavendar looking flowers - a rugged tree, beautiful, flowers snap off pretty fast, but foliage is a shiny beautiful green." So, I buy a Jane Magnolia tree.
As soon as I'm done eating, I go out and plant it. I'm about to do some weed eating when the dogs find a hole in the fence and get out. Me, thinking that they got out between the gates, straightens the gates, and before I can walk back to the garage, I see them get out through a hole in the fence. This time they are gone with the wind. I walk a few blocks hollering for them with no luck. Now I have to go get DW's van, because it's much easier to load them up with the sliding doors than it is for me to get them up in the truck - assuming I find them. I'm cruising for a good hour before I finally see them in hot pursuit of a rabbit running for dear life. I finally get them to jump in the van and get them home. Now, it's too dark to do the weedeating or fill all the bird feeders.
With my outdoor plans thwarted, I decide now is the time to replace the mirror in DW's vanity that she broke. I get one of the screws out and the pointy end of one of the shards finds a home right in the end of my thumb like something out of an exhorcist movie. It's bleeding like a stuck pig, as I attempt to fasten the new mirror with a kleenex wrapped like a turbin around my thumb. Then the hinges don't want to allow me to open and close the vanity lid, and I'm thinking, "This is the night from hell." I finally get that fixed, and decide that I'm not doing another thing tonight.
Fail. I get the red velvet cake ice cream out and eat about 3 helpings. It may not have done me any good, but it didn't make me bleed, or run around the neighborhood yelling for Mack and Patrick, and looking like an idiot. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. But it is supposed to rain. Oh well, sometimes life sucks; but the althernative is even worse. Toodles!
