Another fascinating week-end!

OK not really, but Steve did walk a goat. That, my friends, would have been a site to see! The goats from around the corner paid us a visit ( as in up on the porch eating the plants), so Steve had to grab the big one's lead and walk them back around to where they belong. Why, oh why, do these things happen when there is no camera?

Sunday we went to IKEA. Apparently they were worried that we had not been there in a while (not really, but I am surprised they didn't call to make sure wer were OK). We now have a new kitchen table and chairs. Fun stuff that IKEA has.

THE COUNT DOWN TO BOB BEGINS!!!

Boy, am I going to be sore!

So....I joined gym and went to work out for the first time this morning. I can already tell that I am going to be way sore in the morning (if not by 7 o'clock tonight). It's an "all ladies" gym, but I really like it because there are no 98 pound blondes in sports bras and spandex pants there. I guess they are all at the co-ed gym showing off t! Just as well; I felt self-conscious enough.

Still waiting on the arrival of Bob. Only 3 more weeks! Not as exciting as having Theo visit, but an OK 2nd choice.

And the winner is!

Steve and I went to the Charles County Fair last night to watch the 4-H Dairy Goat show. Excitement knows no bounds here at Hunting Springs Farm! Our neighbor's children won their classes (8-year olds, and 11-year olds) and the 11-year old won Reserve Grand Champion. BIG doings! We actually had a really good time!

Wish that we could get some rain; Ophelia completely missed us. Many people have said that the fall color will not be as pretty this year because it has been so dry. That is really too bad, because last year it was stunning!

I work tomorrow but hopefully Sunday Steve and I will have an adventure. There is an arts fair at Annmarie Gardents on Solomons Island that I would like to check out....

So - we met Bobbin today....

and he is officially a HE. I know, I was surprised myself, but he was the sweetest one, and has a fun personality. I can't wait to bring him home!

That was the most excitement of the day. We did go to the Charlotte Hall "Farmers Market" which is actually a ginormous flea market with more crap than you can imagine. I had to take a shower when we got home it was so icky.

Today we are going to Old Durham for the installation of new Daughters of the King members. This is a great church - lots of positive energy. SO very different from the last one!!!

let's talk about....

Terrell Owens. That guy has really gotten my goat!!!! How much freakin' money does a guy need??? Now he says that he "plans" to talk to McNabb. Big @#$% deal. I am sure McNabb wishes TO would just fall off the face of the earth; I know I do. What a weenie.

What about Bob(bin)??

Yes it is true, we are going to get a dog. Or as Erin says, "Sick, Mom. It's a piece of fluff." True, but it will be OUR piece of fluff.

We have had a request to blog our week-end adventures, so here goes:

Saturday I had to work so Steve took me since I had my embroidery machine etc. (for a class) to haul in. While he was there, he helped Mr. Mike put together some shelves. Long story short, Steve ended up slicing his thumb open and having two stitches. Not a great way to start a long week-end.

Sunday we went to.....IKEA! I LOVE that place! We bought some shelves to go in the sewing room to try to control the chaos (HA!) and some kitchen stuff. I could spend days and thousands of $$ in that place. After that we went over to Crate and Barrel to see their fall stuff. Too pretty and too expensive! Then we drove back to Hughesville.

Monday was spent rearranging the furniture in the living room and cleaning. I know all of you children are sdo sorry that you missed that adventure ;-) . We went into town for a little bit, and STEVE found a bed for the dog. Could it be that he is warming up to the idea? Probably not.

I could post pictures of the most intelligent child around, but his Mom does a much better job so check out her blog!

Katrina

I do not even know how to express the feelings I am having about this whole Katrina thing. I think mostly I am scared. Scared that the anarchy that is running rampant in New Orleans will spill over to the rest of the world. Look how easily it happened there. And would I be any different/better than those poor people at handling the situation? Hard to tell.

Gasoline is $3.34 a gallon here. That means that on my days off I am sitting right here. At least I will get some projects done! I have been having an EXTREMLY bad case of homesickness for the past couple of weeks so keeping busy is a good thing.

Be safe.....

PS - Wonky is a very techical term for SO not straight.
