Theresa post followed by Cashmere's made me think "Four and twenty blackbirds, baked in a pie..."
Oh, and another summer memory! Going to my mom's and dad's company picnics each summer. They were both in the same park and picnic area every year, so they sort of blend together in my mind, with volleyball games and softball games, picnic food and ice cream carts, all jumbled up. One of my biggest memories was playing right field (as usual) and getting a softball hit right to me, and my glove didn't get up in time to stop the ball from hitting me right between the eyes. My glasses' nosepiece took the brunt of it, and I ended up with big bruises on my cheeks from the glasses digging into them under both eyes.
Just in time for the move, my shredder and granny cart are both near death.
I am OMG tired. am going to sleep when mac does. Hopefully that means I will get up when he does too, or at least within an hour of it. That will give me 2 hours before the movers come to pack to double make sure everything is put away that I do not want them to pack.
"Four and twenty blackbirds, baked in a pie..."
I did ask if they were good "eatin'" which brought no laughter What.So.Ever.
Well, I peeled some paint today, but didn't start applying the stripper. Got the stripper, tape and tarp and implements, need to hit up the dollar store for saran wrap and cheap sheets.
Ran ALL my errands today. Ooof. Laundered, visited with neighbor cat (she's such a sweet, crazy thing. I wish the meet'n'greet had gone better, then I would have her over here, since she's starving for attention. She cries when I leave after an hour,) swam, washed the produce.
Tomorrow I need to see about some plants and planting, pickle cukes, slice up some salami for a work thing, and hopefully get a start on the great stairrail stripping of 2010.
And more laundry.
Okay, I've Googled and I still don't know. Someone please explain to me 1) what the big horking deal is with LeBron James lately, and 2) besides a basketball player, which I gathered, who the hell is LeBron James?
The big deal with him lately is that he was deciding which team to play for next year, and this became a huge deal, like spread out over weeks of speculation.
Why, he's LeBron James. And LeBron James is LeBron James, who is our prophesied LeBron James.
Not to be confused with marklars.
Did he say something bad about the team and city he's leaving, or are people just feeling betrayed because he won't be hanging out at their place for barbecues in their fantasy lives?
Well, he was Cleveland's star. Without him, the team is pretty lost. And he grew up in Akron, so he's sort of deserting the hometown.
I know way more about this than I should.
And he went to Florida because there's no income tax. So, as long as he doesn't buy an expensive house and get hit with their property taxes, he should be fine. @@
