Thursday's Thoughts

Another jury free day! Yippee! It's cool and breezy, just my favorite kind of weather and did I mention NO HUMIDITY! :0) I seem to have tons more energy when it's not humid so today I plan on accomplishing a LOT!

Yesterday I did some things that I have been putting off and one was to print off tons of pictures that I have on my computer. I have a back up system but don't know how to use it so thought with all the thunder and lightening storms that went through last week I'd better get the best pictures printed off in case my computer got struck or crashed. Or exploded. Or whatever computers can do so that you lose your pictures.

It was hard picking the best ones as anything to do with my grandchildren I think is wonderful, (it's a grandmother thing) so I printed quite a few of them. Of course I printed all of the ones of Buddy, just in case....... I need to go to Staples today and get some more photo paper and go through a hundred gazillion more but I got a good start.

I got a wonderful surprise from my friend Pea at Peas Corner recently! She awarded me the Nice Matters Award! You can see it on my sidebar. I don't know what to say really about these awards that I have been getting. It is so touching to have people award them to me, I am very humbled by this. Thank you Pea, you sure have touched my heart and I appreciate it so much!!! :0) If any of you haven't met Pea you should take the time to stop by her place for a visit as she is one of the nicest gals I've met, although I think EVERYONE in Bloggityville knows her, she gets around to a lot of sites! :0)

Back to Jury Duty. You all know I asked your opinion about what to wear. I took your advice and dressed appropriately in nice black pressed capri's, nice Talbot's sweater, matching sandals, accessorized jewelry, hair combed and face washed. I say all this as there were some there that looked like they had just crawled out of bed and hadn't washed their face or combed their hair let alone taken a shower! ewwwwwww!

What is it with people? Now there were other's that were dressed nicely and looked like they had taken time to to look appropriate so don't get me wrong. BUT what about the others??? I am not kidding when I say some of them looked like they were ready to go do yard work or shovel horse stalls. It was obvious they didn't want to be there but neither did any of the rest of us and we didn't look like we'd picked something out of the bottom of the hamper to wear.

Seeings that I am on a tirade today I'll keep going. What about this GUM thing? I bet there were 25 people chawing and I don't mean chewing I mean chawing on a big wad of gum. It doesn't lend itself to making one look like a good prospect for a jury that I would want with them looking like a cow chewing it's cud. Okay, I've ranted long enough but I had to get these things off my chest! lol!

I went to a lovely baby shower last night for a gal that I have known since she was a little girl. She looked adorable with her big belly and she still has about a month yet to go. She's only about 5 feet tall and everything is way out in front so I don't know how she even gets a breath but she is doing fine.

The gifts were amazing. There are things now for babies that weren't around when I was having my son 31 years ago. We thought disposable diapers were just AMAZING and of course they were a big step ahead of the old cloth diapers that we had to rinse out in the flush and then wash. GAG! I was always afraid I would stick a diaper pin in my son too, but never did.

Anywho, there were things I had never seen before like sheets that zip around the mattress so that they stay in place. What a great idea, why didn't I think of that? The clothes were sooooooooooooooo cute, I had to pick up and look at everything. And soft, when did things get so soft and cuddly like the stuffed toys? And Crocs for a baby!!! The ohhhs and ahhhhhs were coming from all over the room. What fun that was!

Guess that's it for today. Need to go to Home Depot to pick up some ceiling fans that I am going to have installed at the cottage. That's the highlight of my day but it sure beats jury duty! :0)
