How YOU doin?

Sometimes I want to give in and jump into the thick of an argument, then I step back and think, it just ain't worth it. I always regret when I give into the temptation anyway.

The rain has been nice, the only drawback is the mud tracked in from the backyard by mi perro.

When I was young I used to have very vivid dreams, especially when I was preggo, then they stopped and I missed the nightly entertainment. They're coming back now. Last night's was a doozie.

I'm almost finished reading Songs in Ordinary Time by Mary McGarry Morris. I have mixed feelings about this book. I don't think there is one character in the whole book with more than one redeeming quality and there isn't one with whom I can identify, but there are several I'd like to shake some sense into. I'll be glad to finish it so I can read Jodi Picoult's Handle With Care which my daughter gave me for my birthday last week. I make myself read a book if I've started it whether I am enjoying it or not.

I've spent the last couple of days with my grandson. I hope he always likes being around me as much as he does now. He's excited about football starting soon. I love watching his games while cringing at every tackle. He's worried he won't make weight to be able to carry the ball. In his league they have weight restrictions regarding who is allowed to run the ball. He's a couple of pounds over at the moment with weigh-ins looming.

Not sure how you found me, rr.com, but message received. Blog checked. I liked your earlier work better and you need to post more often.

I had a dream last night that Mr. Alley, my brother and I were kidnapped in a double fake submarine. (It was actually a trailer house)And so that they wouldnt kill my brother, he had to act retarded. And the people only wanted me for my baby!

I'm not to sure what all that meant.
