It has been a strange day. We had to get up and run arends right away. My hubby had to go get the junker car that he bought for a "work vehicle". We have been down to one vehicle since late spring and it has been rough. I will place pictures of the beast tomorrow. We didn't have enough time for me to take any before ben had to rush off to work. It is a 89 horizon it looks like a cross between a escort and a grimlin. It is red had no power stearing, has a exhaust that was fixed with a peach can (lol) and has a very hinky stick shift ( which I can't drive stick anyway) Shelby is totaly embarassed and has no intentions of riding in it. I on the other hand am sorta indeared to the little guy if for no other reason then the sheer joy it gives me to know that it is going to be a thorn in the side of the mean cranky condesending up tight old maid who has the town home up stairs from us. She will probably complain to her (fully dressed) dog (in baby talk) about how much she hates it and that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Sort of like this picture of my afternoon snack. It looks like dr. zoyberg from futurama. lol It is pizzas with turkey peperoni on arnolds buns. and part of a pear.

I spent the day tidying up the house after the weekend and folding and putting away all the laundry that I didn't do over the last 3 or 4 days because I was so sick of laundry after the last stent. I waited all day to watch figure skating with my girls. I remember loving it so much as a girl. They are soo graceful and beautiful. The costumes are sparkly and beautiful. I couldnt' wait I just knew that my girls were going to love it soo much. We were down to the wire. they made it probably two pairs in and then monkey butt was asleep on the couch Firemonster was up slamming doors and yelling at me for nothing in particular. I gave it put monkey butt to bed tried to get firemonster in bed but it ended like this...

that is our ottoman

I learned a lesson bed time is bed time and the Olympics can wait because apparently they aren't as empressed as I was. lol. I worked realy hard to catch up on my hanami today I am about 3 and half rounds into the first lace chart right now. I have 3 and a half repeats left on that chart. I should have 4 repeats finished so I may be caught up by the end of the night but I am not sure If I have much left in me.

It has just been a sorta weird day lol. I found my self crying twice today. Not because I was overwhelmingly sad but I guess it was just one of those days where some tears needed to be shed. The first time was reading the poineer womens blog today. It was about her grandmother and something about the pictures of her grandmas kitchen killed me the clean counters and the way you could see everything right where it should be reminded me so much of my grandma and brought on the ache of that loss and how I miss that comfort and love she always ment. Then the second tears were during the olympics when a skier alex bilodeau was being shown and he won for his brother who has cerebral palsy. It was very touching so yup in tears again. *sigh* I am hopeless.

Anyway here are the pics of Hanami this was just before I got the third round of the first lace chart done. :)
Well I need to grab a snack and get my booty ready for bed I am starving and exhausted from being chores and being a bawl baby lol. If by the off chance anyone is putting them selves through the torture of making them selfs suffer through reading this I am sorry and I hope you enjoyed the rest of your day lol.

ps maybe by tomorrow we will have named the beast.
