I can't sleep.

It's the middle of the night or should I say the wee hours of the morning and I can't sleep. I decided it wasn't worth the tossing and turning and getting all agrivated over it so I just go up. Don't you just hate it when you have so many things on your plate that you fall right to sleep but then wake up realizing there is something you forgot to do that day or you are designing things in your head in your dreams? I just haven't figured out how to balance work and sleep yet. Please if anyone has any good tips on a good night sleep let me know. I've been tossing and turning mutch to long now.

I'm betting old.

As many of you know I had a birthday this month. My mom emailed me these pictures from my family birthday party and I thought I would share them all with you.

Here I am with my whole family.

We are not drinking beer if that is what you think you see in the picture. It's Root Beer.

And here is Morgan, my niece eating a cupcake

It's been dry.

I am not talking about rain around here because we finally have sunny weather after a laps of two weeks of rainy cloudy weather. I was getting pretty sick of it all.
My computer has been having many problems lately and I finally gave up on it and handed it over to my brother to fix three weeks ago and am still without. I didn't realize how much I depended upon it. I am still waiting to get that thing back but in the meantime I received a new computer. I am so excited about it! It is my very first mac! An imac G3 that is. It's getting so old that it is almost retro in computer world. I am able to do all my internet surfing and all my blogging in, while I am waiting to get my other computer back. It's absolutely a pleasure to have it. The novelty of it all makes me happy.

Here's a picture of it, but mine is Grape.

The Cutting Edge!

This summer has been my first for being responsible for mowing my lawn. I was very lucky my mother found me a push mower at a garage sale for a great deal. The hard part is that it isn't self propelled and I seam to get quite a work out mowing my not so big yard. I want to die from heat and exhaustion when I am done.


My brother and sister-in law noticed that their new neighbor was sporting a push reel lawn mower and thought since I am all about conservation and Green things that maybe I need a mower like that too. I am all for it! But when you think about it, you have to be on top of mowing your lawn. You have to mow maybe twice a week because you can't let your grass grow to long or you won't be able to cut it. I really don't even enjoy mowing my lawn once a week so how would I ever get around to doing it two times?

Maybe I would with one of these.........

My brother would be proud! We are a huge bicyclist family (even though I have ridden my bike probably twice this summer). This might be a way that I could enjoy mowing my lawn a little bit more. It's possible that it would even be easier to mow my lawn.
