The new frames (don’t laugh) are in. I picked them up lastnight, and although our 4 year old WOW’d when I put them on, our 9 year old was not impressed. “Did you do something to your hair?” She said. Thanks. Thanks a lot, kiddo.
So, what do you think? Do I look like a granny? I’m so “rectangular” now. Does that mean I’m one step closer to being “square”?
Do you ever wonder . . . about me?
I’ve been seeing a few folks doing the ask/answer thing on their blogs. You ask me questions, I answer them. So dig down deep, and give me something to write about. You could even ask me to photograph something, you know, normal, and I’ll turn it into a visually stimulating photograph.
Otherwise I’ll just keep taking pictures of eggs, and maybe tomorrow some cheese, and who knows, maybe I’ll pull the carrots out of the crisper. You don’t want to know the things I’ve pointed my camera at, or maybe you do?
So, whaddaya wanna know, or whaddaya wanna see?
I had my head examined on Friday afternoon. I know, I know. “It’s about time”.
My annual eye exam rendered my right eye completely usless for 15 minutes, since they photographed my retina. JEEZ. Don’t they know I only go in for an exam to get new frames? See Spot. See Spot s’more. And There’s Spot Again! Hi Spot, HI! Go AWAY Now, Spot! Go!
Here are My New Specs. Now I’m giggling because I just now realized that these are my current specs.
I’m such a creature of habit!
Me, I’m taking the day off today. Not working. I’m going to play, and maybe shop, and maybe find a skin care line.
Speaking of skin care, do you use anything from the neck up that I should know about? For cleaning, moisturizing, that kind of thing? I’m not big into make-up, but my complexion could use some help. I feel like my face is thinning out so much that my skin looks droopy or something! I always have had problems using things because my skin is so sensitive to chemicals. I know the chlorine from swimming so much doesn’t help, it’s drying my skin out a lot. Help?
A man (who finally has enough cash stashed to pay $150/hr attorney fees) walks into a laywer’s office and says “I’d like to end child support payments for a child who turned 18 and moved out of his mother’s house over 6 months ago, my employer (DFAS) will not terminate without a court order.” The laywer says “those excess payments have been being returned to you or the courts this entire time, right?” The man says “are you kidding?”, and the lawyer says “I must be, because that rarely happens!”.
The man says “I really do not want to fight over what has been overpaid.” The laywer says, “You overpaid for months. You are legally due the excess monies.” The man signs away his right to be submissive in the courts.
The laywer, efficient as he is, processes all required paperwork quite promptly.
Three days later, the man receives an e-mail from the mother of the over-eighteen-year-old that reads “You could act like a grown up and just emailed about child support, which you never stopped sending! I didn’t ask you to keep it going that was your doing.”
Not surprised in the least by this type of response, the man scratches his head, and then laughs.
My mom has repeatedly told me lately that “I am the internet”. She pictures me walking around the house zapping everything as the source of all of the power (or something) on the web.
I am the eggman, I am the walrus, I am the internet? Koo Koo Kachoo!
Whatever makes mom happy, I guess. Hi, my name is Leanne, I am the internet.
Well at least I didn’t claim to invent the internet, did I?!
I am also a workout nazi, and a nutrition nut. Which explains why blogging has been slow around these parts lately! But still, I manage to fit in painting, blog designing, laundry, cooking dinner, balancing the checkbook, calculating our bi-weekly budget, and raising our kids. I don’t know why I bother with those trivial things, especially if I’m the internet. Shouldn’t everything else just fall away?
Hm.
Joey is dry, so I’ll scan him and post him up here and in my gallery today. Unless you think I could just snap or zap the painting or something, and it would all take care of itself?
You guys are so good at doing me favors (I’m still floaty over such high bid amounts on my painting!), I’m going to have to ask for another one. Today is MommaK’s 1st Blogiversary – so stop over and give her a little celebration kindness for me, would you?
I’m going to have to transport myself to the gym now, to do my circuit training. Haha! Get it? Circuit training.
Excuse me while I hog up your connection for a moment (I still have 32 P2G), those wires are a tight squeeze some days.
He’s an 11×14 oil painting, a custom dog portrait of a handsome black poodle – and he’ll be shipped later this week. I’ll scan and put up the final detail images when the painting has dried.
View my Custom Dog Portrait category to see the painting as it progressed.
Last August I had a little trouble with my back.
Yeah. Just a little.
Today I went to the “Y” to get some training on equipment so I can begin strength training – after months of swimming I haven’t had an ounce of pain in my back – until today.
Today, I had great form. I didn’t lift too much – all I want is a little resistance, just a few pounds. The trainer said I did wonderful, and we talked about my back so it was taken into consideration as I learned the equipment and she explained how NOT to use my back and how to concentrate on the muscle groups.
Except for that last piece of equipment – I think I may have used my hips instead of my obliques to do an oblique twist. Maybe. Because when I got home and went to open the curtains – I heard a snap.
Then I felt the snap.
Then I started cussing.
Then I went on a cleaning spree in my kitchen.
Then I went swimming for a while in a warm pool.
Then I went and swam in the lap pool (cooler water temp).
Then I took two Aleve.
And now I’m going to bed.
The end.
