meteor showers tonight!!

http://stardate.org/nightsky/meteors

of course, the best time to view is the early morning hours before dawn, hopefully I won't be awake then, lol.

ETA: (Sunday a.m.) the kids & I lay in the yard & saw about 5-6 meteors last night. Sugar Daddy & I went out this morning & saw a couple meteors, Venus & a satellite then SD hollered 'SKUNK!', jumped up & ran to the back door. I'm all tangled in quilts, trying to get up (trying not to spook the skunk) looking around, "where?where?"
Come to find out, he SMELLED a skunk. (All i could smell was the dog who'd been laying on the quilt) After my heart slowed back down (& he went inside) all I could hear were the legions of skunks searching thru the yard for me so I had to give it up.

Got the roof on the shed today, AT LAST!!  WOO-HOO!   What's left before we can cram it full of our junk?  windows, window trim, caulk & paint!  To be totally honest, I don't think the window trim, caulk & paint are going to hold me back, lol.

New oatmeal idea...

Caramel

Ooo, next time I'll try it in apple cinnamon!

need blogger advice...

I've almost figured out how to add a picture to my header BUT Blogger keeps turning my picture sideways...what am I doing wrong?

I've tried rotating the original thinking Blogger would rotate it into the proper orientation but no-go.

I've tried different sized pictures but still no difference.  Any suggestions are appreciated :)

Sitting @ soccer practice

I've gotten spoiled by Bigbrother driving Lilsis around. Now when he's working I've got to remember to have some entertainment on hand for these long practices.

Picked up 2 extra water aerobic classes this morning, worked some of the soreness out of my legs. I think I'll give myself one more day to recover before my next run.

8 miles this morning

And I'm pretty much useless for anything else today. I'm beginning to question the wisdom of this 1/2 marathon idea, lol

I ran by this house, I wish the weeds in my yard looked this pretty

should I make different posts for diffferent subjects?

Today was quilt guild & I was able to catch the last hour.  I hope noone cared I was still dripping from teaching 2 classes of water aerobics.  I really miss getting together with my little local group!


One of my 'invisible' friends, Carolyn (from the HGTV Quilting and Needlework site) sent me this adorable little hussif.  LOVE the dragon fabric! 

 

Love the colors!  The orange lace trim looks like dragon fire to me :D

This little beaded dragonfly was a kit she included, super cute!

 

The awesome dragon charm was also included & I added it to scissor fob I was gifted at the Circle of Friends retreat in Branson (I'm sorry, I don't remember from who)

Important stuff

This is good stuff & an ABSOLUTE necessity for runners whose thighs rub together (thanks Sugar Daddy!)
