Peachy Orchard Trip

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

Img_0060Millions of peaches, these peaches were not for free…though they were only 99 cents per pound.  Millions of peaches, peaches for me.  As you can see I am in a whimsical mood suddenly?  Odd, these mood swings.

Img_0074Here’s a great photo of Francesca eating roasted corn.  She looks like she is enjoying herself doesn’t she.  She doesn’t even use butter or salt either, she merely eats the roasted corn as it is.  Isn’t she cute.  I think there is even one of me eating roasted corn as well, but I naturally eat it with butter and salt. :)

Hmm, some how anna escaped her photo being taken; I wonder how that occurred?  Interesting. We’ll have to get her next time.

Img_0075oops here I am.  LOL miss me…well here I am eating corn.  Well really I think I am almost done with it at this point though, but Cris got a good picture of me, didn’t he?! LOL  Wish you call could have been at the orchard…it was great fun.

I will leave you with one last picture when I finish this blog, or maybe two pictures, we’ll see.

I think we need more days outside in nature.  It has been very boring working day in and day out.  I would like to go hiking in the shenandoah, though not in this oppressive heat.  UCKY! I think with the heat factor its about 110 degrees today.  Sickening isn’t it.

Img_0069Now, who is this muscle woman here? She picked up a whole half bushel by herself…Isn’t she cute.  She even sticks out her tongue as she struggles with the box.  And you’ll never guess who decked her out in the boston red sox hat. LOL

See how many boxes of peaches there were; way too many!  LOL shannon just couldn’t stop picking.

Ok and for that promised last photos.  I will post one photo that little frannie took all by herself…though I am only partially in it and well, shannon didn’t make it at all unfortunately, but her favorite people made it in the photo I suppose…well at least her mom and dad are her favorite people….and then of course there is her uncle cris.  LOL

Here is the last photo of the group!

WORLD CUP FERVOR AND THE LETDOWN

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

Yes, I have become a soccer junky once again, but now that the World Cup is over, I feel that my energy has been sapped out.  I wonder if other fans feel this way when the cup has ended.  Hmm, what sport should I get addicted to now? Tennis..I know there is the legg mason tourney going on, but tennis seems mild compared to the nipple twisting, head-butting world of soccer.

I do need to find things to occupy my time and to create a blissful environment in which to flourish, though its hard to create these things will all this humidity and heat going on down here in D.C.  I am stifled.  Hopefully, tonight I will get into a writing groove again and will get out of this self-pitying mood I seem to be in.  Although having a pity party with the husband was kind of interesting.

This is what I will probably need a pint of this week!  LOL Give me the good old hardcore Guinness!  The only things I have accomplished thus far this week has been to mail these packages to Jen, Terrie, Liz, and Mary that have been sitting around my apartment for weeks and weeks.  LOL and Today, the husband will have the oil changed in the Honda and get a replacement antenna, since someone stole ours…which really pissed me off.  But my little baby will be back to almost new, minus the wonderful keying effect on the side door that really irritates me as well…and I thought we moved out of the ghetto.

WORLDCUP WEDNESDAY!

Wednesday, July 5th, 2006

You guessed it.  It’s my team v. France today, and I can’t even watch the game on television….UGH I hate working outside the home.  :))

When Portugal kicks France’s butt, they will be facing Italy, which beat out country favorite Germany to make it to the cup tourney.  Am I excited about this? You betcha.  When the Cup game is, I don’t know, but I will be taping it, like I am today with the Portugal Game, or I will be watching it.

Too bad we don’t get more days off in the middle of the week.
