...and it keeps on draggin'

the house never sees so much of us except in the summer. usually we're only here to eat breakfast, dinner and to sleep.

saturday we stayed home, except to go to the neighbors house. i had to reload winxp on her computer.

yesterday, i left the kids home while i went to church with my mom. we had lunch after, then cleaned the office we do on sunday's. a lawyers office. when i got home the computer was still off, so i left it that way, thought it needed a vacation.

the girls were in the living room with my husband watching the end of home alone 2, next up on the family channel was the 1st harry potter movie, so we watched that together. our netflix movie had arrived, corpse bride, so we watched that next. it's been awhile since we had a movie afternoon, but with the heat, it's not like you can do anything outside.

so far this morning, i walked the trash down to the barrel at the end of the driveway, watched the youngest try to ride her bike, watched the dogs go for a swim in the pond, and saw the cat get chased by said dogs. the air conditioners (2 window units) got a whole hour off before getting turned on again. the house is dark, the only light in this room is what's coming off the computer screen. the only light in the living room is off the tv. 101 today... the outside won't see me again until the sun goes down.

interesting week. israel is finally defending itself, oil prices are again climbing, gas prices are icky... but on a bright note, the space shuttle managed to land safely instead of breaking up on re-entry. always a good thing. i can deal with the gas prices, raised by those damn stock market people raising the price of oil, what i can't deal with is a blown up shuttle. so i'm glad those silly people are back down on terra firma. there's nothing in space, i have no idea why we go. seems a total waste of money.

managed to pack on 10 pounds this summer... mostly due to my love affair with the big mac. i'm aching to get to chili's and build my own burger... or to carl's jr. for one of those sour dough bacon guacomole cheese burgers. 1200 calories all by it's itty bitty self, we won't discuss the fat content. i'm making pasta for dinner. i brown a pound of italian sausage, add a can of thick and chunky garlic and herb pasta sauce and one 8oz. can of tomato sauce. toss with 2 cups uncooked pasta, cooked. i like the corkscrew kind.

well, guess that's all for this week. stay tuned...
