Zoo -- quickie

We went to the Philly Zoo yesterday -- the FIRST Zoo in the United States.
Had a great time.
Weather was good!
Knee was not, but that is what it is.

I need to work the photo's and get them up.

Well said.

Photo's

Colleen is SUCH a nag.
I worked on editing photo's yesterday.

I need to be more of a push for it -- I spend entirely too much time looking and thinking.. and looking and thinking some more.

My need is to look at it, decide and MOVE ON !!

Once that is done, I can be more confident in myself.
And eliminate the "but what about"s.....

For the record

... some whisks are just not made to have chocolate cake batter licked off of them...

that's all I am saying........

Self-Medication

I have decided to self-medicate with german chocolate cake -- albeit a small one -- because Ken Rudolph is leaving TVG.
Ken and Matt are the ONLY reasons I enjoy watching TVG -- well, other than the horses.
Their banter, the humor, and the down right good nature -- make it happen.
Some of the announcers drone on and on and on.

Ack !!
And before Breeder's Cup too...
::: sigh :::
what's a girl to do?

well, bake a german chcolate cake of course!
and none of that from scratch stuff.
I reached for the Duncan Hines and the canned frosting.... quick and easy.
self gratification, thy name is Kate.

Moving right along....

The weather is intensifing.
We've had a rainy day.
Now the wind is picking up.
I napped for about an hour because I am not planning on sleeping much tonight.
Might do another load of laundry.
Need to pack a bag to put in the car "just in case".

The Plan:
going back to the living room and will bead.
I'm hoping that we will get SOME of the Travers coverage.
I want to see that race!!!

Irene

I'll admit it. I am afraid.
Irene is terrifying me.

I have my family and my furbabies beside me.
But I am afraid.

The house is a house.
it is full of things.
our things.

our life.
our memories.
the state and national says this is a potentially 100 year storm.
i've been through hurricans in Florida.
but nothing with the flooding potential like this.
we are 3 blocks from the mandatory evacuation line.
my office is ON the road that is the mandatory evacuation line
and it is still open.

I am stressed.
we have supplies.
I love my family so much.
