Boy, it's hot here today! I'm doing some house-sitting now, and the upstairs room where I'm using the computer is pretty toasty, let me tell you. Someone just left a message on the answering machine. In order to make the beeping stop ( after someone leaves a message it will beep endlessly all day unless you do) I had to go through all of them to stop this one. I came upon my own message I had left a few days ago. Good grief. I sounded so young & ridiculous!! It was almost too painful to listen to it. Everyone else I talk to can't bear to hear their own recorded voices either. Isn't that funny?
At least the weather should be good for watching meteors tomorrow. I can't imagine there would be any clouds, but you never know. This is something my family loves to do every August, if it works out! We gather up our blankets, pillows, and a great many snacks & head out to Gram's large field, where we lay happily for hours watching the sky in great anticipation. Even if we don't see that many, we have so much fun just being together! The later it gets into the night, the sillier we become. And there is always someone rummaging around in the snack bag a lot ( that would be me; meteor watching does that to you ) or talking up a storm ( my sister) Then someone just may decide to play some prank on everyone, while we lay there completely unaware of it being planned. Yes, white sheets on little munchkins have a way of startling even the bravest person when not expected.
It will be also quite interesting to have Annika, my sister's very large, furry, Alaskan Malamute included in our company. I forsee a lot of people getting kissed....
Today, I was sitting in my car happily eating my typical stand-by...... McDonald's honey mustard w/crispy chicken snack wrap--- and drinking a strawberry banana smoothie ( which by the way..... is too banana-ey). A man parked next to my car was putting his groceries away, and afterwards he came over to my open window. I was like, ok what does he want? He looked at me for awhile and asked, "Are you sitting there enjoying your lunch-ey?" And I was like, Uh... yeah and laughed just because I didn't know what else to do. I mean what do you do? when someone says something like that?! Then he said, "Good girl". Hmmm.... I had no idea what to say about that one. Did I look young today, or was he hitting on me?
I had almost the same experience a couple of weeks ago. Another man came up to my window, and acted very friendly. I had a vague recollection that I had met him somewhere, but I just couldn't remember. He looked familiar. And he acted like I was supposed to know him. Don't you just hate that? It turned out, that I had met him at a care facility while on an assignment with my company. He talked to me several times during the assignment, telling me that he was so impressed with my attitude and my care of people. I mean, he really laid on the praise. What do you say when people do that? I simply treat others the way I'd like to be treated, and ask God to help me be a light in the world. Anyway, not tooting my own horn here.....really I'm not! I'm just amused at two similar situations that happened to me recently. :o)
Enough blogging for now. A person can only blog so much in a hot room.....
