A variety of topics today....
Have you ever noticed that several people die at the same time? Or is that something you'd just notice when you live in a fairly small town? There will be several days, maybe a week pass and no one dies. Then, within a couple of days, there's half a dozen people (old, young, healthy, feeble) who all pass away. Is it a phenomenon? The funeral home staff says this happens fairly regularly. I think its funny (strange) not funny (ha-ha).
I got a haircut today. As thin as my hair is, it sure grows fast. I could do with a haircut every 3 weeks but I try to stretch it to 4-5 weeks. (you get more for your money that way, right?) It doesn't take very long - maybe 20 minutes from wash to cut to blow dry. I don't go to that much trouble at home - I shower, comb some mousse through it, fluff it, and let it air dry. I am not high-maintenance by any stretch of the imagination.
I'm working on the black socks, but its been slow going. I got off-count on my slip stitch rows and had to unravel a couple of inches of knitting in order to correct the problem. The knitting is easy but you still have to pay attention...
Our son took us out for dinner tonight. We had a great time, and enjoyable conversation. He came by the house afterwards, and began prowling through drawers and cabinets. (he's just like my sister - my mom always called her "nosey" because she browsed through the cabinets and drawers every time she came to mama's house) He was "just looking" to see what we had - not looking for anything. We did find a couple funny things in the junk drawer in the kitchen - like his first orthodontic retainer, an old pair of his eyeglasses, a bag of GI Joe plastic guns, and some old baseball cards. Oh, come on, how often do you clean out your junk drawer? We've lived in this house 30 years... don't open the closet doors, ok?
My junk drawer? Hmmm...let's see, I think I haven't even opened it in about two years. Don't tell my daughter, she'll just dump it out and think I won't miss a thing in there. I may need something that is there, even though I cannot honestly say I know what it holds!
Is your son taking his GI Joe guns with him? I think that is so funny!
Ew...black socks...sexy!
I always thought the deaths came in threes. It always seems like that when I hear news about celebrities or well known people. I wonder if the government has ever done a study on that. Shhh, don't tell them, they will, we don't need to know that much!

I wish I could get the kids to go thru the drawers when they come home - no luck - we are all pack rats - I'll need a shovel truck to empty out this house!

I laughed at the G.I. Joe plastic guns....I used to be so careful I didn't suck those things up with the vac. Or was it the Star Wars 'guys' things???? LOL
Ben called all those toys his 'guys'.
