Up To Dating....

I have decided not to do a "Two for Tuesday" post tomorrow, so I thought I would do a quick blog today.

I am not sleeping well. I guess I probably haven't slept really good...I don't know, since January?!? Yes, unfortunately, it has been that long. I might even venture out and say a little before then. It takes me a while to finally fall asleep and then I will either be awoken by a bad dream or the fact that my brain has decided to overtake my sleep and put thoughts into my head. I decided that I think too much. I guess this might be good if the thoughts were like on...say....world peace? Or perhaps, solving today's economic issues? Or maybe even a magic weight loss pill! But, no, my thoughts are not productive at all. One thought leads to another which leads to another to another to another....it's an endless cycle.

Fred and Ethel (my beautiful Blue Jays) are back in my backyard. I have missed them. I have not heard the chirping of baby birdies yet...I hope I hear it soon. The first year Fred and Ethel were here, their babies did not make it; I think it was just too cold for them or something. That would have been the year my son graduated high school. The next year, we had babies! All survived, I believe, but one. One little baby fell out of the nest. Last year, I was so worried about the babies...it was so windy one day, they blew out of the nest! Fred and Ethel worked so hard to try to get them back in the nest, but they were pretty big. We had Maggie then, so I kept her in the house for the afternoon whilst Fred figured out how to get his family all together. I am not sure exactly what happened, but after returning home from whatever event, the babies were safely back in the nest. This year, though I have not really looked too hard, I cannot find the nest, though I know it exists, so I have not been able to see if there are eggs or babies yet. I will make that a project this week. I did (okay Trent did, sue me) clean out the bird bath and give them a fresh drink. Welcome home, Fred and Ethel.

Finished up my latest knitting project...another throw for a wedding. If I have to say so myself, and I do, it is the best work I have done to date! The throw is absolutely beautiful. The colors are warm and neutral. It is really, really pretty. I hope the people I am giving it to love it as much as I do! There is a camera issue (Natalie!!), so as soon as it is resolved I will post pictures so you, too, can be amazed at my beautiful handiwork! I will also get a picture of Trent's Giant's scarf and perhaps by then, Natalie's scarf will be done.

One last thought...I hate my phone. I mean, I really hate it! I have had phones in the past that I was like...eh. But this phone, I hate! I should have never gotten rid of my Blackberry -- I loved that phone! It was the perfect size and my fingers fit on the keyboard perfectly and I liked the way it felt in my hand. This stupid Droid....I can't think of anything I like about it! I hate it. I hate everything about it. I never slide out the keyboard because I hate the keyboard. It has an auto correct and it always auto corrects "you" for "You". I don't know why, but having a capital "Y" in the middle of my sentence drives me nuts! I "dropped" it the other day...it still works! LOL! I told Trenty that in August when the new iPhone comes out, I am so getting one! Kinda funny thing I do...when people ask if I like I, I always tell them that I LOVE it...let them figure it out for themselves! I should hardly be the only miserable Droid owner! LOL!!!

Well...I am glad I got to spend part of my Monday here. Someone once told me writing is a good release, they were right!
