Today was quite productive for it being such a scorcher - my thermometer hi 89 degrees in the shade. The Whip got me going at about 7:30 am watering plants and wandering around the yard; it was evident from the get go that it would be an outside day. Brett had taken the day off to begin the long process of splitting up all the wood from the felled trees. He was saved from this task by Dave needing some assistance; as their day fell apart at each turn, they returned with the rented log splitter sooner than later and began to do their guy thing with grunts of ecstasy as a particularly difficult log was split with a loud crack. On my end, after the watering and wandering, Caroline and I dug out the little blow up pool from last year. We spent an hour scrubbing the crud from the pool and for all our efforts once my lungs were drained from administering CPR to the thing, we found two holes that were actually slashes and non-reparable. I made some calls to local stored; they didn't have them in yet. Fortunately, a friend called and I relayed my sad tale. She just so happened to be at Target and offered to pick a pool up for me. She has a son that Caroline plays with regularly and when they showed up with the pool there was no separating them. The kids had a great time in the pool and I had a nice visit with Jenni. Cheryl popped in for a quick visit on the way to the dog park which was nice as we hadn't gotten together all week.

Like your post - short, to the point - you are a woman of few words ...
Hi Biddie I hit the enter key instead of the tab and it just posted the title line. I feel like an idiot.
I've been sitting here waiting for the comments, but it is Friday night and others seem to have more excitement in their lives than I do.
Oh really..Well, I'm sitting here waiting for my slave to finish polishing my stiletto boots, I'm getting somewhat impatient, and yes I applied the whip to his little stalwart ass...but he is a recalcitrant little monkey, and merely hissed at me and refused to lace up my corset....ok, I'm fibbing, Dave is asleep, and I'm sitting here watching everything sag just a wee bit more. But it is indeed Friday night, so in the spirit of such things I will wander thru the house calling for Kato and making threatening motions at the food pantry...just in case.
Hey there gals - and so do I also sit here in front of this florescent screen, tappy tappy tapping on a Friday night. Don't want to go to the local auction because I know that I would just bid on some more old glassware - trying to break that habit.
That is a fine looking pool - noticed that you put a towel under it - smart thinking - sure helps ward off any splinters that might get ambitious!
The picture of the log splitting hasn't downloaded yet, so I'm going back out front and wait for it ...
Ah ha!! I see a hoot? a holler? No, that ancient primal howl of victory!!
Go for it guys!
Can I come over and swim in the pool??? Looks like you had an interesting day. You guys all sound so bored last night. Today is looking to be nice out again. I am on my way up to Southwick to watch by man ride motocross again. Then I think I will come home and ride my motorcycle for a bit, stain the deck finally and then pam is bringing me some crabs and snails at 5:30 for the fish tank
Kristen - your energy is amazing - I'd be ready for a nap after returning from Southwick!!
Gee thanks, have to do what I can while I am still on this great earth! I try to cram as much as I can in the days I have off, but yes sometimes I need an occasional nap, I think drinking 4 Mountain Dew soda's a day may help me.... *#A^%(%)*%
