The Last 5 Days

The things I've learned/and or experienced in the last 5 days:

Wine enhances the senses. On the way home from another Claire's wine tasting, the twilight shimmered, the street lights sparkled, the heat of the day subsided to a cooling breeze.

Hearing about the wildfire that has lasted over a week and burned over 154,000 acres is so overwhelming, the images of firefighters in the sweltering heat, blackened dead trees, charcoaled debris where a house stood, and brown layers of smoke repeat over and over in my head without ever having seen one of those images.

Cooking for people other than my immediate family makes me nervous.

My hubby loves college football more and more every year. Go Bears.

No one loves my videos as much as I do.

Losing 48 hours worth of work on new software doesn't mean everything is lost. I still have the know-how I didn't have before.

It's sad when people can't make it to the family reunion. It's frustrating when some people who are invited don't take the time to respond. When an olive branch is extended to disgruntled family members, they should be received, acknowledged and reciprocated, thus ending the Family Feud.....

New babies are intoxicating.

I think criticism sucks and will gladly be rude to anyone who aims it my way.

My hubby will do anything to keep his 50 mile a gallon status in his hybrid, including pissing off the driver of a big rig! (not too smart)

It's hard not to sweep the pool deck or start a load of laundry even when I promised myself I would only do vacationing type stuff today.

I will always love my blog, even when I miss a day or two. Is my blog the same as my videos?

And, Happy Labor Day, though this time of year always reminds me of school starting up and the end of summer has arrived.

The holidays are on their way. Yeah.
