it's friday again...

and what a relief! this week i didn't spend so much time at work but still i sure am glad it's over. wishing my life away one week at a time! monday was call off day and a bike ride to the castleman river where we saw no suitable place to put a canoe in the water but where i did see this little guy. what color huh? dragonflies they are quite prevalent near our rivers! and quite pretty as well! there were two or three of these little ones flitting about but it was quite hard for me to capture them in detail unless they were sitting still and even then, not so great. new camera coming right up! tuesday the guy went under the influence of anethesia and then drank barium and now has plans for another similar day next week! well that wasn't the news he wanted to hear i tell you. but you do what you have to. me and the nephew did a little shopping last nite. just for old times sake, you know he and i have been shoe shopping for most of his sixteen years! it became a tradition when, a few years ago, he wanted some certain type of shoe for his birthday so we went malling to find it and the rest is history. we usually have dinner and a shoe shop at least once a year! this year we left out the dinner and went to the mall as we had more than shoes to shop for. madden 2007 is out man you gotta get that before it too late! so we did some shoe shopping then video game store shopping then clothes shopping because school is right around the corner for him, tuesday it starts, then we called it a night! boy have times changed. i remember when he was in between a boys and a mens shoe size and we walked the mall for hours trying to find timberland boots! now he's a healthy size 10.5 and has the height to match! whew taller every day! and driving soon too, permit is just around the corner and hopefully aunt gay will be taking him out for a few drives to reach his goal of 50 hours of drive time! i haven't done that for a long while! so my birthday shopping is done til november, when i buy myself a camera, the food shopping is done, the laundry is done, tomorrow we have a few things to do around the outside of the house and the weekend is ours to enjoy. i think i'll go clean the tub and vacuum the floor so i'll be ready for tomorrow, after i sleep in first! later, love g
