Because I SAID so.

Hi! Not too much to say today [rest easy,I mean it :O) ] A LOVELY day, All I didn't get done was dry a load of laundry,but I have that covered.....I'll do my nails tonight. When they're wet,I'll tell Steve,oh NO! I forgot the last load,would you please put it in the dryer for me? ;o) Done!

I'm givng you another funny tonight. A few of the things on this list really rang for me,ESPECIALLY the one where the Mom says "Wait til you have kids of your own". I didn't hear that growing up,at least I don't remember it, but after Boo came along,why, my parents and family couldn't say it enough. I can't imagine why :o) Oh....and thank you, for the e-mail about my FICO score [one who shall remain nameless] :o) I had no idea that could happen [the see-sawing] and your explanation makes me feel better. Oh,wait!! I have a pic! A certain person keeps saying,"Hon,you've got a LOT of plants" You'll note,he NEVER crosses over into the "Too many" territory,we have been together a long time,and he is a wise man. You'll see 2 plants..they are both marantas. They are at the top of the stairs,and the one on the lil stool is the one I ripped half off of with my headphone cord.I artfully arranged it so it's not too visible,but if you look at it,you'll see a patch where there ought to be growth,and there isn't any :/ And the plants from above are baby aerials from a spider plant.
