Morning in the Wood

Pippi and Mommy’s morning walk through the Mission Creek wood.

For all of you that may not have been around me in the last few years you might be surprised to know that I have a bit of an obsessive type of personality. This is very helpful when trying to accomplish things: painting, writing, working out. However, it can be a pain in the butt for other things. And blogging is one of them. Suddenly, with the power of my new Rebel camera, I feel driven to constantly capture every facet of my life and immediately post it. I truly have to stop myself from running to the computer off and on all day long. It’s like “Wow, I gotta take a picture of this…wow, I gotta talk about that…” So, I will rein myself in and try to use discretion and blog about only the important stuff…whatever that is. Rats, and I so wanted to post pics of the latest crab spider and deer in my back yard.
So, “Sex and the City” was a fun ride–not as well done as the series but I will not go on so as to not be a spoiler. Only I will report: no wrinkles–not even on 50 year old Samantha. And Carrie has no more boobs. She lost them somewhere.

Beach was so nice last night…quiet, setting sun. I had to chase Pip the length of the entire beach to try and get her to leave with us. Carried her wreathing and screaming back to the van. Mist and Tabs built an entire Animal crossing town in the sand. Peter got sand kicked in his face from a beach bully–little wee Pip. And I, in my new bikini, too chicken to go past my knees in the lake as it’s still mighty cold water–not as cold as the ocean, so I really should have forced myself in.

Must finish building the girls their pot gardens today, even though they want to plant things they’ll never eat: egg plant etc.
