Hot Day

We had a lot of chilling outside and play. It was hot outside. I even got a fast swim in but didn't take in any dogs. I had much to get ready for as we have our daughter's wedding tomorrow like try to find something to wear and oh no nylons so lets find some dress sandals and a long skirt so no one notices. hahahaha We shall see but in this heat I am not wearing nylons. I am old so I will pretend I am getting senile. :-0

Dennis will be staying home.

The dogs loved chilling out on the furniture watching me swim. Funny but no one wanted to come in today. I did get some weeding done as we have lots of family coming Monday and I had to pretend I do something with the garden. Who has had time. The dogs loved jumping in my cast offs of weeds strewn into the garden paths. Dennis got weeds around the pool pulled yet again but said he gives up on the paths. I said just take the tall ones out so he did. We will pretend the rest is ground cover for one day. :-) When pups are out on a regular basis then one of us can weed while the other plays with the pups. Maybe by the end of fall we will get it all done.

September is a very quiet month so pups will be running around like banshees and we will have the pool covered or maybe not and we can weed and watch them play. We shall see. I still have 2 kitchen doors that I swore would get sanded and stained but all I have is a mouse sander so the dreaded thought of it gets me procrastinating but before snow I will get it done. I did the picnic table myself last year. Well, I hope.

I got several baths done today. I hardly slept last night. I did watch Orange is the New Black on Netflix in bed and cried can you believe - 3 episodes and not sure why I even cried. I hope tonight sleep comes. Snuggles with the dawgs are a bonus.

Oh and with all this grooming and I have a ton to do before I can go to a wedding, my hand is okay. Not much dematting - wow. I wish Nathan helped more with the grooming and read one less book and my arm may thank him if he did. Oh well, been asking for eons and on the odd occasion he does. heh

90 minutes to bed if I actually get there on time - but that's rare these days. Pups need to eat at 10 so 1030pm is most likely. I do it so Dennis only has to do 2 feedings during the night.

OMG, you made me laugh so much about the "no nylon" business. I can't remember the last time I wore nylons. I hope you all have a nice day tomorrow. All the best to the newlyweds!

I think every woman reading the "no nylons" bit had a good laugh today! Thanks-I needed that!

I have two seasons...bare legs and opaque tights. I hate those dreaded nylons....they always run so whats the point?
