I did indeed have cake...Jeannie brought me home a wicked-awesome Tierra Misu (SP?)...OMG was it awesome! (and I have more for tonight too!) <br /><br />Have not seen a lick of football yet...so sad to hear OSU is so strong again...rats. I'm excited about Big Blue's season chances this year now that they FINALLY got rid of our old coach and got a REAL coach...but nobody can turn around a team right away...it takes a season or 3 to do HIS recruiting and such. I just hope they make a showing this year and aren't an embarrassment to the Big 10. And my Raiders...well...we will just see. I'm always hopeful for a return to glory (or even a .500 season). <br /><br />Sorry to hear about the rains...we'd KILL for that. We're having another week of HEAT...I did a short mtb ride on Monday (Labor day) and it felt like I was riding into a hair-dryer (and that was @ 10:30am). Yesterday and today are supposed to be the hottest days...I know sleeping the last 2 nights was hard (we don't have AC...almost nobody does) and the house was still quite toasty at sleepy-time. The babies are all hanging out w/ their tongues hanging out panting up a storm, drinking a LOT of water. If we don't get some rain soon we're really going to be in a heap of trouble. <br /><br />Well...gotta run...my bday is over and now I'm just another year older. Yak at ya later...Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517087265569164625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8849348372908281816.post-75957444257838917552015-09-09T14:01:49.739-07:002015-09-09T14:01:49.739-07:00Sorry that I've been absent since the Tour; st...Sorry that I've been absent since the Tour; stuff at work. I'm hoping to get here tomorrow & chat. I was SCHEDULED to have my house's trim/doors painted & repaired tomorrow but it's supposed to storm all day so it had to be rescheduled for NEXT week. My original rain date was for this Saturday but it's supposed to rain then too. POOP! I've put off this work for the last 4 years & must have it done this Fall. Can't believe it's supposed to rain now as we had almost none in August!<br /><br />Oh well, are you watching college football? Both of "my" 2 teams (Notre Dame & Ohio State - sorry Matt!) handily won their opening games & good things are expected but you just never know! Unless your entire team is stacked (um, Buckeyes), one or two injuries can wreck your season before you barely get going. I felt so bad for that Va Tech QB who broke his collarbone & is now out most of the season. But, you know, he JINXED himself! He'd been sacked hard in the 2nd half but was ok & joked to the TV camera at half-time that it "would take more than that to take him out". OH NO! As soon as he said that, I just knew the reaper was comin' for him! And then there as the BYU QB, who apparently had endured season-ending injuries the past THREE YEARS & there he was, a senior QB leading his team & down he goes with a leg injury & out for the season! His backup at been on his Mormon mission the past 2 years so not exactly over-practiced & he ends up making the game winning HAIL MARY in the Final SECOND! You can't make this stuff up!<br /><br />Hope to chat more tomorrow! Have a great time today/tonight & eat some scrumptious cake for me! :) :)<br />susie bnoreply@blogger.com
