This is silly, but I'm too excited. I just made up a whole story and series of posts about a deer we saw behind the school today.

As I was twirling my flag in the street, a giant white truck pulled over behind me. At the end of the song, a deep dudely voice yells WHOOOOO! I didn't hear this car, so it startled me. The truck pulls up, and his daughter got out and asked if she could twirl a flag for a second. Of course!

Most of my plants around my house are inspired by my grandmother.LOTS of roses, a lilac bush, and a bleeding heart plant. We keep weed eating the poor thing, and I had to put a mini fence so they'd know what it is. It is still alive and might produce flowers if I can fend them off.

Life hack: Do you like your environment to smell nice, but don't like using room fresheners because of shady ingredients? Get some nice smelling scented soap. After a while, it smells less strong, so just replace it with another bar of soap. When it stops smelling so strong, use it as hand soap.

We don't say break a leg around here. With health care as expensive as it is, that seems like an inauspicious thing to say. The best I can do is to say break a shoe. I can afford to replace a shoe, 👞 but a leg? No.

The husband gave our mini schnauzer a bath yesterday. He also walked her this morning. She is facing away at a 45-degree angle on her dog pillow, and she gives dirty looks over her shoulder. He says, "I have never felt so judged by a 9 lbs dog in my life."

I am considering wearing my grandmother's pearls just so I can clutch them in person and not just online.

I saw three rainbows on the way home from work today. I am going to choose to believe that is a good omen.

When I see a pic of myself when I was a teen or early 20s, all I can hear in my head is a voice shrieking "we were BABIES!!"

This morning, as i was preparing my pooch princess' breakfast that has very defined steps, I picked through the leftover mixed veg to hold out the corn because it upsets her stomach. She approves my effort.

Had niblings for a sleepover Friday. I think that if their parents were billed for every word that comes out of their mouths like texting billed by character, the bill would be more than a small nation's GDP. Aunt Cole, I have just one more question. No, honey. Your eyes are the COLOR of questions.

I cannot stress enough how hypnotized I am by the videos of guys trimming cow hooves. I had horses when I was younger, but the closest I have been to a cow is hollering "hi, cows" from the window of my car.

I love watching the Great British Bake Off, but it makes me want to dive into baked goods like Scrooge McDuck does into his piles of gold.

I cannot even tell you the number of times that I have included the phrase "Ballerinas fart, too" in a conversation.
