It is a cool 82 degrees out. It was in the low 100's earlier today. We have a cold front going through and there is a chance of rain for the next several days. We need it too.
Done work at regular time, pizza and beer hit the spot and watching the Olympics! :)
6/23/13 ** Just changed the name of my blog. I am now officially an empty nester ** My countdown started in 2009 to becoming an empty nester as my youngest was headed to college. Now I just blog about whatever I feel like for as long as I feel like...

Wednesday Eve'
I was going to work late this evening but just wasn't motivated to work that much. I did work a little but I wanted to just relax and watch some of the Olympics. I just love some of the colors of the uniforms/outfits that some are wearing. Last evening the US women's gymnastic team wore beautiful sparkling leotards. I am pretty sure I heard the commentator say they cost over $1200 each. Wow!
I enjoy watching the Volleyball and from the look at some of the competitors outfits I think it must be rather cold there at the Olympics. I know it was rainy today but must be cool too. I didn't look up what the temperatures are there at the games.
We have been getting around 100 degrees around here so it is quite toasty!

Olympics
I've been enjoying watching the Olympics during the evening. I just saw the USA take another Gold in men's swimming. Yippee! The last few nights I have been watching the Olympics and reading the 7th of the Fever series book as I was nearly done reading it. Tonight I finished it and of course it left me wanting to read the next book. The next one is out but it isn't in paperback yet so I will wait to get it in paperback. I think there is one last one to come out next year. Who knows. It is definitely a good series and kept my interest enough to read every one.
I just worked a normal work day today as I always do when I work the weekend. It is nearly 9PM and still 90 degrees out. I had hubby wake me up a little later today because it is starting to be a bit too dark still at 6:15AM (to walk). There is still enough time for me to wash up and get ready for work even though I'm getting up 15 minutes later. Just not a lot of extra time like there was when I got up earlier. That's what happens when June passes and so it is expected. It is going to continue to be dark longer in the morning and get darker earlier at night.
Well back to watching more Olympics.

Morning!
**DON'T KNOW WHY THIS INDICATES THURSDAY. I WROTE THIS SATURDAY 8/6** TOO WEIRD
I thought I'd write a few moments this morning before starting in to work. Two of the furkids also have an appointment with the vet today as well. Molly, our oldest who will be 12 come November, has a hard small (well size of a dime?) lump on her hind near her spine. I'm hoping it is nothing. She acts fine otherwise. Tika has had a fatty lump on her belly for a few years now that the vet said is just a fatty tumor (didn't even have to test for cancer). It is more squishy (and the size of a large half dollar if not a little bigger). Ditzy has her regular appointment and needs her shots including rabies. So I'm going to start in early to work after this post.
I only have 12 MORE posts to reach 1000 posts on this blog! :) Of course it has taken years but hey, progress is progress. And I've written more over this last few years since my goal as of late is to write every day or as close to it as I can. If there is really absolutely nothing to write about I don't bother.
It has been near 100 degrees every day for the last few weeks. It is that time of the summer when I turn on the cold water at the faucet and nothing but very warm water comes out for a time. I try to make sure whatever I am putting in the washing machine can be done on very warm even if the setting is 'cold'. I can also feel the back porch floor (cement) still very warm on my feet when I take the dogs outside for their last potty time for the night around 10PM. Yes, the hottest time of summer is here!

Almost forgot
I just got done work about 15 minutes ago and almost forgot to check in and write a short blog. This one will be really short. LOL
I will say I am glad tomorrow is Friday. Pizza and Beer tomorrow night. Yea! I am also really looking forward to watching some of the Olympics! I'm not that interested in the Opening ceremonies so I'll probably skip those tomorrow evening but do look forward to watching the games themselves, especially the gymnastics and swimming events!
Well off to hit the sack.

Day off!
Today I had the day off. It was really nice sleeping in until nearly 8:00AM! Last night hubby asked me if I wanted to get up at 7:00AM as usual and I had to remind him at least 3 times that I had off today. I might have slept a little longer if Molly hadn't been barking so much outside. I did my regular exercise routine (hey being off doesn't mean I'm not going to stay healthy). LOL.
Then I checked my email and Facebook while leisurely drinking coffee. I got my shower and then took care of some bills. Then breakfast with eggs and apples and cherries. Made an egg for hubby too. I got a load of wash done too.
Hubby and I had plans to go see the new Jason Bourne movie today so we saw that at 1:00PM, along with all the retired folks who went to the theater today, ha - ha. Well it was nice not being crowded. We both enjoyed the movie. Then we went to pick up a few things at Office Depot before heading home. I got an idea then and asked hubby if he wanted to go get a margarita at Mas Fajitas (Mexican restaurant) and he thought it was a good idea. So we got a drink and split an appetizer and that was really fun. It was impromptu and we don't get out much at all with my mom's situation. So I'm glad I thought of it.
The rest of the evening was as normal except I just got done enjoying a piece of red velvet cake hubby bought today. Yum....what a nice day off!
