monday scumday...here we are again. why do monday's always have to ruin perfectly good weekends? even my car was a piece of crap this morning...

woke up late regardless. i was just kinda worthless...kinda like monday is for me. so i didn't take too many pics. i've come to this conclusion that life...at least my life...is full of patterns that i allow to repeat. i'm constantly doing the same things day in and day out. it's really starting to get old. this week, i've decided that i will finally go and get my license updated to reflect my new name, and then start applying for school. i need some change in a desperate way. ...i also need to update my passport with my new name, but am procrastinating this to the max...

my grandmother's quilt. it doesn't matter how bad my day is. i always have this...

sunday funday. and that is exactly what it was! got up nice and late. didn't run this morning. knees felt like they were gonna fall off any moment. did some more laundry and then went down to the car show at ruffini's. lots of fun, lots of beer, lots of people.

just a couple of my faves and the Jeff Washington Band. good times.

we got good and liguored up and then went to mom and dad's for dinner. honestly, i can't remember what we ate...is that terrible? oh well...after dinner met up with Don and then headed out to honeybrook to Kirk's house. drank some more beer (or at least Bird did...i had to drive and didn't want to be hungover for work on monday). good people, good fire, and then some pretty cool fireworks.

went home relatively early. Bird stayed to hang out with friends. i can't hang. i'm lame like that sometimes. sleep calls to me...

i think i'm starting to confuse myself with numbering. gonna have to work on how to stay ahead of myself. i was doing well in the beginning...but then my laziness set in. i take the pictures everyday, and then i get home and the idea of jumping back on the computer after having been on one all day long kinda turns me off. so sorry if you would like to follow this on a regular basis...it appears i will always be a master procrastinator. but at least i know i'm good at that.

saturday was a really long day. good day, but long just the same. got up and went for a run. not sure why. seems i'll need to make another trip to the orthopedic surg. soon. cortisone and another shot of synvisc (sp?) hopefully. that worked for a good 6 months last time. we'll see. i keep thinking that if i just keep running the pain will go away...to no avail of course. not logical in my thinking at all really. it's just what i keep telling myself. i like to run. and this hinders my mood.

came home from my run and cleaned house some. not the whole house...i had already done that some earlier in the week. straightened, did some laundry, and walked up to Nathaniel & Sara's to 'help' Bird and Nathaniel cut wood. turns out they didn't need me. so i took some pics and then went and got more beer.

view from my walk to Nathaniel & Sara's. Mr. Linch cuttin' hay. it really is pretty here.

anywho, chased some chickens around with Lydia, Dylan, Anna, and Boogaloo (Alice)...

 turns out Nathaniel & Sara ended up with some nasty roosters so Sara's brother Jason and Bird took care of them...

this is what happens to roosters that try to eat children and chase neighbors off... i wasn't there to see it and i'll spare all the gory details they passed on to me. not a pleasant thing slaughtering chickens...but then...they weren't very nice roosters.

chiday! i definitely ate WAY too much chinese for lunch on friday. surprise surprise. then it gave me heartburn. definitely did not like that. didn't do much friday night. went to ruffini's for hh with Kim and met Tommy, Don, and Jay for a drink. Jay decided to venture down the road with us and we headed off to Jen and Charlie's for quoits. we don't see Jay too much anymore, so that was nice.

he is my little devil, but i love him. sometimes Bird even let's him chew on deer antlers. otherwise we just save them...not sure why...cause the dogs LOVE them...anyone know how to stop that green-eye-thing from happening in dogs and cats while photographing? it's really annoying. gonna have to google it i suppose.

we didn't stay up too late on Friday. we had a long day planned for saturday.
