***y-a-w-n***

Okay, this not being able to sleep is getting real old! It's kind of like sleeping in a new place where very sound makes you wonder what it is! This is an old house and has lots of noises which I guess I had gotten used to but now they just set my imagination going! Argh!

Heh...what's up with the number of comments? Am I talking to myself here? The number of comments has fallen way off especially with the samplers. If it wasn't for the the few regulars that ALWAYS leave a comment on the freebies, I would stop giving them out at all. Beginning to feel a little left out here...other than Maria, I am never mentioned in any of the freebie lists that I find, very few comments, not asked to go in on any collab kits...have I been black listed and not know it? Oh, well, I guess we will just have my own little gang here but it sure would be nice to be as interactive with the comments like it was before!!! HINT! HINT!

DH invited me for dinner tonight...he really is a great cook and I told him if and when we get back together he can HAVE the kitchen! LOL! He is really doing very well in getting his sh-t together and this "dating" is actually fun! We have been watching the Olympics, especially the swimming and diving since he was on the swim and diving team in high school and was the state champion in his senior year. So it is fun getting his input on it...he certainly sees a lot more wrong with the dives than I do! So far, I think the whole things has been great especially the opening ceremony....WOW! I was just awe struck at the precision of it all. About the only event I really haven't watched is the water polo. Just can't seem to get into that although I have to admit that it just baffles me the strength it must take to do all that swimming back and forth and back and forth and back and forth!

Mom gets her new puppy in the morning. The dog warden will drop him off to us (how's that for service???) after she goes to the kennels to feed and exercise all the dogs. We have a great dog warden who really cares for the dogs and takes very good care of them which is so nice because some of them around here are just so terrible that it is sad. Good thing she is dropping him off here because I am a sucker for rescue dogs and cats and would probably come home with more than the one for my Mom! As soon as I get my camera back from my son I will definitely post a pic of him....he is sooo cute!! I think she has decided to call him Pepe leBarque! It really is hysterical because she never really was a dog person. She loves my dogs and we had dogs all the time when we were growing up but she never really had too much to do with them. But she really fell head over heels for this little guy! She has already gone puppy shopping and bought him a collar, leash, toys, brush matching food and water bowl....think this little guy will be spoiled much??

DD is on vacation and is upset that she will not get to see him until next week! It is going to be very hard to keep reminding ourselves that this is my Mom's dog and not another one in "our" family! She went to Maine with her boyfriend's family for the week and is staying in Bar Harbor which is one of my favorite places. It is just so beautiful up there! I am so jealous....I have been checking into some places thinking that maybe it is time for a little vacation myself!

Well, I guess it is time for another kit...what do you think? I love pansies, well, I love all flowers but pansies are one of my favorites! So here ya go.....Perfectly Pansy!
