Courts and Cameras

Busy week this week - Monday in Gaston County, Tuesday in Buncombe County, Wednesday in Wake County, and tomorrow in Wake County, too. But I'm going to be inheriting (well, paying a good price for) a digital Canon SLR camera this weekend! :):):) So I'm hoping to take some cool pics to put here and make this blog better.

Woohoo!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..................

OMG, bed good. Nap like heaven, floating on clouds. I can't wait to go to bed tonight. :) :) :) :) :) :) (And I'm not one to use "OMG" lightly!)

New bed!!!!

Today we're getting a new bed - an expensive one, too, so hopefully it will last a VERY long time. It's a king tempur-pedic...woohoo! I've had nothing but futons and air mattresses since college. A real bed! Since we bought the bed last night I've been washing all the new bedding: a special waterproof mattress pad that is required by the manufacturer or else the warranty is void, a thicker mattress pad that I bought to protect further from dog claws, two sets of sheets, a blanket, and a futon cover. :) I'm worried about the dog getting on this bed.
Anyway, we cleared the way for the delivery guys: pushed back the living room furniture, took down the dog crate, vacuumed the path, cleared out the hallway, and even took apart the futon and vacuumed the bedroom. :)

Now we're waiting. Delivery time is from 1-3pm today. I shut the cats in the garage. Chomsky'll go outside when the time comes. What fun!

On marriage and the Weather

So I am married now - as of Friday, June 2nd at about 6:50pm.

The security is beautiful but the commitment is frightning - like the dark ocean depths I saw as a snorkler in Cancun when I suddenly came to the edge of the reef.

Or like the way Tropical Storm Alberto arrived yesterday causing the most dramatic wind sheer I've ever seen: high, white clouds drifting east high above while low, heavy grey clouds rushed west underneath them. I've never seen such fantastic opposing power except in funnel clouds. Welcome, back, hurricane season.
