I hope that the rain we had yesterday knocked the tar out of the wasps that insist on living on the edge of our pool. After M's very creative attempts to thwart their habitat, they remained firmly ensconced in their little nest, doing what ever wasps do. He tried to throw the piece of the pool that we believed they were attached to, into the actual pool only to discover that they were actually attached to the side of the pool. Now that it is past Labor Day this might be a moot point, but it is still kind of warm outside so I hope to get inot the pool a few more times this season. Trees by my office are already starting to turn yellow. I keep having to remind myself that oh yeah, autumn and dreadful winter are their way.

I had a strange call at work yesterday from someone who identified themselves as "Jen Wiz Wise-o-net." I have no idea what this means or who this person was. Obviously she doesn't know who I am or she would realize that I don't return calls from Wizards. Especially ones that abbreviate it!

Usually I don't share my dreams because other people's dreams tend to bore me but I had a crazy dream the other night where I was running around NYC with my friend Sweetie from B'ham and she only had 42 minutes to catch a plane and we were running around the entire isle of Manhattan snapping pictures of her with just about every famous person that lives in the vicinity. It was rather exciting until I realized that I was in a wheelchair and therefore slowing her down a bit, although I seemed to be able to walk and pushed the chair along with my feet. We were also almost robbed by someone hiding in a cemetery behind Washington Irving's gravestone.

Favorite words of the week:

We're headed to Virginia this weekend! Roanoke, which is nowhere near the eponymous Lost Colony, is our destination. It used to be called Big Lick. That creates more interet almost...
