We went to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince on Tuesday night, the movie started at 12:01 and we got there at 10:45pm. The line was not bad when we got there, but I think it was almost a mile long when they finally let us in the theater. There were families there, teenagers, adults, people from all walks of life got in line and some were mad/dressed up and some weren’t (I was not). The theater we went to has 12 theaters, all 12 of them were playing the same movie, and all 12 of them were sold out. The silly part is they only had one concession stand open out of 4, and the AC was not set low enough for all those people, lololol. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the movie, so did DD2, but she said the fight scenes were not as dramatic as the book, so, what are ya gonna do? The book and the movie can never be an exact match (except for the Godfather). Let me know what you think after you see it. We got home at 3am and fell into bed, of course, I was late for work, but then I made up for it at the other end of the day.
I will have pictures tomorrow of all my tomatoes and my wimpy little knitting, but until then, have a great day!

Blather
I just re-read my last post and realized that it sounded like the Grinch wrote it. He did not and I did not mean for it to sound so grinchy. I love my Di, and as long as the vets can help her have a comfortable life, I will do what I can to give it to her.
It has been very humid here, yes in the desert it is humid this year; it feels like Georgia, which really sucks. We did get a small pool Saturday and set it up in the minuscule backyard, there is enough room for us to both lay cross wise and stay cool, so it is wonderful! I was going to take a picture, but DD2 was in it and did not think a picture of her in our little pool was appropriate for posting lolol.
On the garden front, the tomato plants are doing very well, blossoming and putting out little tomatoes all over the place. The pepper plants are not doing so well, I may need to give them a bath with Epsom’s salts next weekend if they do not perk up.
I did get to knit yesterday, my blankie is almost finished and I think it is looking great, it is amazing how long it takes to accomplish anything when you are limiting how long you can do it. I also re-read the Harry Potter book The Half Blood Prince in preparation for the movie, which comes out on the 15th. We are going to the midnight showing on Tuesday, won’t I be fun to be around the next morning?!
I hope everyone has a great day!

Blather and Friday Fill-ins
It is hot here today, maybe because we have had such a mild spring (?). My poor air conditioner is working its heart out and still the upstairs is hot, unless you are sitting under a fan. I guess this is good for the tomatoes though. I think I am going to put up a blow-up pool in the backyard and submerge myself. lolol
I took Di to the cardiologist again yesterday, the place was a madhouse and her blood pressure spiked so she is now on another medicine. I am feeling very cash poor right now, I love my dog and I want her to be as healthy as can be, but the last two visits (a week apart) have come to over a $1000 and I still need to order her arthritis meds. As I said, I am feeling very cash poor. But she is a wonderful dog and companion, she is at my side no matter where I go and no matter how crappy she is feeling.
Here is the picture of the wonderful cake my friend made for the 4th. I just found out it was a recipe from the Barefoot Contessa, now wonder it was so good.
I am still knitting one or two rows at a time, I skipped out on the doctor’s appointment and hope that massage will continue to control the pain as much a possible. I should have gone to my appointment and skipped Di’s lololol, as mine would have only been $20 thanks to my wonderful medical insurance, (I recommend insurance to everyone who has pets, you never know what will happen down the road.)
1. The last thing I ate was chicken and rice soup and crackers.
2. Doggy meds is something I recently bought.

4. Di was the first person I talked to today.
5. Hugs are always welcome.
6. I turn the AC down low for extra comfort.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to trying to staying cool and knitting, tomorrow my plans include TAXES and Sunday, I want to play in the garden and knit!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Blather
I noticed last night that since I have been sick and feeling cruddy, I haven’t been knitting, (or doing much of anything) and that leads to my arm not hurting. I wonder if that means I can cancel the neurology appointment, I have set up for tomorrow? I am on leave for the next three days, Wahooooo! I am supposed to have a lieu day every other week and I have not had one for a couple of months, so I hate wasting time off on appointments. Di has another cardiologist visit on Thursday, also, so there goes the old time off. Lolol
DD2 was accepted into the 12-month MBA program at UC Denver, so now she is doing the scramble for the money. It is a very expensive program, $10K more than the regular program. I personally can find a better way to spend that much money, but it is her decision, and she is the one who has to pay back the student loans, thank goodness!
I am going home soon and plan on knitting tonight since I do not feel like doing laundry, I wonder how much knitting it will take to make my wrist hurt. :-)
Have a wonderful day!

Gee, Mondays are sometimes miserable, aren’t they? And I know that if I eliminated Monday from my week, there would be another day that was just as awful. I guess the alternative (not getting out of bed or breathing) is worse than the day has been so I will smile and pretend as if all of the people who have irritated me did not. Lololol
My daughters and I went to a barbecue at a friend’s house for the 4th of July. She had so much food I couldn’t believe it. In addition, she made a beautiful cake that was delish. However, the weather did not cooperate. I am normally hot, even in the winter I get hot, but Saturday afternoon was sooooo cold I needed a sweat suit to stay warm. Unfortunately, I did not have one with me, but I still enjoyed the company and the food.
Knitting has slowed to an almost stop due to illness and Di; she went to the cardiologist Thursday, and it wasn’t great. I am not depressed, but I am sad and sadness is okay, even if some people do not understand the difference.
Name two things you consider yourself to be very good at:
I am very good at my job, and I am very good at procrastinating :-)
Name two things you consider yourself to be bad at:
I am bad at expressing my feelings and I am bad at cleaning house.
Name one thing not many people know about you:
I am not sure what this might be, but I am guessing that many people do not know that I hate shopping and going to the mall. I prefer to do the shopping that must be done on the internet.

I think I am Back
I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th! We went to a friend’s house and hung out and it was great. My oldest daughter came for the weekend and we all had a good time, though I am still moving slowly.
Well, someday I will learn about making snarky comments. . . Remember a hundred days ago when I made the nasty statement about families and their kids in DC? I did not mean it to be snarky, however when I went back and read it, I realized it sounded snarky. However 24 hours after I wrote it I got a sore throat and a few hours later my ears started hurting. I ended up so sick I thought I was dying. For the past week, I have been on antibiotics, inhalers (no I do not have asthma) and eye drops as my eyes were sticking together (they had a cold too), I didn’t even feel like knitting this week. By the time I made it to the doctor’s office I should not have been driving, I feel sorry for all those other people who were trying to drive around me, but needs must. I am mostly better now, and can finally blog again. I hate to be so sluggish, but sometimes it’s better to say nothing at all, rather than post something that sounds like a crazy person wrote it.
