Diving Back Into the Blogging Waters

I'm back. After roughly 2 weeks I had the need for blogging. Facebook alone was just blech...few ever respond and no one writes clever posts there. So on that note let me dive in. I've so missed the blogging waters.

I'm probably the last to know this, but have any of you watched American Pickers on the History Channel on Monday nights? I love it. These two guys--Mike and Frank, I think--go from junk pile to old sheds to weird out posts to find hidden treasures. The best part of the show is the quaint (dare I say odd) people that they meet. There are some doozies. One guy named Galen (who had his entire place posted with threatening signs against every one and every thing) bunkered old cars in his basement. Another strange little man in a fushia hoodie had spent his entire life creating a maze of tunnels with vintage treasures lining the walls of the meandering trails. If you love thrifting or mining out treasures in unusual places, check out this show.

Rick and I just invested in our first quality mattress in our 31 years of marriage. It's a latex one because we read they were better than inner spring for Rick's ailing back. I'm willing to try anything to make him stop whining. Ugh! Are all men such boobs when they have a little pain? I helpfully tell him that I hurt every day and he needs to walk it off. Why does he not appreciate my counsel?

I also was painting the back patio cover until we had the deluge of 2010. Crappy rainy weather. This is Arizona! Boo to the rain! I want sunshine--NOW!

I hope my loyal friends in blogworld will come back to my post. I missed you. I was lonely. I love my bloggy blanket.
