The birds are not chirping yet

Since I have been laying around like a blob and so tired lately, I decided I needed to get some exercise so I called my newest friend, Jane to see if she wanted to go for a walk. She had been busy the last couple weeks with family in town (she comes from a family of 13!) so we had not walked in awhile. She agreed to go so we decided to go at six in the morming. Of course, I was worried about not getting up in time so I woke up every half hour all night even though I set the alarm. I made it out the door at six a.m. sharp and I noticed it was so quiet, the birds were not awake yet with their usual chirping. I also noticed out lawn really needs to me mowed.

It took awhile before Jane and I started yakking since we were both like zombies but once we got going, we were talking back and forth. (Normally we walk after dinner, but it has been too hot lately).

HOH said my last couple blogs made him cry so I decided to talk about one of the fights we had early in our marriage. We have so few fights, I remember exactly when it was. It was January 1996. We had a 7 month old baby and we decided we needed a new faucet. The problem was the new faucet needed some kinds of rigging under the sink so when it was hooked up, we did not have any hot water. So, I waited....and waited....and waited. For THREE months I waited for him to fix the faucet. Finally I said, "You have one week to fix the faucet or I am calling the plumber." I ended up calling the plumber the next day.

True, the hot water worked for the dishwasher, but it was a pain not having any in the kitchen sink trying to wash off counters and tables and rinse out baby bottles, etc. I thought I was pretty patient but once I get to the end of my rope, it's over folks.

Now we laugh about it. Now I ask if a project can be finished, if so when? If not, can I call a professional?

Have a good one.

Your fight brought a good result. Calling proffestionals not a bad idea.
On those hot days walking early or late is a good idea. I miss those walks . I lost my partner and walking alone is scary or borning. Who is going to keep away the bear.

You deserve an award for getting up at 6am to walk. I haven't been doing so well with my weight here lately....I should learn from your example and get up to exercise!!!
As for the fight you have had with your husband over the sink. I have had a many of those, unfortunatly I never call someone, I end up bitching until he gets it done!

I think your anger had merit. Men are notorious for putting things off. Then they wonder why we get upset.

Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against
hackers? I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked
hard on. Any tips?

At this time it looks like Expression Engine is the top
blogging platform out there right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

Hello! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you knew where
I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form? I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having difficulty finding one?
Thanks a lot!

Hey there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I
was wondering which blog platform are you using for this
website? I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've
had issues with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Great blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?

A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog shine.
Please let me know where you got your design. Thanks a
lot

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .

net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of
the costs. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on
numerous websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all
my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
