The jury is still out on what to do about my blog situation. I like the idea of just doing what I always do, and to hell with the rest, but it still makes me feel ICKY.

Today is H's baseball try-outs. His dad is taking him. I feel like I should be there, but I am going to stick to my plan and stay away to do chores here at home. His dad needs to see the real Hugh and deal with him if he cries out of frustration or throws a fit. It could happen! It's high time dear old dad gets a taste of THAT fun.

This morning I made pancakes from Trader Joe's whole grain pancake and baking mix. I can't tell you the calores or fiber content. I can tell you that the pancakes were very very good and very very filling. I didn't follow the recipe on the box. It would have made too many cakes, and I don't like them reheated. I used one egg, maybe a cup of mix, and milk to make batter. Highly recommended.

I just got back from walking the K9 units. I figure it was almost 5 miles round trip. I did it in just over an hour and 10 minutes. I saw turkeys, 2 kinds of ducks, geese, hawks, and a bald eagle. I can see the eagle nest from the bike trail, but I couldn't tell if the other eagle was on it or if the eggs have hatched. I need some binoculars. I can hear whooping cranes and saw one flying over. They are pretty abundant here, as we are 15 miles from the Crane Foundation. We saw an older (than me anyway) lady walking a giant schnauzer. My k9s went nuts - that was a workout!

So far the snow is staying away. I hope it goes south - way south. Sorry Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, etc. We've had enough up in here. My neighbor is out raking and trimming trees and getting her yard spiffed up. Me? Nah. I have plenty to do inside. All that will keep.

I am going to go get a cleaner from my brother so I can shampoo my couch and Hugh's mattress. Then I need to lift weights. I also need to clean my basement. ICK!

What I want to do is go back to bed and read. and I really should run to town for some groceries. Humbug.

I hope you all are having a great day.

Continue to email me if or leave email addresses in your comments if you want to be alerted when/if I move to a new blog. I've been adding people to my list. I noticed that I had 31 followers before I found out that people from school were watching me. Now I have one less.

Huh.

ta ta for now!
