Mother Nature let r rip...

....on Monday eve...the downpour made me "Is-it-still-Monday-I've-Got-Sand-in-my-Eyes-I-Need-A-Nap-the-Eyes-are-burning-Want-to-go-Home" tired on Tuesday! I do love the sound of rain beating on the roof/ground...it is calming, but I was too tired to truly enjoy it.

Saw flashes but what caught my attention was the Thunder....the clap & roll. [Not a new dance move] I love a good Thunderstorm...just not on an hours sleep. I went to bed early for a reason, Mother Nature!
Oh, oh, oh...and when I thought I finally escaped into La la Land...the Angels decided to take photos [flashes], and bowl [thunder], and water the flowers [rain on us]....especially Jimmy angel..who decides to bowl a strike! Ka-Pow-Bam-Boom-Clap-Wake-The-Hell-Up! My heart rate jumped 20 notches AND my sleepy imagination jumped into PLAYING DEAD [the book I am currently reading] mode of: the dark room holds a murderer with blood soaked hands, black dispassionate killer eyes...standing in the corner and you'll see him as soon as another flash of lightening brightens up the room - SCREAM! Why do I read these books, btw?! Just sayin'!

Now...whatever the rain stirred up from the hell pits of yards - grass and earth - kick-started my allergies in full force! Thanks, Mother Nature,...thanks!

Just have one request: I love you, Mother Nature...but, KEEP IT DOWN AFTER 10pm!!!

Disco Cowgirl has it right....

She will be co-hosting with a couple of comedians...I had them for an interview...she gets them all morning...just sayin'

For those unfamiliar or unknowing...Johnny Gardhouse & Darren Frost will be amongst the comedians performing this Saturday at the Roxy Theatre in Owen Sound. Johnny is from OS and Darren was the Listerine SuperHero Guy [the commercial].

Still not sure...in Disco Cowgirls words: here are some GQ-style photos of each of them:

They aren't a part of the "family friendly" show...well, um...Darren isn't. Johnny will behave...I think. :) Anyway.........they are going to be performing at the Owen Sound Comedy Festival this Saturday....AND...the gal I sooooo want to see: Nikki Payne, will be phoning Mix 106.5 and chatting with Jamie Johnston. bee-....you-know-the-rest! Remember Nikki on MAD-TV as the weather girl who had my luck & she swore A LOT?! lol Here she is:

Of course, the way my luck is....I'm at The Holstein Rodeo Saturday...so if you go...tell them I love them & to come party in Holstein after the show and well...whatever...

May you laugh the rest of your life! Cheers!

She shakes her head, yet again...

...cause there is truly nothing else I can do! Murphy's Law...I must have been born a Murphy!

Yet another war-wound appears on my slow tanning body...yes...another injury from the weekend. No, no...I wasn't doing anything physical like climbing Mt. St. Helen's, or kayaking down the mighty river, or running from wild hippos...I was washing the dishes.

Um, yes...you heard [I mean saw] right...I was washing dishes!!! Go figure! One mug going in the dryer-rack..hits almost dry glass #1...and EXPLOSION! Two large pieces fly out...and, I guess glass #1 was upset that I brought glass #2 down upon him 'cause he spit at me...

A large piece of glass lightly sliced [ok...skimmed] my arm. How can such a small wound bleed so much???? Sheesh! On to my next adventures...

Happy Canada Day!

I sure hope you are enjoying Canada Day and celebrating in some form or other! I can't help it! I am a proud Canadian...I loved growing up in the Maritimes and traveling through parts of this country. I am happy to be living in Canada! And, I love red & white. Well,...red is my fav color. And, if it has to paired up with anything...white is safe. :)

So, get out there and BBQ, sun tan, be with friends and family, enjoy the water, drink responsibly [if that's what you like to do]...and be grateful to be in this wonderful country we call Canada!

Happy Birthday to each and every one of you! Cheers, Canada!!!
