Sense and Sensibility…

I feel like writing but have no idea what I wanna write about so here I am again – shall we do it point by random point? OH! I know – I’ll steal Tense Teacher’s idea and do the Today in 5 senses. Yes. That’s what I’ll do. Here we go!

See: My kids actually cleaning up the front yard… the FIRST TIME I ASKED! Course, there’s still a couple things they missed, but they DID IT! without ARGUING WITH ME! and without KILLING EACH OTHER and WILLINGLY and the FIRST TIME!

I think I may die of shock. heh.

Also – seeing the new theme/style here. I think I get shocked everytime I open it and it’s not… darker. *L*

Hear: The whine of mosquitos! GAH. Stupid things are driving me INSANE. I’ve had them bite me TWICE this year on an EYELID. Not once, but TWICE and the SWELLING and the ITCHIN of said eye when that happens! It’s AWEFUL! They’re eating me ALIVE!

Touch: My ankle is doing much better, though it is still sore to the touch around the joint itself. And the pretty bruising is still there, but all in all it’s doing better. I’ve ditched the brace (and gotten yelled at by dad for it. *L*) and still taking it slow, but it is definitely on the mend. While I overdid it in Anchorage, I actually think it helped strengthen it faster because I was forced to walk on it and keep those tendons and ligaments in motion. Anyway – on the mend. Yay!

Smell: My sons stinky feet. O. M. G. boys are icky. *L* While we were up at the AllStar Tourney, he was scared to take off his shoes because the ControlFreakDrillSargent was always griping about scents that were driving her nuts and kept making the girls reapply their deoderant and the boy was terrified to take off his shoes.

So when he did he put on our tropical fruit smelling sunblock. It was RANCID when combined with his stanky boy sweaty feet and OH MY LORD I thought I was gonna die.

Course – i think she was a little scared of the boy and how big he is – she didn’t say a WORD. Maybe she was scared he’d…. touch her with em. EEEEEEEEW!

(for the record? he comes by it natural. Heh.)

Taste: Ooooooooooh Grilled Salmon and Moose Burgers and deviled eggs and a fabulous corn salad and strawberry pie and chocolate cake… and lord knows what all else (there were some kabobs and chips n salsa and other things too!) oooooooohWEE does my sister know how to put on a bar-b-que! Tonight was the goodbye feast for the group working on the Habitat for Humanity house next door to my sisters, and so everyone gathered to wish them well, and partake of my sister’s good cooken. I’m STUFFED. STUFFED I say.

Then we came home and watched the shrinking woman go through surgury to get rid of all her excess skin after losing 400 pounds….. and I feel a vague need to exercise. but I’m too full. Fuckit. *L*

So there ya have it. My Sense-ational day.
