Float That Cash

Today I went to the ATM and got cash to go buy some chairs from a sweet lady. I always take extra money, just in case the person wants to sell more furnishings.  

My friend Kim and I Ioaded the final chair in my truck, and went back in to pick up the cushions. 

As I was walking to my truck, I stepped off the sidewalk, and dropped my phone, and...wait.for.it...$500 cash, in $20 bills, into the water running down the street. 

The cash fanned out, and started rushing downstream. And I mean RUSHING! I wish someone had videoed

Dex The Plant DogTer


I heard a noise.

A chewing of plastic-type noise.

One of those noises that brings me running.

I turn the corner, and I’m stopped in my tracks.

This is in my living room floor.

This.

This plant.



That probably weighs 10 lbs.

Dex has taken it off the planter stand, and brought it into the living room, a cool driveway’s length away, in. his.mouth.

Thank the Lord it is a purple dew plant, and is super hardy, and it needed thinning anyway.  I just stuck all the broken pieces in one of my garden planters and they’re thriving!

It’s never boring around here.

Unsubscribe. I Will Unsubscribe. But Long Live the Unicorn.



I keep getting added to all these Facebook groups.

Art by whomever.

Wine by whomever.

Diapers by whomever, honestly.

Why can't I be added to a Bunko group?  Sheesh, people!

I have Facebook classes. I add you if you're already a part of my organization, and if I'm having a training.  You don't have to attend.  It's that simple.

Tonight, I was checking my notifications, and I saw a notification for something crazy.

Lips of a Unicorn.  Whattttt?

Here’s the photo.



Now, y’all know I love purple.

And these colors are pretty.  Just not on my lips.  Actually, I’m not sure they’d be pretty on anyone’s lips!

And…I do not know this lady.  I’ve never met her.  I don’t wear Lipsense, and my guess she’s a Lipsense distributor.

Heck.  I don’t even know how she knows me!

How does this stuff even happen?

Control.

Alt.

Delete.

Or, easier than that.


Just plain ol’ “Unfollow”.

Phishing - Fishing - Oh, What The Heck - Pay Attention, People, Will Ya?


I'll admit it.

The email got my attention.  It looked professional.

For a second.  But I've trained myself to always look at the originating email.

And this one?  Said "danielle@surftrash.net" - seriously.

Women have a desire to be taken seriously.  They want to be seen as professionals.  And this ad is targeted specifically towards that inner desire.

One click.  Enter information.

I hope nobody did.

I hope they were smarter than that.

Beautiful Weekend Morning

It's a beautiful morning.

The temperature is about 70 degrees.  There's a slight breeze.

The birds are singing.  

My day is complete I have seen a hummingbird.  I see a few weeds that need plucking in a flowerbed.  I need to go to that before it gets hot.

And...ooooooof.  Hang on for a second...

Forget about the weeds.  I'm going to be stuck in this chair for a bit.


Baby Huey Dex The Wonder Rescue needs some loving.

To Gift, Or Regift...It's All About Perspective



We’ve been deep cleaning around our house.

And…I found a couple of packages of diapers.



These diapers were a gift for a good friend of mine…whose baby is now almost 2 years old.

Fortunately, she’s about two weeks away from delivering her second child, a little boy.

So, my gift is right on time.  Just one kiddo late.

Isn't that what re-gifting means?  Ah, well.  They'll come in handy!
