Friday extra

As I type this, Hubs has gone for a drive at late o'clock to figure out who is twist-tying M80s to bottle rockets. The past two nights we've ended up with firecrackers hitting our back porch and going off next to the window. I'm all for your fireworks, but please blow up your own house. Please and thank you. Also, please stop at midnight.

I had a great birthday. Hubs surprised me with an iPad, which in this household is the equivalent of those Christmas Lexus commercials. I was not expecting it and I'm absolutely thrilled. Spencer liked the camera - it was like taking photos in front of the mirror:

I'm still working out some of the kinks in my day-to-day usage so I have no idea if this post will come out at all. **note, I don't know how to place the photos where I want them in my blog so I had to hop onto the laptop to format.

We went to Red Robin to cash in on my free birthday burger ... Which held us over through dinner so I had a glass of wine and cheese and crackers in bed for dinner: perfect.

I had planned on finishing my mulching this morning but Hubs finished it up for me last night, so I now plan on planting the plants that my MIL got me and relaxing on the front porch with some coffee. I love having time off work with no agenda.

Except laundry. Why can't laundry do itself?
