I don't have an umbrella.  I almost never need one.  Today I could have used one as the rain poured down.  By the time I was at Juice and Java ordering my hot chocolate I was wet, my fair plastered to my face.  A real down pour.  When I left it was back to a light drizzle and I no longer needed an umbrella.

Through no fault of my own I am hooked on HOMELAND SECURITY the Showtime thriller.  I only let myself watch one episode a day.  I am totally involved in Carrie and Brodie's lives and I love it and hate it.  I only have a few more episodes to go before I run out.  I am helpless over this.

Rainy day.  Went to the garage to check on a tire.  They first thought there was a nail in the tire but no nail.  Just a low tire.  Pumped it back up and the warning light went out.  Felt foolish that I just hadn't gone to the gas station to check the air pressure in my tires.  sigh.

Full moon outside.  Sometimes I am struck by the mystery of the stars and the sky and sometimes I just go on as if they are the most rational part of life.  Tonight I am into the mystery.

I cut two snippets from a geranium plant I have in a pot on my deck and then put them in the soil in the front yard in an empty space.  they should grow with the rain coming later this week.  I feel so powerful when I actually start plants by sticking pieces in the soil.  It only works about 60% of the time , that is why I planted two.

Went to my third movie this holiday, FLIGHT.  Very intensive movie about an alcohol pilot and a plane crash.  Certainly people are not going to want to fly again after this movie.  Well done and I am still shook up with it.

Went to see LINCOLN movie with the two kids ages 11 and 12.  I loved the movie and cried when he died.  the kids were restless and bored, too much talking and not enough action.  The theater was full but there were no other kids.  Maybe their brains will grow into tolerating lots of conversations.
