Going Solo

Today I did something that I haven't done in nearly two years. I went somewhere alone. The Breadman is the kind of guy that says, "I'll go too" no matter where I am going or what I am doing.

The photos have nothing to do with the post....I'm amazed that my

Christmas Poinsettia is still alive. It raly make a petty green plant.

I can say, "I'm going to run down to Tampons R'Us and buy a truckload of super absorbent tampons." He will say, "I'll go too." He always goes with me. And, since The Bean is here all the time being homeschooled and such, he always goes with me too. I've told him that he can stay home, but he always wants to go with me. So, I am never alone. Ever. (Except for those two nights in the hospital, but I wouldn't really consider that special treat.)

My Hydrangea snapped back after the ice storm and is full of beautiful blooms.

The plan for today was to go see Transformers. It was The Breadman's day off and he and The Bean have been anxiously awaiting the latest Transformer movie. I wish I could say the same. I so do not like Transformers. I just don't "get it". It doesn't make sense and I really don't even want it to make sense. And, it gives me a big old screaming headache to boot. At least when it's on a DVD, I can do some crafting, read a magazine or take a snooze. Zzzzzz.

The Gladiolas are up and blooming. I cut these and bring them in because where I chose to plant them - you cannot see them from inside the house or from the street. Good planning right? Doh!

So, I suggested to the boys that they go see Transformers and give Mom a chance to do some "girly" things on her own. (And, by girly things, I mean go thrifting and peruse Hobby Lobby at my leisure.) And, by jove, they agreed!

The birdhouse gourds are starting to bloom. I've never grown these before - I hope they turn out! I'm training them to take over the old grocery cart.

So, I dropped them off at the theater and went on my merry way. I even got to listen to my music on my radio station. Yea, baby! I went to two thrift stores, Hobby Lobby and Target. I bought few things, but nothing stellar. But, by golly, I went out all by myself. Just like a big girl!

What? You don't have a wheelbarrow full of bowling balls in your yard?

Hmmmmm.

Maybe in a couple of years, I will do it again!
