Have actually done some things…

Accomplishing some things today…Like killing a hammer. Stupid hammer. *laughs*
I was attempting to pull a nail out of an old, falling apart, picnic table out on the powerline…Well, apparently the hammer was in worse shape than we though…The head bent right over. Blah…I need a new hammer.

Dug two holes (so far) today…No, I didn’t bury the dogs.
We’ve had a pile of old tires that we didn’t know what to do with for the longest time. Garbage won’t take them, county clean-up won’t take them…So they’ve just been sitting, taking up space. I had the thought the other day about one of the things that they had on the playground in elementary school that was made out of old tires. Didn’t do that with them though…Just today I remembered another thing they had with old tires on the playground…Working on doing that. They buried the tires about half way, so an arch is sticking up above the ground, and we use to just walk across them. Not always as easy as it probably sounds, as some of the tires like to smoosh down when you step on them. Thus far, like I said, I’ve got two in the ground. I’m sure the Critters will enjoy it when I’m done. *smiles*

The reason we were trying to tear the picnic table apart is two fold…1) We are putting up a fence outback for the dogs. That way they can be outside, even when we aren’t home when it’s too nice to be inside, and not get themselves into trouble. The wood would be for fence posts. 2) Going to put a little fence around the blackberry brambles. They are trying to escape. We are going to attempt to keep them from getting too close to the swing set and the fire pit. [Yay fire pit! Todd came in handy for something. *smirks*] And keep them from going out too far over the septic, and taking up what front yard we have. I still want to put up a net…Though I do need a new volleyball/badmittion net, as the last one died.

We dragged the ‘good’ picnic table from out back to over by the fire pit yesterday. [We being me and Mum…’good’ meaning it’s not falling apart, it’s not perfect either…But it’s still usable, so it’ll work just fine.]

It’s good to be outside! It’s calling for rain for the next three days though. *frowns* Sucks…I want more outside time…It feels good being out there.

Also…I’ve feeling a lot more myself, I think. Even sitting in here, typing this, I can feel my want to be outside. So perhaps this will be an outside sort of summer…I just need to convince Harley of it’s wonders…He’s not as fond of it as Sonja. Sonja…Insane child that she is will go outside when it’s below freezing if she thinks she can get away with it.

Found a game to play online…Played a tiny bit (the tutorial) last night…And was on it for a couple hours today. It’s called Free Realms. I found it from an ad on Neopets. You get to make a character, pick how it looks, all that good stuff. They give you a ‘generated’ name to start out with, but you can request a name of your own choosing…It just has to be approved…And they are fairly quick on the approving, as I got approval for my characters name already. She is called: Byrd Beyond. [She is the main character, or will be, in my second Death Note fanfic.]

I’ve lost two cameras on eBay…Meanies. Looking at a couple more…Auctions are up tomorrow for one or two of them.

As for my whiney depressionlikeness of late…It’s just that whole wanting to have people to do things with, and not really having anyone right here. I just don’t know how to find/make friends around here. Yeah, I’ve got Reese…But come on, sometimes she’s just scary( Plus she’s talking about moving to Traverse.)…James is in TC…Which might as well be Antarctica at times. He’s not likely to find his way down here very often, if at all.
MIGHT have plans for the week-end after next. Well the Sunday after next. Might be going down the river before picking up the Critters. Mum’s friend Kelli, and her son Lee are suppose to be going, and we are suppose to be going with them.

I want to have bonfires this summer! I need people for that. *kicks distance* Evil crappiness.
Though, as long as weather plays nice, I’m sure me, Mum & the Critters will have a few. Roast smarshmallows…They is yummies. *grins*

Well…I want to do somethings…Other than sit here and type this…And it’s gotten quite long I believe.
Have to pick up Harley in an hour and a half. *huggles him* Sonja, I’m sure, will be riding the bus…She is insane like that. Love her dearly though…Insane thing that she is. *huggles her* *smiles*

*skips off*

Yay for outdoorsy-summers! Last year was the wettest summer on record up here (since like EVER!) so the kids didn’t get a chance to play outside much at all. Hopefully it will be drier this year so they can go OUT and play… at the park or in the backyard… I love bonfires! Neopets? You’re on Neopets? I remember I was addicted to Neopets in like 2003 because that was around when I was getting over my relationship with the ex and trying to cope and wrap my brain around the trainwreck that he was (and still is). Were you on in 2003? I just recently set up an account for my daughter, and I was surprised that they didn’t really let her choose much in the way of names or anything. I don’t even know if I remember my previous account stuff or even if it would still be active after 6 years of non-use (I “quit” Neopets when I started work).
