Blogger is back!

Blogger has been down all day. I don't know why.

I slept badly last night and did not get much of a nap today. Mr. Mailman came with packages, including one that had to be signed for. He also brought a membership card for AARP. That surely was a mistake since it had MY name on it, and I'm nowhere near ready to retire.

My husband is planting petunias and in so doing, he slopped dirty water and soil and mulch into his can of diet coke. He'd had only a sip or two out of it, but it had to be poured out nonetheless.

I've had brown pelicans on my mind today. Louisiana state bird, and so many sad photos on the news about the Gulf oil leak and the devastation it's doing to the wildlife. These birds were only recently removed from the Endangered Species List. It is likely that they'll have to be put back on that list after this. I wonder if shrimp fishermen can also be placed on an endangered species list.

Supper is in the oven, so I've done part of my wifely duties today. (I wanted to have homemade nachos, but my husband was worried that his stomach would rebel. Not half as much as it would have rebelled if he'd drunk that tainted diet coke!) I also washed three loads of laundry, finally catching up with my own clothing. Tomorrow he'll be teaching, so maybe I can get some painting done.
