This and That
Tom has a new quirk. He insists upon leaning his head up against something to sleep. Sometimes it's cute. Sometimes it's a pain (he sleeps in my bed). And then sometimes it's just plain weird looking...
Coffee doesn't taste the same when it's not in this mug :(
The weather around here is crazy! When it rains it REALLY rains! A storm you would only see in New England during a hurricane hits here near daily. The cool part? It lasts about 15 to 30 minutes. Lightening looks really cool on the mountains! This road was dry just a few minutes before this picture was taken, and again an hour later.
In more personal news, I start my new job Monday. It might be okay. I'm a bit concerned by the three weeks of training, and thirty days probation, for a job I could likely figure out without assistance in just a few hours. Still, I'm not dreading the job itself.
I'm still loving it here.

Two sisters and their adventures in fabric, ice cream, cows, and a thunderstorm
Tonight was great! After a long day with lots of kids and temps in the 90's, Kim and I decided we needed some therapy. So, being aware of the newest and greatest forms of therapy available, we hopped in the car and went fabric shopping!
The therapy session was just what the doctor ordered! We found everything we were looking for and more. We found the perfect fabric to make something for just about every one we know, and new curtains for every room of our house. We stayed until the store closed. In the end we walked out of the store without purchasing a single item - and feeling much better now thank you.
Not far from the fabric shop is a dairy farm with wonderful homemade ice cream. I'd never been there, and my sister felt that was a horrible sin that needed to be rectified right away. While standing in line, in a light drizzly rain, my sister explained that the cows are just around back. Naturally, after getting our ice creams in hand, I wanted to go see the cows.
It was only raining a little. Our ice creams were already melting rapidly, and neither of us was concerned about getting our hair wet, so we set off on a short walk around back to see the cows.
Eating rapidly melting ice cream, in the heat, in the dark, in the rain, while walking seamed like a sport. Several jokes to that fact were being made between licks, and we were both laughing and enjoying ourselves.
Just as we approached the cows, there was a huge flash of lightening, the sky opened, and the rain poured down like someone turned on a faucet in the sky above us.
Getting completely drenched, our shoes squishing, ice cream being rinsed off our cones, and laughing our asses off, my sister and I casually made our way back to the car where I took this picture.
We stood in the rain to finish our ice cream, then returned to Kim's house where we lied about why we were so drenched, and started barking orders at the children to get to bed.
Everyone should try this new form of therapy every now and then. It really works.
