Wow, it has been such a peaceful evening! The girls went to the movies tonight and Robert and I have been being lazy and watching TV. I can only stand so much TV before I start getting antsy, so I decided to go online and do a little journaling and blog-hopping. I also stopped by ebay to check on a couple of items I'm bidding on. My Katie's 18th birthday is coming up in July and she would like some Vera Bradley bags (in the "Katherine" pattern which is retired and getting more and more difficult to find). She is hoping to have a nice set to take to college next year. It will take me a year to be able to afford a "nice set"! I'm hoping that ebay will help save me some money. I am in love with the "sherbet" pattern and would love to have some for myself!
Robert's 2nd day of picking tomatoes was rained out. He isn't in too great of spirits today. He went and got a haircut to pass the rainy day and the barber really whacked his hair off! I told him that it wasn't my favorite haircut that he has ever had, but it's not too bad. It reminds me of the haircuts that men in their 40's and 50's used to get back in the 1960's. Very short in the back and sides and longer on the top and parted on the side. I told him that all he needs now is a pair of thick black framed glasses and he could be a 1960's news reporter. He wasn't amused. He said "You know how you felt the other day when I told you that your knees were getting bigger?"....that's all I needed to hear. Well at least his hair will grow!! My knees are doomed forever!!
Did I mention that my washing machine died today? Well, I'm mentioning it now. I am glad that the miserable month of May is officially over in 1 hour and 20 minutes! This month has been the worst month for household repairs of my entire 21 years of marriage! The 1st thing to go was the truck. Then the well pump burned up. Now my washing machine. I was hoping to be able to put some money aside for our rapidly approaching vacation. Well, they say that bad things come in 3's. There have been 3 bad things now. . . .I'm ready for a little smooth sailing. . .please?
Did I mention the bite on my elbow? I am not quite sure what bit me, Robert says it looks like a spider bite, but I'm not sure. It is pretty swollen, hot to the touch and red, but the worst thing is the itching. It is like a giant mosquito bite that itches constantly! I bought some benedryl cream for it and it did nothing, so I took a couple of Tylenol PMs a little while ago. The active ingredient is the same as benedryl, so we shall see if it works. I can already feel the sleepiness creeping in. I love that feeling of blissful sleepiness. Thank goodness they are non habit forming!
I'm outa-here y'all. Have a good one!

HEYYY!!!! PUT SOME CLEAR FINGERNAIL POLISH ON IT! (OR COLOR IF YOU WANT IT TO LOOK PRETTY...LOL) THIS WILL SUFFOCATE WHAT IS MAKING IT ITCH..PROMISE!!
I agree with the previous comment. This is what several people I know, including my husband, do when they get a chigger or anything they can't identify. My husband will put clear nail polish on it, then stick a piece of paper or paper towell on it. Hope it gets better, and hope June goes better for you than May!

Wow, that really was a crazy month for you! I'm sure June will be much better with your swollen elbow and nerdy hubby! lol j/k. I have so enjoyed these past few rainy days, but I'm sure it's getting frustrating for your hubby. Some of our new mulch kind of floated away from the rain....but dh chased it down and fixed it....whew! I hope that your bite gets better soon! ;o)
What pattern is your daughter looking for in Vera Bradley? The shop in our town has quite a few of the older ones on sale still. I have a few of her bags but everyone in our town has them and I tend to not like to be like everyone else. We are in a VERY small town. You might want to have the bite checked out. If it is a spider bite, especially a brown recluse, it can do quite a bit of damage with deadening the skin. Keep us posted and I hope the weather gets better for the crop picking.
Keep an eye on that bite! Hint: When you first get a sting or bite, put a pinch of skoal or wet tobacco on it under a bandaid. Will draw out most poisons. - Barbara
