Random Notes of Insanity While I Wait On My Rocket To Come

It's been a while since I uploaded any pics to the blog. I've been concentrating on tagging and cataloging them instead. Now that I've made good progress on that (thanks, Mom, for helping me identify some of the last remaining dates tonight!), I'll pull off the latest from my camera.

First, my little shadows. The invalid, Curious George, and taking time to smell the geranium.



Then... Yes, I know they're all the same. But I had trouble picking just one of these to post. So, I'll post all four, and you can pick your fave. How well do you know your SE Ga. horticulture? Can you recognize the plant?



Today was finally a rainy day. Evidently, we had some severe-ish storms in the area on Saturday afternoon/evening. Trees were down in other neighborhoods and Wal-Mart lost power (!!!), but JoRun barely got a little sprinkle. We missed the whole thing, though, while tootling around Hilton Head for the afternoon/evening. Sunday was nice enough for a pool day. There was more lightning in the area as we were leaving the pool for an early dinner, and we did finally get some rain last night. And today, gray and rainy pretty much all day. Thank goodness... my yard was starting to get all yucky-brown again. But, it's not so good when coupled with the fact that my new tanning salon is closed all week! Who closes all week for July 4th?! Just FYI in case any of y'all Boroians were planning on getting a haircut before the holiday... don't bother going out there. They're CLOSED. Oh well, maybe the sun will come back out tomorrow, and I can sneak away for an hour at the pool.

So, have you ever heard of Parkinson's law? Kinda like Murphy's law, but altogether different. I saw it discussed in a blog today, and the context was interesting enough to make me look it up on Wikipedia. Basically, the "law" says if you give yourself more time to solve a problem, you'll use more time. Pretty much the same philosophy as you spend what you earn, huh? Anyway, it's my new favorite law. Because it's so true, isn't it? If you think of something as complicated, it's going to be complicated. And if you think it's going to take you an inordinate amount of time to make a decision, it takes every live-long second you give yourself. That Parkinson, he was a thinker.

Peace out, Monday. You're gone once again, little buddy.
