Yesterday wasn't nearly as interesting as the day before, but I'm pleased to report that we do have a fully-functioning kitchen light fixture that has stayed on the ceiling for some 18 hours now. Thank you, Husband.

My son took me to Addison (north of Dallas) yesterday to get a new desk. It's my first-ever desk at home that wasn't a hand-me-down. I'm so excited. My son has a pickup truck and who knew that the desk would not really fit in it? It was a fun ride home - with me trying to figure out if anything was shifting back there because the desk return was tied on the tailgate with not-so-strong-looking twine. I told my son not to take off from a stop quickly and not to go uphill. Why does he roll his eyes at me?

Because rain is expected today, and since the light fixture repair took all evening, the guys just unloaded the desk and put it in the garage so it wouldn't get wet. Maybe tonight they'll bring it in and set it up. Then I can work on moving into it tomorrow. So now I'm excited that I was invited to leave the use of the roll-top!

My son's dog gave me a royal scare awhile ago. When my son and the boy next door left to run a couple of errands, they left the garage door up. I opened the door to the garage to put the door down and the dog ran out. Luckily, he must have just gone out there to look for my son and when the truck was gone, he looked around, gave me an evil grin, but decided to come back into the house. He knew he was supposed to be in big trouble (because he kind of cowered and wouldn't look me in the eye - just like yesterday when I found he'd been eating something he wasn't supposed to), but my heart was pounding so and I was so relieved that he didn't really run off or into the jaws of the two bully dogs in the backyard, that I couldn't even scold him. I just said, "Don't do that to me again!" He's sitting quietly at my feet now like he'd never do anything to cause heart failure.

Turkey Dog!
