Sunday...

Normally I like a Simple Sunday, but today doesn't seem like it's going to be very simple.  The dog is snoring while sleeping in my chair--she's so loud I keep going to check on her.  It doesn't sound good.  Geesh.   Maybe she's having a bad dream.  I wonder what dogs dream about.

I slept in a little because I was out very late last night at a charity event, and that was after I worked in my school's garden for three hours.  First things first.

My school had an event where families and volunteers came and weeded out our huge organic garden, used landscape timbers to build frames for the garden beds, laid down boxes, newspaper and mulch in the pathways and generally cleaned up the whole garden.  With all the rain this summer, it's kind of gotten out of hand, and the beds weren't delineated in any way, so everything kind of got overgrown.  It is really amazing what a group of people can do in a short period of time when they work together.  Pictures to come.

The charity event was really nice--it was a casino themed dinner, and I learned to play craps (kind of)--I rolled for a long time, which other players said was good.  It's a very complicated game.  I also played Black Jack, and overall I won quite a bit, but I don't really find that game fun.  I wanted to play Roulette, but I didn't really understand it and there were too many people at that table to ask.  I didn't win anything, although my date tried really hard to win me a Dooney and Burke purse in the silent auction.  He got outbid at the end though.  It was fun.  

I'm doing some laundry now, and I think I'll plant some cool weather veggies today (broccoli, beets, and lettuce, maybe carrots), and everything needs a good drink.  Later I think I'm going to pick my mom up and take her to the bookstore and Sweet, the cupcake store.  She can't eat much, but she does love a cupcake. 

It turns out that my son can't come home for a visit before he leaves for Japan, which is sad for his wife especially--I think she's a little overwhelmed, but for me too.  I like to SEE my kids now and then so I can see for myself that they are okay.  It's a mom thing, I think.  

I'm still a little tired, so I may lie down and read this morning for a little bit--my favorite thing to do!  I'm kind of a lucky girl today.  I hope everyone I know and love and who reads my blog has a great day too.
