Not exactly a princess...

Okay, people. This will NOT be the long update/newsletter that you have become accustomed to. No my friend, this is just a brief note to let you know about my evening. The newsy update must come at another time, as it is nearly 1am, and I need to arise around 6am! Yikes!!!!! Anyway...my Dad and my brother are sharing a roto-tiller, and hauling it back and forth between places. Cheaper that way. I decided that I wanted a garden this year, but am just not strong enough to till myself. I'm glad to help, I rake, break up clumps of dirt, hoe, etc., but I just can't push that tiller! So on Wednesday, I went to Dave's house, we loaded the tiller in his truck, and he came over and tilled for me! Bless the boy! I have the bestest brother in the entire world, and just don't even argue with me about that. You will not win. I finished planting around 9pm..what a day! So Dave is putting in his garden tomorrow, and needed the tiller back. He didn't have time to get it Wednesday, as he had to present an award in Mitchell at 7pm. So after our school awards night, he came over, and together we loaded it in the rain. Since it's nasty and sloppy tonight, we changed clothes prior to the loading process. So here is my outfit:a skirt out of the hamper that I mowed grass in earlier in the week(it is now covered in mud,) a shirt that has a spot on it and is now wet with rain water, my dad's old ball hat( to try to keep the rain out of my face....) Do you get the picture? No, I will NOT be posting a picture, but lets just say that I am a sight for sore eyes :) Driving my brother's big truck brings out the tomboy in me, I guess. Those of you who know that I have a bit of a prissy side to me should be laughing right now! The only thing that would've made it better is country music blaring. Instead, I had a little Karen Carpenter sing-along, since that's what was in his CD player! We keep having to switch vehicles,'cause we're finishing cleaning out my grandma's house in Indy tomorrow, and we need his truck for hauling.

Okay, if any of you need any fashion tips, just be sure and ask. And if you want to see my current get-up, make sure you come late on a rainy night, and ask me to help you load/haul heavy equipment :) Yeehawwwwww!!!!!! G'night :)

Dittos. At least it made a great mental picture. :)

Apparently my thoughts mirror the thoughts of everyone else looking at this post. The word picture was good, but a real picture would have been better. What were you thinking?

What I want to know is, what did the inside of David's truck look like after you had tracked all that mud into it. Mud on the skirt means mud on the seat, too. I hope you washed his truck for him!

Cindy...I talked to Carolyn tonight and she said that you thought you saw me on the news evacuating pt's from CRH!!!! What site/channel did you view it on? She thought you were able to pull it up on the internet. Let me know if you get this comment!!! Thanks!
