Scaredeer

Here is a little pic of my "scaredeer".

This little guy has been in the garage forever. Suzy bought it one autumn or Halloween.

I have almost thrown it away a couple of times. It almost made the garage sale two weeks

ago, but I forgot. Now it has a new use. Look at my beautiful tomatoes - the best I have

ever grown (Suzy started a couple of them - so thanks, Suz!). Anyway, the deer ate the tops

off a few of them, so I put up some poulty netting. Then they reached over the top. So I

added more netting. And just to discourage them a little further, my scaredeer.

79 and counting - I'm melting

My AC was supposed to be fixed yesterday, but they got the wrong part. It can't be done until Thursday because of my schedule. I have been sleeping with all of my windows open and the big patio door. I guess my electric bill will stay low and it really isn't bad at night once I stop moving and lay down and the sweat dries from the fan. The downside of that is the nightmares about murders. On the other hand, my sinuses hurt so bad, the heat is only secondary and anybody who tried to mess with me would probably have a worse day than me.

The Good News and the Bad News

The BAD news is my AC is broke again and this time it is the compressor. The WORSE news is the part is another $1800. The GOOD news is that it is still under warranty. The BAD news is that labor is $800. The sorta GOOD news is that the company who installed the new AC last year is partly responsible due to overcharging the freon so much that it caused the comprssor to go bad, so they are gonna make me a deal and only charge me $500. No, they didn't offer, I had to get stinky.
In more GOOD news, I plan to lose another 200 pounds this summer. The BAD news about that is that it will probably cost me more than I want to spend.
And in yet more good news, my garage is ALMOST cleaned out.

I didn't get it... at first

NPR. I love listening to NPR. On the way to they gym, they were talking to Paula Dean. She had to get two out of three questions about tofu correct in order for some lucky listener to get Carl Castle on their answering machine. So, to make a long story short, the correct answer was that Colorado did not allow a woman to have this personalized licence plate: IloveTofu. The reason? because it is obscene. Of course I was on the way to teach a class. I had to wait in the p-lot for the answer. I didn't get it until I was half way across the lot. Did you get it?
