Week in Review

I've had a lot of unusual things happen to me this week. So many, in fact, that I want to list all the craziness. I'm not going to attribute them to specific days because, frankly, I don't remember that well.
  • Saw a turkey fly. I don't think I even knew that they did fly our could fly, and it looked quite awkward with that giant body and wimpy little wings. 
  • On my dog walk yesterday, I saw a decorated Christmas tree on display. Life-size! Still!
  • Learned that May 4th is Star Wars Day (as in May the 4th be with you!)
  • Removed a giant tick which had embedded himself into my knee.
  • Scalded my hand with boiling water while missing the cup I was pouring into almost entirely.
  • Dinner out with my wonderful family, husband, kids, mom, step-dad, and my favorite uncle and his wife. 
  • Raced Etchells sailboat on Saturday, which resulted in some quite nasty bruising on my arms and legs.
  • Went to take the girls to school, only to discover that the car battery was dead. My bike was in the shop so I had to go under the house to retrieve my old one. My youngest daughter walked her bike about a half-mile of a mile-and-a-half trip to school. My oldest daughter rode that distance on a flat tire.
  • Obsessed and (maybe) got over the desire to cut my hair off again. 
  • Left a bag of dog poop in the car after walk only to discover the horrid smell next time I went to drive. 
  • Screamed louder than my youngest daughter at the discovery a spider was on my bed.
I think I'm going to just leave it at that. I have things to do and I won't bore you with the rest...

The Eisenhower Interstate system requires that one mile in every five must be straight. These straight sections are usable as air strips in times of war or other emergencies.
