BA,

I'm not WW... just a dumb woman. I think things sound like a great idea and then I have to pull it off. I did have help with my cohost Colorado family, my dad, Mr. Wonderful and D20's BFF. Their efforts were most appreciated!

I'm really glad that your D18 has been communicating with you. It's a really good sign!

I had really awful allergies when I lived in VA. The grass in the spring and the ragweed in August. It was truly awful. I haven't had them since, and it's been really awesome. But we've had so much rain this year that thing that don't normally bother me really bother me. The news reports that the weeds are extremely high, and I'm guessing that's it. On top of the nasty thing that D17 gave me last week.

I live a mile south of a reservoir. They spray for mosquitoes a little north of me, so sometimes they are also nasty. I would have expected them to be absolutely horrid this year, but for some reason they aren't. Maybe they're spraying a little farther south? We get quite a few cases of West Nile, so they try to mitigate it here. I don't know. But it's all weird.

It poured on and off this past weekend, but was absolutely beautiful on Sunday. When I was driving my dad to church, we have to head due west. It's normally a stunning drive, and it didn't disappoint. I knew where my dad would comment, and he didn't disappoint either. It was breathtaking. I told him that I never get sick of that view either. It's a high spot where you can view the entire front range, all the way down to Pike's Peak. So all that rain did something good!

OK, back to something that most people call work...

Bets
