Fly-fishing Fanny & Hump Day Free-For-All
This week's Grilled Grandma is a grandma destined to have a picture book written about her. It would be called "Fanny, the Fly-Fishing Granny," for that's exactly what she is.
I met Fanny through a press release I received about her latest offering: an instructional fly-fishing DVD for kids. The pictures in the press release and on her site showed a grandma loving life, a grandma begging to be grilled. So I approached Fanny with questions, and she graciously responded. Head on over to Grilled Grandma: Fanny to read all about it. She doesn't mention fly-fishing in her grilling, so be sure to visit her website afterwards to read Fanny's fish tales.
Last week I instituted the Hump Day Free-For-All and it went over quite well. So here it is again, your chance to let loose with whatever's on your mind. Happy, sad, pissed off or glad, today's your day to spill the beans!
Today's Hump Day Free-For-All question:
What's on your heart, mind or chest today?

Okay, I'll go first. What's on my mind is how weird it is that a fellow blogger -- someone I've never met IRL -- had a prominent part in one of my dreams last night. In my dream, I'd gone to the bar with some former coworkers (not even the coworkers I would have LIKED to be at the bar with, the ones I usually get together with) and this blogger was there at the table with us, eating and drinking and having a good ol' time. Funny. I've never before dreamt of someone I know only online. But it was nice! :o)
Still pissed off that I had to sit in my car for over 2 hours, waiting to get over the damned dam on Monday (Hoover Dam)..........all because they were resurfacing one side of the road. I had to pee, and I had been driving all day so almost all my body parts ached. The wait, the heat, my bladder and the smell of the tar all combined to make me a very grumpy girl. And there was no alternate route, unless I doubled back for an hour and then drove through Laughlin, which would have taken even longer. I know they are getting the roads ready to open the new bridge, but that just pissed me off. Ok, now I gotta let it go.......
Thanks! That felt almost good.

TERRI: Glad to help any way I can! :o) I wonder if it was exceptionally busy -- on top of the tarring -- because the dam was featured in Sunday's PARADE magazine (the newspaper one). Maybe folks within driving distance decided to go visit before the throngs arrived. I'm glad you got it off your chest.
Hmm... What isn't on my mind today? I can't stop thinking about work and money stuff, an exam that I just found out requires six essays to complete, what to wear on my trip now that half my clothes are too snug. OK, that last one isn't too difficult, but goes back to the money issue.
PAMMEEY: I forgot about your trip! How exciting! Maybe it's time for a shopping trip to outfit you for the fun. Of course there's that pesky money issue, but hey, use the money saved from canceling cable! :o)
I'm mad at Sheba, the little cream-colored Shiba Inu who is ALWAYS into something...this morning she drug the skein of yarn I was working with through the living room, kitchen, out the back door, across the porch and back yard and half-way up the back hill. I had to go the long way up the hill, back down again, around to where I could reach the skein, wrap all the yarn back around the main part, and come in the house and have a cup of coffee to get my breath back. Who says an old lady crocheting something doesn't get any exercise (if she has a brat of a dog)???
ANN: I hope she didn't ravel (some may say UNravel) any of your work!
Nope, I was lucky there, she didn't pull out any of my work but she sure stretched that yarn a long way through the house and up that big old back hill. Oh, well, my fault for leaving it where she could get her teeth into it.
after yesterday's meltdown in the twitterverse, my blog and my home, i am thinking comfort food. i have a big pot of my awesome beef stew simmering
Yesterday was my first day at a gym in a long time. I worked on legs and butt for an hour.
I have a Bowflex at home, but it doesn't have the weight the machines at the gym do.
This morning I tried to get out of bed and could hardly move! Ow! Ow! Ow!
But, I guess it will be worth it in the end. (Pun intended.)
Because, now when I look in the mirror, I wonder...
Who stole my butt?!!
