- It’s been a crazy few days, naturally. The weekends tend to be that way… well not so much the weekend but Thursday thru Saturday. Football.
- I have gotten so many stinkin spam calls on my phone… text messages too. What is up with that nonsense? I don’t get too much spam here or in my email but my phone has been bombarded the past month or so.
- X-Factor is amazing… there are some incredible singers coming through that show. Much better than Idol has been… although Phillip Phillips is really, really good.
- On Sundays all us wives/girlfriends take goodies to the coaches at work (I think I mentioned that last week). Today I made the lemon bars. They were well received… it even involved a bit of baking, which is something I don’t really do much at all. Or ever.
- When I came home, I found a kamikaze hummer on my porch…. I’m sad now.
- He must’ve smashed right into the side of the tin can… his little neck was broken.
- There are thousands and thousands of hummers here. I guess they hang around down here in the winter months. I like that. We didn’t see many of the little things when living in Austin. I will have to get the feeder out. I walked past one of the tin cans here yesterday that has about 10 hummer feeders in the yard! I don’t know that I could keep up with that much sugar water ha!
- It has just started raining. I bet by the time I’m finished typing up this post the rain will have stopped. At least we’ll get a few minutes of it though.
- Football was not good. Both the JV & varsity teams lost this week. But once again, they are playing better & better each week. Progress IS being made. I know the coaches & players are very frustrated though. They just have to remember it’s a young team with most players without any previous experience. And they are scoring points every week…
- I’m getting more & more inquiries about photos. I possibly have a party job coming up… and parents are going to start ordering photos as well. Maybe I’ll be earning my keep soon.
- Time to get back to editing…. hope everyone is having a great weekend!
- Fall is in the air. Sort of.

I'm a gypsy, romantic, music-lover, book-lover, creator, mother, daughter, lover, friend. I have lived in many places and had many experiences both good and bad. I love knowledge....learning new things and teaching others. I believe in a higher power...for each of us that may be something different but for those of us who believe, it's all the same. It doesn't matter what you call your maker or that high power...the most important thing is to believe - and that believing makes you a better person. I do my best to fill my world with loving kindness and compassion. And now I'm learning to live with multiple sclerosis... 
Have you registered your cell phone number with the national Do Not Call list? I know some people don’t think it helps, but it does. Plus when you receive a spam call on your phone tell them you have registered and will report them for harassment if they call again. Don’t know anything that will help with text messages though.
We are registered with Do Not Call…. I don’t know what to do about spam texts either. I’ve blocked the phone number through my provider. Hopefully that works for text messages too…. what a pain in the arse!
Poor little hummer. We have an increase in spam calls on our home phone but so far my cell only gets a few per month. Wonder why the increase? Bet your wondering also. I stopped most of my text spams on the cell by text ing back STOP – this has worked out so far.
I’ve sent the stop message to them, some have stopped but others continue. Gets aggravating LOL
Poor little bird. Other than the zoo, I’ve never seen a hummingbird! Glad the lemon bars turned out. The team will get better and better — stay positive!
I have had hummers every place I’ve lived in during the migration season… they were around for a few months before moving on. We always put out feeders. They are fun little birds to watch.
I feel so bad for the coaches & players. They are working so hard. I know that they will be a strong team in the upcoming years but it’s hard for them to remember that I think.
Ooooh hummingbirds. They seem so exotic and I would love to be in an area that was filled with them. I join you in mourning the kamikaze fellow.
They are interesting little birds. Fun to watch. The way they can just hover in mid air with those little wings moving so fast!!
