~ Hump Day ~

:::smiling::: Hi folks! I hope this finds you well. I did get by to some of the alerts earlier and will try to get to more in a bit. I had a few errands to run after dinner so I had to stop, sorry if I haven't been by yet. I will :)

I took my camera while running errands. Yesterday while I was coming home from my sisters I passed a small park that had more geese then you could imagine. I was going to be passing the park again so I thought I'd have the camera in case. No such luck there, but I did pass a house that had horses out so I stopped. I thought this one was a beauty. As I stood at the side of the road he came right to the fence. I didn't want to get to close, but I did get some nice shots. No doubt you'll see the others down the road.

I had to stop at a store this evening. I viewed the worst temper tantrum I've ever seen. I've seen many, believe me. This was a young girl, maybe 8 or 9. Old enough to know better. She was screaming at her Mom and throwing things. 'I want that one!' Mom replied with, 'no you just got 5 for your birthday you don't need another' This went on and on. The child even called her Mother a bitch. Mom had such restraint not to smack her right there. I was not at the best angle, but as I walked down the aisle I could see what she was screaming about. I'd never heard of them before. I must be sheltered! LOL Well, probably because my son is 21. She was wanting a Webkinz. Anyone out there familiar? Apparently they are a bit of a knock off of the beanie baby but they come with a secret code. You get the code and go to their web site where you can care for your virtual pet. Play kids games, and get virtual cash. Oh brother I see this turning into a mess. :::giggle::: and I am going to start it. Bug's birthday is next week and I think I am going to buy her the pink poodle as part of her gift. It was adorable. I'm so bad, eh?

The day was pretty uneventful. Work, work, and more work. Errands, errands, and more errands. I did get caught up on tags, and again I do apologize for the delay in getting 'oh happy day' back to you. I just had no idea I'd be so tired last night. Tired I was. I turned my TV on as I always do. LOL yeap it acts as a night light. Funny thing, I need that sound to fall asleep. Anyway, fall asleep I did. Immediately! I don't even know what was on. I slept right through to this morning and then woke up with a headache. A throbbing headache that just did not quit. So no, Bill, I did not feel great and it had nothing to do with the Chili!!! LOL I had a department meeting at work and we were working on creating queries in our database. I needed my glasses to see the white board, but can't read close up with them on. So it was a hoot putting them on and taking them off. My tummy didn't find it funny though. At one point I actually felt ill. Between the headache and change in focusing I wanted to die. No worries it was gone by the end of the meeting.

Gonna post a new tag request and then I'm off to read some journals before I get to bed. Hope everyone had a great day!

Hugs

Had to look up what they were too......lol. Not sure if we have them in the Uk yet.
They kind of remind me of the Tamagotchi's that you had to feed and look after

Photo was lovely

Have a great weekend

Oh, the Webkinz are a big hit and craze here right now. I don't like those temper tantrums ... at all.

Which makes me think I should do an entry on one that Emily had years ago! I handled it so perfectly that people who were there still comment on it today.

Love the horse! Hate temper tantrums! I have two with ADD. I broke all three of my kids "I want..." crap by walking away from them. When they realized that they wouldn't get attention at home by throwing tantrums, it occurred to them that if I ignored them in public, they'd be stuck in the toy aisle by themselves. Thank God it never occurred to them that Mom could never really leave them behind.
