yep. i have returned and i must say- i hate flying and i hate florida. but hey, we will save all that for tomorrow- and just say... i am back ;) it is very good to be home. for those loyal readers- thanks for keeping up with me- i hope to be back in somewhat of a groove soon. did i mention that i also hate summer?
that's weird. i was kind of getting used to them. it is really quiet around the blogosphere- i guess everyone is on summer break :) i am leaving tomorrow and will return next tuesday from a business trip with hubby to florida. and yes, it is business sponsored ;) every year his place of employ sends the yahoos that earn their way to an all expenses paid 3 day extravaganza to say thanks for making us money. usually it's florida- but next year it'll be puerto rico- so i may enjoy myself. i ain't never been. so, i won't be back online until probably wednesday because coming home from florida is always an adventure with the philthadelphia airport. i hate them and i hate us air- and i have to fly using both. sigh. generally they cancel every flight back to binghamton. last time a group of us rented a car and drove the 3 hours back. and then two days later, they just dropped my suitcase off by cab and left it on the front porch. just left it. good thing i was home- because they didn't tell me it was coming. sigh.
on a happier (or at least cuter note), i have a family of bunnies that live in my yard. i have a tree wind break and they apparently, live there. they come out to feed on the clover in my yard. i say it's cute now, but i haven't planted anything that they like better yet ;) it should be interesting when i do. viva la bunnies ;)
i think i posted like at least a half dozen posts over there- in all categories- so take a peek. i mean if you want to ;)
bush admin. wants north korea off the 'terror list.' my question is why? do they have oil?
mr. betmo and i got really lucky. we are so very happy in our new digs- and the cats have settled in nicely. i have been taking a few pics here and there and will post some periodically- don't want to overdo it ;) there is a nice big yard for gardening, rain barrels- and probably an above ground cistern at some point. i was thrilled to see one family in the neighborhood has solar panels- i hope to have some alternative energy going here in the near future also. all good things... for now, we are learning the quirks of an older house (it's only a year older than me :) and settling and changing a few things.
i still have the apartment yard to contend with- and we have to paint this summer- not happy about that but hey- you have to do it. things to do and a garden at the fam's also- and lord knows we will be canning tomatoes until i never want to see another one. :) happy summer folks. don't forget to plant your garlic in the fall.

i read his book- 'american fascists: the christian right and the war on america' and i have not yet started 'losing moses on the freeway' but hedges is always a good read.
brother tim over at blog of revelation has graciously bestowed upon me the award of arte y pico- and i am thrilled to receive it. i won't give a long winded acceptance speech, hoever, i will simply tell you about the award:
