June Gloom

Do you ever let the blue bug get a hold of you? When it does nothing seems right or fun. I got the blue bug late last week. It's hard to let it go when you get it. I know fretting doesn't do any good but all the same the blue bug is not a reasonable bug. I feel like I have reached a point where I need to make a change but I am not sure what that change is or how to do it. That is what is so depressing..knowing you have the power to change something but being to cautious or lets just say it, afraid to do something about it. This morning I seemed to have a break through and found a spark of excitement but then it was ripped away. Afterward, I knew I wasn't blue anymore but just bored. Oh June Gloom I don't like you. When will the sun come back as I am always a sunnier person when the sun is shining. It's easier for me to be a Pollyanna when I am surrounded by sunshine.

Anyhoo, now that I am bored and not depressed I am trying to conquer the boredom bug. I decided last night that perhaps I should lose myself in a book. So I researched online and according to some "fun beach reads" lists and some "books you should read this summer" lists I have come up with the following books to try and read this summer.

1. Dead Until Dawn aka the Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris (there is 10 of them)
2. The Lost Daughter by Daralyse Lyon
3. Can U Keep a Secret by Sophie Kinsella
4. Talus by Ozan
5. Message in a Bottle by Nicholas Sparks (Wasn't this a Kevin Costner movie? hum not sure on this one)
6. Any Dan Brown book
7. Sorbonne Confidential
8. Water for Elephants
9. Time Traveler's Wife (the lists promise its better than the movie
10. When You Are Engulfed in Flames b David Sedaris

I might also check out the Eagle Rock library. Today I was reminded that libraries exist when the girl who works for me asked if she could leave so she could return some books. I used to remember a time when I had a Burbank library card and I actually used it. So yes, maybe just maybe I will get out of the house and go check this library out because God knows my fried egg of a brain needs some nourishment. Now lets see how many of these books I read. I hereby challenge myself to read these this summer.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of
