Life gets crazy around here sometimes. So crazy that I don’t even have time to write on my favorite day of the week and my wtf Wednesday post gets postponed to Thank God it’s Thursday and for the record, I am.
Not to bitch or anything but I’ve spent about 9 weeks working on a project that really should have been finished weeks ago but I’ve spent the last week redesigning the home page because someone can’t decide what word to use in the damn tagline. It doesn’t sound so bad until you realize that I’ve redesigned it 53 times! Fifty. Three.
Half the people I’ve ever known decided to call me yesterday….WHILE I WAS ON A CONFERENCE CALL!
And when I didn’t answer, half of them decided it would be a good idea to text me.
I really hope I make it to the airport with at least one matching outfit or at least two matching pairs of shoes.
And now for the conundrum, I just found out that the Knoxville Marathon is the day after the wedding and it’s also the only day that I have to spend with my sister other than wedding day stuff. I hadn’t planned on running but I’ve never run the Knoxville Marathon and it’s my hometown……my soles are burning…
What would you do?
So I mentioned yesterday that I was going to tell you all about a couple of books that I’m super excited about and I am, really, I am. I’ll get to that in a few minutes. But first, I have to tell you about the coolest thing I found last night when I was working in my yard.
And yes, it’s sitting on my dining room table. I don’t care. I put it there and I yelled at MacGyver as I was heading out to go for a run this morning.
“Hey Babe, I’m going running, don’t throw out my snake skin!’
He said he wouldn’t and then he proceeded to tell me that when his parents come to dog sit later in the week I better hide it because his Mother is going to be thoroughly disgusted as most women are.
And then I ran and came home and planned on spending a few minutes to find out what kind of snake it came from but I fell down the rabbit hole.
MacGyver and I were looking at the shape of the head and we thought it was a viper but we were obviously basing our findings on the wrong research.
You have to look for a facial pit and a single row of scales.
Boom! Now I was hooked. I spend another two hours taking pictures and looking up snake skins.
It’s hard to make out any facial pits from this view.
Hmmmmm, this view isn’t much better.
So, I’m no closer than were I started but I will find out what kind of snake it is. I think it’s probably a copperhead. And even if it isn’t that’s what I’ll probably tell people.
Now, on to the books.
I have wanted to read this book since it came out. I pre-ordered it forever ago and forgot about it and then I got busy with projects and finally I was able to start it this week. I had hoped to really be half way through by now but then the whole snake thing happened but I’m going on vacation at the end of the week so my review is coming soon. Click on the link above if you want to read a preview.
The second book is one of those juicy stories that is so good you want to wait to read it because you want to savor it and enjoy every second of it. It’s a story I’m familiar with but I want the book to be as good as what I already know. I imagine it to be like Grey Gardens reversed. From butt poor normal to mega wealthy crazy and I can’t wait to read it. Click on the image below for a preview.
Unfortunately, I haven’t read either of them completely yet. Only a few chapters of the first one. I promise to give you a full review once I do.
So long as I don’t get distracted by anymore snake skins.
It’s a good thing I got my run in first thing. At least I got something done.
Do you get easily distracted by nature? How bout by snake skins?
