Twas a bee-zy day today

Lots accomplished today. I made a plan and followed it. Big surprise! Everything I wrote down to do, I did and crossed it off, and then some. And it was hot again. Not exactly HELL hot...but hot enough.

I want a cake. I know I have ooh-ed and ahh-ed over the poke and pour cake, and the shortcake...but now I am thinking about a pineapple upside down cake. What I seriously need to do is quit thinking about cake completely, but I am using this logic. If I make one...and eat a big fat piece...I probably won't want any more! Yeah, right!! But I still want a cake. And possibly a pie........

It's official. No fireworks whatsoever in Alpine. As of 2 weeks ago, if you can believe it, there was still a possibility. A sanctioned and professionally directed fireworks display. There are no fireworks even being sold in Alpine. But today I called the organizer of the 4th of July celebration which will be held at the park...and there are absolutely no fireworks at all. They are still  having a display in Fort Davis which is crazy since that's where the 300,000 acres fire was! There is no accounting for some peoples logic. But we will still have a parade here in Alpine with lots of horses and firetrucks and crazy people and then the festivities at the park. They have food and craft booths and most likely those jumping things for the kids and then a band in the evening.

The first year we got here, I set up a booth there. It was screaming hot and very little shade. Some people were milling around during the day but the bulk of them didn't show up until after 5 (duh!) and then I sold several hundred dollars of stuff. By then I was so burned and hot I didn't give a shit! Even if I had the time now, I do not have the inclination nor desire to set up this year and intentionally kill my self from heatstroke. I wouldn't sell enough to cover the burial!

So I will make and eat a cake.

I sure hope something is on this TV tonight...I don't feel like reading (slight headache) and I don't feel like watching Swamp People all night. It might be a pick out a movie night and I think it's my turn. No war. No cowboys. No war. Comedy. Funny funny comedy. That sounds good.

Gotta go eat something...may be back...or not! Have a nice night!
