TIRES AND RIMS

Widely scattered thunderstorms developing around mid-afternoon. Mostly cloudy with temperatures steady near 81F. Winds WSW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 30%.

I was looking forward to those storms today. They did not amount to a hill of beans.

Nothing exciting going on around here yesterday, Sunday. Went grocery shopping and bought the ingredients for a shrimp stir fry for dinner and I also invested in a rice steamer. I can never get my rice quite right. So I though I would try this. I don't think the rice was cooked just enough so I am going to keep experiementing. I think maybe I just didn't use enough water. Also it was a little brown on the bottom. Anyone have any clues?

Why can someone tell me why. All I seem to do all day is go around after my husband pushing the chairs in where he just sat. Kitchen at the counter, dinning room on the side he eats dinner, on the other side where he might read a magazine, on the other side where he may look at the mail, all around the dinning room table, everytime he sits he never pushes in a chair.

I worked until 1 today and came home. Checked in on my neighbor she had her grandaughter's baby all was ok there so I went home and whipped up a pan of baked ziti. My daughter was off from work today so she stopoped in to eat. My brother stopped by but he only wanted to eat the watermelon that he brought so I sliced that up and we sat on the front porch and chatted and ate watermelon.

We went with my daughter tonight to a tire store, yea that's exciting. She just bought this "new to her" used car. An Acura TL, black with black leather interior, so in the shadow of her father, he taughter her well, she wanted to put new tires and rims on it, some sort of fancy rims. Husband was all into this. So we spent about an hour at the tire and rim store, didn't even know there was such a thing. Luckily for me it was right next door to a soft ice cream place. Well not so lucky for me because of the calories involved, but lucky for me because I had somethng to look forward to. I don't really like soft ice cream, there is just something fake about it. This ice cream placed did not have hard ice cream so I had to settle, lucky for me they were able to flavor the soft ice cream, this was new to me so I had them flavor it with coffee. After the ice cream was eaten daughter was able to make a decision and the rims and tires were bought. Oh, and while we are shopping for the rims and tires, she is taking pictures of the rims and sending them off to her best girl friend and a guy she knows who lives in Conneticut via text messaging, wow the world of technology. Lucky for her the guy behind the counter was happy to be spending all this time with a pretty girl who knew a little about tires and rims.
