awake, barely

Stayed up to watch Joan of Arc last night...wish they'd have said it was a two-parter. Pretty interesting, actually, and Lelei (sp?) is a neat actress. They had such gorgeous horses in it as well. Will have to watch the second half on Wed, or at least tape it.

Woke up this morning confused as to whether it was the right time or an hour late, but thankfully, it was the right time. Nothing like running around frantically to start off a Monday, so I'm glad that didn't have to happen. *G*

Went hiking on a fairly spur of the moment thing yesterday afternoon....decided it was too hot to bother with the camera and I had just taken it last week anyway.....dumb idea! LOL. I'll be taking it with me from now on, even if I only take two or three pictures it'll be worth it. Saw the neatest little lizards on the way back...they were basically the size of a salamander, but more squat, and they had these triangular scales and were tri-colored in pattern....very interesting! They froze above their little dens and just let me watch them for a couple of minutes. And then later a vulture flew *right* overhead....felt like only 10 feet or so! lol. And then down near the barn a woodpecker flew right at me and then past up the hill...*sigh* Probably wouldn't have gotten that one on film, but still! It's the whole idea of missing some good shots. LOL.

*note to self: look for said lizard/reptile online*

Ack. Hope everyone survives Monday! ^__^

FOUND it!

Western Fence Lizard

Whoo! Yay for Google, cuz that site didn't come up under the other search I tried. ^__^

hahaha....weird!

Today's been an interesting day. I hate, hate, hate being bored at work. I'd rather be busy, as long as there's no huge deadlines that mess everything up and make it horribly stressful. But, it should level out here shortly...in fact, with R and H being gone for two weeks, it probably will reach the horribly stressed point. Oh well. I'm almost thinking that's better than being bored at this very moment. LOL. I'll regret saying that, just you watch. *G*

Took a longer lunch today so I could run over to the credit union to see...how warm the water was. Turns out, it's not as cold as I was fearing! I'm going back in tomorrow with the necessary additional information, and do the actual application for an fha loan. *excited, nervous, sick to her stomach and bouncy with possibilities* We'll see what happens...I still don't know that it'll go through, but at least it's not totally laughable either. O.o
