One hand on my frosted beer mug and one on the garden hose.
While that could be the lyrics to a country western song, no, that's just my morning. To clarify, the beer mug is the vessel for an iced spiced coffee since it's going to be another scorcher here in "The Springs." In the distance the Waldo Canyon fire continues to burn and all over town the smoke has settled into a haze. The garden hose is not an analogy for my life right now, but I really am standing here watering my tomatoes, lone Chardonnay vine, herbs, and flowers ... all the while wishing for rain.
On the lighter side I've just returned from the U-Haul store with nifty packing materials. On the radio is this cute little song with lyrics that go something like this:
OK, here's the real song - and can I get a "three snaps up and a rewind" for that young shirtless lad how stinkin' cute this video is (and her shoes)? Particularly when she falls off the car...
And we can see why the lyrics will forever be changed in my mind ... "♬ But here's my wine glass. ♬ So fill it maybe..."
Maybe I should switch from the beer mug to the wine glass as the moving company is due here any minute to bestow upon my household an estimate for moving it 7.1 miles across town. Good times. Especially if my movers are cut like the young lad in the video.

Waiting for an estimate from a removal company...that calls for strong liquor...
ReplyDeleteVery cute,Val.It doesn't matter if you are moving 7 miles or 700 hundred miles, everything has to be packed up in those damned boxes.Hope all goes smoothly.
ReplyDeleteIf I wasn't driving as much of my own stuff across town as possible to cut down on moving costs, you know I'd have a sippy cup of something strong around my neck for the next month... :)
ReplyDeleteAs far as that video, I remember those DAYS!!
ReplyDeleteCute, right? Just wish I could get the song out of my head now. Thank goodness for the "new lyrics." xo
ReplyDeleteValerie, how close is the fire to you? Is your new house in any kind of danger? I hope all the chaos of the fire hasn't slowed down your move. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the new lyrics! That's how I'm going to sing it from now on too :)
ReplyDeleteStay safe there in the Springs. The fire is on the news here this morning and I'm getting a little worried x
Good morning, ladies - The fire is still on the other side of town. Other than sorting through my current pile of donations to see what can be diverted for the evac victims, am still pressing with the move. The new home is a little closer to the chaos, but still safe. This really is devastating to our community and to know our beautiful city will never be the same in this life time, compounded by the loss of hundreds of beautiful homes (some in areas we were looking to buy in just weeks ago!) is heart wrenching. I'll be writing about it later ... and how a glass of wine was just what a couple of folks needed last night. Hugs to all!
