since i can’t figure out how to make the folds only show up on expanded posts, i’m going foldless again. i hate when i’m too dumb to do stuff. there was a time (ever so long ago) that i truly believed i was an intelligent person who could learn anything. granted, that was when i was a stupid teenager who had it all figured out. the cockiness of youth, eh?

yep, it was a nice, take-it-easy kind of day. after sleeping in a bit and a nice breakfast, we went to see the dark knight. phenomenal. truly up to the hype. hubby, who really doesn’t get into movies at all, stated that it was the best movie he’d seen in quite some time. we then went to a park, looked at some condos that are going up for auction, and had dinner out. all that adds up to a very nice sunday in my book. shame that it gets followed up by monday.

so i was trying to figure out how to create folds in my entries. i think i finally got it working but the fold link now shows up at the end of every entry whether i have an expansion or not. does anyone know what i need to do to get the fold link to only show up when there is a fold?

after bringing the ‘yaks back up and getting cleaned up, we had a bite to eat and walked down to the country bar at the plaza (after 23:00, we’re so young!). we were sitting in the back getting cooled off a bit after the walk and the guy at the next table started talking to me. i introduced myself and my husband and then he asked me to dance. he did at least ask hubby if he minded and then he led me to the dance floor. i can’t think of what song was playing but it was a semi-slow song so he was very close to me and kept putting my arms around his neck. it was strange. it was really strange. he didn’t try anything funny and when the dance was over, i went back to hubby and that was that. i guess it was a flattering experience, but pretty akward too. hubby and i danced for a couple of hours and then walked back home. it was a fun night.

driving through centre, al there was a stretch of about three miles or so that was lined with flags and crosses with soldiers names and their war. it was beautiful.

our cabin was designed just for me

there were so many gorgeous ducks

unfortunately, there were also a few that i didn’t like at all

i wonder why they call them the smokies?

hungry bird babies

old mill in cades cove

are you looking at me?

chicks dig it when i flex

just so that you know, i felt tremendously guilty seeing these miserable bears but the family wanted to do it, so i was obligated to participate. they were so sad looking.

just look at that tear – heartbreaking

just for my cousin

geesh, the shower is going to be over before i ever get the invitations sent out. i’m in need of a glue stick. i’ve got glue sticks. i don’t know where my glue sticks might be. i’m certain they’re around here somewhere as i remember exactly where that box was when we first moved in but i have no idea what happened to it since. when i get a gluestick, assembly will be completed and i’ll be down to envelope stuffing, stamping, and mailing. yay! there are four addresses i’m still waiting on too.

hey, i did remember to call and assault the answering machine with my “singing” yesterday afternoon.

i’m sure you’ve noticed.  or not.  whatever.  i think my mind is still recovering from three weeks of overload.  there may have been a short-circuit or two so rebooting is taking longer than usual.  that and i’m just not feeling right.  i’ve had heartburn since saturday, which is highly unusual and i’ve had a mega-headache (though, thankfully, not yet migraine) since yesterday afternoon.  today i was supposed to be back in the gym but i just feel icky.  i know that’s a crummy excuse but i really was looking forward to getting back into the gym today (in a i-still-loathe-the-gym-but-am-desperate-to-get-smaller kind of way).  i plan to go back through my pix from pigeon forge and insert a few back into the appropriate entries.  i’ll let you know when that gets done.  the little bit of non-work brain time i’ve had has been going toward bridal shower planning.  and, by the way, have i started on that laundry yet???

and couldn’t be happier about it. we stopped at the spinal center for a couple of hours to visit with hs. I’ll have more to say about that when i have an actual computer to type on. we should be home way late but i was able to switch shifts with a coworker tomorrow so i don’t have to work until 08:00. the extra hour will be appreciated.

after staying up far too late talking without friends, i got a good (though short) night’s sleep. we then got up far too early to make the commute into the old office. i had almost forgotten how much commuting sucks. unfortunately, i won’t be seeing my favorite buddy as he is off today and tomorrow. however, i did get to go to my favorite mexican place for lunch! it was every bit as yummy as I remember and i truly hurt myself. i just couldn’t help it. tomorrow I’ll be visiting my favorite italian place around here. yay for yummy visitations!

the in-laws left early this morning and we aren’t expected at b&j’s until 21:30 so we have had a wonderful day of just the two if us. fabulous, it is. we took it easy getting out of the cabin and then stopped on top of the mountain to walk up to clingman’s dome. over the mountain, we stopped and wasted a little time around cherokee before continuing south to waste more time in gainesville. we are now headed toward b&t’s to continue loafering around until they get home from church. it’s been a great day.

i feel much better after a nice, quiet nap. i think all three of us got a bit of rest before deciding to head back to town. the in-laws still haven’t returned from their day-tripping and we haven’t been able to reach them by phone so i guess their off having a good time. we’re at a little pan in town. hubby and nephew played frisbee while i walked some laps around the park (i’d guess two miles). we then walked down to the river together to talk to the ducks. there was a momma with some brand new hatchlings and we had a good time watching them. they even came up on the bank a few feet in front of us several times. the strange part was when the momma flew off above the dam, leaving her babies behind. we watched in bewilderment for several minutes and the babies were frantic for their momma. finally momma came to the edge of the dam and looked down at them for quite a while like she actually expected them to fly up there with her but she knew better than that. she did eventually come back down and they flocked to her anxiously. i was just astounded. i’ve never seen any of my ducks abandon their chilluns like that. did i mention that my hubby also held up mountain traffic to rescue a turtle in the road. we are now getting ready to play some putt-putt with the group.
