"Well this is going to be as exciting as "watching paint dry" ? I don't remember the last time. I do remember when we only had one TV and my wife wanted to watch her novella. I am not into soaps and I am really not into Mexican Soaps. Especially since back then my Spanish was non existant.
Last things that you thought would be as exciting as "watching paint dry" but turned out to be a lot more interesting/fun ? It turns out that those novellas have some really nice looking woman in them. My wife banned me from watching one of those shows. It was one that she wasn't keeping up with but I would watch it. She asked me why I was watching it without her since I didn't speak Spanish. I told her that with this show you don't need to know Spanish to like it. After watching it with me I was told that maybe I should change the channel. LOL

Well, Mrs. Tek got sick, too. Luckily hers was fairly short lived and not as violent as mine. I'm still in and out of feeling okay then feeling like crap. It is definitely the flu or something like it, not food poisoning.
Weird year. I haven't had a cold or the flu for about four years and I get both this year.
Grass!!! The grass I planted out front two weeks ago tomorrow is going gangbusters! The seed I planted out back last Wednesday is starting to pop through the Curlex. It's been raining enough I've not had to water, and it's supposed to rain off and on the next two days. Then it's back into the dangerous heat indexes.
Everyone have a great evening!
