I thought that I might have some free time yesterday to work on getting some new pictures online but it didn't work out quite as planned.
I had a pretty tough day at work but I did manage to get out of there at a decent enough time. Went straight to the gym and worked out with the weight machines for an hour or so. I'll tell you what, I can certainly feel the difference. I can't see it yet, although the wife says she can.
Once I arrived home I got sucked into watching Independence Day. No matter how many times I've seen that stupid-assed movie, if it comes on I will sit down and enjoy watching it. By the time it was over supper was almost ready. Man, that was good. Pan-fried fish dipped in corn meal, broccoli and green beans cooked in garlic butter and fried potatoes. Probably not so good for the cholesterol but it damn sure tasted great.
I just pretty much surfed the web after that. There were several things I wanted to write about, like the fact that nasty old global warming has caused Montana to get 16" of snow. In fucking May. 16". What's up with that shit? I though even in the rockies heavy snow was over early last month or even in March. Or how about the fact that Obama thinks we have 57 states in the Union. He must have missed the day on geography. I'll bet he thinks Chicago is the capitol of fucking Illinois too. That's something you should know without having to look it up.
Speaking of weather, we have had some pretty crappy stuff moving through west Georgia the last few hours. That's probably the only reason I got out of bed in time to post this prior to going to work. Most of the northern part of the state has been under a tornado watch all night and for a while the thunderstorms got pretty wild. What was possibly a tornado moved through my county, but south of here and heading toward Atlanta. It seems that the worst of it has passed through now. The power went out for a short time and I made sure to get clothes together for the girls in case we had to get in the basement quickly. They got to make pallets on the living room floor last night, which they enjoy doing.
I suppose that's about it this morning. Since I am running a bit short on time today I am just going to add my Green Thumb Sunday to this post :)
Maybe it's cheating but it's certainly expedient...

This is one of the Bougainvillea vines that lives in my backyard. When I get home from work I'll see about posting a better photo than this one. I tokk quite a few pictures the other day and some video of the baby birds under my back deck as well. I just haven't moved them off of the memory card in my camera yet. Depending on what time I get home from work today perhaps I can get some of them online.

LOL you got on such a ramble I think you forgot to write about the spam in your heading. LOL If it was supposed to be about getting tons of spam on your blogs lately I agree ... I've even been getting some comments that when I click to see if the listed url is legit or not have tried to upload a "downloader" Trojan virus. Frustrating. I'm really Leary of approving or visiting sites that I don't know these days.
Your dinner last night sounds great. Maybe a little too much frying but if you don't eat that way often it's probably ok.
Your Bougainvillea vine is beautiful. I have a clematis that has similar looking flowers.
Tricia, yeah I did get off on a tangent. I realized it right after I hit the publish button and by then it was time to go to work so I never fixed it :)
Oh yeah, it is a Clematis by the way. I don't know what the heck I was calling it a Bougainvillea for. Even when you don't count the serious lack of thorns the flowers aren't really similar either.
Your garden looks like you might be from a warmer climate that vine is sure pretty.
Mine is up.
Do you think the vine could actually be some other vine? I've never seen a Bougainvillea like this before. It doesn't have any of the characteristics of Bougainvillea. It's certainly beautiful though. Happy GTS,

Hi..uhmm
That's a clematis dear. The good news is that it doesn't have thorns. Bougainvillea does.
Nancy is correct Aiyana, it is Clematis. I don't know why the heck I have been calling it Bougainvillea. I have one near the back of my yard and I think it's thorns must have gotten stuck in my brain. I have a couple of Clematis vines that I picked out because they are slightly different shades.
Doh!
Keep hittin the gym!! It's easy to be like "Oh ive worked out for the past month I'm going to take a week off..." DONT DO IT!!
I've been at the gym on and off for the past two months and I always fall victim to this. And fast food. You should be good with that though you have someone cooking supper.
Hey,
It’s annoying when you see a movie on tv and say your not going to watch it but you watch 5 minutes of it and you sink into your couch to watch the rest of it!
By the way, garlic butter makes everything taste better, even vegetables ha-ha.
Thanks,
Sarah.
