    Going to the state fair this weekend. On my agenda: Get an up-close look at various chicken breeds, as I'm planning on being a Chicken Lady next spring!

      Being a Chicken Lady is great fun! I like Buff Orpingtons.

    Got several packs of washi tape for half price today, so now my bullet journal is useful AND looks cool.

    Here's another regional pronunciation question: Do you say "shone" so it rhymes with shown--or so it sounds like shawn?

      Short 'o'. I'm Australian, so British pronunciation.

    I accidentally just used the word "tricksy" at work. At least I didn't talk about the nasty Hobbitses.

    I don't want no scrub. A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me.

    I have my first-ever mammogram tomorrow. At least it's just a baseline, but I'm not looking forward to it.

      Thanks for the good wishes! It wasn't a pleasant experience by any means, but it was no big deal at all. Whew!

      Glad it's over and done! I don't look forward to my first, so happy to hear it's not too bad.

      Just chiming in to say they're not so bad; I had my first baseline a few months ago. It goes quickly and the techs are usually great!

    I knew the mild winter would catch up with us, but blizzard-like conditions on April 30 are a bit much.

      Yep. It was a hit-and-run snow storm for us yesterday. It started on Friday, got a good few inches, and it's mostly gone now.

    I love that our new printer works with my iPad.

    I may be biased, but the skit my DD wrote for our 4-H club is funny stuff.

    I suppose I better put "shave legs" on my to-do list if we're going to the pool tomorrow.

    If today's Google doodle is any indication, I'm a terrible horseman and would've been fired my first day on the job as a Pony Express rider.

    1. Southern Ivy

      Southern Ivy

      Cacti, rain barrels, roping - I only got 30 letters delivered. I'd have been fired!

    2. idnib

      idnib

      I would have been fired as well, had I not been killed several times by cacti, snow, and bandits.

    3. Renai

      Renai

      I only picked up 28 letters the first time. Then thought I should quit before I get fired.
