Woke up a little after 5 am because my neck was aching (I have congenitally fused cervical vertebrae) and now I can't get back to sleep.   I see a nap happenin' later in the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TheEx has been doing field work in Ireland for the past two weeks and so I've been hanging out with TheDaughter all day, every day (now that school's out) and I have to say it hasn't been too bad.  As far as 13-going-on-30-year-olds go, she's still pretty pleasant to be around.  Right now she still likes to talk to me about just about everything (at a million words a minute), but she also enjoys doing her own thing and having time to herself during the day.  Which means I get my down time too...which is good.  Really, really good.  For me and for those around me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TheFiance and I are still looking for a decent, pet-friendly rental in the hopes for moving in together next month.  As soon as the world awakens this morning and it's a decent hour, I need to make some calls to get details about a few places and hopefully, set up some viewings.

And I'm not even posting it on a Friday, but a Saturday.  Awesomesauce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And...here we go!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;TheFiance and I are currently looking for a rental &lt;/span&gt;home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  My favorite thing for dinner lately has been &lt;strong&gt;anything on the grill and tomato salad&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;Annoying dogs do nothing but continuously&lt;/strong&gt; bark! bark! bark!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.  A nice long walk &lt;strong&gt;nearly always helps my mood if I'm in a funk...the tough part is getting off my lazy ass and taking one&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;strong&gt;I love to get me&lt;/strong&gt; some good news.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.  When all is said and done, &lt;strong&gt;the most important thing to me is being able to go sleep at night knowing I did my best that day and that the people I love know that I love them&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.  And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to &lt;strong&gt;spending time with TheFiance&lt;/strong&gt;, tomorrow my plans include &lt;strong&gt;spending time with TheDaughter and reading&lt;/strong&gt;, and Sunday, I want to &lt;strong&gt;work in the garden and enjoy the sun&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8793202547543763159-162810270770956304?l=babblingbabsblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://babblingbabsblog.blogspot.com/feeds/162810270770956304/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8793202547543763159&amp;postID=162810270770956304' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8793202547543763159/posts/default/162810270770956304'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8793202547543763159/posts/default/162810270770956304'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://babblingbabsblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/friday-fill-in.html' title='Friday Fill-In'/><author><name>babblingbabs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13578404094946767536</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3ME-XrTPN38/ShwhA2sv5mI/AAAAAAAAAAU/pFZRjwpOjZM/S220/babblingbrook.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
