First of all I wanted to mention that there is a customer at work who insists on calling me Candy. I’ve never once answered the phone with that name and I almost always go by Candace. The only people who have ever really called me Candy is The Husband and my little sister. She keeps calling and asking for “Candy” and when she leaves me voicemail she starts out with “Hi Candy, this is…” and so on. I find it quite hilarious that this lady I’ve only ever talked to on the phone a handful of times is already getting on such a personal level with me. I mean, what is the proper etiquette in this situation? Do I start making up cute little nicknames for her as well?

Second I wanted to mention that the elephant ear bulb I planted earlier this year is now blooming in my front garden. I planted 5 hosta bulbs last night and I am so psyched about that. I want to buy 100 more elephant ears and hostas and just be surrounded by their beauty. My plan for this weekend is to run by Walmart and pick up some landscaping items. I really just want to grab a few plants or flowers and some mulch. I’ve gotta get some of my front garden area under control. I think if I do a little bit this year I can do more next year. Anything is better than what is currently going on, seriously! It’s like a pile of disgusting weeds. I’ve also found that Walmart sells about the same stuff as Home Depot and it is sometimes 25-40% cheaper than The Depot. Love ya Depot but in a time where gas is almost $4 a gallon, I just can’t pay $5 for a bag of mulch that is $2 at The Wal*marts.

So I’m also planning on finally downloading the pictures off of my camera that have been sitting there for a week. And I also want to work with my sewing machine a little bit. And and and. That is my life, full of Ands. The Ifs and Buts aren’t really in the picture anymore but the Ands sure do tend to take over everything.
