What I was doing at this time LAST YEAR

FROM A LETTER TO MY FRIEND, SHIRLEY, IN PENSACOLA, FL:

"Today is the 1st day our heat index was even showing up anything-near 90 but the temp is about 85. Rain rain clear all weekend then two more days of rain.
The sunflowers that I planted all around the street sides of the fence around the yard are gonna be huge. GOODY.
I'm at a 4 way stop and every one can see in the house if my drapes are open - not to mention the BUMP BUMP BUMP - noise. I gotta have SOME privacy. So I plant huge sunflowers all the way around the house. When they come down in the Fall, I feel nekkid'.

I have an appraiser coming Monday - so I am painting a few things today to cover up water spots (my bedroom ceiling) and cleaning - besides the studying with Linz this weekend.
As soon as I am done with this email I am going to paint the walk up stairway to the attic. There's another bedroom up there. Plus storage...It's HUGE the whole size of the house. If I could add a stairway from the living room instead of the stairs going up from the laundry room (very narrow too I could double the value of the house.
I am getting refinanced - I am currently in a predatory loan and the Fair Housing Dept is helping me get tout of it. Want more info just ask. Long story.

Other than that. Nothing for me. no love life at all since Larry left me last July.
Linz saw him on the bus 2 days ago and she said Mom - his teeth are getting bad. YUK. You are better off. I totally agree. But Ii still miss him every day.
Another ex (Donnie) stopped by, the last night of the American Idol singing competition (I was so upset! I was flipping between the Country Music Awards - I wanted to see Carrie Uunderwood sing "Jesus take the Wheel" - and American Idol, and I missed the last half of them both.) We went for a walk - he wants me to like him but I just don't feel romantical about him, and I can't help it. Too bad, too, because he is the sweetest, most thoughtful man I have ever known. There's just no chemistry...He has been my brother's best friend since forever and he is just too young for me. Kinda dorky too, BUT CUTE and super nice. Anyways, we chatted for while about him moving down to Tennessee, and then he left. He only lives about 5 minutes from me by car.
Then my other ex (Doug) stopped by the NEXT DAY - CAN U BELIEVE IT? - It must be a full moon. All these "exes' and no boyfriend for a year. SUX! He just drove by and stopped to say hello. He has been with Jodi for 3 years now. Longest relationship in his whole life except me. We were 3 1/2 years plus 25 more between marriages. He is still so cute. He wants anything but a relationship if you know what I mean. No thanks.
SO no one all winter then 2 in 2 days.

Gotta go - write soon
Love ya and miss ya.
