I like this girl.

Mostly because she's the only friend I have left that will probably not have children before me.  I think we're competing on who will hold out the longest.  I also like her because she brings me fresh eggs from the hens she keeps on her front porch.  Ok, maybe they're not on her porch, but I imagine them that way.  I haven't been to her farm since she got them.  She is my real-life Pioneer Woman. 

Today we drove up to Danville to meet her and her tall-drink-of-water husband, Chad.  We ate at a random place and then Justin and I got to try out The Hub Coffee House.  I'm definitely going back there. 

Today when I woke up, Bailey's left eye looked like this.  I quickly awakened Justin because I thought her eye socket was hanging out.  After an expensive trip to the vet it was discovered that her third eyelid [third??? really???] was hanging out due to swelling from a small scratch on her cornea.  Hopefully this will be correct soon and not turn into a surgery.  We just got her spade last week.  I don't think my wallet can take any more for right now. 

Right now I'm watching an old episode of Julia Child making a halo cake.  It makes me feel like superwoman because she made so many mistakes and yet look what she accomplished!  I must attribute some of my ability to her, though, for without her trailblazing this "servantless cook" would not be what I am. She was fearless and brilliant all at the same time.

I promise I have many interested blogging topics coming up, including theological thoughts, environmental ideas, and the ever-interesting subject of my thumbs.  That'll keep you coming back for more, won't it?

Ciao.
