Day 80

Today was still too hot. And there was so much stuff to do at the art gallery and problems were ever worse because the computer and internet kept acting up. Our database never goes crazy, but it kept screwing up a few times today.

And I'm helping to hang a show tomorrow and that means hot weather, air conditioned art gallery, and hanging so many pieces everywhere. It's not going to be easy and I'm dreading it. I like the shows after I hang them, but I don't like the hanging of the shows.

I also treated myself to some sort of Mountain Dew drink. Normally I don't like Mountain Dew, but this was a citrus flavor and I really like citrus flavors. I still have to try it though. Not sure if it actually tastes like Mountain Dew though.

Day 79

Today was so damn hot. After saying goodbye to my uncle, I went outside with cookies I "made" and it sucked outside. It was over 90 degrees. I'm OK with less that 65, but when it's this hot, I'm worried I'll pass out. I get ever so crabby in this weather that I kept swearing like a sailor.

I also went to Borders today. I got A Lot Like Love after I had them order it online for me. I'm not sure if I said this or not. But I know I posted my "Top Ten in General".

It's uniquely written and witty. While it's really funny, it has its touching and moving moments that are really sweet and thoughtful. That's makes it a good dramedy.

Day 78

My uncle came over today and the funny thing is that I had forgot about it. I think he
s traveling through twice this week, but he's not sure if he's going to do Thursday.

He lives in Singapore with his wife and kids, but they own a house in Florida. I've been to his place in Florida, but I don't think I ever want to vacation there again. The weather isn't right for me.

Also this evening, I went on a bike ride with him. Can you believe it? I actually rode a bike. I am not a bike rider. But I didn't ride i since a Fourth of July parade in 2010 and I didn't even ride the whole parade. I rode promoting the art gallery and my ass was hurting so a friend rode my bike instead. He did some riding more than I did and was having more fun.

I don't think I'd ever ride my bike in a while from now though. It's not easy.

Day 77

I've been trying to figure out a place to go for my birthday dinner. And I was confident to choose a place that I've never been to before. And since I went to Applebees and Red Lobster in Duluth, those were out.

And I chose Benihana. Kind of hypocritical because I've been there once before. I always told myself that I wanted to go and when my birthday came around last year I chose TGI Fridays. That was my 2nd TGI Fridays birthday dinner in a row. Both times they didn't even sing "Happy Birthday" because I never tell restaurants.

I was going to search Check, Please but I never got around to it. I still have time to choose a place though, but I'll be fine with Benihana even though I wanted to go to a place that I've never been.

By the way, my birthday is not today. It's before the 20th, though. I remember one or two of the clues, but now I'm on the year of when I was born.

I said in the first clue that I was born between 1980 and 1989. This time I'll narrow it down to this: January 1st, 1985 to December 31st, 1989. So I can't be older than 26.

Clue #1: Born between 1980 and 1989
Clue #2: Born between 1985 and 1989

Day 76

Tonight, I invited my brother and sister-in-law and my niece over for dinner to give them their souvenirs from Duluth. I got my brother a shot glass with a lighthouse that says Lake Superior on it - my brother collects fancy shot glasses - and a plaque for their front door that says "A spoiled rotten Aussie lives here". My sister-in-law loves Aussie Shepherds - they have two - and they got a us a plaque from their Tennessee trip that was a Lhasa Apso instead.

Then we got my niece a funny pen and a book with baby animals in it.

I shared pictures of my trip, told them the stories about some photos, and had a good time.

The beginning part of the day was 95 degrees outside, but a minor storm came in and then it got sunny and cooled down to roughly 70.

Day 75

I just put my clean clothes away.

I get so frustrated when I do laundry. I like the feeling of having clean clothes and then knowing I have better things to wear before they have to be wash again when I'm wearing something not my favorite.

But it's the case of my shirts. I have so many that I have no hangers left. Some of my shirts match a hanger that it goes to and I don't want to put another shirt on that special hanger. When I finish putting my clothes away, I have to put some shirts off to the side because all the hangers are gone.

Fortunately, there's a garage sale happening in my subdivision in a few weeks. (A few days after my last Spring post. I won't do summer.) I picked out shirts that I don't wear often and haven't worn in a while, but they're still good. One man's trash is another man's treasure apparently. I went through some shirts and I'll go through other things, too. I just know that I'm going to have more hangers for other shirts, but I also think that might not happen.

The shirts that I put off to the side are still on their respective hangers. Basically I'd be giving the hanger away, too. Unless I don't get rid of the hangers at the garage sale. I'll have to figure that out.

Day 74

I must apologize. I know I've skipped days, but not two in a row. I measured and it's still at day 71. Just 18 more days until June 20th.

Also, I have another clue about my birthday. I already gave 4 or 5 about the date, but this time I'll start with a clue for the year. That way my age will be revealed. Although, I hope no one guesses it because I don't tell my age.

I was born in the '80s. That why I love '80s music. I was born between January 1st, 1980 and December 31st, 1989. I was not born in 1979 or 1990.
