The good 'ol Ohio valley....sneeze

Ohio! The heart of it all! What they really should have named it is Ohio! The heart of allergies!
I just sneezed for the 453rd time today, and it’s 9:33 a.m. “It’s gonna be a good day tater.”

Ohio summers are hot & humid, the spring is wet and dreary, and winter is bitterly cold, dark, and way too long. Fall is our only reprise. So….why do we live here again? Actually, I know why I live here. I was born here. Not that I haven’t thought about it! I guess I’m just too lazy or stupid to move? I digress.
So the flip side of that question is why would anybody in their right mind move here? I’ve met several transplanted Ohioans. The general census seems to be they did it for love. All I can say to that is……???
One person I’m aquainted with even moved here from Hawaii. Um, hello? Hawaii? Couldn’t you have made HIM move THERE? Would you really have to MAKE him? I mean beaches, ocean, breathtaking beauty, and perfect sunny weather year round or OHIO. Is that really a contest?
I know Ohio does have beauty. Don’t get me wrong. It’s just that -SNEEZE- the pollen and mold have colored my opinion. – SNEEZE-

Things on the house are moving along. I spent last night in the ditch around the foundation spreading gravel and hay. Why? I don’t know. Something about drainage. All I know is Scott said it had to be done so I grabbed a shovel. That was good for the allergies!

Finally, I would like to say that I am having “one of those days” for the following reasons:
#1 I am wearing a skirt w/ a slit in the front –mistake- it’s bugging me
#2 this slip WILL end up in the trash before the days over
#3 My hair is pulled back in a circa 1989 ponytail b/c there is NOTHING else to do w/ it, and if it gets in my face again I may snap
#4 I have sneezed 455 times today. Thank you Ohio valley, I love you. And so does Merk Medco.
#5 this bra may just drive me to the edge today. If my chi chi’s were smaller I might just let it rip
#6 my legs are blinding white. I think I might be legally obligated to hand out sunglasses to anyone that comes near me
#7 if I hear that STUPID song “poker face” by lady Ga Ga –whatever that means- again my radio is going in the trash

Thank you for listening. Amen.
