The things I didn't do on Saturday
Mmmmm tired today, I think Friday night is catching up with me. I didn't nap on Saturday at all and went to bed fairly late. That's the trouble with working longer hours, you just want some life in there somewhere too and what suffers is sleep time. I had wanted to go out to the farm to see Vegetable Man, yesterday was a beautiful autumn day. But he was working.
It was so nice that I even had the ferrets outside a bit in the afternoon. They look like wild ceatures but have thin fur and get cold easily so can't tolerate cold weather well. I had to go and buy some household supplies, cleaned the house a little, went through my piles of junk mail (but I open the good stuff and bills right away). The scone club didn't meet yesterday and it's been weeks. My friend HIR (home improvement, rural) has been working on an exhibit at the museum and can't get away even for a quick lunch. The two married friends and I were going to drive to an apple festival on Saturday, but something came up for them. So I missed all of them. What DID I do all yesterday anyway? I may not have been napping but I must have been sleepwalking!
Today would have been a great day for another meme, but, wait--I have one!
I found this one at Restless Angel’splace a while ago. She had a bunch of cool stuff to do.

Life changing game
The minister drove into a sand trap. He picked up his golf club, broke it but didn't say a word.
Then he picked up the golf bag and tore it to shreds but didn't say a word.
He then took out all the golf balls and flung them into the woods but did not say one word.
Finally he muttered, "I'm going have to give it up."
"Golf?" asked the caddie.
"No" he replied. "The ministry."
The Lord’s Army
Jack was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands.
The preacher grabbed Jack by the hand and pulled him aside. The pastor said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!" Jack replied, "I'm already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor."
Pastor questioned, "How come I almost never see you except at Christmas and Easter?"
Jack whispered back, "I'm in the secret service."
Yeah, OK, this has gone on long enough. Have a great Sunday!

I know how you feel being so wound up and not getting much sleep, but yeah, it does catch up on you. I've been tempted but never tried to date women that were best friends because I loved our friendship and was afraid I'd ruin it if something went awry. Glad you quit the cigarettes. Good for you!
Good meme. I like your answers.
I dated a man once who I was good friends with, well, we were actually kind of...well, you know.
I talk to him occasionally, and we both act as if we don't have that between us.
That was a long time ago, and it didn't take us long to figure out that we just weren't compatible in that department and it just petered out.
Ok, you HAVE to tell me about the "Turtle" ice cream. It really isn't made from turtles is it? LOL.
interesting answers---I was going to do t but I'm sitting here in a towel, so it doesn't seem like the right time. I'm so modest.
I just finished watching Napoleon Dynamite. I always learn something new about you from the memes...good reading. Try to have a good work week coming up!
I could read your stuff for a long, long time. Right now, I'm SO trying to catch up a little.
My first car was also a Mustang ... and I can't believe your last cigarette was in April! I hadn't realized you ever smoked, then hadn't realized you quit! Good for you. Perhaps one of these days I can get to post about doing the same. Of course, I'll be ready to kill everyone in sight, but who knows?
