I have an excuse for everything.

Since today is shopping day, I got all gussied up put in my contacts and realized yet again that Ed's right about something - the state of our house, namely cobwebs. See, for 11 (or 12?) years I've been telling him that because I see poorly with my glasses I just simply don't see those nasty little suckers and believe me, this is fundamentally true. I still have nightmares about the time Ed got out a big huge light and took me over to a normally dark corner. Oh the horror! I swear you'd think the Munster's live here. So this morning I ran upstairs to grab something and the light was shining just right..... oh. my. God. Somebody really needs to clean these cobwebs out. Then I realized that it is really part of my job since I'm home.

I went and to my contacts out.

And then I went shopping where I learned along the way that I have single handedly changed the agriculture community in this area. No really, I have. I am a force to be reckoned with. Those of you who know me probably already knew that, but now so do many others. You've seen me complain about the hay situation 'round these parts now since early spring. Well, I've been calling around to all the farmers on my list constantly asking for hay updates. "Have you got it cut?" "Did you plant more?" "Are you going to have anymore this year at all?" I do this frequently. So imagine my delight when I noticed seven, that's SEVEN, newly planted hay fields sprouting up along the 10 mile stretch of road into town. Wow! I had no idea the power of my persuassion! Even Ed joined in the adulation. "Hey hon, did you notice that field just the other side of the S-curve has hay coming up? That's new this year too!" I am sooo good! I mean, half those farmers I probably never even called but they just heard about the nagging woman at the crazy farm who calls all the time fussing about no hay and that alone was enough to spur them into action. At least that's my story. And I'm sticking to it.
