We Survived!


We survived another garage sale! I used to be a once- or twice-a-year garage "seller"; but the last 5 years I have slowed down a bit. After debating the last few weeks, I finally decided to go ahead with the spring sale. Park City does a city-wide sale in the spring and fall. We didn't have a lot of big items to sell, but I had a lot of books, some scrapbooking & stamping items, clothes and a bit of miscellaneous. Did pretty good too - sold quite a few books, and we didn't have much to sack/box up for Goodwill. The kids all worked last night, so Corby and I went to mom's and did her grocery shopping. I visited with her while Corby went to Long John Silver's and got her a piece of fish and 2 hushpuppies. That seems to be her favorite food right now! We had some running to do after we left mom's, then we stopped and grabbed dinner at Hog Wild BBQ. Kaitlin closed last night. That normally means she's done around 11, but she didn't get done until after midnight. Apparently they had about 30 people come into the lobby around 9:45, and not only did they stay until after the 10:00 closing, but they used up a lot of things that Kaitlin had already stocked. So she had to clean the lobby and bathroom, as well as re-stock everything! Corby waited up there for her - for an hour! I would have come home and told her to call when she was done, but it was a nice night, so he sat and dozed in the van!

We did our grocery shopping this morning, since we had such a busy day yesterday. The kids are all working this afternoon and evening; so I'm busy getting laundry done, bills paid, etc. Corby fixed a big salad for dinner! YUM! We don't often buy all the ingredients and make a salad, we usually buy bagged salad (for the convenience); but "the real thing" sounded so much better today! He is also fixing spaghetti and meatballs. Yes, I know I'm lucky that I have a husband who LOVES to cook!

The second picture I posted is of Sugar, our outdoor cat. She has a thing for our chimenea (sp?). This is a picture Kaitlin took of her last fall, hiding inside it. We keep it covered with a big yellow trashbag when we're not using it!

My music for today is Richard Marx - great songwriter and singer!

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
