No pictures to post today. Just a "working" day of vacation. Corby took the day off too and we CLEANED! Yuck! My least favorite thing to do! He cleaned out the garage, and packed up all the hazardous paint/chemicals/etc. to take to the Hazardous Waste Facility. Since we had to clean out mom's house pretty fast, we just loaded up all that stuff and brought it here, knowing we had stuff of our own to get rid of. He had planned on taking it today, but the HWF isn't open on Monday, so he will take it on his way home from work tomorrow. They are open until 5:30. I spent the day going thru the office area of the basement. This is my scrapbooking/cardmaking/computer playing area, and it needed a major cleaning. I had boxes of paperwork we packed up from mom's, as well as totes of photo albums, etc. to get organized. I'm about 90% done tonight. Still have some filing left to do, but otherwise I got it all cleaned, dusted and swept. I took a break this evening when Corby grilled some KC Strip steaks; and another break to watch "Wild Hogs" which Kaleb rented at Leeker's tonight. We have been trying to rent it since it came out on DVD. We saw it at the theatre and enjoyed it. My only complaint about the movie is that I think they overdid the fight scene at the end. But I love the scene where the guys are skinny dipping and the family comes up to swim. Too funny!
For now, I am finishing up some laundry and continuing to read the BTK book. It's quite interesting to get into the minds of the police, especially Ken Landwehr. He went to Bishop Carroll too, though he graduated 2 years before me. I remember when he played Tevye in "Fiddler on the Roof". He was really good in the part.
My music choices today were quite varied - from Blake Shelton and Keith Urban to Sheryl Crow and Five for Fighting to Chris Tomlin and Michael W Smith.
Day Two of vacation includes taking mom to a doctor's appointment in the morning. Hopefully the rest of Tues. and all of Wednesday I can have some ME time! Want to do a bit of scrapbooking and card making. Oops, changed my mind. Want to post 2 pictures of pages I made of Brandon's graduation pictures. Here's the left page:
Here's the right page:
The left page has the lyrics to a Michael W. Smith song that I posted a few weeks ago - "How To Say Goodbye". These are just simple scrapbook pages. I tend to stick to simple pages, rather than the over-embellished elaborate pages that other people do. Just a simple gal, I guess! Anyway, it's a fun hobby, and I enjoy doing it. Now if I only had more time to spend on it! Oh well, maybe someday!
Today's quote is from Lucille Ball: "The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age." Ya gotta love Lucy!
