Rainy Days and Sundays

Nothing exciting going on in our house today. Well, we did win $7 in the Powerball

drawing last night. Since I spent $5 on the tickets, we made a big $2!!! WHOOPIE!

Kaitlin and I did some Walmart shopping today, much as I hate to go there. She needed some jeans for work, and believe it or not, she'll wear their $16/pair jeans. We raised our kids to believe that you don't have to wear name brand clothes to be cool. Now, they don't wear crap, but they're okay with Target, Kohl's and Walmart clothes. Kaitlin wear her Rascal Flatts t-shirts (she has 11) most of the time anyway - HA! She has to wear shirts with collars to work, so she has an array of polo shirts, but other than that, she's a country girl! Probably why she bought that big ol' truck!

Corby finally got Kaleb's car running again today. We took it on a test drive to Newton. Thank goodness we went before the storms hit!

Other than that it was pay bills, laundry and cleaning house! UGH!

Today's music: Rascal Flatts new CD - Still Feels Good.

Kaitlin picked the CD for our driving today. Big surprise that she chose Rascal (NOT!!!!)

And the quote for the day is from Ralph Waldo Emerson: "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."

VACATION

On vacation for a few days (return to work on Thursday)...here's where I wish I was... I plan on enjoying some peace and quiet...and possibly, if I get motivated, getting some cleaning and organizing done in the office area of the basement. We'll see if that motivation arrives (it's not here yet)... Good news for Park City residents...recycling came to town the first of January. We are charged $4.00 month (added onto our already high water bill); but it has lowered the price of our trash pickup. The company P.C. contracted with has a much lower price than the company we use. Our company matched the price, so our trash bills went down (considerably) AND we get to recycle. We can recycle almost all our plastics, newspapers, cardboard, aluminum cans, cereal boxes, glass, motor oil, etc. We've got two big bags to set out tomorrow. Just doin' our part for the environment. We are without hot water right now...our hot water heater needs a new thermo-couple? It's a fair

Fun times with Lenore

While Lenore and Daniel were here, she had a library book panel at the Johnson County Library in Overland Park. So, on Tuesday afternoon, November 27th, Lenore, her friend Rachelle and I took off for KC. We had a great time visiting on the way up and back, and I didn't get tired at all driving! We stopped for a quick bite to eat at Arby's and filled up with gas at QT before heading to the library. It was an interesting panel featuring Bethany Hagen, author of Landry Park, which comes out next year; Gennifer Albin, author of Crewel, which was released a few months ago; and Lenore, whose book will be released on January 15. Here's the panel: Me & Lenore: Lenore & Rachelle: Gennifer, Bethany and Lenore
