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 fairly new heater, but our model is involved in a class action lawsuit right now, specifically for this problem. Corby is picking up the part on his way home from work (hopefully), and our handy-man neighbor/friend Paul is going to help him replace it tonight. Because of the class-action lawsuit, we will be reimbursed for the part. I hope this fixes it, as I hate being without hot water!!!!!

Currently reading another Lisa Scottoline book. Think I'll be checking out more of hers from the library...

mayonnaise cake is it for now. I am working to find a time for us bloggers to get together. Chris mentioned we might be able to use her house - and Corby can cook for us. We'll call it a "catering" job! HA! I say let's do it soon...

That sounds like a total blast.

I love the picture of paradise. I HATE winter. Justin & I are toying with the idea of taking a trip to Puerto Rico. Sure sounds good RIGHT NOW!!
Linda said…
Puerto Rico sounds great. Especially with the colder weather and sleet/snow headed this way!

I should have been more specific. The blogger night sounds like a blast, not the hot water heater project. Sorry.

I figured you meant the blogger party, and not the hot water heater, Heather! We finally got it fixed tonight...YEAH, hot water again! It sucks taking cold showers in the winter!

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
