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.

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!

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...
