January 1

I'm going to try to do a better job of blogging in 2011. Other than that, I didn't make any resolutions...mainly because I usually don't keep them.

Here's how our January 1st went:
* visited mom and took down all her Christmas decorations
* Stopped at Adv. Auto, looking for shocks for my tailgate, no luck
* Went to Lowe's, looked at new kitchen sinks & faucets, ceiling fan for Kaitlin's bedroom, and new track lighting.
* Ran down to work to do Sunday's Hot off the Press (news lost it out of the folder)
* Ate Popeye's for lunch
* Did the boys' laundry
* Played SkipBo with the kids
* Watched football
* Ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans and black-eyed peas for dinner
* Watched some of the Rose Bowl, TCU beat Wisconsin
* Kids went bowling with Brady at Northrock Lanes
* Finished CROSSFIRE by James Patterson


Today's agenda so far:
* Packed up the boys, they headed back to Manhattan
* Went to Walmart with Kaitlin to pick up a few necessities
* Doing the rest of our laundry, including boys' bedding
* Kaitlin went to New Market Square shopping
* Watching the Chiefs game (they are behind by a touchdown right now)
* Looking forward to 3 days of vacation, don't go back until Thursday

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
