UNO anyone?

The kids and I had great fun tonight playing UNO. Since they are all working now, we rarely have time to play games. We had quite a few laughs, especially at our in-house comedian - Kaleb! He's quite the cut-up, could probably be a stand-up comedian someday.

We made a trip to Home Depot this morning to get items needed for Kaitlin's painting of the bathroom in the basement. I picked up the paint the other day - Mike mixed it for us. It is bright turquoise. We are accenting with lime green and orange towels, and a bright pink shower curtain. I'm anxious to see how it will look when it is finished. I will try to post a picture (if I remember)!!!

I am getting things together for a garage sale. I keep changing my mind on whether or not I really want to do one. Our neighbors, Paul & Tokeah, are having one; and they offered to let me put things in theirs, but I think I've just decided to go ahead and do one here. I don't have tons of stuff, but I do have some scrapbooking things, magazines, books, clothes, and a few knick knacks. Since the city-wide sale is next Saturday, guess I better get busy!

Mom seemed to be having a better day today - after a miserable Fri. & Sat. due to "toilet" maintenance issues with her apartment. It ended up just needing the flapper replaced, which they did not have time to do on Friday afternoon; and she's not too happy that she has to wait until Tues. to get it fixed. She tends to stress about things, and this was something she DEFINITELY stressed about!

My latest musical enjoyment? Donny Osmond's Love Songs from the 70's! Yep, once an Osmond fan, always an Osmond fan! Very enjoyable CD - especially for all of us who were teens+ in the 70's!

My latest book: The Third Victim by Lisa Gardner. I've read several of her books and have enjoyed them. This one is starting out pretty good.

Margaritaville!

We had a wonderful get-together at On the Border this afternoon. The margaritas were great! Of course, I was the only one drinking - and I'm not even much of a drinker. It was great seeing my niece, Lenore and my nephew, Nick. Even though Nick lives here, I don't get to see him much, as his work hours prevent us from seeing much of each other. We did make a pact to get together and see a movie over the Thankgiving holiday. We will be going to Oklahoma on Thanksgiving to spend it with Charles, but I'll have to come back Thanksgiving night as I have to work on Friday. Here are some pictures from our afternoon out. Kaleb with Nick (Brandon provided Kaleb's rabbit ears)... Kaitlin and Brandon Mom, Terry, Sandy and Lenore Lenore and Mike Ryan and Diana Diana in her Garth t-shirt (I can't wait until tomorrow night!) Me with my sister Rhonda Mom and Lenore THE WHOLE CREW minus me - I'd rather be taking the picture! We are childless tonight, as Brandon went to a concert...
