We had family night last night, it went really well! I had about 50 kids I think, I am doing the attendance in my data system now. Part of my job is to show that people are coming to things of course, and collaborating with the school, so I did both. I had a lot of teachers who came and helped with the stations for art and sports. Now today is a day off school, so I had a couch delivered this morning and will go in for a few hours.
wow, greenclaire, just wow! you're an inspiration to me
Nearly 80 degrees today, and went to a place in the park to walk where I seldom go. Fun times! Walking squirrels collecting nuts, seeing boaters on the waterway, watching people walk their dogs.
I bought a house! It's an investment property; I'm going to rent it out.
It's a sweet little place in a great location. I want to be a good landlord - offering someone a good place to live at an affordable rent.
Ooh, get the new Tana French book from the library! "Trespasser"
I'll be doing nothing else for the next day or so :)
gardenarian, good luck with your new rental home!
My Remodeling Company. These guys are clean, professional, polite and doing a super job!
Voting! 8:30 am I parked one car back in line, walked in greeted with smiles from everyone, no line at all, pen worked, submitted ballot and got my I Voted sticker and was out of there in a few minutes.
Me too, ctg--must be Michigan! Then we drove to the lake for donuts as stress relief. So glad that part is over.
Toddlers snd Tiaras, back on tv after a 3 year hiatus. Just for me, my guilty pleasure.
This show has an IMDB rating of 1.8, so bad! So very bad!!!
I dont care. :~)
Oh too funny IrisLillies!
DH is brilliant at building things, but he has another talent, he is a finder. He is like a bloodhound. You tell him " go boy, you go find this" and he will find it.
So today I came home from the theater, it was 6pm, wine time! So much wine time! Yet, I had only 2 ounces of wine in the bottle. We have no beer. We have no vodka. I whined to DH waaaaannhh where is the alcohol, do we have anything drinkable? He "went to work" in the cupboards and moved cans and cereal packages and found liqours, and Scotch, but they are not drinkable. Then, buried in the back of the high cupboard he found a box of red wine. Score!!!
Is he in good with St. Anthony, I wonder??
So, dark too early and no time for daylight walking when I have time - sigh, just making my SAD worse!
Ah, St. Anthony is the patron saint of lost things. I had to look that up. DH might be in good with him, it is possible!Quote:

My wife was so frustrated she did not find a shirt she was looking for, I got her to declutter our wardrobes togehter with me. Had to go to the trash bin 3 times, another two big bags on sale at ebay!
Rumpaged through the whole appartment afterwards, throwing away everything that was in the way and could not run fast enough. Last time our appartment was so clean was before we moved in ;-)
my god, the things I learn on the interwebs. This is funny and cute.Quote:

Mary, this is how I learned it:
"St Anthony, St. Anthony, please come round.
Something's lost and must be found."
So neat to hear it another way.
Calling on Catherine--what poem did you learn?
Likewise neat to learn a new, somewhat more formal, version! I shall use it while searching for more formal objects.Quote:

Up early and saw the beginning of the supermoon, which just rose over the mountain near my house. Officially it's tomorrow night but wow, it's a stunner.
Almost 60° in the Northern US.... sunny and beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rainy and beautiful here. I'm cleaning out my refrigerator and getting ready to restock it. I have two books waiting for me at the library, and three ebooks to finish. Lunch is homemade chicken vegetable soup. Life is good.
The library had Season 3 of the Newsroom in! Hallelujah.
I allowed myself to splurge and buy pre-minced garlic in a tube last week - it isn't called Simple Living for nuthin! Without having a real kitchen to cook in it has made my life immeasurably easier to cut out that sticky step of mincing garlic cloves without the benefit of having running water nearby. Sometimes you gotta just pay up a little more to make things easier :)
Went to meeting of Friends this morning and left feeling very restored and at peace. This is coming off of upsetting week, so glad to have been able to go.
Warm enough to go to the park today - fun times. Went to 2 stores and bought nothing because the prices were too high. Mailed letters and back home.
I just love watching Celtic Women on PBS - Christmas music!
I read a book (and have remembered it so far) in a week, not a month or two! I am hoping with more practice I will get back to 2-3 a week but that may be unrealistic. This is the first book that wasn't a huge struggle where I found myself counting pages and re-reading because I forgot. I got lost in the flow of the book even though it wasn't some great book. It was like really reading again.
Oh Freshstart what a wonderful thing to have now!
it is!
For several days, I have planned to go to the library to get some DVDs for New Year's Weekend - and I kept thinking, I hope they have the latest season of The Game of Thrones (Season 6) --- and they did! I am amazed because it was just released last month and it was Friday night before a long weekend! Sometimes it takes months for them to get stuff like this and then they have a problem with theft so they have to order new ones! With that and a TWD marathon on AMC, I am all set. Plus, it might get warm enough for a walk round the neighborhood!
Mass quantities of restful sleep and much less sinus pressure today - yipee!
Rainy day fun - genealogy!
Big break through - found a guy that is related to a ggggrandmother and his descendants live about 70 miles away! How ironic! This guy died young and his wife remarried and the kids were sometimes using the stepfather's name!
I love putting this puzzle together!
Back to spring like weather, and it melted the snow!
Long park walk - I am so out of shape!
Found instant coffee on sale at a wonderful price!
Walking dead marathon on and later animal planet.
Fun times!
Walked to the library in Indianapolis in sandals, capris and a tshirt. Yesterday was in northern Ohio with snow/ice and had to scrap the windows. Wonder what is next?
I have had 3 regular meals and some snacks at regular times, On a Saturday!! I tend to make my mood worse by having irregular schedules around sleep and eat. I also led a conference call and my teacher (a Buddhist nun) just raved at the end about how it was run. Timing, tone, good questions, etc.
And I got new pants at Target on clearance for $8.
