As Friday comes upon us

Well, I would say I have enjoyed my Easter vacation, but I have not vacated nor rested much. On Monday I actually did have a day where I sat around watching bad tv wondering if I should put real clothes on or if my pj's would take me through the day - I think I actually changed over to sweats - only to go pick up dinner . . . gotta love take out Chinese food.


Tuesday Brent and I - mostly Brent - cut out the new and expansive sections of our flower bed out front - what my cousins Cindy and Alan will be coming down next weekend to help with. The hard part was rolling the sod and picking it up - seriously. It weighed a ton. Who knew grass could weigh so much. But Brent pulled the trailer around back, and we attempted transplants in bald spots our dogs have created. We're still watering daily folks, so wish us luck.










Wednesday we took that piece of equipment back, and we got another one - a carpet cleaner, because, girls, if you are going to have men and dogs in your lives, you are going to have spots on your carpet. So after picking up the cleaner, and going for lunch in Choco-hoco land, we came home, and as it was such a beautiful day (the weather has turned out much warmer and nicer than I thought it was going to be), we decided to go fishing for a couple of hours.

Now, let me stop here and say that fishing always sounds better to me than it really is. I don't know why I don't remember from one trip to the next how much I suck at it, or how frustrating it is, or how uncomfortable those seats are in the front of the boat - but anyway . . . We went fishing, and it was actually nice and peaceful. We go up Bear Creek, which is actually not too far from the boat ramp, and it's all trees and birds and quiet. Blessed quiet. So overlooking the fact that I only caught one fish, and so did Brent, it was a nice relaxing trip.



Then we came home and cleaned carpets - until eleven o'clock. That's right - crazy - yes -- but the proud owners of some clean carpet? - yes as well.

Today I was all excited about getting to see my friend Todd. He's home for a long weekend to visit with family and friends. I got up, returned the carpet cleaner (after Brent had cleaned the couch, chair, and ottoman), got my oil changed, ran a couple of other errands, and then came home. Todd showed up sometime after lunch and hung out helping with odd jobs and such around the house.

While all of this was going on, Brent had gone out fishing again - only caught three today - but still had a good time.

And tonight I have worked on a display for school -something for Book Fair - which I will post pictures of once it is done.


Tomorrow, I plan to have lunch with Cathy, and finish a couple of projects around here.


So - if you have made it to the end of this post without falling asleep from the mundaneness of it all, thanks!
