Archives for July 2007

OK, so much for boring, this evening was busy.  The girls went to MIL’s house as the normal Wednesday afternoon custom.  Around 4 Scott and I headed to D&D’s house to see the new and improved house.  They had moved into the very old house of Mr. D’s grandmother who is now in an assisted living place.  Well, the gutted the whole thing except for the hardwoods and added on a master suite.  The house rocks now.  Mrs. D (ok, that sounds weird calling her Mrs because she’s only a year older than me and my best friend)  has great taste and it’s simply beautiful.  They stained the pine floors very dark.  The kitchen has the whole dark maple, goldish countertops and stainless steel appliances.  All the rooms are coordinated with great lighting, etc, etc. 

So after that Scott dropped me off at the church for me to host week 2 of our bible study.  We were off for 2 weeks for VBS and July 4th.  And then we had youth group after that of course.  And then we ended up staying and having a “brief” leaders meeting.  And THEN we had to go pick up the girls at MIL’s.  So the girls went immediately to bed as we didn’t get home until 9:30ish.

Now Scott is over talking to the neighbor and I’m on here.  Crap, I just missed Dancing with the Stars.  Rickey.org will save me.

On the book end, no more sales yet. I haven’t announced it to the entire family and friend set yet and I think Mom and Heather are waiting to see what it looks like in person before shelling out the money.  I want to talk to our music director at church but I have a notion to sell the books at an upcoming lunch fundraiser and let all proceeds of sold books go to our choir fundraiser.  We need a lot of things and I’m always up for a good cause, especially when it benefits me too lol.

My life is boring this week…I’m lovin it.  These past 3 days have felt like more vacation than any day in Maryland we had.

So last night we went to the gym where I worked my butt off (hopefully, well, stomach really) then came home and got in the pool.  Well, technically, I got my suit on to go swimming and put the kids in the pool but I was so tired I ended up just sitting in a chair watching them swim.  The rest of the night was very boring, I don’t even have the energy to write about it. 

And today I got the kids off to school and Scott is off helping the church with another church’s VBS.  So it is super quiet around here again. 

It was a quiet evening that capped a quiet day.  Scott and I went to the gym and out to eat before picking up the girls at ILs last night.  When we got home, we let the girls watch tv/play computer games before going to bed.

This morning the girls are back at camp and Scott is working on the deck.  I’m busy with work and it’s quiet again.  Not sure hwo I know how to act with all this quiet time here.

I’m really excited about my book.  I doubt anyone will be interested except family but I just love looking at it. I can’t wait to get my copy.  I’m disappointed the date is on some of the pictures and the software warned me the resolution was too low for a few of them so I’m interested to see how it turns out.  I have picked out all the pictures for the past 5 years to do a family book.  I think it will be more difficult since there are so many more pictures.  I’m also thinking of inserting some excerpts from my blog into this one.  This is like the fast, digital scrapbook for me!  This one I’m pretty sure I won’t sell but use as gifts for our parents and siblings and such.  I already do a mini photo book from Snapfish every Christmas for our parents and grandparents.  This will be like a culmination of all the years.  Now I want to go take a ton of pictures!
