We are about to drive down to San Diego county to visit C's dad. Realized he's the one remaining grandparent. Maybe this fact will motivate C to finally build a better relationship with him. Or not. We've already commandeered family members on both sides to play surrogate grandparents to the kids.
I baked an Amish friendship "bread" (it's really cake) to bring to the bbq. I brought something else last year and there were long faces, so it's back to the Amish bread.
I woke up early but it's raining so I didn't run. Instead I had an egg in a raft and now I'm cleaning house madly while listening to HP & the Deathly Hallows.
Now I have a huge pile of paperwork to file or trash. Do people shred their utility bills, or can I just recycle them? I don't have a shredder, so I would have to take it to my sister's house to do.
I shred, but I have a shredder in my office, so it's fairly convenient. They often have a fair bit of info on them, and I'd be a bit worried about identity theft if I put them in the recycling. Especially as we have open bins that sit out by the road overnight for the recycling truck that comes at gawd awful am.
I shred all my bills, with a crap-ass $15 shredder.
I shred everything.
Man. We got in town yesterday, I crashed out about 10 and woke up at 11 the next morning. So that means I've been up for about two hours, during which time I showered, hung out on the internets, and ate macaroni and cheese my mother-in-law made me. And yet? So tired. I would like to go back to sleep nao thankyew. This afternoon I've got to shoot video for our non-attending VBS, and tomorrow the SO preaches, scary. And we have minimal time together with the family, let alone all the extended friends. But seriously, all I want to do is sleep.
It's Dana's birthday!
Happy Birthday, Dana!!
Sometimes you need the rest, Liese.
I realize my current desire to nap is from the bloody mary I had at brunch, so I'm kind of just waiting it out. It is LOVELY here, so I need to get out of the house, at least to do errands.
Oh yeah! Happy birthday, Dana!!
I went to a couple yard sales, one of which advertised a patio umbrella for sale, but it was too small for my purpose. However, I found a lovely old-fashioned eggbeater, the kind with a crank! Getting out the electric and finding the paddles is such a bother. This can nicely be to hand when I want to mix something. For $3, such a bargain!
