Jesse that is surprising!! But what a treat they have in store!!

I got bored just now and moved all the furniture in my living room around. Not going to work for the long haul since I put the couch in front of/blocking the fireplace, but it’ll do for summer and for a change!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A change is key!

I spent the weekend cleaning my house and reading Jenny Colgan novels. Also had dinner with friends two nights in a row! So nice.

So now my house is much cleaner and I have a stack of stuff to go to Good Will if they ever accept donations again. And I want to go to Scotland because Jenny Colgan makes it sound wonderful.

NO ONE in the room had seen Lilo and Stitch!

Hangs head in shame. Yes, it is on my list. As Calvin says, "God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind, I will never die".

Having 3 days without a single call from a doctor needing my help was super cool. Did some relaxing. Alas, DH had to rewire an entire office over the weekend so he did not chill as much. He had one of our b-ball kids help him so I didn't have to. I'm hoping my days of fishing in walls and crimping network cable ends is done.

I bought a rack of ribs from Wild Fork, which you bake in the bag. Billiard boys declared them mighty tasty. I didn't taste them myself. They had a Memphis style and Kansas City style and not having a clue what that meant I went for Memphis. If I get them again I'll try Kansas City.

Now that I have come to the realization that today is Tuesday I need to do prep for my dear cleaning help because I don't want her to be discouraged.

You chose well Laura, though Kansas City style is good too.

I spent a great deal of yesterday napping, which is an ideal use of a holiday. Got together with Mom for pizza and salad last night and changed some light bulbs in her kitchen.

Napping in the hammock? Sounds like a good use of the holiday.

This is ltc's last week in the school she's been in for 4 years. I may sign her up for some camp there, but still it is making me a little teary eyed.

Summer camp may help with the transition. Change hard!

DH is scheduled to have hand surgery on the 15th. Woo! Doc says he will be able to use it while healing for eating and writing, but nothing more strenuous. I've wanted him to do this for a long time, so pleased to finally have it scheduled.

Oooh, so now he can say things like "Let me wipe away my tears with my plastic-wrapped hand!"
