my friday

My Friday is today! Hubby and I are heading north for a long weekend to see friends and family. Just us. No kids. Wow.

That's two 'solo' vacations in one year. The shape of things to come. Speaking of vacations, I had dreams about London last night. Of course, the Beckhams were involved?! lol

I guess pizza for dinner will do that to you.

Enjoy the day. Catch up on Monday. Toodles.

and the beat goes on

Tuesday! Here you are. Good to see you. Why does it always feel like an accomplishment to survive Monday?

Still hot, but they say hope is in sight and the temps may drop on Thursday.

The back to school procurement process has started. The middle kid needed new bedding as her apartment comes furnished with a double bed, not a twin. UGH. Target had a decent sale going, plus we had additional coupons and discounts.

The big adventure will be taking the boy shopping. Oh how we both dread that. But, it must be done. Unless, I ask the girls to take him this weekend? Hmmmmm. That might just work.

Off we go.

stuff

Lots of stuff going on in the next three days before we leave for a quick trip north. Sort of feel like I'm on a carnival ride. Wheeeeeeeeee!

But up first, some coffee, some breakfast, and some reading.

Everything else will fall in line and before I know it, we will be on the road, again.

Happy Monday.

thursday

The abstract editing has started. I worked on a group yesterday and will work on them again today. It is tiring work. Sometimes, it is interesting work. I'll be glad when we finish them.

In other news, a rainy morning yet again today. The oldest is off to Arkansas for work and will be back tomorrow. She and hubby will head to T-town on Saturday to start moving furniture into her apartment.

Summer is winding down. I'm not ready for school to start for the kids.

Happy Thursday!

rain

The rain has moved in! Yippee!! We really needed it, so I'm not feeling too sad about not getting a walk in this morning.

Had a lot of fun at the olive oil/balsamic vinegar class we went to last night. Very neat recipe ideas, so many good flavors to taste, and crazy combinations. Who would have thought vinegar is good on ice cream, or in tea, or drizzled on fruit? Yum Yum.

Even more fun was just hanging out with the girls and watching them have fun and enjoy the night.

The ribbon cutting was fun too. a good sized crowd showed up and over half the library board was there, which made me very happy.

All in all, yesterday was a really great day. Wonder what today will bring?

cutting ribbons

The ribbon cutting is today. The library is under town control and a party is in order. I went into work early yesterday and will again today to make up the time I'll be gone.

Still hot.

No rain.

Yep, Tuesday has arrived.

the week ahead

Monday. Here you are, again.

I have to go in early and possibly stay late in order to make up time for being gone tomorrow. I'm going to attend the ribbon cutting for the library. Heck, I even went and bought a new dress for the occasion! Talbots had a sale going, and I picked up a cute dress for $60. Guessing it might be what I wear to the daughter's graduation next May. Yes, I had that thought as I was looking. Unreal.

Nice weekend. Quite a bit done, not nearly as much as last weekend, but enough. The house still needs to be cleaned, but hubby rearranged the garage so I can pull the van in now. First time since the house renovations began back in the Spring.

In other news, we finally watched "Gone Girl." Good movie. Wished I had read the book first!

Still super hot.

Off we go!
