Finally Friday Conga

[Twins' Mom]

Breaking. I had set the break for 10 minutes - I went over a little working so I'll take the rest of the 10 minutes. I could work in the garage indefinitely and not be finished. You guys just can not imagine how bad it is. And yesterday, dd went out and started moving her boxes from school around looking for something....

I gotta go again....
-change out a/c filters upstairs
-refill meds containers (not done this morning)
-take a stab at clearing the kitchen table (as bad as the garage!)
-fold the two loads of laundry I skipped this morning
-Sweep front porch

Kathryn, my ddogs bark at the sound of anyone entering the cul de sac in front of us. Walking, bike or automobile. They make us crazy. We wonder if it will be worse in the new house with the houses on either side so close. One neighbor has two dogs, the other house is just now being started.

One walker said there are 17 dogs on our block ack! She counted on her round wanted to know if I had dogs I said no but neighbors did. There is a limit of 3 per house in the city don't know if there is one in the county like that or not. The neighbor's dogs have been quiet today and they have been working with them so that is helping.

Mowing was good glad to have that done. I walked a bit after wards too. Yesterday dgd & I saw two deer on our walk.

Another break. Seems it's actually set for 15 minute breaks. Have reset so next one will be 10 minutes. Got front porch done, refilled meds, and a fair amount of kitchen table clearing.

Dkids on my last nerve today.

This time:
-A/C filters upstairs
-sweep up the back deck and "prettify" if possible
-water plants on screened porch
-clean rings
-fold those two loads of laundry
-reboot the laundry

The temps outside are in the 90's but we have fans going and it isn't bad in the house.

We got the dresser moved thanks to the dolly and plywood put across the rocks. I've been moving clothes from the shelving unit in the closet to the new, lined drawers. We definitely have too many clothes. I will have to pare my shirts down to have enough room. And that isn't even putting sweatshirts in the drawers - they go under the bed in a tote.

We are watching an old "Food Network Star" on the Cooking Channel. It is the one that our buddy, Guy won. I don't think I watched it when it was first on - or not all of it anyway.

ci:
I've sorta run down from my cortisone high yesterday, LOL. I still feel good, but I'm not quite bouncing off the ceiling this afternoon, LOL.

Came home and caught dh out doing some weeding, etc. I just followed him around the house. I did not have the zeal to put on gloves, get sweaty, and help.
Talked to at&t, got my internet working right again.
Today at school, I did get a lot of decluttering done. I have 4 big boxes -- the kind copier paper comes in -- ready to haul out to the dumpster. I threw away a lot of used file folders, etc. that I seemed to have been saving for no apparent reason. Also a lot of papers from last year that should not be needed anymore. If no one questioned their grade in the last 50 weeks, I don't think they're going to need my back up copies now.

DH & I need to go over to dmil's and (maybe) get their van for day trip tomorrow. However, dbil may have already taken it! No biggie if he has -- we're not going all that far away.

Hope Kathryn has a good time in Atlanta. I really like Atlanta, although we just have our little path/routine we follow when we go to the Braves games. Be sure to eat at the Varsity if you get a chance. It's a landmark.
Of course I like Atlanta... it's near Tara, of course.

17 dogs on the block! 3 per house! Oh my goodness. I am certainly glad ds & ddil don't have 3 dogs!!!

Elizabeth, we prefer 2D movies, also. When you wear glasses, as dh & I do, it is just annoying to have to deal with the addition of 3D glasses. We haven't seen The Avengers yet, either. DH wants to see it, but he wants to see Braves baseball more.

Also enjoying the LO stories. Dmom says I was just like that, OKay -- NEVER could keep a gift a secret!

Waving to EVERYONE!!! I'm just trying to respond to what I can see in Topic Review, and probably missed a bunch of those.
I hope y'all have a great evening!

Done again, I got the laundry folded and rebooted, changed upstairs A/C filters, and watered plants, except I just remembered two more than need watering.

So this time, it's:
-sweep up back deck and "prettify"
-clean rings
-wipe out the garage refrigerator
-do another small round of work in the garage
-

I have struck out on a lot of what was on my l*st today:
-need to drop off dd's medical form on Monday
-call tomorrow for lighting appt for new house
-will do Goodwill run tomorrow
-hopefully will round up yard tomorrow (actually may have rain move in tomorrow so tomorrow won't be good for round up....)
-One of the tasks is "Monday weeklies" - I am at least working through most of those. They haven't been done consistently in months

Payroll is almost over for the day. I have to pick up DD, get a birthday present, and get a new antenna for my XM radio. I opened an eTrade account so I can get some stock from XDH. After the stock transfer, all divorce paperwork and financial stuff is done. It just rained hard here, nice for the desert!

[Twins' Mom]

I forgot to set the timer, but I think I am done for now. Like I said, I could work on the garage indefinitely.

Dd has gone to take her dfriends home - these two girls are the younger sisters of N, who is male and also dd's friend. (He took dd to the prom the year she was a sophomore but she has always just considered him a friend.) He is dating dd's former roommate E and apparently dd's familiarity with N (and vice versa) led to E's hostility toward dd this spring. Didja get all that?

I am eating a supper of hummus and crackers. Ds had suggested getting chinese, but then decided he would prefer Chinese tomorrow night. Tomorrow we are going to a graduation party in the late afternoon so I don't know how that will pan out.

I think I am going to reboot the laundry once more and leave the washer open for ds, who said he needs to wash some clothes later.

Need to pick up dh at 9:45ish. Hopefully I'll hear from him regarding any delays. I actually have to leave home before his flight departs from ATL to be at the airport when he arrives.

[Kathryn-in-Canada]

Back from the Seaway. We got to see an ocean going ship! (That always makes my day.) Total time gone was 2:10 so not too bad. I'm going to start in on the basement now.

Dh just sent me a copy of the photo he took at dinner. You can see it here: http://shesorganized.net/phpbb/viewtopi ... =15&t=2376

I am in major meltdown mode. I just feel panicked. I hate to feel like this. Note to self, breath. I am really going to miss this village while I am gone.
