Oh, my... I have not been productive at all this afternoon, elly! Went to church this morning and have been pretty lazy the rest of the day.
I did finally start a load of laundry, helped dh slightly w/the trash collection for tomorrow, and wrote a check for the paper man.
Otherwise... not so much.
DH unloaded the dishwasher.
Decorative pillows... well... I've made good use of ours for napping this afternoon!
We have a bunch on the corners of the couch, and all over the love seat, it seems, but they DO get in the way sometimes. If ds is here & sits on the couch, the first thing he does is throw the pillows onto the love seat. DH & I like the ones we use for napping, though. (However, since we DO use them, I must admit they look much more "used/practical" now, rather than "decorative.")
I think your couch sounds great, too, Harriet. We need to get ours re-done.
That is sooo sweet, how people are blessing you w/random acts of kindness, OKay! And no one is more deserving of it than you & your dfamily!!! LOTS of (((BIG HUGS))) for all of you!!!
You are doing great, Harmony! WTG on inspiration from television program! (I tend to just watch those shows and feel smug that even though I'm lazy, I'm not as bad off as they are! You actually got some good out of it!)
We should be more self-sufficient, mamap! Dbil hunts dove sometimes; that's about the extent of it in our family. One of my late dgfathers was more of a rabbit & squirrel hunter, and I think "back in the day," they did sometimes eat rabbit, but in his later years, that was more just an exercise to run his dogs. He & my dgmother loved to fish, also... but man cannot live by fish alone. Well, I guess he can, but I'd hate to try it. Anyway... we are NOT very self-sufficient around here, and the day may come when we wish we were!
Laughing w/Harriet @ mechanical "pick a number," Dee! I think that's a pretty neat site, really... but I'll probably stick to old-fashioned way, trying to force myself to go down the list in priority of MUST DO NOW order.
(((Kathryn)))
Hope you have a great trip, Cathy!!!
Ditto the vote of confidence for you, Twins! You'll do great!
Waving to scattered, MT, and EVERYONE ELSE!!!
I need to get busy with some school stuff, too. Also have to make a trip to CVS today... before coupon runs out.
DH & ds were sorta at cross purposes this morning at church --
DS/ddil need us to keep dgs tomorrow and we were both very much looking forward to it, but dh had in mind that dmil could keep him long enough for us to go to Wmart. That makes me sorta nervous (b/c she can't really lift him out of his seat or walk around with him; mainly she would just have to call us if some kind of emergency occurred. We'd only be 5 minutes away, maybe, but that's a long 5 minutes in a real emergency, you know?) But anyway -- I was okay w/it if ds & ddil were okay with it.
They were NOT okay w/it... ddil particularly was concerned when we did that before.
So... I agreed w/them, we should just take dgs with us to Wmart or go tonight.
DH was just being difficult...he was NOT going to take dgs to Wmart -- it takes us forever to get out of there anyway on Mondays, without having to stop to talk w/a million people who want to oooh & aaah over dgs... * sigh * (I'd probably enjoy that part, you know, but he's right, it would take us longer.) DH also was fussing b/c ds/ddil don't "trust" us to know how to do... yada yada yada... * sigh *
I think it's all worked out, and we are going to go tonight... but I hate the conflict, as you can all imagine.
Oh -- and dh also mentioned that people who apparently don't know enough to write thank you notes within 3 months ought not to be telling US what to do! I had to agree w/that one.
And now I'll worry that I should delete that paragraph in case ddil or someone is on our "guest" list here... *more sighs*
They had to pause the service while several men ran to the kitchen and brought back buckets of ice & cold water to cool the water down. All is well that ends well.
we had 1 on our bed when got our RV. It now lies across the top back of our couch. I would have been forever moving it & 2 small pillows in the bedroom & there's no place to put them. Look very nice on couch however.
