SHEs Organized

Uhoh, Lilac just used the S-word!

(Normally, I get the first snow fall. YAY Global Warming!!! We've had a gorgeous fall so far.)

I'll be going outside in my pjs if I don't get a move-on. When I do, I hope to join any SHEs doing heavy housework. Logically, I should do that first before showering but I'm not very logical today.

Ds got to surf in a pink tutu today so he's pleased. That was one of the challenges his friends gave him to do. So he was at Surf Camp this week to learn how to surf so he could complete the challenge (after taking an afternoon last week to find a costume shop where he could buy a tutu since Australia isn't big on Halloween so costumes weren't readily available.) The first morning they were broken off into smaller groups and each told to pick a name. Someone asked "Does anyone have an idea?" and ds blurted out "The Ballerinas!" He then had to explain why ballerina was the first word he thought of when thinking surfing! They named the group the "Tumbleina Ballerinas" and told ds he had better succeed in the challenge or else they'd have s silly name for no reason. He was prepared to do his run yesterday but the waves were only 1'. Today, he got out there and it was well covered by the surf camp photographer. I note from the picture that he has his GoPro camera on so I'm looking forward to the video as well.

Morning y'all

Oh Kathryn I know how happy your son must be.

Here's something y'all don't know about me. I was the 1967 female surfing champion for my area. I started surfing in 1964. Back then the sport of surfing had just hit the East Coast beaches. At that time there were very few female surfers.

One day, my dad brought home two surf boards, one for my brother and one for him. I was insulted and asked..."where's mine?". My father never thought of me on a board. He let me use his and the rest is history. I was fourteen at the time when women didn't participate in many sports. My surfboard was a 9'8" Hobie which weighed 40+ lbs. Most people didn't think a girl could carry anything that large let alone ride it in the surf. Ha, I proved them wrong.

I spent the next five summers riding from nine in the morning till four in the afternoon. When I graduated HS I worked in a tile factory for a summer job. My hours were 7-3. After work I would drive to the beach and spend another hour or so in the surf.

I love everything the sport taught me. Once a surfer, always a surfer....be prepared Kathryn, your son's gonna be searching for the next big wave for the rest of his life....

So tell me y'all....what would I be surprised to learn about YOU????

I love it d twins... nothing like a jammie ride for coffee!!! soft and comfy... one time a dear friend of mine met early in the morning (we lived across the street from each other - we would walk over to each other's houses in our robes however one time before I knew it...it was 4:00 and I had to walk dd older and my self back to our house still in our jammies.

so so cool d cowinkie!!! my nephew loves surfing like you do! he lives in California on the beach renting a house with a bunch of other young men who love surfing.

dhelia what ever works for you is what's best.

hello all,

Called dd2 and xsonil was able to rearrange his schedule to get dgs7 to the dentist and stay, so dgd17 nor I have to deal with it.

Wow, still snowing hard and now the driveway is almost covered. Dd2 took a picture of the 2 little girls in their driveway with the snow in the background. Both girls have the cutest smiles on their faces.

Kathryn, I absolutely love hearing about your ds's adventures in Australia. The challenges and the creative idea to surf in a pink tutu are making this a fun, memorable time in his life.

Baby N. Arrived an hr. Earlier this a.m. we are checking out peppy music to do the conga to this morning. Found dance tunes in one of the channels with music only. SHe has been fed dressed, hens have been fed and are out now. Get out the duster is next up. After I cuop.

When our coffee maker was down I heated water put a twisty tie on a filter with coffee in it and made some that way a trick & came up with camping one time I had the whole family of inlaws intreagued at my invitation!

I'm here!! I'm here!!

We are attending a rally in Deming, NM and having so much fun that I just whisk thru here to CUOP and then don't have time to post.

Just had the business meeting and this afternoon we are off to the Pink Store (combo cafe/bar/Mexican decor stuff) in Palomas, MX. We will leave here at 2 and be back before dark. So no worries about being in Mexico.

We will leave here tomorrow morning for our house - about 2 1/2 days till home unless we get really eager. Then we will be home by Sunday afternoon.

Time to write my report about the Rally so I don't have that hanging over my head.

Cowinkie, I post so much I'm not sure there's anything ya'll don't know about me!

Twins Here's a sign I have too much stuff. If my coffee maker didn't work, I have two other ways of making coffee (not including instant) before I'd have to go to the campers method of boiling on the stove. BTW: neither dh nor I drink coffee!

I'm s2s. Stripped (the already made) bed and the sheets are in the washer now. Bedroom is tidied. Was feeling on top of things and started down the stairs (empty handed, thank goodness) and both knees went out. Great pain. Not a twinge upstairs. Now I'm having trouble with straight walking but it comes and goes.

My house has not been properly cleaned for months now due to these dang knees. I get a day or so in but never enough time to do the whole place at one time. Without a carpet vacuum right now, the upstairs is in a holding pattern but the main floor (only one area rug) needs vacuuming badly and the kitchen floor has numerous sticky spots so is beyond a simple sweep or even a sweep and a damp mop.

I'm in a really bad mood now.

Here's a bathrobe story that's true...was gonna post it for Halloween but seems to fit here...

Better idea...don't want to take up too much space so I will take it to another posting place...

I'll put it in the Cafe, under my daily inspiration place.
