Kids are going to their dad's house. My boyfriend left for a trip this morning! I'm going to be all alone! I can't wait!

I've got a bunch of laundry to do and 3 dozen ears of corn I plan to blanch, cut off the cob, Foodsaver and freeze for winter. I've also got a double batch of bread and butter pickles I made last night that I need to put into containers and freeze.
ETA: oh and my DD and her family are coming over for dinner tonight. I'm roasting sausage, new potatoes, carrots, onions, corn on the cob, Brussels sprouts and shrimp.

DH is at a car show so I'm going to spend my time learning how to edit videos in Movie Maker and download to YouTube.
This is should be an adventure since I can barely edit my photos on the computer but I'm determined to learn this stuff since I just spent the money to get a GoPro camera. Wish me luck!

No they don't lose their crunch. I've been freezing this particular recipe for years.

I have to go to fall product training for girls scout and then pick up last minute school supplies. School starts Monday here. Then I have to force my son to go for a haircut.

I have a list of things I want to do, but they are all the fun things. What *really* needs to happen is to take care of the pigsty that is my house. So the questions is...fun or drudgery??

Busy busy busy... Going to start with a 2-mile walk. Then the supermarket - actually 2 of them. Then I'll have a bucket of ice water dumped over me for the ALS Ice Bucket Shower. At 2:30 we're meeting the guy who's buying my car and handing it off (SNIFF!). Then we're having friends over (first time in the new house) for dinner.
Then hopefully I'll sleep better than I did last night. I'm not sure how I'll make it through today!

DD and I have just got back from the gym. I have some laundry to do, and I have binding to make to bind a baby quilt for my friend who had a baby on Tuesday.

I should also be backing up photos on to the external hard drive. I need to get my husband to teach me how to do that. Hopefully he'll have time today (his To Do List is longer than mine). I should also get out the manual and teach myself how to scan photos w/our new scanner/printer. We'll see. My original plan was to head to my sorority sister's lake house for a nite of fun & frolic w/the girls, but she isn't feeling well and had to cancel. The new plan is to work on Project Life & make some cards. Lots of leftovers in the fridge, so I'm not even sure I'm cooking tonite. Happy Saturday, Peas!

Going to DGD1's second birthday party. It's hard to believe this healthy 2 year old was born early and just weighed 1lb and 13oz.

Today is laundry, put away the dishes, look at my clothes that fit and don't fit and put the stuff that's too small out in the garage in the rubbermaid containers. (ugh) I guess do some laundry, change the sheets. Then figure out from there what else needs to be done.
Need more coffee.

Trying not to lose my mind. We have some plumbing issues in our new house, so the hydrovac people were here for 13 hrs for what should have been just a morning job exposing our pipe. But the dirt kept falling in so we now have a big crater on our front lawn. The plumbers are here today fixing their mistake, while my husband and a few family members prepare for a day of hard labour. And never mind, the freak show our front lawn has turned into, or the nosy neighbours. I'm surprised there hasn't been a rear ender with the way people stare as they drive by.

My foot/leg have been in a cast for 5 days now-still trying to get used to the crutches. It's hard to do a lot of what I want to do just because it's so awkward getting around.
DD2's boyfriend and ex-boyfriend arrived at 8:30 this morning to drive her back to college. I hate not seeing her new dorm and helping her move, but I'm so thankful for their help.
DH just went to the grocery store-he's planning on smoking chicken for dinner.
I'm sitting on my couch, 2peasrefugeeing, and reading.

I just finished a long run and am drinking my coffee right now. In a little bit, headed to get the car wash and maybe some Chipotle for lunch:)
Then nothing really...I might catch up on some tv shows!

Cleaning out our home office. It's long overdue. DH and I shared it as an office/scrapbook room for awhile. I'm purging or giving away almost all my scrapbook supplies, only keeping what kids might use for school projects. He's hoping to set up his TV and video game system in there and buy a couch.

I've just pre-cleaned the house and am washing the sheets from our beds so the cleaning fairy can clean the actual house and make the beds instead of moving my clutter around. While they are here I need to run up to the store and grab the groceries so dinner can get under way. We have a guest coming tonight and I'm still not sure what the menu will be. Luckily, he's a good friend and will be just as happy with sub sammiches and pasta salad as he would be with a 5 star, 4 course meal. After all of that, I'm gonna read for a while. DSO is snoozing after working all night so I have the day to myself. I love that.

This morning I ran some quick errands, got the car washed, and picked up a little around the house. Next up is getting my daughter her sports physical. Tonight, I hope, will be filled with nothing more than me sitting on my couch staring at the tv.

How are you feeling?

I am working on purging and cleaning my closet, cleaning our bedroom, ironing my work clothes, and doing laundry. I know you Peas are jealous of my fascinating life.

Got laundry all done. Vacuumed did dishes. Cleaned a couple cat vomit surprises I found when vacuuming. Why must she cover it with whatever so I don't know. Ugh. I just finished taking off last 8 doors to cabinets to work on refinishing them. Next I must decide if I want to scrub the doors or to start purging what's in them. I think a cold beer will help me decide!

I am sorting thru all my digital photos, getting them organized, purging the ones I don't need & backing them up. I do digital scrapbooking which is so much easier now that I have most of the photos organized.
Later, I will be baking some brownies because I broke an eggshell a while ago & do not need to waste the egg!
