My Bento Obsession

It is back to school time, or preparation time at least. We have one month till the start of school, but I am already getting back to my bento obsession! Just today I packed a snack for the girls to take to the garden with them - bento style! (They ate it all, btw - 1/2 whole wheat bagel and cream cheese, grapes, and carrots)

Today, while perusing some of my bento blogs I like, I ran across this, from my favorite Laptop Lunches folks. What a cool, cool way to help plan a weeks worth of healthy lunches!

Returned Clippers

For those of you that were following the great Fairy-Borrowers-Gypsy debate ... the clippers have been found.

hmmmmmm, does that help clarify precisely WHAT it was that took them for a week?

Mt Laundry Update

Washing Machine - 7
Folding and putting away - 10

How is that possible? Procrastination!


And guess what? I have more laundry to do still!! But probably only about 4 loads! Summer and those swim towels do me in! But it is worth the hassle; water is soooo much fun.

Mt. Laundry

And this is only one of several baskets. Guess what I am doing ALL day today? Yup, donning my O2 mask and conquering the elusive Mt. Laundry!

Here we go (maybe) again!

I must confess that this past May's no purchase foray was a good month to think about all the purchases I made. Can I get Bill to do this too? hmmmmmm More food for thought hee. School is coming up, and we need a few supplies. When does school start? Sept. something, so I could, in theory, wait until Sept. to purchase all the supplies needed. Or, today purchase backpacks and lunch boxes (oh, I might have a LaptopLunch already - gotta look into that one!) The girls need shoes, but I have to wait for Lauren's ortho visit first; the inserts make shoes fit differently, and she seems to think that her current inserts are too small.

Anyway - for now I am possibly not buying anything new nor going out to eat for the month of August!

Bored in the car

I was having some fun taking photos in the car while driving home from vacation. 3 hours in a car can get a tad tedious. So I had fun.

Lost Already!

Yea, I lost one of my pairs of sunglasses while on vacation.

Good thing they were not very comfortable, and therefore I really did not like them much. But now I am stuck with ONLY the old lady style ones ... which I feel weird in!
