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!

What I decided on

...for sunglasses. One is slightly large and Old-Lady-ish. (Read, stylish) the other is pretty typical me!

The "me" ones

The "stylish" ones - a little Minnie Perl since the tags are still on. hehe

And of course, here is Lauren reading a book, while Annika is goofing around.

What was the book about? Greek Myths, of course. She picked it up out of curiosity and could not put it down until she finished it - about 20 mins of walking around kinda talking and kinda reading. It is a compullsion for her!

Sunglasses

I went to Target today to purchase a new pair of sunglasses; my previous pair fell off the counter onto our kitchen floor and BROKE! Shees, cheep plastic!

So off I toddle down the street to the Target, all happy and giddy at the thought of buying a new pair of sunglasses, and getting something kinda fun. Apparently I was in the mood to be semi-trendy or somethin'.

Yea, didn't last long. What is up with this nasty 70's influence sunglasses? They are HUGE, tacky, old-lady looking things! I think my grandma still wears a white pair that looks like 90% of what was for sale. I just couldn't do it. But I couldn't look like three years ago fashion either .... sigh.

So, folks, it is official. I am old and oh so very out of touch! My poor kids are not even old enough yet, nor in touch with current trends, so they cannot help steer me in any direction. I am just going to be a white sock and sandal wearing fool from now on. Not that I have ever been *much* of a slave to fashion, but I've been more aware than lately, apparently.

Well, I purchased two pairs. We'll see which ugly style I feel less conspicuous wearing. sheeesh
