Old Business:

• Photos selected for about 2/3 of the project list.
• Stopping letters, at least for now.  Not getting much traction.
• Have done some weed pulling - can't wait for spring!
• Still reading Becoming Wise
• Laundry room - found curtains on clearance at Target, with drapery rod.  Need to hang.
• Bathroom - ceiling & wall are DONE!
• Listed a lot on eBay, a lot has sold.

Wow, long time no post!  I look back and see it was mid-October.  Shame on me.  Boy, I tell you, sometimes life gets in the way!!! So here's to catching up!

Old Business:

• Still no new layouts, but I do have a project list.
• Dentist letters out, now need to do doctors
• Mowing is done!
• Pictures are all filed - Yea!

Everybody's Workin' for the Weekend!

It's Friday AM, and looking at my last status post, I realize it was the end of June.  That was like 3 months ago!  Crazy talk!  so hopefully a lot done... ;)

Old Business:

• All Layouts done. Need to get more put on the desk, but that will require completion of the laundry room
• Missed having the boys around the last part of summer to help get jobs done.  That became more apparent after they were gone!  I guess you don't know what you've got until it's gone.
• Business-wise, Wabash has turned into just regulars, which is good, just need to figure out how to make more.  Marion has yet to turn any repeat clients.  But it is a wonderful place to work and I'm very thankful as it has been at least half my business every month.
• Did a chair event at the Marion Housing Authority.  It was hard work, but very rewarding, and met some wonderful people!
• Bathtub drain cleaned - again - still GROSS!
• Doctor's visits done
• eBay stuff sold
• Lots of mowing done, may be done for the year, haven't decided
• Desk drawers cleaned out
• Pictures still need to be filed in LOM
• Finished 3 of my fave books. Started a new one from a gal at church, Becoming Wise
• Laundry room remodel - yup you heard that right, we started on it!  The end of August and still going strong!  LOL  Lots of electrical work, drywall, plumbing, gas line, etc to do.  But new washer and dryer are working great and I hope (soon) to start seeing a difference in the water & electric bills (it is a gas dryer).  Walls are painted (I need to go back and fix one, but will wait until the end-ish), trim needs hung, then furniture moved in.  My nephew is coming up to help me for a couple of weeks, so I'm really hoping I can get some stuff buttoned up. 015 laid the floor, mostly by himself, and it looks awesome!  It will be my new crafting studio, and trust me, the rest of the house is ready to get stuff moved in there! 

New Business:

• More referral letters to send out - send out school & gym, now need to do doctors and dentists.  Had 1 call from gym for information.  We will see what comes of it.
• Lawnmowers need serviced
• Rock needs carried around front
• Downspout fixed
• Glider needs stained
• Door needs sanded & stained
• Other door needs painted
• Storm door needs hung
• October cards need sent out
• Bush needs pulled out
• Grass seed needs planted
• Ramp needs work
• Sweeps need installed
• Short wall needs fixed
• Move in scrapping supplies/purge as needed
• Set up new bookcase in living room
• Hang family pictures in Living Room
• Spray weeds
• Church - spray weeds
• Church - clean

That's probably way more than what we will get done, but who knows?!??!

November 2010 Flickr Upload

This is mostly November, some October stuff, obviously, but I was lazy & did it all in one go…  As always you can catch the entire upload here, http://www.flickr.com/photos/81154606@N00/

Carving pumpkins, we decided to not do the traditional up & down ones… I think they turned out cute!
We were zombies & ninjas, oh my!

We went to the Field of Dreams here in town for trick or treating instead of going through town.  It was fun, they had a straw maze & a hay ride, but there needed to be more. 
See what I mean?  They were so cool!

We had kittens born late in the year.  The boys absolutely loved them.  They did not survive, however.
Something yummy I made for Thanksgiving.

Boy, was it yummy!  That was the year dad thought it would be so much better to grill steaks than have ham or turkey.  It was a bit odd.  Do you have any non-traditional traditions?

I was so delighted my grandparents could be there!  At least gramma brought sweet potato casserole!
Spelling words with Magnetix.  Yes, that is a geek curtain in the back…
We’ve gotten a bit out of the habit of reading every night.  Need to get back into it.

This one I can’t keep in books, or shoes, or pants!
The dreaded homework.

My first home improvement project.  Think I did pretty good.  Especially since I have zippo experience!
Christmas party with the Wabash Electric girls.  I thought this was pretty cute!

We had it at the Honeywell House.  Very yummy food.  And we even got a tour!

They are a good bunch of girls!
