Pictures....Someday

I haven't been posting pictures lately. (I'm sure my family's noticed.) I tried from Picasa but it isn't working. And I haven't figured out the Gimp thing. Dad sent me emails but I don't know what I'm suppose to do with them. Better call him one of these years and figure it out. I haven't taken that many pictures lately anyway. It's been really nice out and we've been busy.

People were meeting at the park today for lunch at noon but Mark was sleeping and I didn't mind staying home. It's a beautiful day though. Not a cloud in the sky! The kids have been begging to go outside, all day. I told them we'd go when dad gets up. He just got up a little bit ago and walked with Nikayda and Abo to Chuck's (grocery store) to get the paper and milk. He was up all night working on house plans for a house that he and Stan are going to do. I went to bed around two, he just told me he went around seven!!

The time is just flying by until we head to Michigan. I can't believe that I only have a couple of days. Three to be exact. I feel like I have a million things to do...laundry, packing, hopefully get this house a little bit organized. I never manage to do that before vacation and everytime we go somewhere, I think I will. It'd be so nice to come home to a clean house.

I also need to defrost our little ice-box of a freezer. Been putting that off for a couple of weeks. Yesterday, I couldn't even open the door on the freezer anymore because the ice was so thick around it!! (Time to buy a chisel). That's pretty bad. It's the kind of freezer that's inside of the frig. It doesn't keep ice cream frozen. Seriously. So, I never dare to keep meat in there for too long. Now, you're feeling sorry for our poor kids who never get ice-cream. What kind of childhood is that?!

We were tossing around the idea of staying in a hotel on the way to break up the trip...still haven't made up our minds about that. We're leaning more towards not...to save money. I'd rather have the cash to shop (garage sales/junk stores) when we go there.

Not sure if I've said this, but I'm not a big shopper, in the real sense of the word. Like, I don't like mall shopping or department store shopping that much. [The exeption here is Target. I love Target.] A lot of people seem to have that misconception of me. But get me near garage sales and junk stores or antique malls. I'm all over that!!

I hate clothes shopping. That's why I don't own a pair of jeans that fit me right now and why I only have a couple of things that I wear over and over. Clothes are fun but they aren't fun to shop for...especially when I'm trying to lose weight. House stuff and junk is WAY more fun.

I'd like to think I'm a professional garage saler. I'm a complete addict. (Better than smoking, right?) I've been pondering the idea of selling on Ebay. I'm just really nervous about it. There's so much to think about and I have no idea what to do! I think it'd be a fun little side job for me.

Mothering three crazy little kids takes up all of my time (did I just call my kids crazy?!) (You mothers with more kids are just laughing.) but I really think it'd be the thing for me. Mark keeps asking what I'm waiting for but I'm very cautious about starting something new like that. I want to be sure I can make the commitment to it. And I'm kind of waiting until we get in our house to have a place to organize my junk a little better. But Em (my sister) has said I should probably get a start now to build up my numbers...or whatever you call your credibility score.

The End.

(I definitely know how to make a nice flowing ending to my blog entries. Don't I?)
