Lots of Plans & Getting Some School Done


Hubby brought the newly painted table and chairs up for use in the sun room.  It works.  I actually put a table cloth on it for us to eat on tonight.  It made a nice dining table and I think we will be eating out here quite often.  This adds another element to our entertaining.  When we have folks over they will have plenty of seating and places to eat.  We also have the folding dinner trays that could be put at the sofa.  I'm thinking the first big group to come over will be the youth group from our old church.  GreekGordon emailed and said "please can we come?" and absolutely.  We said if God provided us with this house, we would use it to his glory and so that is what we will do.  Mom and My Auntie M and Uncle K will be here at the end of the month and we will have a grand cookout with them too.  Only we will ALL fit at the normal dining table then.  Anyway, I'm just so happy with the turnout with the patio table working in the sun room.  It was meant to be.


Above is the buffet table that we have loved thru the years.  It has been very versatile for us.  It had held our stereo in the apartment days.  LOL  And then it turned into what I have called the "buffet table"...and has been great when company comes.  Granny and Granda gave us those lamps a few years ago and I have loved the way they work on the buffet table - both in the old house and in the new. 

Then Auntie M and Uncle K had given us the little Enviroscapes water spa there in the middle.  We used it many years ago until we finally needed the space for other things as we changed and moved things about.  But now, once again it works for us here.  And we will use it when we have company or hang out in the sun room.  It makes a nice trickling sound...very pleasant.  Gives a body good "chi".  LOL 

My little doggie...I thinkshe is posing...she knows when I have my camera out.  LOL  Smart little doggie...I wuv my little Tugie Wugie yes I do.  LOL



A funky pic of the snow ball bush from the sun room. This is just not a good picture.  But here it is anyway.  LOL



Today was really busy for a Monday.   First of all I overslept this morning, but the good thing is that I was able to make it up and still get to work on time...some how. I'm going to bed earlier tonight so maybe that won't happen.

Oh yeah, back to it being a busy Monday.  It sure was.  There was a situation at work that took most of my day, and besides that situation, everyone wanted a slice of my day.  I had some reports to do and info to get for folks and lots of folks have issues that needed to be heard.  Just lots going on and the paperwork is starting to get overwhelming again.  Being out last week did not help.  Taking vacation days here and there to move has not helped either, but it was necessary and probably the best time of the year work wise for me to move.  Anyway, seems I can never get to the paperwork these days.  Always someone in the office too.  I'm starting to feel the winds of change at work.  Not sure what it is, but I can feel it.  

I worked on one of my essay questions at lunch - actually I got 1 done and about 3/4 of another one done but then my time was up.  I typed up question tonight that I had written yesterday.  I only have a few more to go on this exam and then I'll be thru.  Will be nice if I can have the exam completely submitted before going into the weekend, then I only have the discussion questions to do this weekend.  Then I will be done.  I'm ahead enough that I will make the deadline of the 16th.  So long as I keep focused. I'm ready to get this done b/c I have a boat load of other things that need to be done.  See below....

*I have a few things that need to be ordered on the internet like printer ink and a few things that I can only find on line. 

*Mothers day shopping

*Thank you notes

*More address changes with a couple of companies

*Sympathy cards to send

*Birthday shopping for a couple of folks

*Set TheTeen up for a physical

*Cancel dental appointments in our old town

*Create a plant notebook

*Plan TheTeen's summer

*Schedule our event at the Schermerhorn

*Do our wills

*Buy a graduation present

*Find a new dentist

*Find a new groomer for Tugie

*Set my mammogram appointment that I have put off

*Find a new doctor that is not half way around the world.

Then maybe after most of these things are done I can do another class. 

I have my to do list and calendar on facebook.  I'm so thankful to have them.  It has been a quick and easy way to organize my life b/c I can pull it up at home or at work when I need to check a date, or add something to the to do list.  I had been looking for a long time for something similar on line.  And I've really enjoyed those modules on facebook.

Well, I'm headed to bed.  I had weeded a bed tonight and trimmed some bushes...before cooking hot dogs for dinner, watering the plants, taking the trash to the road, feeding the critters, and working on school, and so forth.  So I'm tired.  I won't get a box unpacked tonight.  LOL

Oh yeah...and we have plans for mother's day to meet Mom and my sister and her family....Saturday!  I haven't seen them all in so long...not since we've started all this move stuff so it will be great to see my family.

Nite Nite

    I love the newly painted table.  What is that you have in vase on it?  I would eat out there every night.  So peaceful & relaxing.  I would want to entertain in my new home too.  It is beautiful.  I'm glad that you're almost done with this class...YEAH!!!  I can see why you love the buffet table.  It looks great with your lamps & water spa.  

    good luck with your list....I know you'll get it all done
