A Nice Wednesday Day

I love the days that I do not have to go to work, I don’t have to be at any doctor appointment, I don’t have any where that I have to be, just to have the day off and do whatever it is that I want to do.

Today has been a nice day.  A little productive but has also been a little relaxing too.  Being able to do the things that I enjoy, although some of them are quite the chore, because I enjoy doing them, they are not chores at all.

I got up around 9 this morning, I laid in bed for about 15 minutes thinking about if there happened to be anything that I was supposed to do.  Since I couldn’t remember having any pressing appointments I decided to roll out of bed.  Teddy and kitty cat were on the bed with me so that was nice to wakeup to.  I got ready and headed out for a few errands.  I stopped by Chik-Fil-A for a chicken mini and sweet tea, then made my way over to Payless Shoes.  I got a 20% off coupon in the mail yesterday and since my flip flop shoes that Lucas brought me from Brazil are falling apart (the dumb toe thong thingy keeps popping out of the hole in the sole of the show) so that it was a good idea to take a look-see.  I found a nice pair on sale and since it was buy one get one half price, I got a much needed belt too.  So I got a pretty decent deal for 2 things I needed.

Next up, a hair cut.  I didn’t want one.  But I know that it was beyond time and with the hair police alive and well at the wonderful world of Disney, it would only be a matter of time before some douche bag told me to get a hair cut.  Not that my hair was getting crazy but it was on my ears, touching my collar, all the horrific sins that only Disney World can cry about.  So I got my hair cut but only trimmed mind you.  It is my goal to grow my hair out as best I can over this next year.  Still falling in line like a good little brain-washed cast member and getting it trimmed whenever it grows itself to the verge of “crossing the line” or collar as it were.  I know I shouldn’t complain, especially since my hair has a tendency to grow into Bozo the Clown air on the sides if I let it get too out of control.  Lord, I have had such horrible hair my entire life…cursed with naturally curly hair but more to the point, curly because of COW LICKS everywhere.  Do you know that I even have cow licks on my facial hair too?  Yup, my left side chin area next to the corner of my mouth.  Look closely and you will undoubtedly will see a chewed up mess in that spot some mornings.

Hair cut.  Check.

Next a quick stop at Target to pick up a few items.  Not very much but still managed to be $45 bucks.  What the hell.

Finally at home I worked a little on the computer, not really worked more like played on the computer, then got out the sewing stuff and worked on making some costume stuff for the show.  Listen to 80’s music on the cable tv music stations and sewing away.  Has been a nice day.

Later after Dan gets home from work we will be having dinner with Brian and Kathleen!  Applebee’s down at Lake Buena Vista.

Gotta Love A Garage Sale

Today was a neighborhood garage sale here in good ole Daniels Crossing.  Set up by the homeowner’s association, everyone was encouraged to clean out the garages and closets and be a part of the selling madness.

Officially the sale was from 7am to 1pm but Dan and I didn’t get up with the chickens to get started that early.  Instead we got up around 7:30 this morning and headed out to set out of modest 2 tables worth of stuff. 

When I opened the garage door this morning….it was crazy out there.  Mike, the neighbor 3 houses west of ours, had quite the inventory sitting out in front of his house.  He is always having yard sales it seems like one every month so he was in hog heaven today.  At any rate, he had such the spread, that people were swarming around the corner.  Too bad his house is literally on the corner, in the turn.  Cars were blocking the road on more than one occasion so we saw about 3 different rumbles almost happen.  One lady was so pissed off that she actually got out of her car, went over to the other car, opened their passenger side door and scream cuss words at the car load of them.  Then as our luck goes, once the bottle neck was cleared out, she stopped at OUR HOUSE to shop.  EEEEEEEK!  But I have to say, that I was able to talk her off the ledge.  Haha… perhaps I turned her day around.

So after about 2 hours, we had sold off most of the stuff that we wanted to part with so we cleaned up and called it day.  All in all, minus the change we had on hand to make change, we made $215.  Not too shabby for 2 hours worth of “work”.  I love garage sales.

An OU Student… again

As of today I have once again become a student at Ohio University and I am so excited.  It was Spring of 1990 when I last attended classes at OU in Athens and now here we are again, 21 years later.  All this time that has passed I never really thought too much about going back, certainly not to be among those born in the 90’s…yikes… but I have decided that it is important to me to finally finish.  To put what credits I did, in fact, earn while I was a full time student at OU from the Fall of 1987 until the Spring quarter of 1990, I want to put towards a degree.  So that is what I am doing.  Pursuing an Associate in Arts degree.

 

So here we go.  I can’t wait.
