back to work

Today is the "back to work day". Vacation is over. ((sniffle)).

We came home early from up north so we could do some "stuff" around the house for the last few days. hehe. yeah. right. stuff like, you know...important stuff.

for instance,... I cooked every night. That's stuff.
And...I read 3 fluffy books. That's some stuff.
We rented some movies. One of which (Be Kind Rewind with Jack Black)...don't waste your money.
We - uh - went shopping. More stuff.

Ok. Alright already. We didn't get any stuff done!!!

Which proves the old adage... the busier you are, the more you get done. I have to stay busy, or I'm going to waste away.

We didn't have internet when we came home. And we've been so busy with our "stuff" that neither one of us has bothered to find out why. So, today, I'm catching up on bloglines. you know, while I'm "on break" at work.

No, no, forget the stuff! You made the best re-entry from vacation you could. You took out the shock factor and avoided severe vacation withdrawl. Good job. Especially reading fluffy books. Very theraputic. You avoided post-vacation depression!

Welcome back!

mel and amie, fluffy books are just that: fluffy. no real substance. just "fluff". books like "confessions of a shopaholic"... and "shopaholic and baby"... by my favorite fluff author, by the way.

I just finished one called "Diary of a Mad Bride". I like the ones that are humorous and make you laugh out loud. This one was okay. Nothing like the confessions series though. Sophie Kinsella keeps me laughing all the time.

Amie,
shopping didn't bring me much luck. The girls made out like bandits... and I did get a new coffeemaker because mine died a week or so ago.

But, I took Shawn's mom and she bought a new salad spinner..so she gave me her old one! score!

coffee

I have to take issue with something. Dave Ramsey... love him. usually. But, today... I got an email from him (not because we're personal friends but because we've paid to take his FPU class)... and he had the NERVE to say that coffee is not a necessity. it is a luxury. I'm contemplating my open letter to him. Something like this... Dear Dave, Although I appreciate all that you have done in your life and ministry, I have to take issue with one point. Coffee is not a luxury. How can I ask my husband to extend a special line item in our budget for Starbucks when you continue to claim that it is a luxury? Let me educate you on the value of my daily Starbucks .... First of all, it is research... when I get the necessary funds, I plan to open my own coffee shop, and it is vital to my financial peace that I complete the research needed for a successful coffee shop. Secondly, ... have you SEEN me in the morning when I don't have it? Do you work beside me? No... you haven't...

Quick! Call an Ambulance!

I went on a bike ride with my 9 year old yesterday. Okay... I will wait a minute while you gain your composure. You don't have to be so loud about it. I had been promising her that we would go on a bike ride together for a few days. Why didn't I promise her a trip to Starbucks for a nice hot latte? So, we ditched a few responsibilities and went on a bike ride. But, I didn't have a bike. So, I was going to walk. She said I could borrow Abbie's bike. Except Abbie has the bike seat from the land down under - you know what I mean. And my rear was not meant to sit on that tiny thing. But, I rode it anyway. After we crossed the street, we started heading down the road and it was pretty nice for a couple minutes. Luckily, my dad lives 2 blocks away, so we had to stop there to say hi and to tell him that we are on a bike ride. Then, we headed back on our bike ride. We left my dad's and there is a slight hill. Emily got tired just-in-the-nick-of-time so I had to walk...
