Since I'm having a man sleep over at my house tomorrow night, I've been busy trying to clean the place up a bit. I don't think he will notice, but his Mom or Dad might. Grandson Liam is going to spend Saturday night at Grandma's house!
The biggest concern I have is what to feed him. I cook for myself and it isn't necessarily what a kid might want, but I'll be ok. There's always Chipotle and In-N-Out Burger nearby! I kind of like Chipotle myself.
In between the jobs I've been doing, I've either been reading "the Book" or thinking of things to get rid of. I will go back and follow the routine recommended by the author, but after I finish the entire book. Right now I may as well discard some things I know I don't need to keep.
I have finished the chapter on clothing, and the next is books. My main stash of books is in the spare bedroom, but sort of blocked in by camping gear. I can picture how nice the bookshelf is going to look when I discard a lot of books I bought and never read, or those I just don't want to hang on to any more. I am already enjoying the concept of tidying up my house and keeping only what I need and what brings me joy. While I might never achieve the fullest results, I think I'm going to be very happy with what I accomplish. I am really dreading getting into the photographs though.
The dog park is really getting to be a nuisance. I was just barely awake this morning when the barking and growling began. My doors and windows were all closed but it didn't affect the noise. Having always had fairly quiet dogs (but who could bark when they needed or wanted to), I have no patience with what is going on. I don't blame the dogs, but their owners could set a level of tolerance and then bring the dogs to order when it is reached.
I don't know where it came from, but all of the sudden I am craving ice cream. I don't know if it would be better to buy a small container or just forego it altogether. I have avoided it for several months now, so maybe the craving will pass. I may treat myself now and then when the weather gets hot.
- I'm Still Around
I worked out at the gym last night with Jeannie, and noticed they had made available some recipes for St. Patrick's Day milkshakes. Since it contains delicious things that I like, including ice cream, milk, and whipped cream, as well as the...
- New Tires From Les Schwab
I needed to go to Home Depot this morning, and since Les Schwab Tires is adjacent to HD I stopped there first to get my tires checked and aired up. I knew I didn't have many miles left on my front tires, and ended up replacing them. I love the...
- Puzzle Time!
As always, there is a jigsaw puzzle being worked on the dining room table. This time it's as diabolical as always - a picture in the shape of a triangle, with pieces that are all triangular shaped. I placed a few of the pieces last night,...
- Trying To Buy A Book!
It shouldn't be this difficult. I went to the Barnes & Noble bookstore this morning but didn't find the books I wanted. I then went over to the crossword puzzle section and all they had were easy puzzles, so I left. I did a computer...
- Getting Rid Of Stuff.
After reading Billy Bob's efforts to organize his great stash of books and the resulting discussion about whether or not to give some away or keep all of them, I decided to take a look at what I have - not nearly as many books as a lot of folks have,...
