Mother’s Day was uneventful. I got memory boxes the boys made at Lowe’s, my ratty own potholders that I sent into preschool not knowing what they were needed for, returned to me with a painted handprints on them, flowers that I can’t smell, and a GPS watch for running that DH ordered using my email address that hasn’t arrived yet.
I think my allergy attack late last week was actually a cold and it’s still lingering. Saturday I had a low grade fever and stuffed myself full of all sorts of OTC meds. Dinner was take-out Chinese since I thought hot and sour soup sounded good. We ended up at Max and Erma’s for dinner last night and I’m suppose to go to Mom’s Night Out with MOMS tonight. Thing One and Thing Two are signed up for Parent’s Night Out at the Y on Friday, so LOTS of restaurant eating for me. Good for the taste buds, bad for the scale.
MD consisted of DH and the boys ripping out the kitchen ceiling and the sheetrock off a wall while I read web sites about my camera.
I need to post pictures of the kitchen. Removing the ceiling revealed some interesting plumbing issues from when the last owners re-did the master bath and I just hope that it doesn’t turn into a major problem. Electrician is coming this week. Cabinets are glazed but not finished but it doesn’t matter since we’ll be away for Memorial Day and the weekend after. I need to clean up all the guest spaces so the (family) cabinet installing crew will have room to sleep. BIL #1 offered to come help install, which is great, but they are going to WDW the second week of June, which pushes cabinet install back even further. We still don’t know about going to Europe in June, which would also push cabinet install back.
I want to learn more about photography and to that end, have a stack of books out from the library and a bunch of websites bookmarked. I have a Canon S3IS, so not a full DSLR, but not a crappy P & S either. The S3 is great outdoors but terrible indoors on auto mode, so I’m trying to learn enough to take it out of auto and get some results that I actually like.
I’ve also gotten my scrapbook stuff out again and want to work more on that. I’ve got about 2 months before consignment sale work kicks back into high gear and I at least need to finish my Disney albums, never mind Thing One and Thing Two’s baby book.
I ran this morning on the treadmill even though I don’t feel great and registered for a group personal training class that meets once a week in June and July. If I’m paying for the class, I have to go, right?
