It Went Well ...

It started
with flowers
and ended

with jewelry.

I gave Joe the Hong Kong Phooey DVD set, some Three Musketeers bars (he recently claimed they are his favorite, although we've been married almost 13 years and never knew it), and a cherry pie (his favorite). I probably got the better end of the deal.

Lucky you! I poured my heart out making Valentine's day gift bags filled with gift cards, goodies and gifts for the husband and boys, and what did I get? . . . . a card and a sweater from the husband. thats all. nothing from the boys. Oh well. I guess they have other girls to think about on Valentine's Day now. I have to admit, I liked it better when they were little and I was the only girl they thought of on Valentine's Day. :( Life marches on.

Nice! I saw a heart necklace in the Sundance catalog two days before Valentine's Day and told the hubby I was going to order it for him to give me. I knew it wouldn't come in time, regular shipping was one week, but I was happy and shocked when it came that afternoon, a thoughtful Valentine surprise from Mr. Redford's company:)

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
