Summer Day #43

Saturday, June 30th.
The last day of June.
It's Meteor Day.
Also there is an extra second tonight.
It's $1 flip flop day at Old Navy.
I with Old Navy would have their $1 flip flop sale before Tropical Smoothie has their Flip Flop for Jetty Punch day or vice versa.
Well no flip flops for us. Evidently we had to be there by 7AM.
Big guy however went looking for a new mini notebook organizer pad. When he did not find one he went walking to find us. Before he found us he stopped in a pet store. Then he had to find me. We all went together to see what he saw. Now we have a new member of the family, Ricky.
I did not get to go finish my shopping for shampoo/conditioner or milk.
Maybe tomorrow before church.

Summer Day #42

Friday, June 29th.
It's the last weekday of June.
Today I made a washer necklace to go with me M-I-L's earring request.
I need to get that packed up and shipped out.
Then I ordered Tastefully Simple from my Consultant Alexandria Snider.
I sprayed the large cookie sheet for my daughter. It's still not dry.
I started a new Words with Friends game. She's kicking my butt.
The big guy wanted Zaxby's for dinner so we tried the new restaurant on the corner of St Augustine and Norman. It was so busy the crew didn't have time for dinning room upkeep. My zalad was good. The milkshakes were not done.
Time for bed. Tomorrow is $1 flip flop day.

Summer Day #41

Thursday, June 28th.
I was just asked - What kind of birds stick together?
The answer (I did not get) was VelCrow.

We all watched the first Ghostbusters movie from 1984, Pre-PG-13. A group of little kids left after about 2 minutes. I guess their summer day care providers do not use Kids-In-Mind.com before they go to the $1 Summer shows.

We headed up to the Spot/Bowling lanes where I played 3 games all by myself and the boys played 5 games. The bill for 13 games with one pair of shoes was $17.

Now to find an alterations.

Saturday, June 23rd.
We caught the 11:45AM show of Brave by Pixar in 3D.
We came home afterwards due to upset bellies from buttered popcorn.
Later the girls went out to use some coupons, gift cards, etc.
Lemon Shakers set up a booth out side Pet Smart fundraising for the Humane Society. I got a Strawberry Lemonaide. It was good. Little boy back at home did not like the seeds or pulp.
The boys are making leaps of progress on their MineCraft game. Some of their buildings are impressive.

Looking forward to Brave.

I've started new games of Words with Friends and DrawSomething. Waiting for other player to take his/her turn.

Getting excited about watching the new Pixar film this weekend.

Two more days until the longest daylight day of the year.

Good talk with the man of the house. It's nice when someone concurs with your perspective and relates to you similar background experience.

Summer Vacation Day #29

Saturday, June 16th.
This morning I headed out for the Church. I thought there was some chores to do before VBS starts next week. It was an unproductive morning.

Back at home I got a computer cart from the boys and unpacked my TinyTaylor to put on it. My big girl wanted to try sewing. I tried showing her then stuck myself with a needle and did not want red spots on her white bag.

Outside I helped our man-of-the-house with some lawn work. I got my Jawbone Up step count to 9,803.

I should go try for two hundred more steps tonight.
Happy Fudge Day.

Summer Vacation Day #28

Friday, June 15th.
Today was Flip-Flop day at Tropical Smoothie. I like Jetta Punch.
Then with the nice non-rain day we spent it at the base outdoor pool.
Friday is done.

Summer Vacation Day #27

Thursday, June 14th.
Flag Day.
We all attended the 10am showing of Karate Kid (1984) at the theater. They played it in Blu-ray so it looked a lot better than I expected after 28 years.
It rained shortly after we got home so not much yard work.

Summer Vacation Days #25 & #26

Tuesday, June 12th & Wednesday, June 13th.
Tuesday evening we had our second week of Summer Mixed Adult/Youth Bowling League. We did pretty good. We took Total. Others commented on my teammate improving.
Wednesday we made a Sam's Club run. The Big Guy wants Cotton Candy for tomorrows show. I am almost finished and ready for Sunday. I need to put the letters on a string for the banner. I'll go shopping for a fresh Porterhouse on Saturday after T-shirt sorting.
But before that I need to get through Thursday.

Summer Vacation Day #24

Monday, June 11th.
Laundry day. I did so much laundry I ran out of laundry detergent.
In between loads I wrapped a few items for next Sunday. Debated on giving him the big one so he could use it tomorrow night or wrap it up. I did neither. While at the wrapping paper bucket I had an OCD moment that finished just as he got home from work. Girl and I determined that two items need to go in a bag. Not a box. Our gift bags are all Christmas themed.
So when I get more laundry detergent I'll also get a new gift bag.
Dinner was grilled cheese sandwich and chicken noodle soup thanks to the down pour of rain.
Monday is over. 24 days down. 57 more to go.

Summer Vacation Day #23

Sunday, June 10th.
It rained today, again.
The others played video game most of the morning.
By afternoon I went and watched Rookie Blue s3, e3.
Then we headed out to go Table Saw browsing.
Back home and watching a Netflix disc. Hopefully someone will get it in the mail tomorrow.

Summer Vacation Day #22

Saturday, June 9th.
I started this rainy Saturday early at the Church for training.
I returned home to pick up the family. First stop Lunch, ABC Soup. We had a little over an hour to waste so we checked out an Office store. Then popped over to see the remodel of Target. Our final destination was Madagascar 3. It was worth it. This time at the theater I said top row. I saw a lot of kids in the hallway and I am tired of my back being kicked.
That's all.

Summer Vacation Day #21

Friday, June 8th.
Tonight for dinner I tried two recipes from Pintrest. The first was Monkey Bread with Bacon, Peppers, & Cheese, and the second was Chili Mac by Campbell's. Neither one impressed me. I will not be trying them again.

Summer Vacation Days #19 & #20

Wednesday, June 6th & Thursday, June 7th.
I did it I finally missed a day. I kept telling myself to do it but I missed it.
I guess it was bound to happen while looking for new things to do / make.
Tonight was my VBS Volunteer Introduction. My girl attended as she will be a Pre-K Crew Assistant.
We came home to find the guys boiling eggs to make deviled eggs.
It was late.
Now it is later.

Summer Vacation Day #18

Tuesday, June 5th.
I am sore.
We bowled out first week of an eight week league today. I forgot how much my thumb and shoulder hurt afterwards.
I am very surprised that the games we bowl in this league go toward the B.O.W.L. drawing.
This morning started off regular at 0dark30. I got three sets of cuff-links glued. They should be ready tomorrow. I need to make some small Oragami boxes out of Baer paint sample cards.
I might make myself one matching washer necklace.
The little boy got a much needed over-due haircut today. This time he almost looks like Tintin. The Beauticians at Moody Beauty Salon know what they are doing. I have never gone to the same Salon for as long as I have here.
The hubby picked up two more disc sets today. Guess who had to enter them into the inventory. Not him, Me.
Next I am having to wait for Netflix to load up today's DVD releases into their availability queue.
Good-night.

Summer Vacation Day #17

Monday, June 4th,
It was a Monday. Laundry day.
I got some work done on a Father's Day card and banner.
After washing our new purple shirts I got three iron-ons on them. I'll finish them in the morning. I have to. They are our bowling shirts and tomorrow is our first bowling night.
I found Doctor Who season 6 Christmas Special 2011 on Netflix and I got to watch it.
Good night.

Summer Vacation Day #16

Sunday, June 3rd.
Another day.
I know sometimes I don't type in complete sentences. It sounds right in my head.
By 1pm the big guy says let go to Waffle House. So ok we went to Waffle House. We finished all that we ordered. And no one got a tummy ache.
My 3/3 sister finally realized I have an iPhone and use iMessage. She had to inform me that that is the only way she communicates with sisters 1/3 & 2/3. How nice, I thought to myself, that every one makes the choice to ignore me and leave me out of the communication loop. It's not like my husband and I are untechy. We have our own family web page. He has a family business page. I got invited to the county school tech committee. I almost went into it about not yet receiving the item our late mother said would be returned to me. But it's Sunday, it's summer time, I have to stay in relaxed mode.
My girl played the Thor movie this afternoon. After wards I learned that the actor playing Thor has a brother playing a character in the Hunger Games.
I got invited to play Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga by my 9 yr old son. We got more pieces in the fourth door.
Then I sent him to go do some reading so we can document that on the scholastic summer reading website.
Looking forward to reading articles about E3 2012 this week.
Now it's back to sleep time.

Summer Vacation Day #15

Saturday, June 2nd.
It was a Saturday. A big morning Saturday. Hair appointments at 0900. Shopping until 1330. Lunch from Fazoli's drive-thru. Got home in time to intercede the FedEx delivery before the man of the house opened his fathers day gift. Helped iron on the freezer paper after the big guy cut it out with the new xacto blade refill I picked up. Then blotted after he painted bleach on the uncovered parts. Tried the sharpie and alcohol on the girl's white shirt. It did not schemer like the video on Steve Spangler's experiment. Had some Xbox time before the Internet went out. Oh yeah, the slow yesterday was the off today. It felt like we did so much today but I'm writing so little.

Almost forgot, Happy Rocky Road Day.

Summer Vacation Day #14

Friday, June 1st.
Two weeks down.
This Friday the Moody Bowling Lanes started the Three Months of Bowl Often Win Large.
I made more entries into the Ruthrauff.net/media inventory.
Mostly Books, Cookbooks and Spring Book Fair books. Then a few Super DVDs.
I did shower today. I wonder what's for dinner.
I finished listening to the Hatfields & McCoys on History.com. Being able to view it is not so easy with our *****y Internet provider.
After a quick boil of angel hair pasta and skillet heated frozen shrimp scampi I am trying to enjoy the first episode of the second season of Melissa & Joey on the ABC Family iPad app. But again with the "slow or unreliable network connection" it won't stay on and in focus.
The hubby says he plans on going my bleach shirt project. I printed out all the shapes for him to cut out of freezer paper. I re-reminded him I have a hair appointment in the morning. So I predict the shirt will not be done by the time I get home. I even plan to take a shopping trip to five other stores tomorrow.
We'll see.
