• Second Wednesday Writing

  Well, today went very well.  Very well, indeed.  I canceled the girls’ therapy appointment for tomorrow since Stephanie is off work tomorrow.  No reason spending gas going all the way out there when I have company arriving that night.  I think I could be more productive around here and missing that one appointment.!

  I moved a few things from today’s list to tomorrow’s list.  Mopping the tile floors & cleaning the guest bathroom can be done tomorrow.  We had good little girls today and happy ones – because I made fish sticks and Kraft mac. & cheese for lunch, then served Little Debbies – all with lemonade.  Who knew it took so little???!!!

  Besides the floors and bathroom, tomorrow I’ll wash the twin and queen bed sheets (beds our guests will be occupying), put the table pad and a tablecloth on the formal table (it’ll take two tables to seat all of us!), grocery shop, and pick up a couple prescriptions.  All very doable.

  In addition to doing all on my list today, I also paid a bunch of bills and did some bank transactions.  AND, made some important phone calls.

  True to my word, here are pictures of the almost still clean desk and the semi-kept-clean bar except for a couple gum wrappers and someone’s “Little Debbie” wrapper.
  

  I am really glad the bedding got folded, bagged in zipper bags, and all pillows stored away.  AND, the fact Lori’s family has a place to sleep tomorrow night is a HUGE plus!  They would have been lost in the mass of quilts, etc. on that king bed!  Rissy’s shelf in her closet even has one empty bottom shelf left for – whatever!  She’s currently storing a can of Glade Lavender Fields on that shelf!
  

  While in Rissy’s closet, I saw my wedding dress again and thought I’d take a front and back picture and then front and back close up picture.  I had seen a dress I loved for $3200.00 (gulp!) and then found something similar but much more plain for $600.00.  So this wonderful friend of mine and I glued approximately 10,000 sequins, beads, and rhinestones to the dress to make it look like the $3200,.00 dress.  Not a bad job, no?

  Here’s the front
  

  and here is the back (lots of pretty silk covered buttons) and rhinestones followed down the center seam to the bottom of the dress.
  

  Since it was my second wedding (first in 1973 & this one in 1998), I chose opalescent sequins that put off a slight pink & yellow shade – making the dress not the traditional stark white.

  NOW, about that mystery picture that I caught this morning – the one over my desk that took on it’s on shape . . .   Get this, I decided to photograph it up close and without a glare and here’s what I got ???
  

  it photographed UPSIDE DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!  It was sitting on sofa cushions right side up.  Isn’t that weird?  Kinda creepy???  Maybe I should get rid of it, since it seems possessed by something all its own!  Just too weird!  I know my camera wasn’t upside down when I took the picture.  But, nonetheless, you can see it doesn’t have a lamp shape base like the photo earlier today showed.  But it’s also not upside down, hanging on my wall!!!!

  And the day wouldn’t be complete if you didn’t see some of my little honeys!!!! 
  

  Along came Luci to be included!  As always!
  

  I promise you, everyone’s hair WAS brushed this morning!!!!
  

  It’s time to leave and pick up Stephanie.  I feel good about what I accomplished today and we’re having chili cheeseburgers for dinner tonight (on paper plates).  So, cooking (and clean up) will be easy!
