So, just where did that summer go? We had a wonderful summer, but I can't believe it's time for the school/sports/etc. rat race again.
We had a rainy weekend, so my husband took the opportunity to hang four new doors on our upstairs bedroom and closet doorways. The only thing we HAVEN'T touched now, since we've moved in is our front entry way and family room/den. I'm sure those projects aren't far behind.
I took the opportunity to do some filing. Actually, it ended up that 90% of it was from 2004 and I just shredded it all anyway. I must have sorted it out at some point and then got pulled away to do something else and just put it all on the filing cabinet, so that's all caught up.
Oh, and we bought a new car!! After we came home fron NC, our 1998 Grand Caravan turned 100,000 miles. We did just, unfortunately, put $800 into the car before we left, but it did get us down and back safely. My transmission had been "iffy" for a good couple of months, so we bit the bullet and got a 2006 Town and Country minivan. It's gold, because it came with Sirius. The green (magnesium pearl) that I wanted did not have Sirius, and we'd rather have it built into the radio than a take-along receiver, so that's that.
The night before, I was getting the title out for the trade-in and it was exactly 8 years ago that we bought the van. I should have played the numbers 821.
Um, what else..
I did just recently break away from most of my message board posting. It WAS taking up a lot of my time, and just in the past two weeks, I have done small projects to keep me busy, rather than hit No New Messages, or sit on the computer, waiting for a post. I found that I am reading blogs more regularly now to see "what's going on" with a few gals, and I'm commenting on them as well. I'm also reading more and watching TV "better" at night. Who knows if that is a good trade-off or not, but for now, I think I made the right decision.
Gonna end it here for now. I think the upstairs is waiting for me to vacuum it before dinner!!
