RANDOM RANDOMNESS!

Okay, I'm sick for real. It was bad with the tonsilitis, now it's worse. It's like a bad cold that gets worse every hour. When I lay down I feel like I'm going to hurl. So I have to sit. I don't do a lot of games on the computer (I have Sims 3 days but not every day, I do a little Throne Rush on Facebook and I've taken to what is essentially Yahtzee but is called "Royal Dice" on Facebook as well) I start getting bored. So I came up with these completely random photos to blog about. I'll give some descriptions but basically this is a boring random post about boring random stuff LOL. You can skip this post if you want.

First up [not boring to me lol], I was bored while my daughter and her friend went back-to-school shopping for some jeans! I had to be stern that they HAD to get three pairs of jeans (at least) because my mind is set for autumn and winter and shorts and skirts sometimes aren't warm enough. 

 Then while they (and the other four kids) were trying on their jeans and other clothes to make sure they fit I started perusing the jewelry isle and found some things for my wish list:

 A California neclace!!

And a set of camera earrings!!
SO AWESOME!

So here is the one outfit we let our daughter get. She's very proud of it:

That's a real tie so I've been showing her how to tie a tie ;)

I remember I said I'd take a picture of the horrid mess I have yet to unpack. Brace yourselves:

The Horror

Everything I've unpacked so far and look at that. It looks like I have a LOOOOT of getting rid of to do.

The above picture is the one section I've been working on and as you can see I have gotten through about a fifth of it (look back in the blog for the before picture). The other day I took that bottom green crate on the right so technically I finished the column ;).

While I was unpacking I let Igor wander around the yard to graze. He found the hose to the pool's pump quite interesting.

So here was the crate I decided to unpack:

Usually after I unpack a crate I clean the crate up (they are getting dusty in the garage), but this crate I held off because I found this:

Yeah, that's a bunch of baby spiders. I left the crate out overnight (I did check all the stuff I brought in to make sure there were not spiders on/in it) but the next day they were still there so I hosed 'em off.

Here is the fruits of my labors:

One of my husband's binders and a mini chalkboard, a vintage Danville Wings megaphone and a bunch of my husband's hats. Also [not pictured] my "Jade" chess set. I'm not sure if it's real Jade or not, but the box is made with real leather trimming, so it could be real (I'm not a jade expert). It just seems so grainy and the jade I'm familiar with is always smooth, so I don't know. In any case it's not a full set and many pieces are broken. I set it up in my glass cabinet with the best looking pieces out where I can look at it whenever I want.

I finally started taking pictures with my phone, so you might start seeing some of them. A few weeks ago my husband and I decided that it was high time we both had our very first brand-new bikes ever. So we went to quite a few stores looking at prices. We finally found some on sale at Walmart for $70 each.

Looking at bikes.

We took them home and "pimped" 'em out a little with some lights so the motorists would be able to see us:

You can't tell in this picture but we each have a headlight, a tail light, and lights around the body. The Mr's is blue and mine are multi-colored which makes it look like a Christmas Bike LOL. As we've driven around the neighborhood we have received many comments such as "sweet bikes!" "I love those bikes!" "I want a bike like that!" and "Are you guys in a parade?"

LOL!

We were biking every other night and walking the other nights but since we've been sick we haven't done anything. The Mr is better but I seem to be getting worse every day.

Random pictures:
Me at the public pool:

So crowded (Sarcasm).

My stepdaughter at the public pool. Believe it or not she requested I put this on Facebook. I declined but I can put it on here. ;)

My daughter at the pool:

Me with "Convertible Hair:"

And finally! My Diva has finally entered middle school (they call it Jr High out here). I laughed because her locker was pretty big and I bet her that she was still so small she could fit right in it! She of course wanted to know for sure...:

I guess if your mom is the one who puts you in your locker (and doesn't shut the door) it's all right, right? LOL!!

Anyways.....here's to hoping I get better ~ because I don't like being miserable. :)

Love to ya.
