Yesterday's Adventures

My adventure yesterday. I got bored so I started taking pictures of everything I was doing and thought it'd make a good (if dull) blog post LOL.

So I decided it was high time I started unpacking again (I had been concentrating on Halloween decorations for the past few weeks). I picked a crate (another stack gone!) and lugged it to the patio to unpack it. It was unreasonably heavy. I opened it up and found this:

CANS?!? REALLY?!? Someone packed CANNED FOOD in a CRATE?!? RIDICULOUS!!! I was pretty sure I had unpacked all the food within the month we moved in!!! This crate could've been used for something a lot more worthy than canned food! 

So whatever, I started going through the canned food.

It turns out, 60% of that canned food expired in 2010..... THREE YEARS BEFORE WE MOVED!! What?!? Someone packed up expired food in a crate and then we moved it with us!!!

RIDICULOUS! Ha ha!

So I dumped the expired food and the rest of the food expires next year, but JUST TO BE SAFE.....I opened up a can of pear halves and sampled it to make sure it was still okay to eat ;)

I'm still alive today, so they must be okay. I might try another can of pear halves just to make double-sure, however, haha!

I wanted to mow, but it was way too rainy:

So instead I decided to work on my drawing. I've been trying to get back to doing some things that I enjoy instead of just cleaning (or finding reasons not to clean) every single moment of every single day. So I started this drawing last week and worked on it for about 20 minutes, getting this much done: (10 points if you know who the subject is!)

And yesterday I worked for about 20 more minutes and finished up with this:

Decent enough, so far. It's been a while so I'm a bit rusty. Still, the only person I need to impress is myself, right?

After that I decided to get back to work. It was still too rainy to mow, but it wasn't too rainy to go pick up the driveway.  Lazy (and probably dumb) people walk or drive past our house and throw garbage into it....so I got all the trash and then moved the chairs into the garage to dry off for the football game tonight, and picked up a few things my husband insisted needed to be left outside but have remained in my driveway untouched except for when I move them to mow. They've been there over a year now. I  moved them into the garage as well.

Lastly, after a day of moderate work, my husband got tickets for D's annual pancake and sausage dinner. It was awesome.....I didn't have to cook!! All the kids enjoyed their meals, 

And we finished off our evening watching our Tank play football.

It was a great day.

:D
