Things that Begin With the Letter S

I was able to haul off an entire trunkload of recycling Saturday morning,so that was really awesome. It just really bothers me now to throw away something that could be recycled and it only took my sister and I like ten minutes to dump stuff in the bins.

I did go to A the coworker's apartment and helped her hang up twenty things ranging from decorative shelves, pictures, clocks and mirrors. I have one mirror hanging in my bathroom and it came with the house. Lol. She likes deep reds and sage green accents with some black, brown and golds. Her theme is sort of a world traveler theme. We did make cheese manicotti with spaghetti sauce afterwords with ants on a log as an appetizer (celery with peanut butter and raisens on top). We watched two episodes of Season 1 of Grey's Anatomy and I did get a few rows in on the Splash blanket.

I mostly worked on the Splash blanket today. I am halfway through skein two. I also listened to the latest episode of Lime and Violet. I think one of the reasons why I like their podcast is because I used to live within an afternoon's drive of the general area that they live in, so they will talk about local things and it feels like I am back home in away.

My sister the slob finally cleaned up all of her crap! PRAISE THE LORD!!!! I thought I was going to have to throw it all in her room. I just don't like piles of stuff all over the place, because I am one of those people that trips over everything. I will freely admit that I am sort of a neatfreak and I am definitely the Felix in our relationship.

the lawn boys fixed their lawn mower and were able to finish mowing our lawn this afternoon. I am really excited about that. I don't like having a shitty looking lawn. With all the heavy rain we had this season, we weren't able to properly treat for weeds and our yard has 20 types of weeds growing in our yarn, so the grass doesn't get very long but the damn weeds do.

Today, I did all of my Finance and AIS homework. YAY FOR ME. I did more homework today then my sister, which was a shocker because I hate doing homework and she loves it. Now I just have to do my tax homework for class on thursday. I am trying to stay caught up because I am spending Labor Day weekend with Sunshine, so I don't want have to mess with it while I am there.

I also watched The Goonies and Stand By Me and The Two Coreys. It was kind of like an unofficial Corey Feldman day. Stand By Me is one of my all time favorite movies and I always watched The Goonies growing up whenever it was on tv. I also watched the first two episodes of Big Love Season 1. I checked out the entire season from MY LIBRARY. How cool is that? I am very fortunate to have a really good library nearby. They have been expanding their DVD collection recently and this set was a two week rental. We don't get HBO, so I was having to watch season 2 while I was on business trips staying in hotels. The same thing with Bravo. I also got a couple of David Sedaris books to read, however, I think I like Augusten Burroughs better. David Sedaris books are really good though.

I don't want to work this week. The week leading up to a Holiday weekend always drags for me and it's pay day and closing the books for the month week. It's weird too because Labor Day weekend means that my birthday is getting closer and the Dallas trip to see Dave Matthews Band in concert. YAY! I am so excited about that. Sometimes i like to walk over to my bookcase just to look at the tickets. yes, I am a dork.

A and her family are also moving back to my time zone this weekend. Now they will only be about three hours or so away. They will also be a lot closer to their families, so I think it will be a good thing.

Anyways, I think I am going to bed now. Monday mornings are hard to get up for. LOL.
