I need to blog about a ton of life events, but when I'm home and there are meals to make and eat, exercise to be done, movies to be watched, dogs to be petted, rooms to be cleaned, husband to spend time with.....well, blogging just falls by the wayside.
Thoughts for today:
1. I am seriously wanting some sushi today. Preferably from Lucy Ho's - I love the sushi there.
2. I hate the smell of mothballs and I hate the smell of cat pee. How do we keep our neighbors cats off our porch? I don't have the heart to catch them and take them to the shelter. This is some one's pet! (But at the same time, I'm pretty sure FL frowns on people leaving their cats outdoors. In fact, if you adopt a kitty from a shelter you have to promise it will be an indoor cat...but I digress)...What do I do to keep them from peeing on my porch and fence and stinking the place up!?!
3. This weekend I sewed pillowcases to bright up our couch pillows and bring in some color. I am SO proud of myself. The covers fit snugly and look great on the furniture.
4. I'm ready for football season to begin. I'm ready for my dad's chili and grilled cheese. I'm ready for Lindy's hot wings and ANY college football game on the big screen with surround sound.
5. We are clipping Wil's nails today. He hates it. We've discovered that if you feed him treats during the nail clipping he could care less what you do with his paws. I have some treats and cheese with his name on them tonight.
6. Going out of town this weekend. We're taking a cruise in October which should be awesome, but it's really hard to put off your big vacation until after the summer. I am SO ready to get out of town this weekend. Our mini-vacations are so much fun.
7. Matt's parents, Marg and Tyson are coming down for a visit next weekend. I have a lot of "tweaking" to do around the house to prepare for the visit. I've kept it pretty clean, but since I've been sewing, it looks likes a spool of white thread threw up in my guest room/sewing room.
8. Hoping to have some fun with my camera on this weekend escape. I'm going to play with lenses and try to get some artistic shots. Making memories, people!
9. Making chili tonight. Mine is a modified version of my dad's. It tastes like home.
10. SO looking forward to our trip home over labor day weekend. I am having some serious homesick moments. Miss my parents, grandparents and Andrea. Looking forward to just being in Florence with family. (Last trip home was in June for my class reunion - sheesh! WAY too long)
11. I have a picture from an old Geico ad that we got in a mailer a few years ago hanging in my office. It's got a picture of a blue jay sitting in front of this ancient computer and says, "So easy, a Blue Jay can do it" - I forgot I had it and saw it today and started laughing.
12. I don't really have anything else to add, I just thought 12 was a good number to end this list.
Happy weekend to ALL!!!
**Update** I got sushi for lunch from Publix with Matt. We shared a tray and it was divine!
