The big to do...

So, Friday is scrap night at my house...I changed it from Saturday to Friday, evidently thinking I needed no time to prepare....odd thought wasn't it? So, after checking my calendar it appears I have 6 hours between now and then that aren't scheduled. Gee, what will I do with all that time? AAAGGGGHHHHH!!!! So, today I begged my MIL to please help me clean. But, the rest is up to me...I still have to get my desk moved upstairs. I have all my totes in place in my new scrape space...but really nothing sorted or put away. Today, I have only a 12 hour day on the books, and then I MUST, MUST, MUST...not lay down when I get home, but instead do laundry and work on the house. Better eat my wheaties! I did get up a half hour early today and folded two loads of laundry and washed another one, so that is a start. I tried to finish reading the paper last night but dozed off. I got through the sale ads and of course, that's what counts!

The exciting news is that my husband said last night...should we trade the truck in on your new van? What? Did I hear you correctly? Gee, why didn't I ever think of that brilliant idea? After he said that though, I felt a bit sad...and so did Kristina -- she was little teary in fact. She said, we have too many good memories in our truck to sell it. (Now there's a girl after my own heart!) True enough...that truck is by far the nicest vehicle we ever owned...and yes we do own it (no payments!!! hooray!) but it is at 120k and it's 8 years old, so maybe he's right. We have had the best family vacations in that truck, and birthday party excursions, and scrapbooking trips, and work road trips, and moving this and that from here to there...but alas... this may be able to change my mind! Seats seven, lots of luggage room, 3 sunroofs, built in GPS, TV's, and IPOD compatible :) Mostly what I love about it is this... You know I need a lot of sunshine and the Quest delivers! So perhaps this weekend we can cram in some car shopping. I told Kevin yesterday that NOW is the time to test drive a car to check the ride...since the streets have NEVER been worse, it is a great time to gauge performance!

Until next time...
