Cool Weather, How I’ve Missed Ya!

Oh y’all we are having the MOST wonderful weather.  The extreme summer heat is behind us and I am practically giddy about it.

I actually worked in my workshop on Saturday morning and sweat did NOT drip into my eyes, thus blinding me from being able to see if I was drilling holes in the right places.  The older kids helped me work and the little ones played in the yard while I pretended the heat wasn’t coming back.  I like to psyche myself out like that.  You know those people that tell themselves they have to be somewhere 30 minutes early so they’ll be on time. I tell myself the heat is gone so I will be more productive.

I had to stop mid-day to have lunch with some friends.  I hate to tell you this because it might make you think I am spoiled, but I had lunch out 4 days in a row last week!  It was the weirdest thing.  I haven’t had lunch with a friend in like, a year, then all of a sudden BAM!  I’m like a New York socialite.

My lunch date on Thursday was with 3 of my daughters at a local Mexican place.  We were thrift shopping and they needed to run some errands, so we made an afternoon of it.  I picked up some fun, little things at the Habitat Restore while we were there.  I used this cool junk in a post for Life Your Way today.  But you’ll have to go there to see what I did.   You’ll love it.

But since you’re here I’ll tell you this…..I got a few other things for future projects too!

I picked up these really cool old metal napkin dispensers.  I’m planning to do something for the boys’ bathroom with them.  They don’t have a key, so I thought, “Oh, that will be easy enough to find a key for them.”  Um…no.  I stayed up late Saturday night searching the world wide web.  I had no idea that there are like 250 different possibilities for keys for these things.  I’m not sure what to do, but I am sure I own 5 towel dispensers that I have no use for because I CAN’T OPEN THEM!

Excuse me.  I got a little frustrated there.

On Sunday I was just so glad to have a whole day at home that I stayed in my pajamas all day.  What with so many lady lunches and all, I needed a rest.  I hung with the kids, filled a few shop orders and took a nice long nap.  It was one of those lazy, do nothing days that I long for the rest of the week.

And now we’re off to another fun-filled week at The Point.  School, cooking, laundry, piano lessons…you know, the usual.

Have a blessed week!
