Friday's Mission

Totally flaked last night, sorry!

Well the wrapping paper is no longer needed. I'd left the doll, in her box, sitting next to the table until I could find it and wrap it. Was getting ready to leave this morning, grabbed my keys off the table and noticed someone had tipped over a bottle of water (the lid was on, but loose, so whoever it was probably didn't know it was leaking.) The doll is fine, but the box was soggy. Me and Kota took her out of her box so she wouldn't get wet, I'll have to pick up a gift bag or something.

Landi, that is a great idea, lol!

Busy day here, balanced my aunts check book and wrote some checks, went to the bank for her, and then sis and I went to Costco for shopping.

Sis and bil bought the baby a rocking horse and she was saying (er, sis that is) that she thought it'd be cute to get her a cowgirl hat and little boots. Costco has their halloween costumes out so I stopped to look through those to see if they had a little cowgirl outfit (nope.) But, I did help out someone else, lol. There was a dad with his little girl going through the costumes and she couldn't make up her mind. Finally settled on the little mermaid and dad said, but that's what you were last year! I looked at the little girl, she was wearing a tinker belle tshirt. Since I'd just seen the Tinker Belle costume in the back of all the others, I pointed it out to them. When I passed them a while later, they had the Tinker Belle costume and little girl said "Thank you!" So no cowgirl costume for little niece, but another little girl walked out with a cute costume.

Took the groceries and aunts money back to her, now waiting for Darren to get home. Not sure how much housework I'll get done today though.

Aww that's a sweet Tinkerbell story!

What if.... since baby niece is too young to know or particularly care about who gives her the present, she just will be excited to see her presents.

So, if you're missing the doll's box and wrapping paper... what if you posed the doll on the rocking horse with a big bow on dolly's wrist? Don't know if the doll has movable legs to make that possible. But, then again, presents are more exciting when they're done in stages. Enjoy the pony. Then enjoy the doll. So that might not work. Looking forward to reading how it all plays out.

What do you want to bet? When the party is over, the first thing walking into your house afterwards, you will stumble over that tube of Dora the Explorer wrapping paper. Never fails to happen.

That reminds me of a fond memory. Years ago, 1998, I helped build the playground across the park. Sold the most $25 bricks of the playground (one of my major accomplishments in life) which were sold to buy the playground toys. Not only going out around the neighborhood with fliers to buy one's personalized brick & hauling a brick to show, I kept replenishing fliers with pre-addressed envelopes I printed out next to the cashiers at work. (That's how they figured I sold the most bricks, because of the pre-addressed envelopes returned.) So people could grab while paying their utility bills. Our service center was just kitty-corner from the park and the company was very supporting of the park. I also bought 2 bouncer toys for toddlers, in memory of my friend that died.

Later for several years I was an adult "Friends of the Forest" at Halloween. The community with donated candy, cider, apples from neighborhood businesses, would stage the Halloween event where kids would go up and around the springs and duck pond & over the bridges at the park. Safe but fun way to keep kids out of the streets.

So that year I was dressed as the "Wizard of the Woods" complete with my battery operated lighted thunderbolt, passing out candy. Borrowed my Sister's great, really creative Merlin costume.

I see this couple carrying their toddler, little girl obviously too young to walk, coming towards across the park. She's dressed in a prissy outfit with a long yellow braid dangling to the ground by her Dad's feet.

Can't imagine how in the depths of my memories it burst out. Waving my thunderbolt I yelled "Rapunzel Rapunzel, let down your golden haaiiiirrrr!"

That Mom and Dad were so EXCITED! They came over and told me that they had worked the way around the whole park and I was the very first person that had figured out her costume.

I was surprised to recognize the Dad when they came closer too. He was one of the 'Fathers of the Playground' back when we built the playground. I had shown up each weekend giving support (& earning grant money for my time spent) while the Dads (more volunteer grant money) were digging the holes for the playground toys. They did some HARD work & a lot of time digging those holes since we're in a wetland. Glacial til, it was like pickax chipping into cement to dig those holes.

So Rapunzel's Dad had been volunteering in anticipation that someday he would have his own kid at the playground. That was when it really came home to me that all that work was meant to create. Like I said, good memories.

LOL Bisc, you are probably right, we'll come home from the party and I'm going to find the dang roll of wrapping paper.

I don't think I could get the doll to sit on the horse. Her legs move back and forth but doesn't bend at the knees, she'd probably fall off.

For middle nieces last birthday, we gave her a doll in the same line as this one. Middle nieces has blond hair and kinda looks like her. She loves the doll, it's the one that goes with her everywhere and baby niece has always loved that doll. And of course it's the one doll middle niece has that she doesn't want her baby sister playing with. When I saw Costco had those dolls out again, I knew that's what I was getting littlest niece. Hers is brunette (like she is) and a different outfit. Hehe, I could probably walk up and toss it at her and she'd be happy after all the oooh'ing and aaah'ing she's done over her sisters doll.

Your Halloween event sounds like a lot of fun! Totally cool too that you knew who the little girl was supposed to be, lol.

Selling bricks is such a great fund raiser. They can be bought for very little, they're fun to look at, and people are willing to pay much more for something more tangible than a raffle ticket or bar of chocolate. LOL, I was checking out the "brick" wall at the high school the other day, each brick painted with a design or a written message. What a great way to raise money for a park that benefits so many others.

Great Stories Biscottiii, love hearing how fund raisers and hard work really to pay off in time.

Lets see, we closed early for the holiday, so I left at 1:20ish, and barely made my bus, he pulled out 1 minute early (I really need to email about that, it is just not acceptable when the bus only runs once an hour now). Came home and put the house back together from cleaning, it looked great but Lisa usually puts a few things in different places, LOL.

I made a list of some small projects that I want to accomplish while I am off this week. But I was so tired that yesterday I just turned on Tennis and ended up taking a nap until about 7pm! It was hot so I had the AC running.

Now, it sort of feels like rain outside but it is supposed to get up to 90! I have cleared out some old emails that have been hanging around, rated a product I bought, and cleaned out my address book. I think I will be sealing the slate in the foyer and repotting a plant today and maybe do a little re-organizing in my bedroom closet.

Oh and I am watching my tapes.

3 day weekend Dipo? Or 4?

Darren has a 3 day, but took a vacation day Tuesday so it's 4 days. He did that so he could be off for Kota's first day at a new school, take her and pick her up. Then last week we got a call from the school about the bbq they're having the day before school starts and first day info and we realized that school doesn't start Tuesday, starts Wednesday! At least he'll be able to go with us to the bbq Tuesday afternoon/evening, but both he and Kota were disappointed he's going to miss the first day.

That sucks about the bus running early. People depend on it to be there when it's supposed to be, not early.

I've been getting some stuff done this morning. No great accomplishments though, lol. I shaved my legs. Ran to the pharmacy to pick up a gift bag and dropped off some prescriptions. I think they hate seeing me come, lol. I had one for inhalers, but Kota doesn't need those yet. They'll hold it and then when she needs it all I have to do is call it in. Then a rx for allergy eye drops for her. And another eye drop, an antibiotic one for when she had her eye infection. Doesn't need that one yet (so another on hold) but dr wanted her to have it in case she starts the eye infection again. Finally her accutane, which is where we had the problem. They don't have it in stock and won't get it til Tuesday. Problem is because Dakota is a girl and has to take the pregnancy tests to get the prescription, we have a window of five days to get it or they can't fill it til she goes through another pregnancy test and dr visit. Latest we can get it is Monday. So she had to call around to the other Walgreens to see if anyone had it in stock, luckily one did, but it is in Quartz Hill so Kota and I took a drive. We'll have to go pick it up tonight or tomorrow.

We got the doll in the bag, but there's no way to hide it, even with tissue paper, she doesn't sit upright all that well. So I think we'll just give it to her when we get there instead of waiting for present time.

full week, LOL. I took 4 days off to add to the Monday I get. Yay!

I am sure that your present will be very well received regardless of its wrapping.

I have moved the stuff out of the foyer, wiped down the baseboards and wiped down the floor just in case it needed it, so will do the sealing when it cools off and I have repotted one plant. It is now getting pretty hot, so will just kick back for a while.

Glad you liked the stories, it was pretty fun for me to relive such a pleasant time & that Halloween Costume @ Costco triggered my memory. I ended up buying a number of bricks myself, plus my Sis bought one for each of her family including the grandkids so we have a whole family block. When I had foot surgery, instead of flowers being sent, the crews bought me a brick. I hobbled over with my crutches after the 2nd batch was inscribed to discover the surprise:

"Bisc, Put Your Best Foot Forward!"

One I bought for a lovely neighbor lady. Going through cancer treatment and couldn't afford one. I had gotten a sizable settlement at work, really didn't have any particular needs, but felt like I deserved a "splurge" after waiting 7yrs for that settlement. So I surprised her with a brick saying the same as on her business card, nicely centered.

"Mary Ellen R*
Quilter"

When they installed the 1st set of bricks, she managed the strength to walk with a friend to the park just to see it. Later at her memorial service, her kids were upset that she requested her ashes be scattered from a ferry boat and they had no tombstone to visit. I told the story of her brick and showed them a picture. They were shocked and pleased, eager to see it themselves. Really gave them comfort.

One of my favorite bricks is the one saying:

"This Side Down"

My family has certainly gotten mileage from the playground too. When my Sis brings up her kids & grandkids for summer vacations, of course, they have to go play and check out their bricks.

So I guess you can see why this house was the one I bought (1st one I looked at). Even though I had a sizable down payment I had no credit other than a $500 Bon Marche card, that I didn't use. Had been bankrupted over 10yrs before by my EX-husband and was terrified of credit. When the mortgage bank guy (City program to help employees with closing costs to keep us in the city) saw the pictures of the bouncer toys and the park, he said "This is exactly what we want, people involved with their community." And he went running to his printer for the pre-approval statement. I've never been late even once on my payment since, so it was a good match. Best investment I ever made.

Nice Biscotiii..and great job on the mortgage. It used to be a lot easier to tell the good guys who deserved a chance on a mortgage than we can do now.

I finished sealing the slate in the foyer and at the fireplace, plus while I had the sealer out I did the granite on the kitchen island.

My sister left me some home grown tomatoes so I am going to make some gazpacho, so I went up to trader joe's to pick up a couple of things I need for the recipe, then went to Starbucks for some coffee. Oh, I walked, and when I got home I was sweating so turned on the AC and have been watching my tapes and HGTV.

So that is probably it for today, just want to read the paper. Oh I forgot, I had a notice of a baby sale at target so I went shopping for my girlfriends baby shower in October. Got some great stuff, I mainly bought the online stuff since I figure most people will go to the store. There is some amazing and cute stuff out there, LOL.

This dang doll, oh my gosh! Lost wrapping paper, soggy box, trying to squeeze her in a gift bag, argh!

Ok, baby niece loved her doll. Sis texted a pic this morning of her sound asleep clutching it and told me today that she has carried it all over the house with her, she loves it.

What did I say the other day though? I bought middle niece the same doll for her birthday, except she had blond hair and baby nieces brunette. She wouldn't let baby niece play with it. Apparently I had a major "duh" moment!

Baby niece pulled that doll out of the bag and middle niece shot me the most accusing, offended look ever. She said, "That's what I wanted!!!" I said, "Huh? I bought you the same doll last year for your birthday." She said, "Did not! You bought it for (big sis) and she won't let us play with it!" And then I remembered. I bought the little blond doll for oldest niece for Christmas and she hasn't let her little sisters play with it at all. It's oldest niece who takes her doll with her and fixes her hair. I knew I'd seen that doll here at my house with one of the girls, just got the wrong one, lol! Oops!

Middle nieces birthday is in November. I'll be picking up another little blond doll at Costco next time I am there, lol.

We didn't do too much today. I went by the pharmacy to pick Kota's prescription up, still have a couple at the pharmacy closest to my house and Caleb's accutane at Costco. Also dropped Kota off to spend the night at her friends house.

Oh, oh, and bad auntie strikes twice in one weekend. Dakota's friend called this morning and asked if Kota could spend the night, I said yes. Kota was actually getting her bag together and getting ready to leave when oldest niece called me and asked when I was picking her up. I was completely blank for about a minute before it dawned on me, I'd told her she could spend the night tonight! Aw crap, I'd completely blanked on it. Then I had to tell her I'd forgotten and told Kota she could go to her friends. I felt so bad. Promised her I'd pick her up tomorrow and we'd plan a bunch of girlie stuff to do. I still have to take Kota to buy some shirts for school and niece has some clothes shopping to do so told her we'd go shopping, then out for ice cream, and girlie movies at home.

Whew War! That was quick thinking. And everyone will have a great time too. One thing about it, you won't have to spend time figuring what to buy middle niece for her birthday in Nov. and what would please her most. Thankfully it's not too far away.

Dipo, I absolutely LOVE gazpacho! I think the best I ever had was at a picnic. They put crab in it. I'm salivating just thinking about it. To keep it cold, they put in a two gallon wide necked thermos. Do you have a good recipe? I've never made it myself.

Monday and Tuesday's Missions

Sorry about not posting Monday's mission, the holiday threw me off, kept thinking it was Sunday, lol!

Heh, Bisc, having a birthday present two months ahead of time will be a record for me!

We spent the day doing a lot of nothing. It was nice. We did take Kota to practice and that was kind of interesting, lol. Between the holiday and the coaches deciding today would be pitcher/catcher practice, we only had five girls show up. Big treat for them, on such a huge team, to have only 5 girls and 3 coaches! Lots of one on one time and practicing time.

Tomorrow I'm taking the girls shopping and then oldest niece will go home and we'll take Dakota to the bbq/tour of her new school. Not much else planned except a little housework and laundry.

No problem on Monday, I took the day off, LOL.

This morning I went out and had birthday breakfast, that was fun, then picked up some great boxes at Tuesday Morning so I can get rid of my 1970's jewerly box. Then stopped at goodwill and dropped off some books, then to Best Buy so my sister could get a new microwave (I bought it as her birthday present for November, I never know what to get her and this was a perfect present!) We got her a great microwave for $60!

Then I ended up buying myself a new computer for my birthday, LOL. I have been looking into one since July, and I went ahead and bought a new modem so I can return the Comcast one(it costs $5 per month so I have probably paid for it at least 50 times!) and a wireless router so I can finally set my house up for wireless activty.

Finally we swung by Safeway because I had a bunch of plastic bags to recycle from my home deliveries. Lisa brought me a bunch of her tomatoes and peppers so I am going to make some more gazpacho and needed olive oil. Berollis extra virgin was on sale from $11.89 to $8.00 so I got two, and I needed a birthday card for my friend.

So all chores done, with a few extra purchases (I hadn't planned on the computer purchase - it was a great deal as well only $580) so I had a great day.

No cleaning, just errands and recycling stuff.

Wednesday's Mission

Hope you had a very happy Birthday, Dipo! I'm glad you took the day off, lol!

Today was a busy day. Got up and scrubbed the kitchen top to bottom. Cleaned the living room much the same way and did a couple loads of laundry. Watched Dexter with Darren for a bit before sis showed up and we took the girls (Kota and oldest two nieces) school clothes shopping.

That took forever, or closer to two hours. I complained how hard it was last week to clothes shop for Dakota with her thick, muscled lower body, long torso and short arms and legs. Let me tell you, my nieces are tiny, and it was just as hard to find stuff for them as it is for Dakota. We were at Walmart, it shouldn't be that hard to find a little girls size 7! Finally we made it out, four shirts, a belt, and some underclothes for Kota, 4 outfits, shoes, and socks for each niece.

Then back home for a while for Kota to show off her new clothes to dad before we headed off to the school. We got her schedule, found her classes, found the nurses office and met the nurse (if Kota follows her normal patterns, she'll be seeing a lot of the nurse,) and went by her math class to see if the teacher (last name only listed) was Caleb's math teacher from last year. It was and Kota is very happy about that, not only does she know the woman from being Caleb's teacher, but she also did math tutoring last year and Dakota went to see her on a semi-regular basis. Then home for dinner, the traditional laying out of school clothes for the first day of school (the outfit changed six times, no joke,) and going through the backpack to make sure everything is there. Phew.

Tomorrow I'm doing the rest of aunts grocery shopping, picking up prescriptions at the pharmacy, and enjoying the little bit of time I have the house to myself.

Happy belated Birthday, Dipo!!!
I see you had yourself a great day. Congrats on the puter and going wireless.

And Kota is decked out for the new school year, too. It looks like things are falling into place.

Yesterday, I took the fridge apart. Dh likes all kinds of different condiments - for about a week. Then they sit in the fridge until he gets a hankering for them again (often doomsday, if not later). Not allowed to turf them, I spread them around the fridge, likes together, and gave myself more shelf space higher up, and I yanked out one of the bins for shelf space. He just discovered that something was different. That'll teach him going for a long shopping trip.
Before that, I baked a German apple cake and 4 dz muffins. Knitting in front of the tube in the evening. Heck, I even did the before bed routine, shiny sink, hotspots and all.
Now I am off to tackle some messy kitchen cupboards.
Keep on keepin' on, DGs (domestic goddesses)!

LOL, my B-day is actually the ninth, I just celebrate it for at least a week. Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes.

I moved some stuff of my balcony in prep for doinga powerwash, and ran the dishwasher.

Just goofing off today, need to straighten up a bit and then have investment club tonight.

Heh, then we're all early for birthday wishes!

Oh, I'm so lazy today it's not even funny. Not quite by choice. I'm in the beginnings of a headache and looking at the date it's my like clockwork hormone triggered migraine about to make an apparence. Came home from dropping Kota off, ate a banana and set here feeling rather spacey. Went to grab the mail (my one accomplishment so far, btw) and came back in and set down thinking I'd watch a little netflix instantly watch tv. The Golden Age of Egypt, wish I could tell you if it was any good, but I only saw about four minutes of it before I was out cold. Only slept for about an hour and I was awake at least three times that I remember clearly, woke up the last time feeling awful and grabbing for excedrin.

Already talked to sis, we're either going to Costco this evening while the girls are at practice (Darren won't be there but bil will) or tomorrow. She told me she'd forgotten how quiet her house could be with the two older girls at school and was enjoying it, lol.

I am posting this here so next week we can all laugh at me, cuz I am sure to forget!

Got a postcard in the mail from waste management, after 12 years (that we've been here) they are changing our trash pick up day from Thursday to Wednesday starting next week. We set here talking about it yesterday so everyone in the family knows we'll be a day ahead. The postcard is hanging on the front door at eye level so we'll see it when we walk out the door. And I'm willing to bet money that for the next couple weeks at least, me and Kota will be leaving for school on Wednesday morning, here the trash man, and realize we have to hurry and try to get the cans on the curb before he gets here.

Thursday's Mission

Capped off my lazy day by taking Kota to practice (omg it was freezing cold and windy!) Nasty enough the coach called it early today. Came home and filled out Dakota's school packet stuff. Every year it seems like there is more and more paperwork.

Not a great practice, besides the cold and wind. Dakota never even complained about her knees, but when the girls were running their lap, she fell further and further behind. One of the things the coaches stress is team work, so when they run, the faster runners slow down a bit and the slower runners speed up a bit so they can stay together. Normally she's able to keep up, today she finally waved them on and cut across the field hobbling. Even had a couple parents come up and ask me if she hurt herself and had to explain it was a side effect of her medicine. Then to make matters worse, as she was running bases she slipped in the dirt and landed on her left leg and knee. Brought her home and did ice/heat/ice for a while. She's pretty sore now between the joint pain and landing on that leg.

Good thing though is no practice the rest of the week. Thursday is usually a day off and they have an early game (way too freaking early for a Saturday morning!) Saturday so no practice Friday evening. Will give her a chance to rest and recover some.

Tomorrow...Costco trip. Dang, something else I was supposed to do too and I can't remember what it was. Also some housework and laundry.

Got the laundry pulled out of the closet and sorted. Cleared off part of the patio and let my downstairs neighbors know I would be power washing. Good thing since they wanted to show my how the water comes down on the rafters and discolors them, LOL. I let them know there isn't much we can do about that since that is the reason there is space between the wood decks. He wants to put some plastic up or something and since I am on the board he wanted to ask me about it.

Anyway, I did part of it then my sister arrived for my birthday (I thought the birthday lunch was my present but she had other ideas.) So she got me some solar powered lights to put on my balcony, way cool, and a lattee thingie that you can use to froth up the cream, something I really wanted, and a beautiful plant. Then we went and picked up my computer. And THEN she finished power washing the deck! What a great present, LOL.

So while she did that I downloaded the software for my new modem and got that set up (that will save me $5 per month and is something I have been meaning to do for months). Now I need to read about the wireless router so I can hook that up AND THEN I can play with my new computer, LOL.

I guess laundry will be for tomorrow.

The powerwash made me decide to bring in the balcony litter box, I haven't liked having it out there for a while but hadn't figured out where I could put it in the house.

It is in one of those nice houses so I finally figured out I can hide it in a corner of the "dining room" on the far side of the hutch and it won't be that noticeable. Then I realized I don't care if it is over there and I am the only one around, LOL. I rarely have dinner parties or other people over, we always go out, so who cares, LOL.

Anyway this led me to walk up to Pet express and pick up another litter locker. I need to clean it up a bit from the weather exposure and I think I have a new/clean kitty box in my storage room so I will pull that out and we'll be good to go.
