This, that and about 30 other things
I have survived the Week of Crumminess and also the weekend of Too Much Fun. Thought I would hit the high spots to aid with the general catching-up.
The Meet the Candidates event we held here in Lamar on Saturday was fun. It was almost like a big party, easy on the speeches, heavy on the chat and entertainment. I worked the voter registration booth and we added 9 people to the rolls, which works out to a county increase of a factor of 0.0017! Woo!
Then I went home and collapsed.
Sunday (after a nice 10 hours of sleep) I was re-vivified enough to make it to the semi-annual Friends of the Library sale. Mike was my helper this year, and he did a very good job, earning himself a DVD set he's been wanting about model train layouts. I was also pleased to discover the library videos that I KNEW Mike dropped in the returns drawer, but which had never been counted as returned, in the library sale. They had somehow gotten put in the donations box rather than being checked back in. Yay for personal vindication!
Then I went home and collapsed some more.
Yesterday, because of all the drama and collapsing and what-not, I had to pretty much spend the whole day on errands and on packing up four days worth of things we sold, so I could go mail them. At least I didn't QUITE collapse at the end of the day. Just sat around a lot, watched Heroes (which the clone and I are liking quite a lot) and then went to bed early at 11.
Today I am just doing the usual listing and puttering, but in between I have been having fun sorting out some pictures my mom scanned and sent to me. Like this one of me as a maniacal young bride ducking rice, circa 1972.
More later, as the catching up proceeds.
