Hey.
Have I mentioned how much I hate it when it rains for more than one day in a row? Because, I really do. I mean, I know the rain serves a purpose but I wish it would just do it at night, you know? When I'm asleep. Not watching it. Because then I don't get the backlog of washing that happens with any stretch of rainy days. And we've had crappy weather for over a week now. This is illustrated perfectly by any attempt to enter the laundry. Dirty clothes EVERYWHERE. *sigh*
You can imagine how hard it is keeping a house free of mud and wet leaves when you live with a heap of boys, right? I feel like I'm like the proverbial Mud Nazi around here, poised and ready to strike, eagle eyes on anyone who might bring in more dirt, liable to shriek at any child/older male
daring to enter without wiping their feet -- "STOP RIGHT THERE! SHOES OFF!" I'm short and to the point; gotta keep things simple, you see. *g*
Hope you northern hemisphere girlies are enjoying that warm summer weather!
Anyway.
In other,
much more exciting news, I'm the proud new owner of a bike! As in pedal power, that is, not the Harley Davidson variety *laughs outrageously at the thought* LOL.
That would really stir up the neighbours!
No, it's an Avanti Blade 3.0, to give you bike afficionados the actual details. :) I pick it up next week, and I promise to take a photo for you all then. It's the most snazzy bike I've
ever had in my life and I'm so VERY excited about the thought of riding it! My aging knees are looking forward to less jarring of the joints, also. *g*
I've been flat out doing lots around here lately - spent a whole day on Tuesday weeding and replanting the front two garden beds out front, did some more painting of walls inside the house, cleaned out the toy box in the boys rumpus room (OMG - we must go to McDonalds WAY more than I thought - so many Happy Meal toys!!) and finally got the word that the office computer was ready to be picked up from the repairers (it had loads of viruses, too; turns out the Office PC is an even
bigger slut than Maxine, lol)
This week is the Queens birthday weekend so we get three days off (thanks Your Maj!) during part of which we will be watching Mitch play rep rugby in our State Championships over the Sat/Sun. He's so excited about it already; it's his first time playing at this level of competition and we're all very much looking forward to it. *g*
Still trying to catch up on my flist - so if I've missed something - tell me, ploise!
*group hugs*
