    Default Saving Saturday 8/8/09

    Placed a HUGE ($400+) book order this morning for the anatomy and chemistry classes I'm teaching for the homeschool co-op this fall (it was a combined order for several people so we could get free shipping)

    Real Estate open house again tomorrow, so you know what that means!!!

    Taking DD to a friend's for the afternoon, and picking up a few groceries while I'm in town.

    DS has a youth group function tonight, so I'll be taking him to that

    It's supposed to be 90+ today, so the AC will need to be started at some point, but it's been off for weeks and I hate to do it

    Pay bills

    Menu planning for next week

    Email my hours to the nice payroll lady

    Got a netflix today, so I might watch it later, in my spare time!!!

    Raining here again today. The fog right now is so thick it can be cut with a knife.

    Hoping to get some cleaning done, work on the afghan (that I am really beginning to hate), go for my bike ride inbetween showers, visit with my niece that is coming over this afternoon, attach labels to the finished scrubbies for craft fair and pack them away, and anything else that might come up. Would really love to spend the day working on crafts but I don't think it is going to turn out to be that kind of day!

    I am going to be bonding with my living room, kitchen and sunroom today. Company is coming Friday and there is not much time during the week to do this major work!!

    ...and I am actually looking forward to doing this!!
