Sunday.....

for some reason beyond my understanding, we have adopted another guinea pig. He is very pretty but will not come out of his house. I chased him around the cage for awhile today and finally caught him. Maybe he will settle down after he is used to us. Name? I have no idea... "they" called him Cuddles.
I was digging around in the mess called a sewing room.... now being transfered to a laundry room etc, and found the stuff I forgot to give the girls for Valentines day so they will get it for Easter. How did it get to be Easter already? It was just Christmas.......I remember when I was in school (yes I can remember that far), and it seemed an eternity til school was out and then til Xmas.... now it seems like each month is a day.
Aundrea is out of school early all this week so I guess I better find her a project to do or she will drive us crazy. Maybe I have something she can paint cause when she sees my bunnies she will want to do one.
I bought Sharon's kiln last week, now it will still take awhile to get it set up and we still have to run 220 out in the garage for it. And it seems we have a dozen projects going all at once. Roy is painting the stairway.... in the house... then I am hoping to paint the bedroom just before we leave for the ocean. Then we can close off the bedroom and open the windows... maybe it won't rain. The doggie kids will just have to sleep downstairs for a couple of days. They both had baths today and tomorrow get flea stuff. I would do it tonight but then Nick would come to bed with me with wet flea stuff on and stink up the place. Will do it in the morning and he can go lay on my bed with out me.
OK off with me to finish my book.

The "Project" is on the way........

After school today, Aundrea and I went to the post office and mailed the "project" to Gina. Aundrea picked out a pretty flowered envelope and a matching address label. She wanted to write the label herself but I vetoed it cause she still writes very large. She put a couple of other little suprises in there too.
Her 2 front top teeth have been loose. So on the way home from school on Monday she lost one..... and the tooth fairy gave her $3 for it. Then Tuesday night she lost the other one and got another $3. Man her tooth fairy must have gold wings. And she looks so funny with them both out. But I wont' tell her that, the kids at school do and we told her to wait til they lose theirs and she can tell them how funny they look.
I have decided I am not going back to PetsMart on Saturday's anymore. It is just not worth it. All I do is stand there..... Melissa has Jamie and Mark to do adoptions and walk the dogs and I guess I am there to pick my nose. So I will find something else to do. Last week I got out a chair cause I can't stand for 4 or 5 hours and as soon as I was out of it, Melissa came and put it away. Mark came and got out a chair and it stayed. So I'm done. I have other things I can do...
I am on a campaign to redo the house again or actually yet. Our bedroom REALLY needs to be done and I hate the 70s yellow (harvest gold?) in the kitchen. So we will have new counter tops and hopefully anew window. Not athat the one we have doesn't work but now that Mrs. Winters isn't there to tell me how ugly my detergent bottle looks in the window I might do something different. And I have bought a kiln and so need the room in the garage fixed for it. We have everything we need except some sheetrock and maybe an outlet. This weekend we need to find our way out to Sharon's to get the kiln. She lives way out in the outback past Purdy and what ever is over the little bridge there...... I have been there once and it took Florence and I about 2hrs and a couple of phone calls to find her. And I have no memory of how the heck we got there.
Joyce and Mike will not be going to the ocean with us. Marie will have her surgery on the 6th of April so Joyce will still be in Florida helping her out. DARN. Well I am glad that she is finally having the surgery and will get this over with at long last. And we will still go to the ocean, I am dying to get away for a couple of days. I fully plan on sleeping, reading and sitting in the sand, even if it rains.
