Jean in Newcastle Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Today was humid here “for us”. I know that it probably wouldn’t count as humid in the south, but I am a humidity wimp. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 If it makes you feel better I forgot too. It was actually your post that reminded me. I usually take it on Sundays but I had that shift last week and being off schedule messed me up—especially without dh here to remind me. ETA: shoot em up booyah!

Junie Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Today's recap: Ds17 got immunizations he needs before heading off to college. The kids found a turtle in the backyard. Actually, he was at the bottom of our walk-out basement steps. I hope he didn't fall, but the reality is he probably did. Dh put him back in the woods. I organized some boxes and toys in the garage. I cleaned the (really gross) 1/2 bath that I never use. I cleaned the stove top, including the burner plates. We had waffles (with whipped cream and fresh raspberries!) for dinner. Dh replaced some boards on our deck. It was a busy day! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I can't catch up but I hope everyone is doing well! We got back from our trip Monday and it was so awesome. I could get used to living like rich people. They put us up in a 5 star hotel in the hotel's special club level floor. We've never stayed in a 5 star hotel before and didn't even know there were special club levels! I would never ever ever spend that much per night of my own money, but it was really nice to stay there with someone else's money. The nightly rate was higher than a month's rent on our first apartment and maybe even our first house! The other guests were probably wondering who let us up there because we were staring and eating free pastries like we were just let out of the workhouse. They had reservations for us at a nice restaurant and money to pay for it, a sunset cruise, and tickets to some museums. On the flight home we were bumped to first class which I've never been in before. It was a smaller plane so maybe not as fancy as a larger one would be, but it was still fun. Baby went with us and thoroughly enjoyed being a spoiled only child. He charmed everyone and was in such good moods. I know some people on the tours and in the restaurants, and even the plane were staring at us like, "Ugh, who brings a baby here!" but he was so good! One of the tour guides who gave us the biggest stink eye even stopped the tour halfway to point at him and say, "That is a very good baby!" By the end she was all cootchy coo with him. One baby is so easy and fun after being used to 5 kids, but we're glad to be home with everyone else now. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I didn't think we were supposed to get rain this week, but it rained this morning. Very humid out there. Got to get to work on revision. I painted last night and this morning. I hope to have both portraits substantially complete by Thursday to take to art class and work on the touch ups and shadowing with the professional. I had a little bit of an epiphany last night. I was critically seeing everything that was wrong with my pictures and thinking about how I should fix those issues, but at the same time I could look at the paintings with pride in how far I've progressed with painting multiple times a week. Plus, those are my kids, and I painted every brush stroke on their faces with loving care because they are my kids. Are the pictures perfect? No. Can I do better the next time I paint them? Yes. Are they good pieces I should be happy with? Yes. It's nice to know I can be critical and judge my work, but still see the merit in it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one dad that may have been a few years older but his wife was in her 20s. (Ew.) I have been feeling older lately, especially as my friends are all becoming grandmas. I am one of the oldest people I know with kids my age. But, fortunately due to good genetics, I don’t look it. The best complement i’ve Gotten recently is standing around last week at the Awana TNT Girls campfire night with a bunch of gals, all but one at least 10 years younger than me. They were talking about the horrors of turning 40 and I said, “well, just wait till you turn 50”, and every single woman except 1 (she knows my age) looked at me, and one of them said, “you’re 50?” in a completely shocked voice. It was great. But, I can’t take credit for it. I do take care of my skin and try to look nice, but my mom is turning 80 this fall and she’s gorgeous. Doesn’t look it at all. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's for a company I actually like--they make stuff I really think is useful--and one position is in a specific area of the company which I would LOVE TO GET INTO. Because it's technical-technical (I would do technical work for technical people... ) which would be a growth area for me. I want leftover macaroni and cheese.

prairiewindmomma Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Ok, ceiling fans are ordered. This house has HUGE windows, which is lovely, and a huge solar gain even with blinds + curtains. That's great in the winter but not so lovely as temperatures creep up. If the thermostat downstairs is set to 72, the upstairs is 78. We actually kept our thermostat at 78 when we lived in Texas, but we had ceiling fans + tile floors. We're going to put in ceiling fans everywhere upstairs and see if that helps. The alternative is installing more HVAC vents....we have enough airflow we can do it, but it's way more $$$$. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
