Friday

Way back at the beginning of the week I had this super long post with links and everything. I messed up and ended up deleting it! I was so frustrated that I decided not to post that day, and then my week has gotten away from me!

Belated happy birthday to Donna. Did you do something special? I saw you were reading Jill Shalvis. She's going to be the phone in guest to book club on Wednesday.

Mary, have you been to a movie yet? Some of my friends saw Hope Springs. I would like to see it as well. I wonder who I can convince to go?

I see several of us ar DWTS fans. Have they announced who the star is that America voted for? Any Big Brother fans? I have been semi watching. I am hopelessly addicted to Dance Moms, and then the other day I saw an episode of a show called The Week The Women Went. The episode I saw was the women leaving, and I need to see if it's on demand to see if there are any more. It's an experiment in a small town in S.C. I think.

Cady, it's really funny, because I sent that link for the cart, and then ended up with something totally different. I had one free standing pantry that I had gotten from Big Lots years ago, but now I have 4 new free standing pantries that I got from Lowes.  http://www.lowes.com/pd_375265-444-ESM2470CG_0__?productId=3592070&Ntt=estate+by+rsi+cabinets( got 2 of these)  http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=375264-444-ESM1570CG&langId=-1&storeId=10151&productId=3592068&catalogId=10051&cmRelshp=req&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1I (got one of these...this is the one I'm using as the broom closet)  http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=375263-444-ESBD24CG&langId=-1&storeId=10151&productId=3592066&catalogId=10051&cmRelshp=rel&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1have (got one of these)  There is almost 7 feet of them! One is going to be a broom closet, one is already full of all the snack type of stuff, extra drinks, chips, protein bars, cookies, and jello. One is a short one, and the mini fridge that keeps our drinks cold is on top of it. That one we're still working on, but I think it's going to be the one that holds the food storage items. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the last one. I really like them because I can buy drawers to fit,and have bought 6. One is going to be the kitchen junk drawer, so that the drawers in the real kitchen can be put to better use. One is going to hold the food storage lids, and I'm not sure what the others will do! I can return what I don't want, but since it took two stores to find more than 1 I bought them all.

Donna, even if you're repeating pictures I don't think we're going to complain. They're great pictures, and I love seeing them! I have to agree that I don't like Elizabeth Lowell the way I once did. I think some of the authors who started as romance and went to romantic suspense early are trying for more thriller aspect now, and I don't like them as much as those who are strictly thriller. I haven't watched Jeopardy in forever, but like you I am amazed at what I get right. The most recent show I watched was several months back, and probably on GSN! Anyway, there was a bowling category. I was so mad I got one wrong! I think it was the highest money one, but still! I should have known that!

Mary, I can't believe that Lauren is going to Kindergarten! Is she excited? I miss teaching Kindergarten! Does she have to wear a uniform? I wonder how long it will take before you're volunteering at her school.

Margie, I was doing some dejunking of my books, and I found last year's Andrea Kane so I'm going to have to get it read, but finding time! I haven't read much by her, but what I have read I've enjoyed. I wonder if it's on audio. Hmmm..something to hunt for! I'm looking forward to the new one...well adding it to the stack at least! I haven't done that yet.

Donna, the last picture could looks like it could be something, but I can't quite get the word to come to mind. I love looking at clouds and imagining what they could be!

Donna, I am glad to hear your daughter thinks she's better. I agree potentially knowing what could be wrong is sometimes half the issue! Did they give her a diagnosis. How did the weinie roast go?

I listened to the 11th Hour by James Patterson. It was a really quick listen. I'm now listening to Sworn to Silence by Linda Castillo. It's the first in her series, and since she was in town recently I decided maybe it's time to give her a whirl!

I'm going to call it a day for the time being. I'll try to be better about coming to play, but don't hold me to it!

Who has weekend plans? I've got to put my kitchen back together. Between the new floor and new cabinets last week it's still a mess! The hall bathroom also needs putting back together from the floor. I didn't get that one done because the weekend got past me, and with Elijah at the house during the week the week goes past me too!
