Friday August 7

Good Morning!
I've already been out and taken my son's girlfriend to court...home and got myself all ready for the day....and all of today's designated housework is complete! That means that pretty much the rest of the day is mine to accomplish whatever else I see fit.

I just posted on gather My Daughter and Her Boyfriend Got Their Laptops Stolen! The full story is there, but I guess it was pretty wild.
Yesterday I got one of the book review lenses done on squidoo too. Forever By Judy Blume Book Review

I didn't have to take anyone anywhere again yesterday so it was a productive day. We got all of Jasmine's stuff that is moved over here so far up into the bedroom upstairs. I did all of my online stuff. I fixed breakfast for supper which was really good.

Today I have to take Jasmine for shots this afternoon and we will eat out for supper tonight. I wonder where we will go tonight? It's supposed to get up to 101 today and tomorrow so looks like we should be able to get in swimming both days. I sure hope so. It's a good time spent in the pool....plus I do exercises in there.

Off I go for the rest of the day. Here's hoping your weekend starts off great.

Saturday August 1

Good Morning!
It's been kind of a whirlwind week with the company here all week. They leave tomorrow afternoon.
I've thought about my blog then got busy with other things.

It's been harder to keep up with the housework with the extra 2 nephews here plus keeping my grandson for the week as well.
We've also been busy entertaining them...suppers...going to the Cosmosphere and the nature center.
We haven't been able to swim much this week due to rains and cooler weather. Sure is strange to only see highs in the 80's in July.
I've also had extra running over the usual with extra dr. appts this week. I'm tired!!

I was able to cash out a couple of days ago for another $25 paypal on gather. I've been able to share the rest of the Bible school videos on gather and now working on getting in all the videos I took at the Bible camp. I have lots of photos to share both individually and in photo essays. I should get on that.
I have been doing what I can each day at clixsense so will have a check from there this month.
I need to get all my paperwork in order for July to see just what I earned. It was a fairly good month though.

I stopped on my quilt for now since I'm not sure how exactly to pin it and stuff. I figure I am better off to wait until the 11th when we will have sewing club at church again and let those lady's show me how it's done. I should be working on cutting out squares for my next one but with such a busy week I've just not found the extra time.

I better stop boring you now, just wanted to get something written so you know what is up with me.

Have a good weekend,
Marsha

Monday July 27

Good Afternoon. I don't know now noon crept up on my so fast, but it sure did.

I've been working on my quilt...in fact, I updated My First Quilt lens on squidoo with an update and another photo. I'm anxious to get it done and start on my 2nd one.

My grandson will be over and most likely spend the whole rest of the week here. We have their nephews in town for the week. In fact, short and sweet blog post today as they are wanting to swim and need adult supervision outside.

Have a great Monday,
Marsha

Thursday July 23

Good Morning!
Whew! I've been busy this morning....mostly around the house getting little things done. I suppose I will have to pick my son's girlfriend up for work and pick him up when he's off. The only other thing I know of today away from home is to take my mom to her dr. appt.

I met my goal yesterday! I made it through all of my cards in my file box!!! I was fortunate that Steve was able to do most of the running yesterday since he wanted his Durango worked on.
It was also nice that my daughter brought all the grandkids over to swim. The water was still cold after the chilly rainy weather, but it was still fun.

I did some work last night on my quilt. I can't wait until I have the whole top together. I also worked on the dish scrubbies order. I am working on them while on here this morning too.

Yesterday I updated my Rich Kid Smart Kid squidoo lens. I put in another video on gather from Bible school. Today I posted my last Investing for the Future post on gather. I've posted the entire year now. I guess now I can get some of these other things in that are saved on my computer since I don't have those to type in daily now.

I joined a couple of fun sites yesterday...winspinwin and slots4cash. Just little time wasters that only take a few minutes each day to do both.

Saturday July 18

Good Morning!
Yesterday I started out the morning leaving to take my son to court. I then got the title to my car finally. I wasn't home long when my mom called wanting to go back to the dr. Again, not home long before it was time to take my son to an appt. then to work. By that time I realized I hadn't written my blog but it was later in the afternoon.

I got an order for 10 more dish scrubbies yesterday. This is in addition to the 10 I need to get done for my friend here in town. I will need to make a trip to Wal-Mart for materials. The first order has been done for days but so far there is still no invoice in my craft mall account so that I know where to send it to. I'm feeling bad...I like to be prompt with sending out orders.
Speaking of that...I also got an order on blujay yesterday too. It's for something that's in a box I haven't gotten moved over here yet. That means that while I am out today a trip to my mom's and bring more things is also in order.

Gathers pages are loading so slow since the upgrade Thursday evening. I would think it's the wireless connection except that all other pages are loading fine. I did get my 2 posts done yesterday as well as put in another video from our Bible school. I did a lot of commenting despite the slow loading pages.

I updated 2 lens on squidoo yesterday.. My Coupon/Refund Story and Kansas--Our First Lapbook.

We've not been able to swim since Tuesday because of the rains. I'm hoping it stays clear today so we can get in. I started doing exercises in the water and I think they were doing me some good.

Guess I better grab my shower and get my own running done before someone calls for me to take them places. I also want to get the sewing machine out and work a little on my quilt.

Have yourself one great Saturday!
Marsha

Monday June 22

Good Morning!
I intended to do a blog post yesterday, but once again it was bedtime when I realized I hadn't.

We had a large celebration and carry in dinner at church yesterday to celebrate our retired pastor's 50th year of being ordained. It was really nice. He was brought to tears many times. The food was great. As a congregation each family made a quilt square for him and 2 of the women at church put the quilt together.

After church we all headed to Steve's and spent the day in and around the swimming pool. We got home around supper time.

It's so humid hot! It's really hard to handle. We have storms that come through, then the sun comes out...this has been going on for a couple of weeks. It's horrid!

I've been posting at least 4 things a day on gather and my points are about the same as they have been lately. I have to get busy on doing 2 or 3 updates on squidoo lenses each day. I did a couple on Saturday.

I have to run now and take my son to an appointment and then take him to work. It's Bible school week with our church, so evenings are full each day from 5:45 to 8:45. Jasmine is too old now to attend Bible school so she is going to help with games. I am with the 4th and 5th grade group.

Have a great day and be sure to stay cool if you can!

Tuesday August 19

It's a beautiful day! A little busy today with Heather having her math tutoring and then this evening Steve and I go to the bowling meeting. Next Tuesday we start bowling again and I am excited to get back to it. An evening out really does me good.

I didn't come close to clearing out my gmail yesterday. It seems that the email comes in just as fast as I can delete it. I still have almost 6,000 emails in my inbox this morning. I will work on what I can of it today.

I'm really excited! Gather just started a point promotion. We receive 10 points for each summer themed photo that we post. We are allowed to repost any photos already in! I will be busy busy....amazon gift cards here I come!
This morning I put in the 15 photos that I took at our church swimming party and picnic. If you would like to take a look, you can start at the first picture then click next to move on to the next one.

Have a great day and I will chat with you again tomorrow.

Monday August 18

Here we are, another Monday. It should be a great one! The only thing that I am aware of having to do today is to take my mom to her usual Monday dr. appt. I am working on getting through the over 7,000 email in my gmail right now and feel like I am moving right along with that.

The church swimming party and picnic was loads of fun last night. Steve paid my $1 to get in to the pool, so despite the cold water, I did get in. The weather cooperated nicely with us. It wasn't until we were all almost done eating that these storm clouds rolled in and it got windy and chilly. We made it through the clean up before any rain fell. It was really nice to get out and about and have some fun with family and friends.

Today's article I will share on gather is my weekly Freebies post. Freebies--Week of August 10
For some reason my cut and paste isn't working so I sure hope I typed that in right!

I think that is it for today. Wish me luck on my goal of clearing out and catching up on my gmail!
