Sunday and a SCORE!

After kicking ass on getting the garage sale set up (still have to mark the items), while my wonderful hubby and son cleaned the bathrooms and shampooed the carpet in the familyroom and upstairs hallway, I thought Sunday would be the day to sleep in and relax.....well, tell that to my cat Tucker who thought I should not sleep and woke me up at 6:30am and I couldn't get back to sleep, so instead I got up -

• Read the newspaper


• Went to the gym for a vigorous 40 minute cardio session


• Got the grocery shopping done


• FINALLY finished the rest of my gardening (planted a few more perennials, put the rest of the mulch down, weeded another bed and planted a few more wave petunias)
  

ALL before 11:00am this morning

Well, guess what, after my shower, I crashed for about 2 hours and it felt wonderful, probably better than had I slept in this morning for that 2 hours. Now I'm raring to go again and that's good, because I did want to do some more scrapbooking sometime today. I had a great time at the crop I attended Friday night. It was good to see .Cheri, Rhonda, Jean and Becky. I got 4 pages almost completed. Just have to put the finishing touches on them.

Speaking of gardening, scored BIG time last Thursday morning while on a routine walk through the East Village that I do with a couple of co-workers. The City of Des Moines was going through the Village and digging up all of the tulips in the tulip beds, we walked by the crew and truck and I saw a gazillion dug up tulip bulbs in the back of the truck and I asked what they were going to do with them and the crew said "Why?, do you want some of them?"...."YES" I said and this is how I came to haul back to our office about 40 pounds of tulip bulbs. All said after we broke off the foilage, one of my co-workers and I each came home with about 50 bulbs a piece......SWEET!

I'll be so glad to get this garage sale over with that the garage back in shape. I never did get to share pictures of our organized garage but I will. After the sale, I *think* our projects are over for awhile and we can start having fun on the weekends rather than projects.....I'm ready for the Aquatic center, I wanna play some minature golf, I wanna go to the drive in movies here, we have a couple of concerts to look forward to and instead of the Twin Cities in late June we're thinking about going to Chicago to see THIS! in late July. It's there through September and we all think it would be fun to go see. I'm working on a reasonable hotel room for this visit...yea, right...in downtown Chicago....anybody got any suggestions?

Have a nice Memorial Day!
