The remix

So. I've been gone. Now, I'm back.

What's happened?

Hmm....

Class reunion was okay. Didn't get to stay near long enough though. Someone, you know who you are sir, totally avoided talking to me. What the hell?! I wish we wouldn't have had to go to Marc's too.

Had a fantastic time with Lesley, Hannah, Catie, Garrett, LeAnn and Elly. Not long enough for that either!

Went to Marc's reunion. Could have skipped that. Missed out on seeing people he hadn't seen in awhile. Ended up calling Skip later that weekend and they got caught up.

Went back to Marion on Sunday after Old Settler's and saw Lesley. Had a fabulous awesome time. We hung out, cruised the antique store, got Garrett to come out and play and watched the sun set at the lake.

Lesley said she missed having crazy stories. This made me think, you do have stories, they are just different. Good grief woman, you've been to Europe! I'd trade that for any of mine.

School is okay. I've worked myself out of work again. I make projects for myself and then get them done in a quick amount of time then I have nothing to do again. The sub thing is okay, and it's all organized.

Decker is getting tested to see how autistic he really is. It's mild, but more disrupting at school than it has been. We should hear from the school sometime in the next few weeks to see what they can do for him.

Arina's arm is okay and she really isn't babying it too much.

Football is OVER! Thank goodness. Logan HATED it. Decker did okay. His coach said that he improved the most. Arina liked cheering. We hated the driving. I hated watching the kids (not mine) get hurt or go down on the field.

We're still working on our video game.

Right now, I can't think of anything else.

For Suzanne

Until I get things straightened up in the house, this is the quick version of what has happened in the last few weeks:

Went some places
Did some stuff
Bought some things
took some things back
Laughed
Cried
Went crazy
came back

Worked on this.

Working on this.

Running out of work at work since my big projects are done. Thinking about what to work on at home.

I'd ask Suzanne, if you are happy, but that won't be until I start blogging regularly again.

The arm

The arm is cast free as of last monday. Her arm still has a bump where it was broken, but the dr. assured me that it would straighten out. She's slowly getting back to normal.

To start...

I have SO MANY THINGS TO BLOG ABOUT. So I'm starting with the most trivial. I cleaned this last weekend. Well, more of a reorganization. It involved shoes getting corraled in a shoe rack and a Martha Stewart like folding of blankets. This lead to the discussion of our current comforter. I like it. It's white, sage, dove grey and a dusky navy color. I got a great deal on it with matching pillows and drapes.

Then we got into the discussion of new sheets. What to get, what color, what count. It finally came down to one simple statement from my love. "I want the bedroom to look grown up. It just needs to look hot and sexy. Like people get laid here." His words, not mine. Do you know that there is a fine line between sexy and brothel. Very fine. Now if he wanted a princess bed, or modern bed I could do that. But no. Good thing I like red.

So I've looked. All over. Looked so long my brain hurt. (Maybe that's why the migraines are bugging me again.) Looked online, ebay, amazon, bedbathandbeyond, linen's and things, luxury linens and the list goes on. I've probably looked at 600 different comforter sets, maybe a thousand. Finally, I said what the heck, and checked target and found it. It isn't supposed to be until about 2-6 weeks from now. So I waited.

And we still looked. Today (sunday the 14th) we were shopping at Dillards on the east side of town. You'd think the dillards would be the same on both sides of town. Nope. Different stuff. We found another red comforter we liked. "Hey Marc, this looks almost like the one at Target." "Yeah, I really like that. Let's get it."

It looks beautiful in the bedroom. And amazingly enough, it IS THE EXACT SAME AS THE ONE FROM TARGET!. I'm not sure how I feel about that part, but I really dig my room. Arina did too. We got new cream silk sheets. After I put the fitted sheet on the bed she hopped on it and rolled around laughing like a maniac. I'll have to put up pictures after it's all painted.
