Makin Some Coin

I’m doing a bunch of laundry today because I’m taking some things to the consignment store. I’ve got a bunch of maternity clothes that I didn’t even wear when I was prego. Most of the shirts were too short. Short shirts weren’t even attractive in the 80′s. Seriously! I like taking things that are still in good condition to the consignment store. Its like adding money to my wardrobe budget. Plus it gets stuff out of my closet, and I really don’t love clutter. Its a pain in the but to re-wash things before I take them, but It’ll be worth it. I might even get my butt in gear and take the mountain of pop can bags to the recycle place today. Gotta love making some coin on stuff you don’t want.

My grampa collects cans when he walks his dog on the side of the highway. He takes them in and calls it his allowance. My guess is that it all ends up at Tim Hortons anyways. haha. One time a tree planter looking hitch hiker stopped and gave my grampa like a $1.50. I guess he thought “poor old man is hard up for cash if he’s collecting cans.” Sooo funny. Another time he found an entire case of beer next to a bush. I think some teenager was pretty upset because his secret stash was gone. haha.

Emily told us the weirdest story at dinner time yesterday. I’m going to try and remember it.

“There was this man at the school today. He was giganormous! He blocked the door, so no one could get in the school and we had to go home. Then we went back today and he was still in the way because he was really really big. So we pushed him over and he broke into glass. Then we had to clean him all up into the garbage. “

I’m pretty sure the hemp hearts I put in her oatmeal don’t have the brain altering chemicals in her, but I seriously have no idea where this came from. It was really funny because she was so serious about her story. She kept mentioning over and over how huge the guys was. We were having a hard time not laughing in her face. Man my daughter is one weird ducky!

ooo the sun is coming out. YAY! I think I’m going to go check the mail for my parcels…I can’t hardly wait!

My Poor Quad

This is me painting in the office. Acctually this is my taking a break because I pulled my quad hopping up and down on the ladder. I finnished cutting in on all the walls and the ceiling so I’m letting Morgan roll. That’s our deal. I cut he rolls. It works. He hates cutting and has no patience and I dont care either way. Our office is begining to look fab. I wish we’d taken better before pics. I have a few general pics taken in the office before hand so I’ll see if I can find any of those for when it is all done. I dont think I’ll even want to move the desks and stuff back in. It’ll look way to pretty without all my junk shoved in there.

This morning on our way to work we stopped at Timmys as we often do. I wanted to try one of those new strawberry donuts. So When Morgan asked what I wanted I said “a bagel and one of the new pretty strawberry fluffy-flower donuts”. Unfortunately Morgan is a smart cookie and he new I was just trying to see if he’d order using the words “fluffy-flower”. I think it would have been ver macho of him to order a fluffy flower donut! On the Courtenay Donut rating scale from 1 to 10 (1 being a donut dipped in marzapan dropped in a pile of hair and burnt with flaming diapers to 10 being a gooey milk chocolate covered honey dipped Boston Creme cooked to perfection, still warm) The Fluffy Flower(strawberry blossom…still a girly name) make about a 6. Its a bit sweet, but it tastes better than it looks. Re orderable? Probably. It still has nothing on smile cookies!! oo I wonder when Smile cookies come out…

I’m torn today because I realized that I couldnt go to both a funeral and a grad tomorrow. There isnt enough time between them to go to both. I’d have to leave in the middle of the funeral to go to williams lake to the grad. Its hard because we know we need to be in williams Lake, but we’d really like to pay our respects to the Family. Especially because I’ve adopted Rudi Guiliani’s “Weddings are optional, Funerals are mandatory”. I’m glad my parents will be able to go to the funeral tomorrow. Maybe I can send a card with them or something.

ooo Morgan just yelled “Its done!” from the office. Oh happy day! Now theres only flooring and trim left to do!  Yahoo! Back to work I gooooooo
