Restless and Ready to Go!

Today is one of those days when being inside, sitting at your desk and staring at the computer is just about the last thing you want to be doing. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous and I am dying to go outside and let the sun soak into my skin, take off my shoes and walk through the fresh cut grass and just enjoy the smell of all the flowers that are in bloom! But I have another 1 1/2 of sitting at my desk before I can indulge in any of those things! Besides the fact that I am inside, I really do enjoy my new job, but I have never been so ready for a vacation!! We are leaving in exactly one week from today for the Ozarks in MO with my family. I keep picturing myself sitting by the pool with a good book and sipping a pina colada (one of my favorite vacation past times) and then staying up until all hours playing Rook and Settlers of Catan with all my aunt's uncle's and cousins. It's not so much the games that are fun, it's my family and all the personalities that I enjoy so much - it's a blast!

This last Saturday was the big garage sale day in town. Now I must confess that I have only been to a garage sale once in my life (I know, it's sad) I have never been a fan of them, mostly because I associate the words "garage sale" with things that have been sitting in people garages and basements for decades and you have no idea where it's been. I know that my perception is somewhat flawed because I have friends who actually find some real treasures and great bargains and I always say to myself that I need to try it sometime (there are some great things out there, you just have to hunt for them). So on Sat. we ventured out to look and see if we could find any furniture for the baby's room. I just wanted to find 1 thing, even if it took all day. Finally we found a GRACO baby swing and talked the seller into dropping the price from $20 to $13. I was satisfied so we ended our hunt and went to Dairy Queen. Over all it was a fun day and I think I just might try it again. . . maybe.
