the purge has begun

 

I pulled my stash of charm packs off the shelf ... good grief ... I think they reproduced on their own.

 



okay .. sorted and selected a keep pile(s) and a sell pile ... listed the "sells" on ebay last night and most have sold by morning. 

 



 

and the hunting continues ... this is one cagey coon -- he's managed to get the treats out of the live trap every night and not get caught in said live trap ... elder #1 is quickly losing his patience. 

 

 

happy hump day ....

what a bunch eh?  ...

so instead of my normal oddball phone calls  --  today I get :
   "is Charlie there?"  ....
    me:  sorry, no Charlie here.
    response:  "Are you sure?"
    me:  I'm sure ....
    response:  "Could you look in the back room ?"
  
    by now the game has gone on too long.  where ever Charlie happens to be I hope he/she knows someone is looking for them in the wrong building.

    etsy shop has been constructed and I photographed, measured and uploaded some items.  time will tell.

pfffffttttttt

   as much as I'm starting to love Monday's -- I'm starting to hate holidays.  playing catch-up is way more work than necessary -- actually it's the timing of holidays ... they all need to be at the end of the month --

   board day today -- and ditch hearings -- ditch hearings are generally pretty dull -- today's wasn't.   in between was lunch and it was pretty darn tasty.

 

just after the food arrived -- some guy (sorry, no names involved) stopped at our table -- he's running for governor and thought he'd speak his pitch on us ..  some of us kept eating .. or tried to .. I did (as evidenced by the rolling cheeks) .. anyway the candidate's gophers taped the entire conversation on a cell phone (blurbs?) and another one was taking pictures .. and then they posted them on face book.   I knew it was going to show up somewhere.

 

so, back to the numbers .. for several more hours.

 

 

who knew

  that I would look forward to return to work on a Monday ... internet -- phones ... at my fingertips!


  So, I did learn a few things over the weekend.
     1.  it's okay to be unplugged/disconnected.
     2.  I have way to much fabric ... started a bit of purging and cleaning.
     3.  weeds will always be there.

  So my July project -- set up an etsy shop to attempt to reduce the fabric stash ... and maybe a crafty projected or two (or three or four).

  ....  so it goes.

Productivity

  I'm learning to master this beast (the goverment issued laptop) and learning to disconnect too.   I spent a few too many hours at the sewing machine yesterday.  Like 9 -- and managed to go to work and work on a couple projects and did way too much laundry.

  So here are the snapshots of my progress:

  Well sort of .. the picture of the other 4 is over on instagram:  dranttel ... link up to it.

Issues ... part II

   so my government issued laptop won't let me add words to my last post  ... and keeps telling me i have a virus.  fart.

   the pictures are the loot from the shopping extravaganza ... just remember I need quilt backs and it was all on sale at 50% off.

   the other snaps are from the culture end of our road trip (we only went 15 miles) ... Minneminmosha (?) Falls ... Nicollet County has two parks ... 7 Mile Creek (which I am presuming has a lot of water and bugs) and the Falls ... there was water rolling over the falls .. and it was open and breezy enough to keep the bugs at bay.   some nut job climbed down (over the fence) and placed a peace sign made out of rocks at the head of the falls. 

  i then took the ladies on a tour of Nicollet County gravel roads.   they must have liked it there wasn't a lot of chatter.  except when I drove around the various road closed barricades. 

  so it rolls

Happy Independence Day!

issues on Daisy Lane

   so, due to construction, there is no phones or internet on Daisy Lane -- it's quiet ... no telemarketers ... no riff raff .. but .... no internet except my cell phone and my county issued laptop -- which up until 10 minutes ago I never used for personal business ...  I'm using it now.
