Happy Birthday to me ..... tomorrow!

I don't know where the last week has gone. i've been trying to catch up on customer quilts and work my own quilts in there, too. and keeping the grass mowed and digging out the weeds in flower beds. it is freakin' hot out there, too; naps help. LOL

Tomorrow is my birthday.....they seem to come around much too quickly. i'll be leaving tomorrow morning to go to my sister's and then on to the Duck. we will check out a great book sale in Greenville, Illinois on Saturday. then i am spending 2 or 3 days at the duck. A dumpster is being delivered on Saturday.....it is time to get rid of those mountains of trash, plaster and slats. i have 3 guys coming to fill the dumpster on Sunday. i tried to tell them it was too hot to work that hard but they were all excited....so dumpster day is upon us.

It actually will be nice to get that garage all cleaned out. and i have a guy coming monday morning to give me an estimate on blowing on wet foam insulation. i believe it is rather expensive but hope it is within reach. that way will be a lot quicker and easier on me than my usual caulk and strips of insulation that itch. we'll see.

And it is time to tackle the basement and see what treasures might be down there to unearth. hubby has found a camping lantern that seems unscathed that he has already marked as his. LOL  not that i wanted it. but i did see a door down there i might be interested in. i hope the basement is dry so i can get down there and explore the possibilities. most of it is just trash....so i am bring large trash bags with me.

Today is errand day....going to the bank....getting Duck supplies and home supplies...stopping at the grocery store...and going out to eat for the birthday. i think we are doing Chinese food today. and perhaps a stop at Sonic for ice cream. i like their ice cream with the bits of butterfinger candy bars in there. so tasty and so not good for me. LOL

Then come home and pack up another truck load of barn wood to take to the Duck and stack in the garage for future walls. i already have packed my bag full of work/sweat clothes. LOL  why is it that you always need all this 'stuff' to go off anywhere for a few days. So, i'll be off for a few days having fun.....but i shall bring back pictures to share with you next week. probably be home about wednesday. .... unless i wear down before then.

Stay cool
