Village Trip

Just got back from an awesome village visit with Vicki.  Erin, Angie, Mark and I took a trip out to Akula (sp?) to visit our friend.  We were supposed to go kayaking and camping... but the weather was kind of yucky and we found other fun things to do.  We spent most of our time singing, dancing, talking, and eating.  It was the perfect Labor Day vacation!

Plus, Vicki's house is decorated so awesomely.  When you walk into it, you can tell she lives there.  When I got home on Monday night, I immediately started cleaning my house and thinking of things to change or buy.  I walked to the AC store to buy some groceries and took a look around the "hardware" area for hooks, wall hangings, and other fun house stuff.  But, of course they didn't have anything.  I'll have to wait for the weather to clear up to walk to Swanson's.

So, thank you Vicki for giving me inspiration for my house! :)

I also had grand plans today to walk to the post office, but the hurricane force winds hindered me from walking.  I wanted to return a shirt from Eddie B., and mail my brother's birthday card.  He'll be 13 on Sept. 9th!  He'll finally be a teenager!  Hopefully, when I go home for Christmas, he'll still want to give me hugs and kisses.

And, today was the start of my grand jury.  I was picked to be on the jury, and not an alternate.  Also, I shall be the foreman-forewoman.  Nobody was volunteering so we were sitting around waiting... and I just thought, well, if I volunteer then we could go to lunch a little earlier.  So, I'm on my lunch break now, doing a quick blog.  When there's time, I'll post some of the pics from our weekend.
