7-9:00AM

Moving slowly this morning.
Gonna be another hot one like yesterday.
Got dishes going in the dishwasher.
Getting ready to wipe down kitchen
and haul the trash out.

This evening Kendra & Dewaine are coming
out. Supposed to get the cement in
around the posts, YEAHHHHH!

Me and Tony was experimenting yesterday
with seeing how hard it would be
to remove fence board slats from the
old fence. Not going to be easy but will
try my hardest to remove them before buying new
slats.

My idea I had shown yesterday
in the pictures should work.
Tony can't envision my plans so I guess
I need to play job foreman with this
project to show them how to do it.
I have studied enough fences in the
neighborhood and online for it to work.

We wasn't gonna start removing the old
fence til most of the new fence was
in place. I might go out and see if
I can start removing the slats from
them so I can get a head start.

Hey, if I can figure out how to put a huge
shed together with a million parts
and directions that seemed like they
were in another language, then this
should be a piece of cake!

Well the neighbor kid just came over.
This seems to be a daily thing
between 9:30 to 10:00AM.
He makes my eyes twitch!!
Because he uses the words DUDE
and OH MY GOD so much I could scream.
I don't allow the kids to use
God's name in vain so this irritates
the crap outta me.

10:30AM

I took down the smallest fence panel
at the end of the old fence and
removed the slats.

Just finished cleaning the bathroom.
Ahhhh! You can only imagine with
a house full of boys!

Tonight for supper I think we
are gonna do KFC. Mom's going
to get the buy 1 get 1 free 8 pc. buckets
of chicken and we'll each go in
half. I need to think of a few homemade
sides to go with it. Maybe some macaroni
and cheese and some stuffing?

Whew I must be in cleaning mode.
Just finished up putting things
away in the kitchen and wiping
down all surfaces. Then worked
on the living and dining room
tidying them up. Went through
a bunch of paperwork I had sitting
on the table. Cleaned out all
the old newspapers. Got a stack
of nothing but coupon inserts
I need to go through and put into
my coupon book.

I don't want to spend my weekend
cleaning so that's why I am trying
to get it done now.

2:50PM

Finished doing more dishes by hand
from lunch and whatever else there
was leftover from earlier.

Made about 4 trips down to the
basement with things like
stereo stuff and canning
supplies. Got tired of them
sitting in the middle
of the floor and kicking them
with my toes.

Well I got about 5 more minutes
before rinsing out hair coloring.
Have been wanting to do this since
this past weekend and am finally
getting around to it.

I've been doing shades darker than
I usually do. I had been using
light to ultra light blond and
have started using light golden
brown these last two times.

Gonna wash that gray right outta
my hair! Sucks getting old!

7:30-8:30PM

Went to Kroger to get some pop
and pudding. Tomorrow I want
to make some fruit salad. Sounds
good on a hot day! You could
also fold in a tub of Cool Whip.

When getting out of the truck
getting ready to go into Kroger
we saw Ben Gelber in the parking
lot at UV Shopping Center.


Stopped by McDonalds and got
the kids each a free Wild Berry
Smoothie and me a free
Caramel Frape.
