Mike had all the new pink fishing poles and much other assorted fishing stuff all ready and sitting in the living room late last night when I remembered the conflict...
He's been a little pouty today and still hasn't put away the fishing stuff in the living room. As you could have guessed I was a little glad the whole trip to the lake didn't work out....
- It's in the 60's with a very cool breeze.
- I've done about 8 loads of laundry and thought I was almost done when our little messy child produced what looks like everything she owns in her laundry basket...
- I cleaned up the scrapbook stuff on my dining table that has been there for a month
Let me tell you what else I did with a few minutes of my spare time...
Mike's aunt brought me a cute leather purse from Italy a while back. I have had it hanging in my closet admiring it and hating to use it. It's just darling and I didn't want to mess it up and it's a little on the small side so I just haven't used it, till today....
Today when I went to put my things in it I found the cutest necklace in the bottom of it. I told Mike about it and told him I didn't know if maybe she left it in there by accident when she gave it to me...
So, I called the sweet aunt to tell her again how much I love the bag and about the great necklace and make sure it was mine.
First, she reminded me that it was Christmas before last that she gave it to me...( I swear it hasn't been that long)
Second, she reminded me that she gave me the cute necklace because it coordinated with the bag...
Hmmm, that sounds familiar... now I remember... it's like Christmas all over again!
I explained to her about my neurological disease that seems to cause me to completely forget things...
I told her it's really not too bad living this way...
I'm just as excited about my necklace and bag from Italy today as the day she gave it to me!
Now I'm hating to take the tag in Italian off my wonderful necklace and I'm going purse shopping tomorrow so I don't mess up my cute bag....
I managed to cook dinner and get a few things ready to eat this week...
I made a batch of rice for fried rice tonight and used part of the rice to make this to take for my lunch for a couple of days... It was easy easy and very yummy!
