Default A post about nothing

Ever have one of those days that just doesn't go right from the moment you get out of bed in the morning.... yep - I'm sure you have... we ALLLLL do.

I should have known, getting up and stepping in cat puke, I should have just wiped my foot and gone right back to bed... but nooooo.

I had planned to get in the shop today and work on a long overdue project but when I brought the pattern in the shop and Sue, already hard at work, agreed with a last minute change to the design ... I was back at the drafting board.

Drawing brought about thinking, and well ... that's not always good for me. LOL.

The kids will be back at school next week, and I can't help but wonder where the summer went. I didn't accomplish much in the shop when I look at the pile of sketches on the table. Granted the weather here was crappy, and I had to spend a couple weeks away with my son, so there was no vacation or time to bring the kayaks out this year...The kids just walked in the and told me to go watch their video on You Tube ... it's obvious THEY had WAY too much time on their hands this summer. WARNING - their dance has nothing to do with scrolling.....

I sold a snow machine today, and couldn't help but think I'd regret it. The leaves on our trees are turning to their fall colours and the nights are getting down pretty cool. I guess if it snows soon, (all due to selling the snow machine no doubt,) I'll be in the mood for those holiday projects some of you here have already started.


LOL, see I told you it was a post about nothing, but ya read it anyhow.
Thanks for the break in the day.

Take care
Toni

G'day Toni,
You've discovered my secret to getting to the 2000 postmark, Damn
Boy Oh Boy, you blokes don't have much warmth in your part of world. it only seems like yesterday that you were posting pics of snow. Brrrrrrrrrr

We have 2 dogs and are currently looking after a neighbours while he is away working so there are three Land mine laying machines running around in the back yard.

Gotta get the spade out 1st thing in the mornings or, well you can guess, especially with a 3 year old tearing around.

Wow, I sure can understand the drama. Sorta like getting up early to arrive at work a few minutes early in order to get a jump start on the day, only to have your boss say " I'm so glad you're early. I could use some help." Well that turned into a days project. What happened to the "jump start" I was going to get on my own work? I guess it will be waiting for me tommorrow!

If only we all had the energy that your DDR kids have! Dont tell me, they did that while you were shopping at the Big box, and they got tired of waiting on you!

Cute, funny, How can you have a bad day when you are blessed with kids like that!
Been there with the cats, yuk.
I hope you plan to replace that snow blower with a bigger and better one.

Thanks for the reply guys! LOL

Yes indeed I wish I had half the energy the girls had in the video, and it is kind of obvious they liked the big box stores isn't it? I hadn't thought of it till you mentioned it.

As for being in that video, nope .... ah ...not our style of dancing. Giggle. Somedays when they are really lucky Sue and I will play "rock band" with them, but that isn't very often. The drums I can manage, the guitar I always fail, and our pet raven, and the dog think I need back ground singers so you can't hear me anyhow.

Take care
Toni
