Daily Ooo's: Tuesday, July 15

[faerywings]

*sigh* I am not liking at all how quickly this summer is flying by. Too fast! I know I still have 6 weeks left of it but its never enough!
:hurt:

Yesterday turned out to be a Medical Monday rather than a Me Me Monday. heh!!! Bloodwork, dressing change, IV (twice), picked up referral to 2nd opinion onc., and finally made an appt for Cait to have a physical and am filling out paperwork for both of those appts.
But, I did get to scrap 2 pages and start prepping my August Challenge. I was pretty passionate about this one, but I made it so thought provoking that I don't know what I am going to scrap.

I'll have to keep that one percolating in my brain for a bit.

Today is work and it is not looking good for the lake this afternoon. I am seeing rain all week. Yuck. but that gives me either time for housework or scrapping. What should I choose?

Tip on Tuesday:
I am not sure that I have one, but if I think of something, I'll let you all know

Hi nancy!!!! Your trip sound fabulous so far!! You are going to have amazing pictures and LO's. Are you planning on another vacation book too? So happy that you got to see so many new birds. Do you keep a journal or record of them?
Enjoy the time with your aunt and safe travels!

Phyllis- preggers! Too funny!!! and OMG- the tile is gorgeous!!!!!I love the colors! You did great picking it out. Enjoy the peace and quiet too, I always hate it when we had a lot of construction going on too.

Sara! you and your hubby are too funny! You get that chee-burger in your head and it won't let go
Do you follow Lisa and Helen's FB page, https://www.facebook.com/greatreadsandtealeaves
Oh look at that, I had to search FB for it b/c I couldn't remember the name, but I see that you have liked the page. I am looking fwd to seeing what the 2 of them think. I know they have both been jonesing for the release of the last Witches book.
Good for you getting the house cleaned up and Ben's room too. I swear, I totally believe in the saying about messy houses, messy minds. I hate the clutter in mine but I am getting "better" at ignoring it, but when when it gets overwhelming it all goes :boom: at once.
That sound slike a wonderful camp for Ben. I know both of my kids would like it. Cait's BF had to quit his job at a local kennel and put Scott's name fwd to take his place. Scott would love that one and is hoping that he will get a call-back today. Cait too- she has been going into the local pet store every other week hoping to get a job there. I hope that you get a chance to see the Cotons too!

Hi Sabine! Sorry that you were so sick, but I am glad that you are feeling better now.
Say hi to the Sun for me, we haven't seen it in a couple of days.

Jean- I am going to have keep my eyes and ear aware to see if I can see the birds as they call. There is another one that Gary says calls for Eric!!

Hope that everyone has a great day!

Morning glories!

Chris - When don't you have a Medical Monday?? LOL I hope you get to scrap. Sorry for the rain, but maybe a forced inside day is what you need!

Ben loved camp yesterday. I think this will be his favorite camp by far! They got to meet so many dogs, he was in heaven. They have a book buddy too. They read stories to this dog. Ben picked a little Chihuahua/corgie? mix named Benji. I plan on getting Ben a disposal camera he can use since I'm not about to let him take his 3DS to camp just to take pictures.

Has anyone used Airbnb? We are looking at staying in California for a month next summer near DH's home office. I priced short term furnished apartments and an extended stay hotel. The hotel was by far cheaper. But the cheapest are sublets like you find on Airbnb. Some seem weird, some not so weird. Here are two that are close to DH's work that look nice and the owners don't look weird. What do you guys think?

Any advice you travelers you?

Oh and Chris - i don't think Lisa liked the newest book. I think I saw that she gave it like two stars or something.

Chris, hope the bird calls don't make you crazy trying to figure them out. Just what you need, eh?

Sara, I don't even know what Airbnb is, so no help here.

A beauty of a day here though DH just said it's too cold for shorts & went to change. LOL

Hope it is a good/better day for everyone.

Hello my "O" family I miss you all so much! HOT, HOT, HOT here again today and we are just planning on a bit of grocery shopping and then some pool time on the deck with Mason, it is hard to stay outside too long with the temps so very hot.

Chris - I hear ya on the summer going by too quickly, I can't believe how it is passing so fast!

Phylis - You will be proud of me, I called the police on my noisy neighbours today, and they went instantly to house and now all is quiet, but DD heard them say that they are going to start working in their backyard even earlier tomorrow, I am sure just to piss me off!!! They have been doing some yard work for the past 4 days, that in itself does not bother me, but the constant yelling and screaming at each other and the horribly loud music, just put me over the top today!! I am going to call the municipal office every time they make noise now, and hopefully they will start getting fined big time!!


Sara - It does sound like that camp for Ben is a great one! Hope he continues to enjoy himself!!

Gotta run little guy is getting into things he should not be!! LOL :wave:
