Hello and welcome to a topsy-turvey day!

#crazy-2
At least it's all cattywampus for me, hope it isn't for you. This time yesterday, I assumed that today was going to be picking up my grocery order and then puttering about here. I am behind on scrapping and commenting so I was going to do all of that this morning and then enjoy the warmer temps outside. But nope- all cattywampus. [Sidenote, I had never heard that word before until my friends said it a couple of years ago and now it is one of my favorite words :cloud9-2: I rarely get to use it in casual conversation so I jump at every chance I have]

This is what my day(s) look like now.
Gary is going to pick up the groceries because I am cleaning for my friend today instead of tomorrow. I should be home by noon, shower, eat lunch, and pack some clothes. And where are ya going, Faery? My mom is meeting me here and we are going to her PA house together until Friday. Her plans got switched around and I didn't want her to go up and do housework on her own. I switched my day for cleaning and started to pack yesterday. Unfortunately, I have to repack everything because it turns out that the weather is going to be cold for the next 2 days. I packed clothes for the upper 70s, not the low 60s. Oh well! My mom is meeting me here at 2 and then I'll drive her car to PA. It'll be nice to get a change of scenery.

Scott's party went well- he was surprised! My niece got here early since she works relatively close and I got to catch up. She is home for the summer (she is in Vet School in OK) and she's just so fun. She is *such* a Campbell. The four Campbell kids are all unique but Campbell through and through. My SIL and I laugh at how we-- the non-Campbells-- produced them all. hahahaha!!! Scott and Sam were stuck in traffic and were running late so everyone was hanging out downstairs for a while. Juliet (niece) was chatting with Lauren (school friend/hiking buddy of Scott's) and someone asked if they had ever met before. The rest of us kind of gulped and said, "Yeaaaaahhhh... That night." "That night" was actually 2 am, Dec 26 when they both raced over here to sit with Scott after LL broke up with him. As soon as we said that, they were like -oooohhh, right.... hehehe!

I'd better shut up and get going if I want to leave a little early.
Have a fantastic day. Not sure if I will be able to pop in while I'm in PA, my eyes don't do well with the phone screen. Behave and not like the last time. :batfight:::pillowfight:

Quick personals:

@vickyday So glad that the furniture/room rearranging made such a nice difference! Sounds like you are getting everything into place for the family gathering ♥
Hope all of the stiffness is gone today.

@taxed4ever Darn mosquitos! I dab apple cider vinegar on the bites when they get bad.
Good to hear that the central vac has good suction, I cleaned a house a while ago that had it and it was horrible.
I never heard of Coupert, I am going to check that out!! TFS!

@Nonni F Every time I see a headline about the NYC rats and the Mayor having a Rat Czar, I think that it would be the perfect job for Caitlyn (Her nickname is The Rat Queen) then I realize that she would try to rescue and domesticate them all LOL!

@bcgal00 I am sending good health and good weather to the baby birds. Looking fwd to seeing pics!

@Cherylndesigns Adrienne keeps you busy, for sure. Your shopping trip sounds fun and successful, for you and the dogs.
Hope you had a nice time getting your nails done.
I have loads of mint and I should put my lemon verbena out on the patio soon. None of my marigold seeds look like they germinated. Tell your herb babies I am sending them hugs :D

Good Morning!
Going through recipes for the family gathering while listening to an audiobook today.
Mark wants to do lunch again today.....3rd day in a row! So I will be leaving here in a few minutes.
Plans for the day include moving some of the leftovers from the rearrange to storage and dusting and sweeping the rest of the house.
Tomorrow will be laundry so it is done before the weekend.
Friday will be cooking and cleaning the bathroom.
My sister will arrive from FL late Thursday/early Friday so I will have her help in getting the food prepped.
The weekend always goes faster than I want it to!
Have a great day!

Morning ladies... it is another sunny but somewhat cooler morning! I might have to turn up the heat! What a change from last week, when it was so very warm and all the doors and windows were wide open in the morning to cool the house down. SIL Linda and I got out on the Lake early in the morning yesterday, it was the perfect time to be out there! So calm and quiet, we watched the eagles, fishing and then landing in the trees and the Olympic rowing team was out for their daily workout too. They are mostly in the middle of the Lake and we stick pretty close to the shoreline, but fun to watch them! They sure can move!! Over the weekend my DH built a Kayak holder for us to keep in SIL Linda's garage, its made out of ABS pipe with a board on the bottom that has locking wheels, it works great and holds our kayaks perfectly with storage on the bottom for our carts. Here is a photo, my DH is a pretty handy guy!
unnamed-2.jpg Now it will be easy for us to keep our kayaks nice and clean and dry and not out in the weather and Linda has plenty of space in her garage. With it being on wheels she can move it around if she wants access all the shelves she has for storage. We both just love what he has made for us! :lovey3: I am not hiking today, the hike is very far away and it is a very tough one too. I still have my moments when I feel I don't have any energy, so I think I will sit this one out and perhaps go for a swim at the pool instead. I will have to check what is happening at the pool and how busy it will be before I go. I have a layout to get done today also. Tomorrow I will be getting a visit from my Cousin Blair, he lives in Port Alberni and whenever he ventures out on his motorcycle to Victoria, he always stops in for a visit. So nice to catch up with him! I will be asking my sister Wendy if she wants to join us. Then on Friday I will finally be able to drop off the turtle painting to he lady who commissioned it, she has been on holidays for the past couple of weeks.

@faerywings - Isn't it crazy that some days just get all mixed around and nothing turns out the way you thought it should! I am happy that you will be spending time with your Mother and helping her out with her cleaning! Nice that your Gary is taking care of the grocery pick up too! That is so great that Scott was so surprised with his party!! I bet everyone had a wonderful time! Hope you are able to use the Coupert app, it seems to pop up more than the Honey one for me anyway.

@Nonni F - Hope that you are having a good day and that you are able to get out in your garden at some point today!

@vickyday - Lunch again today??? How lucky are you?! You must have found a great place to eat at! Sounds like the rest of the week will be very busy for you. I hope you get it all accomplished in record time!

@Cherylndesigns - Yup Adrienne certainly keeps you busy! How nice to get your nails done! I have a GC to get a pedicure/manicure I really should make the appt. to do that! I never knew that catnip was a good mosquito repellant, thanks for the suggestions!!

Ok I have some things to do before I open my photoshop and get to scrapping, so I better get busy! First stop is the shower:showering:Have a great day everyone! :waving1

Good morning ladies. Today I have to go get paint for the front door. Jen is going to repaint it for me. I'll take Remi to the dog park afterwards. Then I'll be home to do chores.

@faerywings Enjoy the time with your mom. Glad Scott's dinner was fun and that you were able to surprise him.

@taxed4ever Enjoy the swim if you go and that looks like a great storage stand for the kayaks. Yes, your G is handy!

I'm going to get a coffee refill and read a few pages of my book. I've started reading a bit again. Not as much as I used to but a little here and there.

HAGD everyone.

Good afternoon.

Chris @faerywings glad Scott had a good birthday party. Trudy @taxed4ever how cool is that kayak rack??? Your Gary sure is handy. That's also so cool that you got to watch the rowing team practicing - I'd be so excited, too.

Chris, I'm glad that "minute reminder" of "that night" didn't bring the party down. That's sure progress, isn't it??? It's pretty here now but raining off and on. We really needed rain, though. We went to Walgreen's last evening after our nails and I didn't
get home until about 8:30 again. Of course, we stopped and got our giant toffee double shot Frappuccino's. We have to stop doing that - they must be loaded with calories, let alone sugar. Chris @faerywings I got the most beautiful color on my fingernails - it's white, but a soft white and I'm going to get gel polish from now on. They looked good for the whole 2 weeks. I couldn't have gone too much longer but they were still ok. When I got regular manis they barely lasted a week.

Vicky @vickyday, sounds like you're very busy and how exciting that your sister is coming for a visit. Sounds like it will be a wonderful family get together.

Waving to everybody and XOXO.
