Well, another weekend as flown by and I have begun my last week of unemployed freedom. Saturday with the Hoyts was just fun.
I was tired just from laughing all day. Really, some of the kids entertained me just as much as Josh entertained them. and it's a lot easier to remember all of them now that I have names to go with faces.... I'm not sure if it's good or bad that Carolyn sort of reminds me of me at that age. I really enjoyed the food....I had forgotten just how good garden fresh vegetables are! Those were the best pickled beets I've ever had--they had the perfect crunch! and the rest of the food was great too! like the cherry pie! I wish I could master the art of pie dough....I need more practice :-) (and more counter space....)
We have also placed an offer on a house--but we're keeping our options open as there is another offer that is supposed to be placed and the house is under what is called a "short sale" involving the Evil Bank that has caused much grief for other recent home-buying friends.
The plans this weekend include: getting new driver's licenses...so that police aren't confused and touchy when the driver's license state doesn't match the vehicle's plates... (I may have gotten a ticket... stupid highways with 65mph limits) Tickets are cheaper in Iowa, but, there isn't the nifty 'take defensive driving and we'll waive the ticket" option. I guess we'll see what happens to the insurance. It's a good thing I could safely say that I had only been in the state since June 13. Otherwise I might have gotten a second ticket for not changing my driver's license yet.
We also need to do a little grocery shopping and I need to go buy some more slacks and shoes for the new job. I haven't bought shoes in a few years.... Shopping for shoes and pants for someone of my height gets...frustrating. I also need to go get a wedding gift for the upcoming trip to see family and friends in Chicago area for the Moore wedding of much LeTU reunionness. We also have to talk to our mortgage people to get new numbers run, now that I have a job.
So, it's to be a busyish week.
