More rain here. Boy, I'm glad DH chose a lot up on a little hill! Our backyard is pretty soggy, though, and when the dogs come in, they are wet! It stormed again last night, and there is more rain in the forecast! We don't really have any big plans for the weekend...I've been fighting off a cold and just going on low energy, so even though I should be cleaning something, I'm not! Bad girl. I think I used up a lot of vim and vigor with VBS and vacation! LOL!

That doesn't mean I can't get DD to clean her room, though, does it????

See ya'll later!

I have finished cleaning the house, and all the fod prep work is done. People will be here in abour 1 hour and 45 mins. I need a shower but that's about it. I even managed to load the dishwasher as I preped stuff so there are no dirty dishes for after. Dave is doing the cooking on the grill, burgers, brats and hot dogs. I made Pasta salad, dips (with chips) I bought a cake, and ice cream. I have all the veggies cut up and ready to go. I've been chopping cucumbers, tomatos and onions all morning. Between the macaroni salad and toppings for the burgers and dogs, there are a ton of veggies cut up. I have a nifty slicer and it made it quick work. I also have a vegatatian niece, so she is having macaroni salad and cheese pizza. She also loves my spinich dip, so I made a HUGE container of it for her (and me too). I am sending Dave to pick up the cake so I can finish up around here. I'll check in later if the party doesn't kill me. ~Mandy

Hello Y'all!

We are out doing some work, so just a quickie here. It looks like it is going to storm any minute now and I want to get some flowers in the pots before it does.

Eileen - We used to do the settle then sweep stuff, but it takes about 4-6 weeks to get it back pretty, so now we just drain it and re-fill it and it's done in a few days. We do it ourselves, so the only thing it costs is the Water to re-fill it and last time it cost about $50 so I would rather do that than not be able to use the pool for so long. Besides, we are having company Wednesday, then again on the weekend, and we really need to pool to be ready to use.

Mandy - Have fun at the party!

Kat - Hope yours turns out well too!

Cindy - You look great just the way you are!

I only get Wednesday off, but I am going to try and make up a bunch of stuff on Tuesday night, then put the meat etc. in the smoker so it won't be so much cooking. If I can get the salads done the day before, then it will be great.

Well going to run and get some more done before the rain hits again.

Later!

The party here was great, Hey Kat how did it go for you???? We had people drop in all day, and I only have a small amount of juk food left over, woohoo!!! I do however have a big chunk of cake left over, and it was good cake. I am sooo tired, I think I am going to take a hot bath and get some rest. I will check in tomorrow. Hey Betty, I hope the rain passes quickly. ~Mandy
