FRIDAY and SATURDAY

I continue to be dizzy, which makes every day life interesting. I have not fainted again. I am eating "something" every couple of hours.

Speech, produce co-op, something else. We all went and watched Arielle and Nolan in a performance that their drama class put on. They did good. They were nervous. Miss A was PUT out that "the military" made Dad miss Christmas and NOW her play....but several dads missed. I'm really, really glad that the kids participated in this. I tend to avoid many outside activities...but this was 8 weeks...and was beneficial.

Women's Project Night. This was my first time going somewhere to crop. I took the albums mom had made with me. I spent about an hour organizing things. I only took two bags and wasn't quite sure what was in them. I've not used this stuff since our move. I put together the power sorter thing that I found in one bag. I thought about taking all the photos out of all the albums mom had made and storing them...then I decided to simply transfer one album. I finished one. I simply copied mom's writing. The pieces of magnetic pages would be too thick....when Mike gets home we'll see if he can scan the rest in a way that I can use them. We had fun and midnight came before we knew it. Everyone wants to do this monthly. I'm still committed to simplifying - in other words "they're photos - put them in the album already!!!" I have DECADES of photos to get into albums.....and I knew some of the photos were falling out and some of the pages were yellow...but it became apparent that the magnetic "stuff" was eating away the photos. It's time to make transferring these albums a priority....and then all the big albums Mike and I took for the first 20 years of our marriage. LOL THEN, maybe, I'll think about being crafty again....

Used Book Fair this a.m. at 8:30. I didn't sell a lot; but I've already listed the books I have left online. I DID sell a few things - enough to pay for the Math U See Geometry that I picked up. ::snort::

Now - I need a nap. I need to clean. I need to do laundry. Tomorrow is a big pot luck at chapel and so I should cook.....and Mike comes home in a few hours. Hey, maybe I can post photos again once he gets home and speaks to the computers! ::snort::

I think it's a good sale day if you sell nough to cover what you bought!

Hope that dizziness will go away or at least lessen.

Sorry you are still feeling so dizzy. Hope you feel better soon.

What a great start on "Mom's Labor of Love". You got a good amount done.

I agree with Jodi, if you sell enough to buy some new stuff, you are doing well.

Sis:

Sounds like you need a vacation to just come to my house and we can sit and go thru the HUGRE chest full of pictures..... :) That would just end up adding to your amount etc. :( Sounds like you have a good plan.

BOOKS SALES: One 9 yr old boy in Florence started 2-3 years ago to have a book sale one day a year. The money he makes always goes to food banks for Oregon and more especially Lane county or Florence. He does real well each year. The sale might be next week and I will let you know how much this kid earns. By now ALL of Lane County donates books; all kinds of people help him sort before the sale and etc. He is really quite an awesome kid when it comes to setting things up.
