Welcome to Dana's blog!

What a day!

I knew we'd be jammed and we were! I got up and worked out, got the roast on and decided to go ahead and toss int he potatoes. Then I decided to live on the edge and took a package of pork gravy (the powder stuff) and added maybe 1T of onion soup mix. I mixed that w/1.5 cups water and dumped it in. I'll tell you how it worked out when I eat it!LOL I put in carrots, but they are on top and hopefully not int he gravy.;)

Then we got ready and headed out. I was VERY glad I loaded the van yesterday since it was 35 and RAINY here today! We made it to the PO, bank and the recycling. While at the recycling, when I flipped the lid open a bunch of cold water ran down my arm. That was fun. Then to the cultural center. They had Harry and Digit from Cyberchase there. They also have an exhibit and it was really neat! JOey LOVED Harry (the real Harry!)! So we were there a couple of hours and ran into other HS families that we know.

Then to lunch, which was kind of funny cuz one of the other HS families went to LJS as well. They talked about going to Quoba so when Joey asked if he could sit w/these 2 girls and I said yes, thinking that we weren't going to the same restaurant. Oops!LOL Then to Goodwill, Miejer and ALdi. I did buy the new Woolite Rug stick. I'm not one for TV ads, but our carpets are disgusting and DH keeps saying not to have them cleaned cuz we'll get new. That's been 2 years.......LOL  I was expecting it to set me back about $15. I was VERY happy to see it marked down to $10 and I had a $3 off coupon! So I went ahead and bought the big cleaner (it can be used sans the stick if I didn't like it) since it was $3. Probably the plan, but it worked. It's 'drying' as I type.

So we made it home (Dh beat us!) and I tossed the carrots in the CP, scrubbed the carpets and got the checkbook updates. ANd SIL called about the rental condo in the Ozarks. We're still looking for a family vacation (For 13) and this place has 4 bedrooms/4ba and sleeps 12! Plus in the off season it's $1200/week so it'd be $300/family for 7 days! I thought that was a decent deal anyway. Gas getting there will be another issue......LOL

Ok, I"m off to vacuum and see about supper.
