Updating



I finally had a moment to spend a little time on blogger this President's Day.  Hooray!

So, I'm feeling like it is time for a fresh start.  Sort of sad that only 2 weeks later, and I'm having a new start.  But, isn't that what life is all about?  Fresh farts constantly...sorry...typo (had to do it as I'm around poop humor ALL DAY long.)

As much as the snow days were a little confining, it was quite nice to catch up on sleep and have nowhere to go each day.  We continued that trend during our weekend in Atlanta as my mother is always happy to watch children in the morning due to her 4am wake up time.  Now, that's a woman who has never needed a snooze.  Of course, we were hoping to have a 5am call time for our extra gig, but it was cancelled due to wind.  We are first on the list the next time they need a family which is Atlanta-wood speak for better luck next time, suckas.

In line with a weekend of Goose Chases, we went on a goose chase across Atlanta to an auction where we came home with a trunk full of what I call auction riff raff.  In our mini-wan was a rug (good), a storage thingy for the top of the van (broken), and...wait for it...a bubble chair (what the heck??)  For those keeping track, we went to Atlanta with the expectation that we would come home with approximately $200.  Instead, we spent about $400 and faced a moral dilemma of bringing home either the bubble chair or a child.  For the record, we brought home the child, but we are having 2nd thoughts on that one as the bubble chair would add a certain "who are these people?" feel to our family room.

Today has been on target for productivity.  I've taken a shower (check), purchased necessary items from Costco (check), and bought a cart full of unnecessary food stuffs from Aldi (no check as 4 boxes of generic oreos was not on my list.)

Looking forward to no snoozing tomorrow!

Goose Chase

Today I had no problem getting out of bed again.  Sadly, it is because we went on a crazy Goose Chase last night.

Yesterday afternoon I got word that the whole fam could be extras today on a TV show filmed in ATL.  Great!  Fun!  All 4 of us + mini-van would get to work which equals real spending money.

Off we went in the rain and traffic to get to ATL for a call time this morning.  Except...crickets...no call time ended up getting sent.  So, I got up early to eagerly check emails with no result.

Too bad, so sad.  Best guess is they cancelled due to weather. 

Of course, sometimes goose chases can end up being great fun, and being perfectly honest, I had to get out of the house.  It was very satisfying to flee SC for a couple of days.

In other news, we went to The Lego Movie last night, and it was great.  The only bad side effect from it was dreaming in lego blocks. 

Have a great day!!
