Memorial Day Weekend

What have you been up to this week?


I got a laptop for Mothers Day because we thought my old laptop was causing a printer problem.
It didn't work.
Laptop was returned.
Back to square 1 with the printer problem.
~
Our community had a yard sale last weekend.
It didn't go as well as I thought, but I am $76.00 richer and the garage is cleaner.

My husband's birthday falls on Memorial Day weekend.
A picnic is planned at his brothers house.
The forecast calls for rain.
Bummer!
~
Zachary is graduating in a few weeks.
Where did the time go?
~
The air-conditioner broke in my car - AGAIN!
Not good timing since we have had an abnormal heat wave.
The heat makes me cranky!
~
School is almost over.
My summer work schedule is lighter.
I l.o.v.e. summer!
Which sounds crazy since the heat makes me cranky.

Have you ever had a pen pal?
You know, the kind where you actually write a letter instead of email?
I did as a teenager. A girl from Japan.
I wonder whatever happened to her?
Now I have a new pen pal from Australia.
We met thru blogging but we both thought it would be fun to go back to pen and paper!

Have a wonderful three day weekend!

  1. Printer problems are never fun - but why did you have to return your Mother's Day gift? ;)

    $76 richer is better than nothing, right? Especially since your garage is a little cleaner. ;)

    Happy Birthday to your hubby - here's hoping the rain holds off for the picnic... *fingers crossed*

    I'm with you - heat makes me CRANKY. I love the lazy days of summer, but it would be so much nicer without heat and humidity. ;) Hope your car A/C gets fixed soon!

    I haven't had a pen pal since middle school - how cool you have a new one now! :)

    Love that e-card! Mmmmmm, Adam Levine is divine! ;) Have a great weekend!

  3. A Pen pal... that's so cool!!! So 'old school' :)
    I'd cry if my heat broke... seriously just cry
    Sometimes you wonder if its worth having a yard sale... I convince my husband to just take the tax write off & donate everything.
    Fingers crossed the rain stays away!
    & yes - Adam Levine... yes...

  4. I just remembered that I had a dream last night that I had a last minute garage sale.
    I live out in the middle of NOWHERE. Nobody but mosquitos would come. lol
    I did a blog pen pal thing a couple of years ago where I matched bloggers up with pen pals. It was fun, I wonder if anyone still participates....

  6. Happy birthday to your DH, hope it is a nice weekend for your family.

    Looks like you had a couple of frustrating hiccups this week with the printer and car, hope they are getting sorted.
    Yes I had two pen pals in my school days that I particularly remember, from Canada, and one visited here in Australia when she was in her 20s, and I heard from her again last year.

  9. I've never had a pen pal, but I love real handwritten letters. I still write letters on occasion. I treasure some of the letters written to me through the years, and wonder if this generation will have anything like that as a keepsake. Hope your weekend was fun and not a complete wash. Happy birthday to your hubs!
