The past 2 weeks (aside from last Monday) I've been going into the office. As much as I love going there, working and getting PAID, not having the time to do things is hard to adjust to again.
Being home all the time, I have plenty of time to do all the little things. Like vacuum. By the end of the first week, the house was so dirty I didn't dare walk around barefoot. I assigned the girls areas of the house to vacuum, but they never do the job as well as I do!
I haven't touched my camera since Jan and I went to the cemetery on Memorial Day, either! It has sat on my desk collecting dust until yesterday.
I did take it to work the first couple of days, but I was so busy, I didn't have time to take any photos. And it's kind of a pain to carry around. Oh, I have a very nice camera bag, but I was carrying that, my purse, my laptop bag and lunch. I didn't have enough hands for it all!
I would love a camera bag/purse, and my goal is to one day get me one of these:
It's by Jo Totes, and is very stylish. I love how it doesn't look like a camera bag, plus it holds all your purse essentials.
Anyway, not much else going on. The kids are out for the summer, and S keeps saying she can't wait until practice starts up again (the end of this week). I think she is so busy during the school year, that when it all stops, she doesn't know what to do with herself!!
The younger 2 are spending a few days with their Aunt Janice this week (R is there now until Wednesday, then she & D will swap) doing who knows what. Even if it's nothing, sometimes just a change of environment is all they need to cure the summer doldrums.
Sean is doing what he always does ~ work! And golf on Thursdays now that greens fees are super cheap. He's in a league and they have a pool for whoever wins or gets a hole in one ( I think the winnings are $200-$500). He has yet to win either pool!!
I'm off to finish laundry, then it'll be another day in the pool. The weather report is for a high of 111! Definitely all day pool weather!!
Thanks for the Camera bag /handbag tip. I'm going to google it NOW. I love being off work.
ReplyDeleteThough I probably would NOT be vacuuming.
Anywho - no ONE can do it like YOU!
Why can't I find someone to PAY ME to write Picture of the Day ?? So many people tell me how they LOVE it & look forward to reading it.... but when I said - Hey - I bought a new camera to enhance PotD why don't you chip in for it ...only ONE person gave me $$$. If each subscriber gave me ten bucks it would have more than bought my new camera..... hmmmmm. charging for picture of the day. making a business of it. Wonder how THAT would go.... not retiring but just making a little extra cash. end of diatribe.
I linked to Jo Totes (just click on the text) so you can check out her stuff.
ReplyDeleteOn you PotD money venture, from what I've seen & read, the way to make money is to have a blog with adds. Each time a reader "hits" your blog you get $$. Which is great if you have a lot of readers!
