It's that wonderful time of year of the year when summer must come to an end and we go back to school. It seems like summer really flew by and I was even a little sad to send them off for such a long day. I got over it real fast spending my first free morning working then going to eat and shop with Tarja.
Both girls really like their teachers and have have had a wonderful first week.
Ha Ha, I totally hijacked Kims blog. She should really use different passwords for each site. Anyways, I play an online game alot, and it is fun, and they are handing out some goodies if I post this on our blog. I play the first one. My game name is Rocinante #1216122

Jeff
About a month ago I woke up in the middle of the night and I swore I smelled something burning. I was so sure of it that I got up like 3 times to make sure I wasn't imagining things. After I woke Jeff up and he investigated and found nothing, we went back to bed and in the morning everything smelled fine.
So a few days ago we noticed that the receiver kept shutting off and there was that strange smell coming from it. Jeff thought his receiver was going bad. He pretended to be really sad that he was going to have to replace it if this was the case. On Sunday when we got home from church he decided to look into it. He went under the entertainment center and unplugged the power strip. Here's the result:
When he unplugged it there was a little flame that he blew out. Scary!! I would have been so sad if that entertainment center had gone up in flames. He replaced the outlet and so far, no burning smells. I'm so glad that Jeff was worried about his electronic equipment and he checked it. Otherwise, I might be posting from a hotel room.
Ok, since Kaye tagged me, I'm going to post about Moi. (Though it took me a couple of days to actually come up with anything remotely interesting :)
These are the rules: list 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 surprising facts and then tag 5 other people. Leave a comment for the people you tag so they know they have been tagged.
Here it goes:
Joys......
1. "Girl time" with Cara and Natie
2. New shoes
3. Good chocolate
Fears....
1. Something happening to my kids
2. Getting my front teeth knocked out
3. Snakes--I hate them and will never allow one in the house. Especially if they eat live animals.
Current obsessions/collections:
I would like to think I'm balanced enough not to have OBSESSIONS, so I will think of these as hobbies and I can't think of anything I collect since I hate chotskies :)
1. Reading
2. Design/Restoration--I'm finishing a degree in interior design and I want to restore an old house one day (pre 1940s)
3. Running-my favorite time to go is at dusk when its cool outside:)
Surprising Facts....
1. I used to play paint ball with Jeff. Those things hurt when you get shot!
2. I am actually a bit shy--until I get to know you, then good luck getting me to shut up :) I think this is sometimes mistaken for snobbery.
3. We moved a lot as a kid until I hit High School.
I tag:
1. Liz R.
2. Suzanne
3. Andrea
4. Julianna
5. Rose
Have fun!
