Well.....I've been getting bouquets of balloons lately. Yesterday, it was the serger. Today? Today we got an old Persian rug, in colors that look fantastic with the dining room, in a size that fits PERFECTLY under the table....for $43.

I don't know WHAT is going on....because if we're going Home, why did I need a rug (and why do I need to be frantically painting the walls/trim? I mean.....Anna said "resale"..which I had wondered about, but if so, the rug was NOT necessary. Nor was the serger......)?

It's...odd. I mean......we ran into town to get the pool water checked, and I stopped at Half Price to get a book on using the serger (had to go to JoAnn's, because HP didn't have any - but JoAnn's is just across the shopping center).....and as we were heading home, SG saw the little Antique store the kids and I went to a month or so ago. He wanted to stop.....and there was The Rug.

I'm almost afraid to run to the store again...:lol:

We did hit a letterbox on the way home - it was hard to find. Herself has good eyes, though - and the stamp was pretty cool.

Anyway - anything weird going on elsewhere, or am I just "lucky"? 'Cause this...this is odd, given the Season we're about to enter into.

be EVER in your favor! Yup, we watched "Hunger Games" today...it's actually a pretty good adaptation. They cut some of the non-essential scenes, but they also cut some important ones - AND they added some scenes from Book 2. :sigh:

1 of the big cut scenes was cut because the Department of Backstory went on sabbatical - they show snippets of Peeta tossing Katniss bread....but without ANY sort of context, you don't get WHY it was such a big deal. :sigh: And they cut the scene where Katniss gets a gift from a different district - again, that's a pretty important plot device.

Overall, though, it was a good movie.

The Music/Game room is DONE. I just need to hang the art and put it all back together, but the walls are painted and so is the trim. So is the hallway between the kids' rooms. It needs trim paint, but looks nicer now.

Friday afternoon we went on a letterbox loop. 5 boxes...we found 3. 2 of them were long-gone, but it was still fun. 1 of the boxes was at the church that threw me out...that was kinda odd. :lol: And that box was full of ants......:lol:

It's been hot enough recently that we've been able to use the pool again - *I* can't take it if the water is under 92*. That means it needs to be at least 96* outside, for a few days, so that the water warms up. This is the First year I can remember where we only had 12 days of triple-digit heat in August. That's....NOT normal.

Anyway.....need to print out the stuff for school next week. I'm still on the fence about school during the 10 Days of Awe.....IF we're here. Guess I'll play it by ear - Herself at least HAS to work on Math, or she'll lose all of it. :sigh:
