My last few hours...

...with Spencer before we head back to camp...and he's still asleep. Good Heavens! Time to do my version of what Stephieface does to her eldest....

Anyway, before the Kitty and I go in packing pillows, I figured I'd post.

Yes, Cherry, I did move the stuff out of his room, and tonight, it's going back in...so far I've wasted 3 weeks of Spencer not being here. Soon to be 4...sigh. Next weekend he is with his Dad, so I have one more week and then a bit more to work on getting rid of some stuff. And I really ought to since where it lives when not in Spencer's room is where I will be setting up my home office. Gah. I really need to get back into 'going through crap mode' here dammit!

Got a bike yesterday, not a used one at the flea market like I wanted, but a brand new one. Bike man wasn't at the flea yesterday!!! I was soooo disappointed. Kept teasing Spencer that I was going to cry since that was the one and only reason we trekked out to Berkeley was to look at bikes....then I spotted a booth that had all their older display stuff in a bin - $5 each. So now I have 2 pashmina shawls...mine...all mine....not exactly the colors I would have picked and they are a bit faded from hanging in the sun, but they will be good for when I'm in the home office in winter...it can get pretty chilly in here in Dec/Jan...

Anyway, new bike is pretty cool...a bit fancier than I wanted with all kinds of gears and shocks and God only knows what, but they are putting it together for me and with all that, it only cost me $70. Awesome...I love clearance sales.

We also picked up Harry Potter 7 and I am trying so hard not to start reading it...but failing...two chapters down so far. I'll read the rest on BART during the commute. If Spencer had not been here this weekend, I would be more than half way thru...

Spencer spent some of his birthday money too and bought a new skateboard and helmet. YAY! He loves it. We also stopped in at Half Price Books and he found a cake decorating book that shows how to make and use Fondant. He's hooked on Ace of Cakes on Food Network, so wants to check it out and maybe give it a go.

Oh snap!!!! He woke up, now I can't go wake him up all noisy and all. Bummer...

Well, have to go now. We've got to finish packing him up. The other 2 stooges are going to be here in a few hours for our trip back up to camp. It's usually just a one week thing, but the boys wanted to go for two, so we signed them all up for two. Unfortunately, they have to come home inbetween, which is why I picked them up on Friday and am taking them back today. Another parent will pick them up at the end on Friday.

Have a great Sunday everyone. I get to pick up my new flashy bike after I come back from dropping off the boys. Wooot!!!!!

  1. I'm totally going to BART as much as I can this week so I can read HP7. Somehow I arrived and I've yet to crack the spine.

    Enjoy your new bike! $70 for a new bike with shocks and stuff totally rocks!
