Hello my fellow
. My phone and internet service has been spotty this past week so I'm going to try to post everything today while it's cooperating.
It's been another rather ho-hum week in Durham but that was mostly due to limited mobility - I am still having problems with my back. On Monday Kevin and I watched National Treasure 2 via Netflix but that was really about it. It was mostly just a day of more heating pad and hobbling. I did, however, find more droppings in my pantry so I cleaned them out and checked around the kitchen. There were also more droppings in the cabinet. I pulled out all the dishes and set them out to be rewashed. Again. Ew. Mind you, this is after we established an arsenal of bait and traps. Let's hope this is the last of it.
Tuesday wasn't really any more exciting. I went to work and upon returning home, Kevin had
set up for me to watch. He's so cute. Wall-E, I mean. Well, I guess Kevin is, too, but don't tell him I said so! Eh, he'd never believe you anyway. I did think it was a sweet gesture, though.
On Wednesday as I was heading to work, I spotted another yellow Ranger. The first one I've seen anywhere since I've been here. In St. Louis on my way to work, I would see one every single morning going the opposite direction on the highway. Then, once they opened a Little Caesar's in Arnold, I found out that one of the workers there owned one. He was happy he could put a face with the truck but frustrated because he wanted his to be the only one in Arnold. He added some detailing on his and said he had more in store for his truck. I tried to put his mind at ease by telling him that I was moving out of the state but he said it didn't matter because he still knew of one other person with the same truck. Boys.
Thursday Kevin and I ventured out to the local DMV to get our state driver's license. I hated knowing that I had to take the written part of the exam and quite possibly the driving exam as
well. It turns out, the people at the DMV were quite efficient and nice so the whole experience played out much more nicely than what I had envisioned. I passed the written test with flying colors and thankfully did not have to have my driving skills evaluated. I'm also thankful that the process wasn't as painful as anticipated. I do, however, think the license itself is cursed. Ever since I have received it, I have been driving like a mad woman. I do sincerely believe that what was left of my brain was attached to my MO license. It seems that my driving skills are worse than that of a new driver. I have been thinking of revoking my own license! I scare myself.
Friday I went to work and not much else, really.
Saturday my back felt well enough for me to try to clean again and I was successful except for having to break periodically. It was also the day I found out I was a winner! I love digital scrapbooking and making digital greetings (which can also be printed and made into a million other things!) and I'm always scouring the internet for downloads. I prefer that they are free but I have been known to buy a kit or two (or twelve...). There are so many amazingly talented people out there and many of them are so generous by offering free items periodically so I don't
mind purchasing some of their products. Anyway, I have grown to love certain designers and Amy Sumrall is one of them--she made the Russian Collection kit that I used to decorate this blog. I was reading Amy's blog one day and read her post stating she was going to hold a drawing to give away one of her older kits. I liked the color combinations and the retro feel of it so I left her a comment on her blog as per the rules of the drawing. Next thing you know I get a congratulatory e-mail from her and the files to download. Awesome! I don't normally win things but I was (am still!) thankful that I was the winner of her kit. It's so cute. I even used it for the weather report this week so I could show you some of the items in the kit and show you how cute it is. I'm still excited about it!
As for Kevin, besides starting back to school this week he's been a reading machine--he finished:
Eldest by Christopher Paolini (for the second time)
V for Vendetta by Alan Moore and David Llyod
I'm still working on Eldest and hope to have it read soon.
Oh! And please vote in my little poll I have at the top right of this page. I just want to know if you are all interested in my weather reports at all or if I'm just doing it for the fun of it. And do you like my latest posts with pictures or would you rather just read what I have to say? Trying to cater to my readers! Thanks.
