                                                                    Too cute!  Baby Degus.. Any body want one or two?

I thought I’d start this entry off with something cute.  We have 8 of these little buggers at our house.  Many of you are saying; "Why on God’s green earth would you have 1 of those things in your house, let alone 8?"  I can only say that I am a complete sucker. My mother would only let us have a dog as a kid, so I pretty much say yes to everything but spiders and snakes when my kids want something.

It’s a very dreary day here in Kansas… we are expecting 8"-12" of snow.. (according to Gary Lezak)  My stairs are a bit icy which makes me not want to go to the store. I sent a long list to The Man, in hopes he would go to the store for me.  Something you should know about The Man.. he would go to the store for me no matter how long he’s been at work. He’s nice like that.

I’ve written up ALL of these jeans today..

                                              
It doesn’t look like much, but there were about 25 pairs of jeans in there.  Don’t ask me if I think they will sell… Because I have NO IDEA in today’s current econonmy.

I also have this stuff to write up:

This picture doesn’t reveal much of what I have does it?  There’s that Read with me DVD, the pink ribbon which is attached to some shoes.. I’m not going to share the shoes with you. You all appear to be gentle, kind readers. I don’t think you are ready for those shoes…  But see all the plastic bags?  Those are FULL of flatware.

Back in the days when eBay was king, I would buy every piece of silverware or flatware I could get my hands on. Rachel, the shipping manager also doubles as the guru of flatware patterns… she can name a silverware pattern from 100ft.  Ok.. she can’t do that, because she has the vision of a 55 year old man.  But if you put a piece of silverware in her hands she can name the pattern.

Anyone want to see a photo of the shipping manager?
                                                                                      
                                                                                    What is wrong with her?

Someone needs to snap a real photo of her. I’ll get her brothers right on it.  Watch out Rachel, you have a bounty on your head.. I’m paying a Nutty Bar to anyone that get’s a photo of the elusive shipping manager.  Photos to come…

It started out as a pretty good day.  Cloudy and overcast.. VERY WINDY.. but still a nice day.  The children were quiet, doing their school, and I was taking a little time out to enjoy The View.  Elizabeth Hasslebeck was getting ready to rant about something… and BOOM the electricity went out.  So we waited..

All in all.. it’s been good. I fixed some pictures.. bought some books to sell.. and the kids had a little field trip.  Now it’s off to run 2 of the 5 to dance.
