Glimpses of 40

Friday.

Mike and I attempted to move scraproom furniture upstairs. It didn't take long for him to realize what I already knew. There was no way on this earth we could haul that heavy stuff up those stairs. Major bummer. So I began to call movers. We were able to schedule them for Saturday morning. Until then the room gets put on hold. Big sigh. One disc from the Chalean Extreme set came in. I happily spent time previewing it while I ironed. It looks fabulous. I can't wait to do it tomorrow. Jamie had a haircut appointment after school. Apparently, the whole rock band thing has kicked in. He had a fit over the 1/4 inch he had trimmed. I was not ready for that. I guess he thinks haircuts are no longer necessary. I really don't have a problem with long hair. It does has to have some style and shape to it. Mike doesn't want to spend good money on 1/4 inch cut.

Saturday.

The movers came at 7:30 and got busy. They were thrilled to have the work. The men told Mike it had been a hard few months with the economy so bad. Mike is very generous and they left quite happy. I am thrilled to have it all moved in. All of the furniture pieces in the scraproom are repurposed items. Most of it came from Mike's old office at the pharmacy. I am thrilled to have a real desk with drawers. Also included are a microwave cart, computer stand, and small chest. Each piece will have a purpose - think centers in a school room.

I tried the interval and ab workout on the new Chalean DVD. It was a solid workout that left me dripping sweat. The new set is sleek and modern. Many of my favorite moves are in this disc. This will probably become a favorite.

I only had a little time to play in the room before we left for Conway. Mike has a Bronco gathering planned for tonight. We farm the kids out to anyone who will take them and head out. The group meets at Outback for a good time. I really do like this group of people. They all discuss the next planned trail run somewhere in Missouri. This one does not include hotel rooms so Mike may go alone. We enjoyed dessert at one the members home. I took several pictures, including a group shot at the restaurant. I have to post the one of the model Bronco. They had several of these around the house. These men are as obsessed with their toys as I am with my scrap hobby. Speaking of obsessed. You may think my scraproom is over the top. I simply ask, have you seen my husband's shop?

Sunday.

What a beautiful day. Our weather has been gross. Today was like a warm spring day. The puppies spent a lot of time outside. After church I began to arrange things in the scraproom. Finally! I can actually start to set things up. Many thanks to Mike for his help with the computer and technical stuff. I will wait until it's complete to post any pictures. Today's picture is my idea of a great Superbowl.
