Time for a yard sale

by

I just went into the basement. I never go into the basement.

Never.

It’s a mess!!! Since our house has been in a constant state of renovation since the day we moved in and we only have two closets in the whole house, everything that we plan to use when certain rooms are finished being renovated is in the basement.

Unfortunately, I’m now certain that there’s a lot of other stuff down there that we’ll never use.

There’s some old furniture that I was going to use but I think I might just replace when the rooms are renovated, and then there’s all of Chris’ sporting equipment that he hasn’t used from the time I’ve known him! Stuff like hockey equipment, golf clubs, baseball gear and so on. I’ve got a lot of books and knick knacks that I don’t think I’ll end up using either.

Maybe I’ll go through everything in the basement and see what things are there that I don’t think we’ll ever use again and then set things up for a yard sale.

Yeah, that’s what I’ll do! Anyone want to come to a yard sale? We have nice junk.





Putting Chris to bed

by

I just had to coax Chris to go to bed. All week he’s working the early shift so he’s got to get up at 5 a.m.. Yikes! Of course, Ottawa and Anaheim are playing the fourth? Stanley Cup finals game tonight.

He would have stayed up to watch the whole game if he could have, and when Anaheim took the lead in the 2nd period he wanted to. I was keeping my fingers crossed that Ottawa would tie up the game because I knew I’d be able to coax him to get to bed if the game was at least tied.

Ottawa did tie it up so he’s in bed now. That’s a good thing too ’cause Anaheim just took the lead again!

Yes you read that right. I actually left the hockey game on even though Chris has gone to bed. I don’t know why … well other than the fact that I hope Ottawa wins this game too! Hey, it’s my home town, I gotta hope the Sens win!

We lost!

by

I did end up watching most of the hockey game last night. As I said Chris and I ended up cleaning out our freezer last night due to a thawing problem we had earlier in the week so the hockey game was put on pause on the DVR while we did that.

By the time we finished throwing out food from the freezer and making dinner it was definitely time for me to relax. Now, watching hockey when I’m trying to relax isn’t all that relaxing but I did end up getting into the game towards the third period.

It was a close game with the Senators scoring the first goal, then by the third period the game was tied 2 to 2, but in the last few minutes Anaheim scored another goal and won the game 3 to 2.

Oh well, that’s ok. There’s still possibly six games left to play. Ottawa could still win.

You know, if I complain about watching hockey at this time of year Chris turns around and looks at me and says something like “But this could be the last hockey game of the year!” You know, like there’s nothing else to live for. It’s kind of funny.

Myrtle Beach Golf Vacation packages

by

My husband has always enjoyed playing golf, but really hasn’t had the time to get out and play for a couple of years. His birthday is coming up in July and when I saw that the CoastalGolfaway.com site offered myrtle beach golf vacation packages I thought to myself, this might be a great idea for Chris’ birthday gift.

The prices seem quite reasonable. If I’m reading this correctly it looks like we could go to Myrtle Beach, and if we got one of the vacation packages we’d stay for three nights in a fully equipped villa with four beds (each villa has four beds), and we could play on the following courses – Thistle, Tigers Eye, Panthers Run and Players Club. The package listing only went up to May 20th, but it looks like that would cost about $436 per golfer.

That seems like a pretty good price for four rounds of golf and a three night stay in a fully equipped villa. The price apparently includes the green and cart fees plus all taxes. Seems like a pretty sweet deal for anyone that enjoys the game of golf!

Hockey Night in Canada

by

Well it’s the first night of the Stanley cup finals! Go Ottawa Senators!!!!

I like hockey, especially if it’s my hometown team that wins, but I’m not all that into watching it.

I’ve had a lot of work to finish up in the last 24 hours and I’m getting close to having it all done so I was looking forward to just relaxing for the rest of the evening. Unfortunately, since I’m not all that into watching hockey on TV I think I’m going to end up working on my sites for a while.

My husband on the other hand managed to put two window air-conditioners in and he’s now glued to the tv set. Sigh ….

If I want to relax I’m going to have to watch hockey ….
