Today I

Called About Rental Properties

This noise is driving us crazy.

I called about two rental houses in a confirmed quiet part of town. No calls back yet though.

Today I

Went to a Cool New Store

Well, new to me anyway.

Lakeshore Learning in Roseville. It was recommended by our physical therapist as a place to find educational toys. Boy, was she right. It is a store primarily for teachers, but I loved it! I would have died to go into a store like that when I was little and liked to play “school.”

We only bought some magnetic letters for the fridge to help Max work on his shoulder strength, but I will definitely be going back for more fun stuff.

Today I

Went to an Open House

Seven bedrooms. Seven bathrooms.

Clearly this isn’t a house we could/would actually consider, but we did want to see the inside of it. Unfortunately for the sellers, it is not in the best neighborhood – not a bad one, just not one worthy of this home.

Today I

Learned How to Hotwire My Laptop

My power button has been living on the edge for a few weeks now and it finally fell off. Seriously, it just fell off.

After a few days of 1. Trying to put it back on, 2. Considering paying to have it fixed, and 3. “Oh, woe is me”-ing, my husband strips the wires and rubs them together. Voila.

I should pay to get it fixed, but this really is more fun.

Today I

Started Planning  for My Sister’s Visit

My sister is coming to see us in a few days, and I couldn’t be more excited! Today, I scheduled facials for her second day here. That will be our big splurge for the trip. After that, it is Pinterest crafts and Ginger Elizabeth ice cream sandwiches.

Today I

Called the Cops…Again

This new nightclub is killing me. Fortunately, I’m not the only one who has complained. Wednesday nights are the loudest. Ugh.
