Tuesday Tidings!

I promise I'm going to find time today to hop around and visit all my blogging friends!  Yesterday with getting the DSL with the wireless set up, then figuring out the Wii for Netflix I was just tired last night!

I only have three students today and I'm already finished with one and cleaned out another closet!  I have my house almost completely cleaned and decluttered!  You know, I was watching "Clean House" before we got rid of cable and I know I don't live in the cleanest house in the world, but how in the world do those people allow themselves to live like that?  If you haven't seen the show it's just amazing what these people live in!  I mean in some cases there weren't places to sit down or even a path to walk through the house!  I've had one room like that once, but that was YEARS ago and have never let anything get like that again!  I just wonder if these people have any self pride (not proud in a bad way, but pride about their homes and possessions to keep them nice!).

Anyway, my house was no where near what some of those houses were like and I feel so good getting things cleaned out!  I still have to rearrange my room which means cleaning baseboards behind things that haven't been moved since I painted two years ago.  And the middle bedroom that doesn't really have a function needs HELP because that's where I am putting all the stuff I want to keep, but don't know where to keep it!  LOL  I am tremendously proud of myself for getting rid of hundreds of children's books that I've had since I taught full time over 16 years ago!  That feels good!  I still have my personal collection to go through which will be harder to part with some, but if I don't LOVE the book it's going in the Goodwill pile!  I was giving them all to my daughter for a yard sale, but she decided she wasn't going to do a yard sale (which pains me cause this time I have a lot of good stuff for her), but even though she won't get the benefit someone will so I'm still giving things away!

I signed us up for MLB.tv today!  I can hardly wait until tonight and we can watch the All-Star game!  Honestly had I known the All-Star game was on last night I would have signed up last night, but oh well, we can watch the archive of it!  Then tomorrow we can start watching the live games of the Braves and whatever else team we'd like to watch.

I've gotten over my bug to get a bigger TV for now.  Mike and I have decided to wait until after Christmas and make it a Christmas/Anniversary gift to ourselves!  The TV we have now is a 19" and my computer screen is 16" so we will just watch the games on the computer until we can save some money for the bigger TV.  I've been spending a lot lately with Cody's birthday, my trip to Gettysburg, and just life because Mike doesn't have a full time job so I'd like to save a little more before I go spending a bunch on something we don't NEED!

Here is one picture that I like from our trip to Gettysburg.  These are my nieces and they were trying on hats!  They couldn't decide if they wanted hats or parasols...we got parasols!  So here is a picture of the hats and then the parasols!  :)  Have a great day!
