PROCRASTINATING (ON MY MIND)

p

It has been one of those rainy, dreary days where you are torn between pulling the covers back up over you head and staying in bed all day or making the most of a not so good day. Since it is the weekend and I hate to waste a perfectly good day off, we opted to get up this morning and go right out into the nasty weather.

John got on the computer and looked up auctions on auctionzip.com. This is a neat little calender of events in and around the area. You just put in your zip code and the number of miles you're willing to drive and it list the auctions in that area. With gas being $3.49 a gallon here, we chose a 15 mile radius. The auction we chose was in a warehouse out in industrial park. It was a very nice facility, we were out of the rain and had clean restrooms and food available. We got there late so most of the good stuff was already gone. This was good, because we weren't tempted to purchase stuff we would regret later. The only thing I did get was a set of dishes. Now I have thirty place settings of this pattern. I think I'm having a (what was I thinking moment). That's alright. If I ever get the whole family together I will be able to use most of the pieces.

After the auction we went over to Keepers of the past to check on our booth. While we were in that part of town we went over to Stephano's and got a pizza. I have mentioned these pizzas before, but I have to again. They make a mega supreme pizza that has everything on it. Canadian bacon, sausage, pepperoni, green olives, black olives, onions peppers and I figure more stuff. These are the best pizzas I have ever eaten. If you are in Sheffield, go to Town Plaza Shopping center. They are located in the corner next to Keepers of the Past Antique mall.

Yummm....

I am having one of those days where I am seeing so much stuff started and hardly anything finished. I started lining some of my rug purses, but just couldn't stay with it long enough to finish. I'll try again tomorrow. I have my rug that is about three fourth of the ways finished and is in the utility room waiting for me to get re motivated. I have the picture scanner sitting on the dresser waiting for me to start scanning our old pictures to a disk. My Rosetta Stone keeps starring me in face here at the computer and the one person I could practice my Spanish words on got fired the other day and the rest of the workers speak Chinese. But I will learn to speak enough Spanish to be able to decipher whether the people I'm standing in line with at Wal-mart are talking about me:)

Last week was very hectic. Denise our manager had to have emergency gallbladder surgery, one of the girls nephews died, another was in the hospital with the flu and another was in Fl. with her daughter for a recycle convention. But it doesn't matter how many people are out the work still has to get done so everyone pulled together and got-er-done. Hopefully next week will be a little smoother. The George Lindsey film festival is coming up, so we will be working on that most of the week. By the way George was in the hospital, so due to his health some of the events had to be canceled.

I was just getting excited about Spring being in the air. The buttercups, forsythia and the Bradford pears are in full bloom. But I'm afraid to say that the cold front that just went through has turned it as cold as a Witch's Tu-Tu in Alaska. I guess we will have to wait just a little longer to proclaim that it is spring in AL.

Matthew if you read this I haven't forgotten your Soap Box Derby pictures. I have to figure how to resize them before I can download them to my blog.
