and the vacation continues
I actually feel like I'm getting stuff accomplished while I'm off. I have a list of things to do and I'm slowly getting through them.
Today will probably be some more shopping, but I need to wait and see what Dan's schedule is. His mouth is hurting so he's going to try to go to the dentist and get it checked out.
Friday and Saturday were basically hanging out at home since Dan didn't feel that well.
Sunday, we went to CVS, Bloom and Home Depot. We picked up our new patio furniture.
Monday, we did a lot of yard work in the morning (I planted the rose bushes I got from CF, Dan mowed, used the weed killer, etc.). During the afternoon, we went to Dan's mom's house for a cookout. Esa LOVED it. She had a blast and was exhausted by the time we got home.
Yesterday it was out and about doing some shopping for the house and b-days. The plan is the same today along with dropping the vacuum off for maintenance and selling my hockey equipment.
We got a call this morning from the patio place. Supposedly they don't have enough pavers to complete the job so instead of ordering another pallet of pavers they are going to purchase out of their own pocket rounded edgers for the steps. Supposedly they are usually more, but not for us. Hopefully, they will be by this afternoon if they can get the product and finish the job.

This blog started as The adventures of a D.I.N.K. family where the two "kids" are four legged and how we are going to retire early. Now it's a 1 income, 1 entrepreneur, and 1 pup getting closer and closer to retirement.

starting the vacation......
Current mood:relaxed
WHOOHOO! - ON VACATION!
Just staying home and hanging out. Yesterday, was just hanging out though. Dan had his wisdom teeth taken out. Not fun. It was supposed to start at 8:30, so we were there at 8:15 or so. When we came in they said that it might be about 15 minutes late because they had an issue with the x-ray machine. 9:45 - he finally went in. Crazy. He was done in about an hour, BUT afterwards didn't go too well. He was nausous and seeing double. Finally the other dentist came in and said his blood sugar was low. He took a cup of coke and was much better - until the second cup. Then he was throwing up - of course it was of nothing since he hadn't ate since 12 midnight the night before. BUT, then he was better. So home we went. He slept a while, but then by 4 p.m., he was basically up and around. He even went on a walk with me and Esa. He's doing well so far today.
The plan for vacation was to just hang out and get some house stuff done (birthday shopping for Dan, car maintenance, bills, cleaning, etc.), but there's been a little change in plans. Yesterday we got a call from our contractor that is doing the patio and they rescheduled us for next week. WHOOHOO! Patio should be done by Wednesday night! So Tuesday/Wednesday will be hanging out at home while the patio is being done - but I have plenty to do, just need to keep Esa busy and staying inside while the work is being done outside.
More updates to come.....

yardsale update - 5-19-08
Woohoo – Yard sale is on track! I just talked to Trevor at the clubhouse and he's making flyers for us to hang up and told me to go ahead and purchase what I need (not over $100) and keep the receipts for reimbursement!
He was VERY excited that I was heading up the event and opened the door if I was interested in overseeing the activities committee. He said that people are interested in "adult" activities, so maybe that's something I can do and he mentioned maybe then if someone has kids they would be willing to oversee "kid's" events.
