Less?

Sam has arrived. And he is large. Not so in charge though. Poor guy is shy and homesick. He did fine when S and G dropped him off, kinda moped around until the boys came home and then he acted like S and G came to get him. Then when it was time to go to bed, whew, not so good Al. He whined all night. He cuddled with Hubs some but really not happy. I took them all out at about 4am. No good. He's gonna have a long week. Poor guy.

S has never been to our house before, he was very complimentary. I forget what the lake must seem like on your first visit. It's pretentious looking when you have to be buzzed in and all. Lots of nice houses on the way to ours but there are lots of ranges if you go all over. Once here he kept saying, wow you have a lot of 'stuff'. Yeah more is more I guess. I'm organized and orderly but there every space is decorated. I feel like I've been paring down but really we just have tons of stuff. Not expensive or techy but just stuff we've (I've) accumulated over the years. I bet there is 1000 books here or more. But I don't pay lots of money for my stuff. I keep stuff way past when other people send it on. I have clothes from high school. I have records and used pretty perfume bottles. I have vintage purses and craft supplies to last a lifetime. My stuff in organized. I have everything in its place. The problem is I've run out of space. Especially with clothing and craft supplies. So its kinda piling up. What to do?

The boys got up early this morning to go fish at Rocky Fork. Preparing for a tourney in July. I've got the dogs on the back porch trying to keep them from eating each others food. Poor Sam I think his food might be a little more bland.

I love that Stella wakes up from her nap, seeks me out and slinks over to have her head patted.

Dogs out and fed

Suitcase Surprise!

Trying a new recipe my friend Jenny told me about- 3-2-1 cake by Duncan Hines. For when you need a single serving of cake. It will be out in 15 minutes so we'll see. This biggest loser diet at work is making me crave a little something after being good all weekend.
update- it was OK

Watched The Wish List on Hallmark today. Hubs asked if it was a Christmas movie or something. No. OHH yes it is a corny movie and I only revert to that at Christmas. And during stress. At work. OK well it was good. Better than yesterday's Undercover Bridesmaid.

Then I got a healthy dose of You've Got Mail playing in the background while I started reading Beauty Queens by Libba Bray. Good stuff. A student of mine who reads a lot and talks books with me said this is the best she's read in a long time YA wise. So I brought it home.

 Perfect Sunday afternoon- dogs, blanket from childhood, Hallmark corny movie and a book.
 This is why I get no reading done. Top half- my book, bottom half- my dog who jumped up and laid down promptly acting like she fell asleep.

I can't remember where this came from but I'm going to need it when I redo the basement!
A teacher made a bulletin board for each teacher with a questionnaire and pictures. I included this fun one from high school.

Finally saying goodbye to February

Saturday!
Last evening I met with the Mobies for the second time. I. Love. This. Group. First we ate and drank, then we talked about everything but Moby, then we settled down to business.
These are people I talk with, not to or who just talk to me.
3 of us spent the night and solved the world's problems over breakfast. Lovely morning I'll never forget and helped us all heal us a little.
Then I came home, crafted and watched
The Librarian: Quest for the Spear

and
The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines
Two extremely cheesy movies only a librarian could love.
