Weekly 4 - Wednesday Randomness

1. Home all week, such a treat. I'm making special use of this time to bust a move on Christmas. Yes that's right I started making gifts already!
2. I have eaten all my meals out of bowls this week. Bowls are so underrated we should eat out of them more. I love bowls although it's not fun to say like spork.
3. I have a curse of phones. I can't turn my cell phone off - it just doesn't shut off ever (this can't be good for plane travel), and now my house phones which are new I might add keep telling me to register them who registers phones the manual doesn't mention it? What does it mean? So I busted out the old phone which the #1 doesn't work. so I guess I can't call any long distance or 911.
4. My neighbors Bob, Mrs. Bob and Eli moved out sunday. I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new Bob. - I'm assuming since there's only 2 bedrooms it must be just one person moving in.

The Return of the Weekly 4

I haven't been posting my lists like I should be and today while I was fixing lunch I thought of a topic for this weeks list. It's funny how things to blog about strike you at the weirdest times. Anyhow without further ago I give you the weekly 4.
4 things I love about working from home:

1. No dress code. - Quite literally I can wear whatever I want. I don't have to work that my monkey PJ bottoms don't match my volunteer t-shirt, or that my jeans are ripped and holey.
2. I don't have to sit at my desk. - Yes that's right I can sit where ever I feel like. Today I'm outside on the side porch yesterday I was working on the livingroom couch. Shoot I don't even really have to have a desk although I like to keep my expense reports in a central location so they reside on my desk.
3. Showers can occur at breaks or noon. - Seriously who doesn't like to roll out of bed and be at work? I relish these moments and if I didn't get up to workout I would likely get up at 7:59 (some days I do actually).
4. No commute. - From the vantage point of someone who hops over 10 states to commute this is fabulous. Yesterday when I was done I closed my laptop and went right to clipping the hedges no packing up, cleaning the desk, no red lights, no school buses, no traffic. Awesome.

Other favorites that didn't make the list, doing laundry during conference calls, listening to my radio supa loud, limited interruptions, and grilling out for lunch. Now don't get thinking it's all good; there are the downsides like lack of human interaction, not having a clue what they are talking about in a meeting, and you are always at work when you are home, and the like but it mostly rocks.

Happy Thrusday People from Someone working on her porch!

Weekly 4 - Love List to the Power of 4

1. I love some roaming gnomes.

2. Olympics - Swimming, Diving, Rowing, Gymnastics, Tennis, Handball, Soccer need I go on.

3. Dried apples from trader Joes. They look yuck but they taste yum. And look they look like olympic rings.

4. Back to School supplies. I'm thinking that I need some of these lovelies, or at the very least a new backpack to replace mine circa 1998.

Weekly 4 - Interesting Stats

We are 1/2 way through the year so I thought i would share a few stats.

I have

1. I have been on 62 different flights this year.
2. I spent 133 nights in hotels.
3. I have at least "stopped in" 10 different states.
4. Today is the 10th day in a row I have been home and this is the most days I've been home since 2007.

I love a Parade!

Even if it is just 7 fire trucks, 2 tractors, an antique car and a marching band. Liberty and and CC's parades are just that in fact the CC parade is the Liberty parade with a few more things. Too funny. I love that it never changes it's always exactly the same. I swear even the people in the parade are the same everytime. Anyhow you can't get the full effect unless you see the pics. I love it try not to be jealous!

Tractor #1

Firetruck #1
Fire Truck #2
Tractor #2
Look there's the band. Oh and my sister in it! (she's in the sunglasses - so serious)

fire truck #3 (I know this guy has driven a firetruck in at least 10 years of parades)

Fire Truck #4 Liberty does have a few fire trucks that wouldn't qualify for senior discounts.

Fire truck #5

Fire truck #6

Fire truck #7

Oh and not a firetruck but operated by the fire department it's the Dive Rescue Van! Woot Woot! And because I'm loving the 4th of July here's a weekly 4 to sum up my 4th of July weekend and because I love to write song titles I couldn't resist coming up with a few more:

1. Fireworks may have given me West Nile
2. Parade x 2
3. Catching some Zzz's
4. Patriotic Burnt Hot Dogs

4 Things that make a perfect Saturday!

This would be better with pictures but I'm not really wanting to remember where I put my purse when I came home.

1. Spending the morning with 6 of my favorite people.
2. Lunchs with Jayster
3. Naps
4. Knowing that I won't have to get on a plane for 2 whole weeks!

Weekly 4 - Fun Handmade Books

All week long I've been trying to think of what 4 things I would post on my blog. Of course I pretty much had nothing except I wanted to share pictures of something. Well then I was looking at something on esty and I discovered #1 below and it reminded me of #2-4 that
I had bookmarked way back when - so now I'm making my very own random paper book I even found some fun supplies for it at goodwill today :D, without further ado I will quit rambling and get on with the list...

1. Jamcia Edgell's Book - she sells them on esty click link to see more.

2. Emily Falconbridge's Book - read more about it here.

3. Ambers - see more here.

4. Jen Renee's - see more of it here.
I can't wait to work on mine although first I am planning to clean off my table.

Weekly 4

I'm a little late with the weekly 4. But some happening here seem to be perfect song titles for my rock band...

1. Ruby Stilettos Toe Nail Polish
2. Freon Kills Grass
3. Road Closed High Water
4. Tiger Print Fruit Bowls in Bachelor Pads

I could explain these further but I'm just too sleepy.

Weekly 4

Starting something new. Each week I'm going to have a weekly 4 I will post it any day of the week, and it will be about anything.

1. Craftfest! Took the day off today for a little crafting and just a break from work. I haven't started yet but I did get new fun book. 100 things to do with your sewing machine or some such non-sense. But now I've taken over the living room with my craft tables and supplies so let the crafting begin.
2. Moviefest! I also rented a bunch of movies as who doesn't love a moviefest with a craftfest. (That and Jay's working a double tonight so he won't be home until 5am). I'm also very excited that the Sex in the City Movie is out I asked Jay to take me and he wanted no part of it this weekend perhaps next weekend instead.
3. Home! Oh did I mention I'm home. In fact I moved out of my place in cambridge for the summer it's not very cost effective for me to live there if I won't be there but 3 -5 days a week and taking a few weeks off. My bags were super heavy and I crammed something like 100 things in them. But I got most of it home but I stashed some in my cube.
4. Flip Flops! It's offically flip flop season here it's 80 something outside and lovely! My flip flops have been out all year but I broke down and bought a different pair just for the official season opener - although I'm still in love with the $3 walgreens polka-dot special.
