Wanna know how Jake is paying his college tuition?Jay hits the golf balls and . . .
for each one Jake caught, his Dad gave him $25.00!

While these two goofballs where having their fun,
I was having mine!
Painting the ugly duckling chair!

I am loving it!

Almost done, but
we are going to watch a movie now,
So Monday I will have a date with this chair!

P.S. Had a great overnighter with Spencer!
He says the funniest things!
When I washed his hair,
He wanted to know if it was Biolage!

I asked him if I could take his picture!
I told him I would send it to his Mom and Dad.
I asked him if he knew where his Mom and Dad were?
He said George! (St. George)
I said yup, they are in George.
He said, George Lopez?
Aahh - he is so funny!

I drove all the way across town to use my 40% off coupon at Joannes.

Forgot the coupon!

The girl in front of me asked the lady cutting fabric if she could use her email coupon off her phone?

"No,"the worker said, "we need the bar code."

"Do you have any coupons I could use," the girl asked?

"I am sorry we don't." the worker said.

I am next, and I say, "I forgot my coupon too, but I am buying this fabric anyway."

The worker walks over and picks up a flyer that has a 50% off coupon and hands it to me.

"Most people don't know these are here, but I give them out freely!"

WHAT?????

I am glad I am the one she gave it to, freely!

The fabric with the coupon - $15.00
The Ugly duckling bought at the Salvation Army for $14.99

Wish me luck!

I am loving White!!

DIY magnetic chalkboard

DIY
I am a little bit embarrassed - I had to google DIY it see what it meant!

$5.00 pictures from D.I.

LOVE the detail of the frame!

Perfect!!!

I painted right over the glass with Magnetic paint - it took a couple of coats!

Then the chalk board paint over that - it also took a couple of coats!

To finish it off, you take a piece of chalk and rub it over the entire thing, rub it off with a paper towel, and it is ready to go!!!!

I bought everything at Home Depot and I have enough supplies to make 25 more - so I will!!!

SMART COOKIE

In his late 20s, Benjamin Franklin listed THIRTEEN VIRTUES that he felt were important guides for living.

Pretty smart cookie for 20 something!

I have been thinking a lot about this. I sometimes get side tracked in the world - of things! I am a little obsessive when I Love something (like painting furniture). So to keep a balance I am trying to spend as much time on good things ( not that painting furniture isn't good) or should I say the important things.

I have made my own list of 13 virtues (added to or stole Ben's ideas, they are good)

Here are his:

PERSONAL

TEMPERANCE: Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.
ORDER: Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
RESOLUTION: Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.
FRUGALITY: Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.
MODERATION: Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.
INDUSTRY: Lose no time; be always employed in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.
CLEANLINESS: Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes, or habitation.
TRANQUILITY: Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.

SOCIAL

SILENCE: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.
SINCERITY: Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.
JUSTICE: Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.
CHASTITY: Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.
HUMILITY: Imitate Jesus and Socrates.

Some kind of guy!

At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict, or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child or a parent - Barbara Bush

Jay and I played cards with these two tonight - Hand & Foot - and it was fun! Jake is still rocking from his cruise and he kept saying,"some kind of guy," over and over! What is this all about you ask - I don't know either! I think it is like when you get a song stuck in your head and you keep singing it. I hope a good nights sleep clears his mind and mine too! I am sitting here saying over and over, "some kind of guy."
