Thursday 13


Thirteen Things LadyBug Is Thinking About Today


1. They put the first coat of polyeurethane on the floors yesterday. Did I mention that it is oil based? P.U. That stuff really has quite a scent... and I'm not talking floral... or fruity... or even citrus... I'm not sure what it smells like, but it doesn't smell good after the first 5 minutes... or the first 15 hours...

2. The floors look great!

3. That stuff really stinks! I think I might be getting looped on the stuff!

4. My stuff on Ebay seems to be doing quite well. I hope it all sells because LLB has found a bunch of back to school clothes that she really wants. Unless I sell her old stuff, I won't have budget for the new stuff.

5. I have to list a bunch more Hanna Andersson stuff this weekend. I have a ton - LLB grew out of all of it all at once. She has 3 or 4 things that still fit and that's it!

6. The one thing that I thought would go is a navy blue velvet jumper and white blouse set from the Wooden Soldier. It is absolutely stunning and I paid big $$ for it. Nobody wants it. I'm a little upset about that. LLB loved it - so did I! She got compliments every single time she wore it... I can't believe nobody wants it...

7. LLB and #1 Son are off to a birthday party this afternoon. It is a pool party. They are both really excited to be able to go.

8. Our pastor/priest/rector/minister (however you want to say it) is getting married on Saturday to a terrific guy. She called and asked #1 Son if he would be the crucifer. #1 Son was thrilled to be asked. He loves to be crucifer and Wow! What an honor to do it for her wedding. LLB is going to be an acolyte for the service as well.

9. I'm off to scrapbook with the ladies this morning. We are making a scrapbook for our Newcomer's Club. They wanted a scrapbook that would show all the activities that we've photographed since we started our group a couple of years ago. Fortunately, there aren't that many pictures!!

10. #1 Son came home from football camp a little upset yesterday. One of the high-school aged coaches (from a different team - not his team) called him names and told him he sucked. I am so upset I just want to go rip this kids lips off. How dare these teenaged thugs - who are supposed to be role models - treat the kids this way! #1 Son is there to learn how to play football not to be chastised because he doesn't know how.

11. We were watching So You Think You Can Dance last night on TV. #1 Son was amazed at the guys. He's considering taking the Hip Hop and Jazz class with LLB. She wants him to take that class with her so badly. We assured him that nobody would know and nobody would tease him. I'll let you know if he decides to do it.

12. We were looking for a Corgi to add to our family. I found a lady who has puppies due next week. Alas, she charges - gulp... $1000 for each puppy. That's a little bit - okay a whole lot - out of my price range. I think we are going to look for a $100 mutt at the shelter. They come spayed/neutered and with all their shots. If we do it right and pick the right dog, it might even come potty trained.

13. I think those fumes are really starting to get to me. The flooring guys will be back today to put the second coat on and then again tomorrow for the 3rd. I ought be totally zonked by Saturday!! I'm going to find Mr. Bug to make me some coffee. That might help me... Oh yeah... I don't normally drink coffee...

Ack, we polyurthaned our wooden floors 8 years ago...ourselves! Thankfully, I was pregnant so got to spend 3 or 4 days away, but I did all the sanding by myself. No fun at 7 months preggo! Especially wearing a mask. Thought I'd hyperventilate! We have a big living room.
You have a beautiful site!

Meg said...

Good luck with not getting high from the flooring!

I'm so glad I've found yet another fan of So You Think You Can Dance!

How do you like selling on eBay? I'm thinking of having a garage sale, but there are some really nice clothing items that I think should go for more money that the typical $2 at a yard sale. I've bought plenty on there, but never sold. Is it hard to get PayPal set up? Let me know...

Get some fresh air in there with all those fumes.....


I love scrapbooking too (just got a new toy this week).

I sell stuff on ebay as well but have never really had luck with clothes - hope it goes well for you!

I played too!

Katherine said...

Oooh, I love "So You Think You Can Dance". Poor husband groans in despair every time I watch it. Somehow he thinks just having it on will somehow make him gay. sigh. I love Benji and Heidi! I also think my husband is ready to cancel my ebay account! I buy too much stuff - but such good deals. Good luck selling yours.

Knitting Maniac said...

Oh I LOOOOVVEEE HA stuff! If I had a bajillion dollars, that is all my kids would wear!

Good thoughts for a Thursday!

Mine is up, too.

Ooh, new floors, I bet you are so happy and proud. Might need to get away from those fumes! Go scrapbook and have fun!

Have a great day, mine is up too...

I think that what you need is some FRESH AIR...some good ole' God's air will do...get out of the house and do it NOW!! WE want you back here blogging with us and not so high that you cannot find the computer!! WHEW!!
Great TT..Mine is up too. AGAIN, this week you get to learn about the number 13...Sandy

Unknown said...

I am so jealous of your scrapbook time :D

Meira{FB} said...

Think how wonderful the floor will be once the smell disapates.

Happy Thursday!

Lindsey said...

Don't get too high on the fumes ;-)! Happy TT!

polyeurethane does smell really bad, thankfully I have never had to use it inside a house. I usually apply it to furnature, which is outside...thank goodness.

I know how you feel about the high school student. My daughter plays LaCrosse and if anyone of the coaches or teachers ever spoke to my daughter that way I would not be stoppable.

My list is up

Lisa said...

Oh I can just imagine the smell. No thank you. It will all be worth it in the end though! Have a T13

Frances D said...

Your site looks great - I love that header.
You've got me inspired to try my hand at eBay.
I have so much unused stuff laying around.
Cheerio,
Frances
PS My 13 is up.

Renee Nefe said...

glad that blogger has finally cleared up...couldn't do much of anything yesterday and this morning.
get yourself out of the house before the fumes kill all your brain cells. hee hee
I looked at your outfit on ebay and unfortunately that isn't something that Darly likes to wear...she's pretty picky.
Thanks for stopping by my WW.

Susan said...

I can't stand the smell of the floor stuff..but love the result.

I have to say that the coach thing makes me a little cranky! They just don't think sometimes!!

I'm late, but my TT is up here. Have a GREAT day!!

Crazy MomCat said...

You're in a scrapbooking group? How FUN! I'm a cropper too and have a few friends who get together now and then, but I've never been in a big group like that.

I had rotten luck selling kids clothes on Ebay earlier this year. I had the cutest little baby dress with tags still on it and it didn't sell, but some of the other more plain stuff did. Go figure...

armywife said...

sounds like you've got some great things going on. good list!
