Monday was one of our quarterly Minimal Days at school so the junior high got out at 12:55 and I was able to leave at 1:30. Landon usually takes the bus home, but did his homework in the office while he waited for me this time.
We headed over to Sonic to grab drinks and then hit the highway to get to Michelle's house for our first Creative Friday in a long time (since Rebekah was here!). I'm way overdue to get my hair done, my roots and the grays are getting feisty, so I have an appointment for next Tuesday.
Landon and Lucas hadn't played together since the week of their birthdays in early August so they were very happy to get together!! Lucas finally got a haircut! It looks great...it's been a rough couple of years, ha.
Michelle had a variety of projects on the docket including some embroidery hoop art for Eva's walls involving these cute fabrics and buttons.
She also spent some quality time fighting her printer as she printed a bunch of stuff for General Conference kits and handouts for her Young Women. She recently was moved from YW Secretary to the counselor over the Beehives and I didn't even know about it!
I had some thank you notes and just because notes to write and it felt good to do them.
Max was gone at the beginning of our time together because he had his weekly Cello lesson, only this time he could drive himself there and back! Woohoo! He has 5 AP classes so he joined us at the table to work on his homework.
Eva created a "surprise" for her cute friend Eva's reward at the end of a treasure hunt she'd made.
Michelle loaned me a couple of books, this is always pleasing to me. I'm just bummed that my reading time in the cozy has been so drastically reduced because of my busy schedule!
P.S. Whitney went home from school with Madison.
**Have you sent any notes lately?
What are you reading?
Do you share books with anyone?**
Comment Window Tidbit: I slept straight through from 9:45-5:15 today, it was glorious!

Hooray for a good night's sleep.
I'm reading Fiery Vision a biography on John Brown the abolitionist. I enjoyed a Girl Named Zippy, though.
Feisty roots. What an apt description.
Books are frequently rotating in my world.
I love good night sleep! If only they could happen every night.
I haven't sent any notes lately, but it has worked out that I have been making a dinner for families in our ward every Monday for the last 4 weeks. Does that count?
I'm reading nothing right now. Sad.
I share books with certain people, ones I know who will bring them back.
what a fun day! I'm reading, or rather listening to "Caleb's Crossing", an interesting book, but the narrator is quite annoying--which is unfortunate. Also reading Loving Frank.
I need to start getting together with friends to create!! :)
I'm reading Dick Cheney's new book on my Kindle now. (I know, I know.)
My friend Ron is a huge reader (he reads over 100 books every year) but has a strict no borrow policy. He will lend me his but if he wants to read a book he buys it to keep in his home library. Work out for me at least. Most of my books I check out from the library.
I sent one of Luci's teachers a just because type of note today, thanking her for her kindness and for encouraging Luci so much.
Hurray for Creative Friday!
I have sent some really great good mail packages this past week!! sadly none to you.. so sorry. But 5 in total!! great huh?!
I am not reading anything unless you count the Williams sonoma catalog?
I share books with the blogger moms.
good sleep & teen agers who drive themselves & creative friday=
some of the best things in life.
I definitely love minimal days now!!
So glad you guys came. Thanks for using your windfall of time with us.
But these are some of the most horrifying photos of me ever to grace a blog. Just saying. Wow.
I just finished my book today and now I have to choose a new one, oh joy! I love sharing books with you, Michelle, and Jessie.
My evenings are a blur. So, reading causes me to fall asleep before I even read a whole page. "YIKES"
I just read Small Sacrifices, by Ann Rule. It is about Diane Downs, she shot her children. It is not the most uplifting book in the world. But made for an interesting read. It was suggested to me by someone dear.
Nothing compares to a good nights sleep. It really does make all the difference!!
I don't feel like I ever have time to read anymore. A page here and there....but it has been a long time since I have been able to just curl up and read!
Looks like a good day! You will have to tell me if you like a Girl named Zippy b/c that has been on a few lists but I have never read it.
I love how productive you guys are together!
I read A Girl Named Zippy a couple years ago and really liked it. Sweet and funny, all in one.
I recently re-read the Harry Potter series and loved it (again) but had such a hard time starting in on another book, after spending so much time in that world. But now I'm reading Wallace Stegner's Angle of Repose. (It seems you've mentioned on here before?) So far, I love it.
I don't even remember the last note I sent or wrote.
I'm reading The House at Riverton right now.
I share books with my mom and Becca. I call Jimmy our bookmobile... he transfers them back and forth weekly. I have a few of your books I need to return to you!
I thought that was a picture of Landon in a doctor's office... I was relieved to read it was your office.
