brain dumping monday

1. i finally got mike to give in and say we can sell the caddy. the having no car payments for a while really was the deal maker. {the money for car payments will go toward the pool payments, hopefully this spring}

2. having a teenage son who can drive has made for an exciting year. he got another run-in with the law last night. an off duty officer was taking a walk around his neighborhood and saw a sheriff's hat in ham's car and reported it.

3. talk about irresponsibility on the sheriff's department. they said stuff, even guns, get stolen from their cars all the time. and the on duty officer admitted that hats' fly out or can be left behind {which was the situation in our case. we got the story later from one of ham's friends}

4. we didn't return it to our local sheriff's department because we didn't know it was a real sheriff's hat. thought it was a gag hat or halloween custom. the on duty officer remembered ham from his previous run-in and said ham's not making very good choices. not good for ham. so i had to tell ham to keep a low profile for awhile. they will stop him for anything and everything especially if they see him as a "trouble maker".

5. need to start making wiser choices on grocery shopping. been slacking on what i'm buying and how much i'm spending.

6. birthday dinner party was a lot of fun saturday evening. food was delicious and kaylee was well behaved for her "sitter". over stayed once again when we went to pick her up.

7. decided to throw a girls only party the day mike leaves for miami. show him! ha! we don't need stink'n miami.

8. not doing very well on working out lately. guess bribing myself the j.crew pants isn't enough motivation.

9. speaking of no motivation- i had it saturday to make my own tomato sauce to freeze but was super busy and didn't have the time, sunday was just another ho hum i don't feel like doing anything day for me.

10. going to copy cat from another blog and start calling these posts "brain dumps" because that's basically what it is. though its not a full copy because i added the day of the week to mine.
