Friday Wrap-Up

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It's Friday!! It was a busy week here in the puckies

1. PTO meeting on Tuesday
2. Cam's youth group on Wednesday
3. Cam's first band concert last night (for those of you who don't know, Cam plays the oboe - this is his third year playing)
4. Tonight is the first middle school dance of the year

These are the kinds of days where you are up at 5AM and constantly on the move until 9PM. Now that I am old more life experienced, having a week of these starts taking it's toll. Worse yet, there is no rest for the wary. This weekend I must finish painting the sitting room. Hmmmm ... I do paint nekkid sometimes ... nekkidness, latex paint ... could be an HNT in the making!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Speaking of nekkidness, I don't know how some of you do it. Do what you ask? Visit all of the HNT-ers each week! I try, at a minimum, to get to everyone who leaves me a comment each week, but usually sometimes I come up short on that endeavor.

One of my blogging buddies is doing a bit of a fundraiser for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Yes, it's another of those "send me a pic of your boobies and I'll make a donation" kind of things. Not something I would normally promote, but G-man isn't the "stereotypical" blogger that makes these kinds of requests. You can see an encore of one of my HNT shots over there today, and he'll be doing one last tribute to the boobies next week. Anyone interested in participating can read about it [HERE]. I'd encourage all of you who are so inclined to stroll on over there and surprise the crap out of him with the sudden influx of contributors. Right now, he's at a $26 dollar donation ($2/image) - $26 measly dollars!! I'd like to see him have to make at least a $50 donation!! No nudity is required (or even expected) and he'll even post your pic anonymously if you'd like!

One last thing ...

I saw this over at Corky's Log and literally laughed out loud. Yeah ... yeah ... this is a pro-Obama video *gasp* but it really is, as Captain Corky put it, BRILLIANT! And during this time of mud slinging and name calling amongst bloggers and politicians alike, it's quite refreshing to see politics done in this way!

GACK! It's Monday, and I have nothing. No cute little Cam stories. No family drama that I am willing to share. No thought provoking posts on immigration, politics, public schools ... nothing!

I spent my weekend working on my sitting room ...

• I bagged all of the donations for Goodwill (6 LARGE trash bags) and dropped them off
• Went shopping for a desk and finally found one after visiting my 4th store, but also found a great desk chair and floor lamp
  
• Put the desk, chair and lamp together (about a 2 hour project in itself)
• Chose colors for the sitting room/master bedroom
• Primered the sitting room walls for paint (one of the downsides to new construction)

I feel like I was in a brawl. My body is not only sore, but beat up - literally. I've got a knuckle buster on one hand and bruises and scrapes from head to toe! What's worse is that I cannot tell you where most of them even came from.

I was perpetually busy and am looking forward to the work week so that I can relax a bit.

I did, however, steal this from Volly. What can I say? It's Monday and I don't feel like thinking ... but drawing with my mouse? Always a little mind numbing!

What does your drawing say about YOU?

The results of your analysis say:

• You tend to pursue many different activities simultaneously. When misfortune does happen, it doesn't actually dishearten you all that much.
• You are a thoughtful and cautious person. You like to think about your method, seeking to pursue your goal in the most effective way.
• You are creative, mentally active and industrious.
• You have a sunny, cheerful disposition.
