DH and I went out of town for the weekend.  Drove up to Cincinnati and got a hotel room.  We visitied Jungle Jims and the Hollywood Casino up there.  I won, I lost, I won, I lost and came out losing overall.  We did some shopping.  I read a book.  We went out to eat a couple of times.  I’ll be glad when winter is over.  Seems like all we do is soak up the free hotel rooms and visit casinos.  Really…I’ve got to find a new hobby.

I’ve also got to stay in touch more with my chicklets.  I log on most mornings, do a quick post and then hit the door running.  Today, I have a lunch meeting with the National Honor Society kids, followed by a staff meeting after school and then a meeting with the Junior National Honor Society selection committee after that.  I should be getting in around 5:00. 

I’m still trying to do something good for myself everyday.  Even though some of those good things may seem a little strange.  Yesterday, for instance, I cleaned up a ton of DH clutter.  Cleaned out a box he put in the closet, got his tools out of my kitchen drawers, and cleaned out a box of clutter he’d stashed in a corner of the bedroom.  Spools of thread, loose change, bandaids, pens and pencils, old ads, socks, etc.  He just scoops it all up, puts it in a box or drawer and considers everything cleaned up.  I got a great deal of satisfaction from sorting everything and putting it where it goes.  Even found some “man thing” a gizmo for checking some connection on the car that he meant to return with the receipt in the bag.  Stashed under the bed.  $39.99 that could be in our pockets instead of under the bed.  I started a “stash” of loose change in a decorative box on my nightstand.  Came up with $11.43 in the bottom of the boxes, in the drawers and in my old purses.  I’m going to return the car thing and add the $39.99 to my stash, too.  It may have been DH’s when he bought it but I’m collecting a “finder’s fee”.

It’s that time already…gotta get this day moving.
