Laundry Monday

Today is laundry day for me. I think when I’m picking through a huge pile of dirty clothes on the ground in my room to see where my work pants are (they were on the hamper, btw) that it’s time to do laundry.
When we lived in the apartments, I got into the habit of “living” in my loungewear and washing clothes when we had the money and/or when my clothes were so nasty that I had no choice! Gross, I know…but times were hard and we didn’t always have money to do laundry and the machines weren’t great. Now we have our own washer and dryer, and actually we have had our own since living with my sister…so like 2 houses ago. I still don’t do laundry every week, but as needed. The hubbs does some of my laundry when he does his, which is just about daily….it’s the OCD.
Tonight we BBQ’d some sausages for dinner and ate outside on the deck. We had Razzle out there wearing a harness and a lead that was tied to the table. He really enjoys it outside and often tries to escape, so we sometimes take him out there. Well tonight that little shit went under the deck and got out of the harness!!! AHH!! So then it was like a wild goose chase to get him. He doesn’t have any claws and isn’t wearing a tag or collar!!! Ugh, we cannot leave him out there and we live WAY too close to a really busy intersection to not find him when he gets away from us like that! We were finally able to corner him behind the garage and we promptly put him back in the house. No more outside for him for a long while!!
Here are a few pictures of Razzle outside. My husband decided to “edge” the backyard and part of the front by hand today, so that’s the mess in the yard. And Onyx was on the other side of the stairs enjoying a nice marrow bone, that’s what Razzle is checking out when he’s on the stairs.
When he got out of the harness, my husband and I were joking that it was almost like he went under the deck a little bit to plan his escape. He’s a smart kitty and he does have thumbs (polydactyl) so I wouldn’t put it past him! LOL
Right now at work I’m listening to “Rogue” by Danielle Steele. I just started it today and it’s ok…nothing special yet. I am about to check it out on Amazon and get a plot overview and see what it’s all about. lol

New Blog Look!
Well, in my endless search for free scrappy things online, I ran across Sweet Scraps. Christie is the blog owner and she has the sweetest kit available for free! It’s called “Simply Adorable” and it really is just that!
The theme of her blog was made by Allie with one of her kits. It’s too cute, so I went and checked out Allie’s blog and she has other themes available and also directions on how to use them. I tried to use the kitty one but the background was a little dark for me, so I decided to make my own!
Why pears? Well, it’s a long running joke from when I worked in the grocery store. I’d smell the pear wrappers…they really smell like pears!! And it just escalated from there!
So now I collect pears. My kitchen and dining room “theme” is pears and I have pears everywhere in my house. Here are a couple photos of the kitchen and dining room.
Razzle…aka Yidda in the dining room window
Our baker’s rack and my pears!On a different note…I’m going to try to display one of my completed pages each day I blog and I’m going to try to blog everyday. I may not have a lot to say and who knows who’s reading, but isn’t that how it all starts? Someone reads one blog, something catches their eye and then they come back. That’s how I’ve found most of the blogs I read on a regular basis.
I’ll post the page a bit later, I need to make one today
