Random Thoughts

Me, today.

1. We are having the most amazing weather!  It feels like the beginning of fall with low humidity, mornings in the 50's, blue sky and puffy clouds.  Wow.
2. I took myself on an afternoon drive today.  It was just too beautiful to stay home and do laundry!  Pictures to follow tomorrow.
3. With the wedding, college and high school over, we have officially moved into a huge life change around here.  I've been feeling sentimental but not at all sad.  The changes are happy and exciting!  I love how each stage of life is wonderful in it's own way.
4. I recently moved the boys computers to their bedroom where they each have a large desk area and room to spread out.  They had gravitated to a spare room where there was an extra TV and DVD player.  Well, the DVD player broke and since they can play them on their laptops, we decided not to replace it.  And the TV is an old, heavy box style...which I plan on taking to the curb. ha.  As a result, I have an empty room.  I have big plans to knock down a wall and expand the boys bathroom into the whole area.  But since we just finished paying for 4 years of college (without going into debt..yikes!), and a wedding, The Mister said I had to wait until next summer to do such a big project.  That's fine with me...it will give me a chance to dream on Pinterest and shop the auctions for great ideas and awesome trash finds. :)
5. I've also been walking past Taylor's empty room and thinking that it needs a fresh coat of paint and a new purpose.  Maybe a guest room, which we've never had!  This one I can start on right away. The funniest thing left in there is the ceiling, which is covered with pro basketball player posters and the circle of holes in the wall that was left when the dart board was removed.  Ah, the high school years! :)
6. The boys are still doing very well at summer day camp!  We've officially given our notice that they will not be attending any program at the high school (they could have continued after graduation until they are 22 years old), and have been lovingly accepted to remain at the facility where the summer camp is!  So, instead of camp ending on August 10th, it will continue on...for as many years as we wish, all year round! We've been happily surprised at how well the boys transitioned to this new place and how much we like it.  Wonderful!
7. Two high school girlfriends that I recently found on Facebook also had kids get married the same weekend Taylor did!  What a fun, serendipity thing!

OK, enough rambling from me!

What did you do today?
