  • Free Home Decor

    Hey. have a home party. Decorate your home for the price of serving snacks to your long suffering family and neighbors.

    Never mind that you finally coerce your husband into taking off the panels on the banisters to get the rest of that vile green carpet off.

    Or trim the hedges that someone promised you they'd do to save your tennis elbow.

    Or you finally get the patio power washed.

    Or you bake dozens of chocolate wafer cookies for your chocolate chip cream cheese ball because hey! You want to spend your money on snacks instead of  saving and getting FREE home decorating products?

    I'm so tired I could weep.

    Tomorrow I'll be glad for all the extras that are done.

    This week holds one afternoon of helping Rachel make craft samples for VBS in NYC.

    Then. Can you believe..... those SIL's have me going to a twelve hour crop on Friday.

    Have mercy.

    And I'm so thankful for AC in this blasted hot weather. Yes, it's hot! And that's for 30 years of guilt every time I say it's hot. A story for another day.

     

    ***update. A very profitable party. Worth every busy moment. And a houseful of ladies carrying on conversations in every corner, definitely fun.

    And at this late hour? Shannon and her friend just got in from the pool, Freeman and the others got back from eating Chinese. Snacking and giggling.

    Now someone come help me choose the FREE stuff.

    I too am ever so thankful for a/c. I wonder how in the world the pioneer women made it with not only not having a/c but having to cook on woodstoves and scrubbing clothers on washer boards and no electricity to run fans while the heat was so relentless.  I said today that if I lived in those days I would have shocked everyone by sitting in a creek and doing nothing on days like the past two we had. My car does not have a/c and even this morning while taking Karli to daycare I got so hot. At least I have my license now though and don't have to walk to work in the heat!

    Like Monica0874, I often think of the pioneer women here.  I could have been one in the San Francisco Bay Area where I was raised and temperatures are moderate; but NOT in hot, muggy & dusty, no forest Oklahoma! 

    And, considering the clay soil and how growing fruits and vegetables (other than jalapenos, squash, tomatoes, and August cantaloupe) is a mighty gift from God . . . I don't think I could have taken the heat and mud patties in my teeth amid my long skirts and slips.

    YUCK!!!  Talkin' sweaty and sticky, now!

    Glad the party was worth your effort!
