Feeling inspired

I am beginning to see a pattern in my blogging. It seems to happen once weekly and when I am needing to procrastinate. I have just recently returned from the grocery store where I feel I spent too much money and quite possibly on things we really don't need. Well, what to say. I stayed away from my two current favorite stores today, so I think that is some progress.

I hope that people are reading and enjoying the blog. Please make comments if you like, there is a little icon at the end of each post and you can comment. You don't have to be a blogger to do so.

I am still in the process of cleaning and organizing. It has been on my list for over 3 weeks to work on the garage, but alas, there the mess still sits. One day I will get to it, perhaps when I am on vacation in 4 weeks.

I had a lovely visit with Gilaine last evening. Gilaine is my former co-worker at Mala and I miss working with her. We met for greek food at Bravo in Duncan and shared some stories. It was great talking with her and catching up on what is going on at the Cowichan campus and catching her up on my job. She is heading off to Turkey for a month in a few weeks, so I wish her a safe trip and to take lots of pictures!

I will be looking at two new places/condos on Monday after work, but am feeling that my heart is still at the place in Sooke. I just don't want to close any options, just in case.

I am hoping to make some gingersnaps this weekend, as long as it doesn't get too hot. I really don't like have the oven on during the hot weather. My gingersnaps aren't the hard ones, but they are a little firm on the outside but super soft on the inside. Yum. Hmm, maybe I will get to making some, haha.

Geoff cleaned the bathrooms before heading off to work, so that leaves me with the kitchen, livingroom, diningroom and laundry. Not too bad and I think I can handle it :) Geoff is finding it a bit hard this semester as he is taking three regular classes, one independent study and one audit class, plus working 4 shifts a week. He thinks he may be losing two of his shifts because the person he is taking over for is coming back the middle of October. I think we are both really looking forward to December when he is done school and he can possibly quit working at his current job. He really is not liking working for this company. If we move to the Victoria area, he can find quite a bit of work in his field, possibly even with his degree. Wouldn't that be nice. He is playing around with the idea to go to UVIC to get his master's, but online is not out just yet. Guess we just wait and see.

Well, I should get at putting things away. Until the next post....

Ah, yes the Saturday posts!!! I know, that can easily become a pattern ... my friend Joy really called me out on that once and it was after I finally went back to full time work again after 4 years! Made me realize I certainly shouldn't criticize others for not keeping up with their blogs/emails either! Life is busy for alot of us.

Glad to hear you're cleaning and organizing and getting rid of stuff! - my favorite thing to do ... the getting rid of stuff. And what a man Geoff is for doing the bathroom - I could say the same ... Sam mostly often is the one who cleans ours. You know you've married well when ... :)

Here's hoping you have a happy, productive rest of the weekend - and yes, make up those soft centered gingersnaps, delish! Your bathroom-cleaning husband will be so happy.
