It was such a full day yesterday that by the time we got in I was way to tired to even think about writing about the day. As a matter of fact I didn't brush my teeth or wash my face before I went to bed!(For those in the know, this is huge.) So I will try and capture the day as best I can.
We arose somewhere around 8. We were presented with the to do list for the day. When all was said and done a lot got done. Its amazing how much can get accomplished with 5 people working on it. My job for the day was mowing the field! I learned how to use the tractor, and after a 3/4 turn around the field I was left to my own devices. It took me about an hour and a half to get the whole thing done. I had a great time. It was so....serene just isn't the right word...but there was a calming sense about it and theres a few really great shady spots under trees that you can stop and listen to the quiet. It is so quiet out here. After my chore was through I grabbed a shower and I had a delicious lunch of thai with shrimp and pineapple a combination favorite of the household. It was very delicious. Then spent the afternoon organizing all my stuff. I started with the clothes, because I figured that was the easiest place to start, actually that's the only thing I got organized, most of the rest of the stuff will wait until "dad" leaves on Saturday and I move into my room for the summer. It was divine how all my clothes, shoes, and bags fit perfectly into the closet. I'm talking picture perfect, I was so stocked, that mom had to come take a picture of it! I'm really liking that the dresser and closet are located in the bathroom, not the bedroom, because I get dressed in the bathroom. I will have a very hard time giving that up when I am gone, and the perfect closet. I can not express enough how amazingly perfect the closet is.
Then we headed off to Albuquerque for a meeting suggested by many Albuquerquians, and met our new friends there. It was indeed a good meeting. I met a friend of my Aunts(because I can't go anywhere without being "[her] niece"-stated with no resentment, and only amusement at the abundance of my aunts social network and the worldspan of it)! Then we went for ice cream and off to the bowling alley for some karaoke. It was a quiet night, so we were able to get 3 songs in. We may go back tonight for the karaoke contest. We came home tired from the day but not the same sheer exhaustion as the night before. It was a full day, but very different pace then my full days in "LA." Now that I embark upon my day I intend on going out and getting lost just to see what I can find!
She says her job was tractoring ~ so not true. Christopher the major boy scout of safety would never put anyone on a piece of equipment until it was overly safe to do so. Jessica has skills at six-speed pieces of equipment. She asked several times if she could tractor. Christopher gave in to work with her. What a good choice.
ReplyDeleteJessica took over my bathroom and dressing areas something I found interesting. I had spent time setting it up so that it was efficient and still pretty. She found all the ways to make that happen....... too cute.
I'm happy she is getting organized.
