Procrastinator's 7 Quick Takes Fri -- err, Saturday

1.  Garage sale score this morning - a 4 x 7 (picture size) digital frame.  $15.

2.  Supposed to be getting a call from the private school administrator this afternoon sometime about what the schedule might look like for this year (I'm returning to teach a couple of classes).  See here to find out more about the type of school it is - a mix between private school and home school.  Worked there for seven years previously, and I feel pretty good about going back in.

3.  Also doing a class at a co-op.  Registration is Thursday.  We'll see how many I get to sign up.

4.  Patrick is excited about the beginning of August, b/c he knows that means school starts back up.  He's looking forward to it!

5.  Kiddos spent much of Thursday evening and Friday morning swimming at the in-laws' house.  I need to buy more sunblock for them - we're about out of what I bought at the beginning of the summer.  They've been over there swimming a lot.  In previous years, we always had some left over, but this year?  Already out.

6.  The kiddos give me a great excuse to enjoy winter-y and Christmas-y shows in the summer.  Hey, if they ask to watch "Thomas Christmas" (the Christmas themed DVD that we have of Thomas the Tank Engine episodes), well, I'm not going to tell them they have to wait until at least November to watch it.  I'll gleefully turn it on (and listen in myself). ;)

7.  We spent a few days without the internet this week - came back from a weekend trip (Fri. and Sat., actually) Saturday night to find our phone and internet out.  Turned out to be a blown fuse type of thinger in the outside box.  We thought our modem was dead too, but on a whim, the hubby tried a spare power cord that we happened to have, and presto - it worked.  So, with all of that done, we were back up and running Wednesday evening.  In the process, we rediscovered/refamiliarized ourselves with some offline games (mostly on my garage sale Mac, since the games were older) - it was cheesy fun to play Connections again.  Gotta love James Burke. :)
