Still trying to Simplify~

I'm really trying to get getting rid of stuff, my friend
Pattie and I are having a garage sale (at her house,
this is her first)! She's really digging in and getting
rid of things!!! I'm very proud of her! I got rid of a
lot of my antique hoard a couple of years ago, but
still have a lot to go through and get rid of. I'm
taking lots to the thrift store too.

We're still trying to decide if the TV, is moving into
the living room and my craft room will share with
the gym. I guess we could call it the 'Sweat Shop'...
ok, maybe it would be nicer to call it the 'Work Room'...
What ever it's called, I still have to make a decision
what I want to do.

Quirky Meme!


Forgetfulone tagged me for this quirky meme!

Here are the rules.
Mention six quirky, yet boring, unspectacular details
about yourself. Tag six other bloggers by linking to them.
Go to each person's blog and leave a comment that lets them
know they've been tagged. If you participate, let the person
know who tagged you you've posted your quirks!

Here...we...go...!

1. We shop at Costco, and when I buy lettuce I usually
check several packages, before I'm convinced that
the expiration dates are usually all the same...

2. I have to have my toilet paper go 'over' the top...
if I ever find it going under, I'd have to change it...
(I've only changed it at one persons house) Diane, aren't
you glad we don't live next door to one another, hehe!?!?!?

3. This one is pretty neurotic...I work at a school and in
our classroom we have two colors of chairs, I make sure
every morning that all the student chairs are the same color...
and I take the other ones and put them at the computers,
reading tables, etc. The room looks messy to me otherwise!

4. When I buy something, (other than food) I never take
the front box.

5. I hate sitting in a room with my back towards the door.

6. You're going to think I'm nuts...but, I have lunch
with the same work friends everyday, and we all sit
in the same spots, sometimes we have a guest teacher,
(sub) and if they happen to sit in my usual chair, it
kind of throws me off...I would never ask them to move,
however, one of my work buds has nicely told the person
they were in my spot...

I tag the following people:

Randi at Musing's

I learned how to make a Wrap Bangle Bracelet!

I had a to-do list of things I wanted to learn or
do this summer and jewelry was on my list. I
took a class a few days ago and made this
bracelet, it's called a 'wrap bangel bracelet'!!!
I like how it turned out, (except for the clasp),
I hope to make more soon and I'll post
them too.
