Burning and Cleaning

Yesterday was our Sunday so we decided that we should tend to the little 20 feet of property we own behind our yard but can't put anything on because it is an access way for the power lines. We had some old shrubs and old pieces of wood, where these random pieces of 2x4 came from I have no idea, but they were there so they were included in the party. I took out one blackberry bush and decided that was enough work for me! But let me tell you it was enough work for me to put on my fancy boots! I really look for excuses to wear them, my husband hates them, my son thinks I am a cowboy when I wear them, but I love them! It reminds me of the days when I used to have horses and anything that brings back those memories makes me a happy camper!

Here are said boots that have my heart

And here is said fire, with said random wood. Did I mention my husband loves to pour diesel on the fire to get it going? Well here he is doing that

Today I decided to come home and clean up since I am going out of town with my mom and Billy The Kid to go visit my sister and her family who just moved a few hours away. I wanted to surprise my husband with a very clean, but very lonely house when he got home after we had left. And that is where it started.. sweeping, vacuuming, dishes, and then I went into the spare room in our house that my mother occupied for a couple years. I have had every intention of making that a giant walk in closet for me, but that hasn't happened. So I moved all the coats I was storing in that closet into the hall closet and moved all my shoes into the room. Then came the purses I hide in my sons closet.... What a mess! I realized that when I switch purses I dont take everything out of them, just the essentials and leave random things in there to be found quite a while later. Here is a little sample of the things I found in the purses, I threw away the garbage because I didnt think you wanted to see all of that.

I have no idea why I have 4 sunglass cases! But I do. Not sure where the roll of tape came from either. What you dont see is the checkbook that I swore up to that very moment that my husband lost months and months ago, all the while me telling him what a scatter brain he was. Oops! I am sure that he put it into one of these purses and then stored them away in the closet without my knowing! On the plus side, I think I got a couple dollars worth of change, though I had to pick it out of a crumbled cookie. 

Here is my closet when I was finished. Did I mention I have a slight obsession with shoes? Very small though. 

In case you do notice, I will just admit it now. Yes that is a shoe box with pictures of boobs on it. Once upon a time I put change and money in there for the boob job I have always wanted. But now the box is empty, I dont remember exactly what I spent it on, probably a pair of shoes, or a cheeseburger or two.
