Neighborhood sale

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Our neighborhood had a mega garage sale couple of weeks ago.  Our neighbor did ask us if we have anything to put up for sale, yes, we do but I did not feel like going through our basement and cleaning up our garage for that.  The neighbor directly across us had a few strollers and car seats put out for the sale.  I thought of bringing out the Christmas decor we acquired from our former neighbor in Apple Valley, but then I need to dig through the basement which is now a storage place for our junk.  Maybe the next neighborhood garage sale, we will bring our stuff out to our next door guy to try to sell them on our behalf.

Goofing off

Ms E and I were cleaning our filing cabinets this afternoon.  We have kept all the affirmative action plans for the entire company since 1986.  She and I do find these kind of “mou liew” stuff to do when we are bored of what we are doing, and especially when our bosses are not in.  Yes, we tend to slack off.  But at least going through the cabinets to get rid of the old plans to make room for the trophies our department has acquired through the years for excellence service and COE of the year.  We do work hard for these awards but we still have time to goof off a little to destress ourselves.

it was a hot one yesterday, at least to me, it is.  Needless to say, the boys don’t get their walks in.  I went outside in the evening to water the plants, I was sweating buckets.  Threw the frisbee for Cooper and Chase and both had their tougues hanging out within seconds.  Today’s temperature will be in the 90’s which means I will get home from work and sit inside til the sun sets.  I’m getting spoiled with the cool/cold weather.  Give me 30’s and 40’s in temperature I will take it.

 What I did yesterday afternoon?  Playing around with the features that came with the camera, Canon Powershot.  Surprised me, this camera does take good pictures.  Here, I took a picture of Cooper, laying on top of the vent with the air conditioning blasting at him.  Yeah, the boys know where to go to cool off.  They three favor that vent the most. 

This three pictures I was playing with the aperture and shutter modes without flash.
