670 - "on your bedside table"

Day 670 is a great theme. I have lots on my bedside table. Always an alarm clock, lamp, lip balm, hand lotion, nail file, note pad and pen (for all my late night notes) cell phone, ipad, to name a few. I have tried to go minimalist here but just cant. I find I just get into bed and need to fix a snagged nail, or my lips and hands are always dry or I have to write something down :-) The ipad has made a few others things possible in the comfort of our super comfy bed.. like reading my books with a  built in book light!

Today I was up early at 7 letting dogs out and making sure Britt was getting ready for the bus. Since I had the ipad I played a few games of candy crush and then skyped with Shaina. She is just over halfway done her tour group. She is finding it sure is not what it was hyped to be for the cost but again a lesson learned. She is enjoying the girls and the country though so all is good.

Mom had emailed her and Dad were on their way over with horses needing a manicure. I cleaned our bedroom and caught up on a few PVR episodes of Revenge. Last night the PVR machine started a fan at 3 am and eventually had to be unplugged to stop. I was worried it was turfed and all my recorded shows would be lost so best watch just in case it is having issues. The sinks needed a good cleaning anyway so good time to watch while cleaning.

Mom and Dad arrived at 11:30 with a Tims chai tea for me!! Thanks guys! I made a quick lunch for us and showed them my recent projects. Mom and I went out and she held horses while I trimmed them up. I had them on their way just before 2. They were stopping in town to visit Travis and Asher before heading home yet today.

I finally got my pizzelles made just as Sheldon and Britt got home. They are a family favorite and go like hot cakes..hahahaha. I also threw on a one pot chicken and rice for supper. It was nice to see Britt excited once home from school to load up her vanity, below is her making it her own look.

Craig stopped out at 6 to get an RRSP check and to visit and headed home at 8:30. Britt of course spent from after school until bedtime in the TV room other than eating and filling the vanity. Sheldon and I caught up on the season premier of Touch. Very glad it made it back, it is a good show.
