Today was an organization day. No, not for myself but for my Red Hat Queen, Judithmary. She needed me to come over and help her sort through a bunch of Red Hat stuff she bought off of eBay. A lot of it was going into our chapter's auction we will have sometime in the future, and some of it she was going to keep. There was a lot of hats, gloves, jewelry, material and trims. There was even pantalooms, one for Judithmary and one for Joanne, our Vice Queen.
Judithmary picked me up about 11 and took me back to her house where we worked for a couple of hours. We got everything unpacked, straightened out some organization drawers and trays, and rearranged some fabrics. Joanne came over and coveted some of the fabric Judithmary had gotten in so she offered to buy it from her if it would fit her window at home. Judithmary also makes Red Hat dolls and Joanne had bought one of them, then took another to show off to another Red Hat chapter in another state that she was going out to visit.
Judithmary took me home and I iced my ankle for a long time, it was sore from getting up and down and standing so much. So while I was eating leftover orange chicken and rice for lunch, I had my leg up on the chair next to me with an ice pack on my ankle.
While I was sitting upstairs, I heard a truck pull up next door and went to the window and looked out, we have new neighbors moving in! I threw on some shoes and went over to meet them. They literally just pulled up and we just starting to unload the pick up. Dave and Soong Jung and their two children. Dave is a disabled vet who is a motivational speaker. He and Soong Jung manage their own investments and just moved in the area from out of state and want to find a horse farm to buy. So while they are looking for that, they are doing a month to month rental next door. Dave and I spent a little time talking and getting to know each other while the kids and wife started unloading. They must have only seen the house online because they had to find a code for the door to get the key. I exchanged phone numbers and let them get on with their day. When I got home, I called our other neighbor, Janice, and filled her in on the new neighbors.
I have high hopes for this weekend, there are several things I would like to accomplish. Tomorrow, Saturday, hubby and I are going to buy the parts to fix the Saturn, the radiator and the hoses. Then we are also going to buy the coolant for the Saturn and for Elroy, my Chevy C10 pick up that has been waiting to be put back together. And I am hoping we get that done here this weekend. Then I have to call AAA and have them come out and inflate my tire. Or take me to Big O Tires and have them fix the flat. Or they will tell me I need a new tire and tell me how much it will cost. That is what I need to know for the beginning of the month. Today I called the insurance company, Amica, and changed the insurance on Elroy from parked to road worthy on Monday. It will raise our rates about $35. That means we will be paying $180 a month for liability coverage for two old cars but that is after I had 3 accidents in the past year. So I will have to pay high rates for quite a while.
This weekend I also will be working on the craft room to get it organized. Hubby and I will have to entertain ourselves at home and the library until the end of the month because we are out of money. This weekend I need to add up all our payday loans, the tax bills and the money we owe to medical. Medical wants us to send them a copy of the bankruptcy (The Big B) discharge paperwork so we can figure out what all we currently owe and they can write off the rest.
Tonight hubby and I got frisky in the kitchen, he really loved the dress I was wearing, and the fact I was cooking Beef Stroganoff when he walked in! The man is a true romantic!
