"friday light"

aeonium.in.bloom

just a quick post to wish all a lovely (read slow) weekend!

we don't have too much on our plates. we did come home yesterday with a large trachemys scripta elegans in need of a home (found on the field adjoining the girls' preschool) so will be contacting turtle rescue for her and taking in the local turtle and tortoise show as well. since we are still thinking of adopting a tortoise. (hmmm... are we "that family" that you can always hand a stray to? i guess so... not so bad really! the big bug has named her Giselle! doesn't she go mad? anyway...)

and i plan on attempting some serious thrifting with this good friend - sans kiddies! whoo hoo!

and i must make a trip to the post office!

and i'd like to do some sewing, and try my hand at those freezer paper stencils. but we will see...

enjoy!

(is "friday light" an L.A. term? or is it used in reference to traffic in other places?? i'd never heard it before i moved here. but then again, i never drove a car much before i moved here!)

Have a lovely weekend! Wow, adopting a tortoise...that's a new one! Hope you find some treasures while thrifting!

don't be afraid to plan things-- it's always nice to have a plan and then be flexible enough to scrap it! We usually have a list of maybes and then a couple have-tos... the housework is usually the first to go.

hopefully your weekend will be full of sweetness and light.

have a wonderful weekend. that plant is beautiful, and the term friday light, i've never heard....must be L.A.
it sounds like your house of adopted animals is starting to sound a little like mine...(maybe you need a barn!!) :)

and you are right melissa. i do love lists! (and delegating housework to the bottom of them!)

i would LOVE a barn Molly. maybe someday...
