Today finished the trifecta of 3 Cobb salads this week. Only two scored the coveted chocolate chip cookie thought. Today I got the 5th place loser in a 2 cookie race, the oatmeal raisin cookie.

Nothing accomplished at home yesterday, but I did stop by Costco and ended up getting a big rolling wire storage rack for the garage which should be the final piece of big reorganization in there this weekend.

I'm sad that Sam has taken a leave of absence so I don't have my partner to share the same excitement in trash day. Out went the remains of the shed attacking tree and we have no remaining boxes full of packing materials.

Here I am! Like I was supposed to be using up scent samples (and forgot), I've been using some blades that have gone by the wayside. In organizing since the move, I ran across a container full of stuff I used to use before I found Wizamet. I'm reminded why I stick with Wizamet. With these Personnas, you need a good half a shave to knock off the burrs or whatever it is that happens to make it smooth. Just like the Nivea Deep, I'll see how long I'm willing to use what have become substandard blades before I just ditch the lot of them.

This weekend was productive. Some of our collections have just been sitting in boxes needing homes. So I started with putting up shelves for my wife's collection of the tiny Starbucks mugs from all over the place. Then a major undertaking was designing, measuring, calculating and executing a plan for getting some of her Mickey ears up on a wall. In the end there are 3 different sizes of shadow boxes covering a big section of the hallway and displaying only a small portion of her collection. I ended with getting a floor standing glass display case for my Disney Cruise Line collection. Ultimately this means I was able to clear out a few more boxes from the garage.

Yesterday was a leadership off-site, which had no Cobb salads, but did have mini bundt cakes. And today one of the cats was taken for her radiation therapy for her thyroid to be picked-up on Thursday. Sucks since they obviously have no idea why all this weird stuff is happening to them all of a sudden and she'll be away from her sister for the first time in almost 14 years.
