Bristol book
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Tuesday, August 6, 2013
The other day, we had been to McDonalds and they have that peel the sticker Monopoly game. Well we had won a Shutterfly photo book. After I told EO what it was, and how Lauren had made one of our trip to CA, he said I should do one up of our trip to Bristol. I didn't realize what a job it was to do. So yesterday, I put it together. It took me about 7 hours to do. I would have been done sooner, but I had some pages I needed to shuffle around. Thankfully, I already had all our photos loaded on that web site. That is my storage site so if the house ever burned down I could have new prints ordered. I tried to show it to him, so I could get his input on it, but he said he knew whatever I did he would like. WOW, seriously? So now that the book is done, I do hope he likes it. It is a 20 page hard cover book with about 180+ photos. If I had to pay for it, it would have cost $38. I was so worried that I was going to be charged something, but McDonalds sent me codes to enter for the book and for the shipping, so it was truly at no cost to me. I sure hope EO likes it. Being the trip was a gift from the kids and a surprise for EO, I had EO as the focal point, without being too obvious so that he wouldn't be self conscious about it.... i hope he likes it.
So, after doing that huge project and having been up the whole day, my back was killing me. I am extra tired today. Which I knew was going to happen after yesterday. But that is ok, it was for EO. However, my digestive track is not happy with me today. Actually it started giving me grief last night. At least I slept like a rock, well, I over slept this morning. I don't like getting up after 9. I would prefer to wake up around 8. I know a lot of people who get up far earlier than that...ok i know a lot of people who get up far later than that.
This years weather is sooooo odd. What is going on, that we have high temps of 68 in the end of July and beginning of August? It is almost noon and it is only 67 out right now. I wonder what this will mean for our winter. Normally July & August, have 70 at night. So this is just... crazy. A sign of the times?
I really like the beds too...
