Since we're winding down our school year, (have I mentioned how happy I am about that lately?) I have a bit more free time. Which is a good thing, since I had to place a call to DSHS...
Since we were dealing with the government, I set it to Monster. Left it on the table. Made lunch. Ate lunch. Cleaned up the dishes and played some solitaire before a live body came on the phone. And told me she couldn't possibly answer my question. And gave me another 800 number to call.
These are the times that
That was not the happy part of the day. The happy part of the day involved a great deal of purging and organizing. Woo-hoo!
I didn't get any pics yet, so I'll post more tomorrow (when I can take them in daylight). In the meantime, here's a teaser...
... see the boy? He can stay. The thing he's holding? Not so much.
That is a salt dough model of the ocean floor that we made back in 2008. Not bad, yah?
That's a volcano erupting, at the top right. A river runs from a lake to the sea, top left. After the shallow continental shelf the sea-floor slopes down to a deep trench, then back up to the abyssal plain, with black smokers 'erupting', showing sea-floor spreading, and lastly an underwater mountain range.
Nice.
But a picture is so much easier to keep than the real thing!
And there's more... tomorrow.

Did you get a chance to use the monster voice?
HA HA HA! That's what I should have done!
Oh yeah! I could really use one of those voice changer thingies. Then I can just talk in my end nice and calm and feel virtuous but the body on the other end gets me growling. Love It!
Great that you are able to ditch some of the old projects. Storage is always a problem here but fortunately none of my kids have been horders (unlike daddy!)
I love the MacGyver contraption! That's great! And, I have been adopting the same mentality - pictures are definitely much easier to keep!
Maybe I should clarify...
the voice changer was on the phone just to amplify the sound, so I could HEAR when someone finally answered, without having the phone pressed to my ear for 47 minutes. *sigh*
I used my normal voice. That is, my normal I-am-really-ticked-off-by-your-incompetence voice.
Wow. What an excellent use of your son's wondrous 'toy'! Makes my elbow hurt just to think about being on hold for most of an hour (well, actually my elbow does hurt... from the paint I was NOT going to roll or spray today...) ;-)
Well done! ~ I'm eager to see more of your decluttering. I have a whole house to simplify before/as we move...
"..so I set it to monster." I started laughing out loud (during Peach's voice lesson. Good thing they're downstairs and I was upstairs). Great job on the cleaning and purging! I can hardly wait to get started here, but the gardens are still calling my name.
Blessings!
