Today was an extremely busy day that started this morning about 9:30 and is still going strong. Jimmy and I were supposed to be fishing a bass tournament today, but his clutch went out on his truck, so we didn't get to fish it. It's okay, I've gotten a lot accomplished today and Jimmy's making some extra cash working with his friend at his machine shop.

I still had a lot of stuff in the garage that was left over from the garage sale back in August. I know it's been there for awhile, and it would've been gone sooner, but Brittany and Scott asked if they could take it to the flea market to sell, but that never panned out. So, I horsed all that stuff into the back of the 4Runner and hauled it downtown to a little place called The Helping Hand. It's kind of like the Goodwill store in that you can donate and shop, too.

I dropped off my donation, then went in the store to take a quick look around. They had all their sweats on special, probably because it's still 80+ degrees here. You could get mix and match sweats, exercise clothes, sweaters and/or sweatshirts four for a dollar. I bought myself a pair of nice corduroy casual pants that looked new, a nice light blue Hanes sweatshirt and some under armor pants to wear when we go fishing. I bought Brittany a pair of track pants and a pair of stretchy dress pants, too. The total came up to a whopping $1.60. Cool!

I left there and ran by to pick up a few things from town, then back home to clean up some more. I took everything off the counters in the kitchen and scrubbed them down, dusted the den, living room and bedrooms, and cleaned out the fridge. The dryer went on the fritz on Tuesday, but Jimmy and I were too busy to do anything about it, plus we couldn't take it to the repair man because of his truck. So, Chris came by and helped me unhook the dryer and take it out to the garage. There was lint and about 3 bucks worth of change under it, so I cleaned that up and then took the dryer apart. It looked like the belt was bad to me, so I made the decision to get a new one as soon as Jimmy got home. Our laundry was so far behind - if I skip doing laundry for more than 2 days there's at least 3-4 loads to be washed.

I cut the grass and when Jimmy got home about 5, he broke out the weedeater and did the trimming. We washed up and went to Lowe's to pickup a dryer, then he and Bryant brought it home and hooked it up. I'm planning to wash and dry clothes til the wee hours of the morning, and by Sunday afternoon, I should be caught up and looking for stuff to wash. The new dryer doesn't seem to take as long to dry the clothes - especially towels and jeans, so I think even though we spent some money, we'll save on energy in the long run...

We did a lot more around the house, but I'm too pooped to post anymore...
