Basically, I have no life. I do have 35 bugbites and possibly an unhealthy obsession with counting? Odd. I also have a TY Beanie Baby duck sitting on my windowsill. from a collection of junk On one of our walks Danica and I passed a house with a large pile of junk in the front yard next to a big piece of cardboard with the word "FREE" scribbled onto it.

And I covered a calender picture with photos and purple marker, so now I actually like it. This may continue in the months ahead. I actually bought a calender for next year with the sole intention of covering it in pictures. The ocean scenes will made a better background than the Olympic athletes in my current one, so I won't have to color over them in marker.

I added more to my bulletin board and now it's amazing. Click on it for the closeup! Some points of interest up there - it's like Eye Spy - my skelebando, three water balls from three years of Dan's birthday parties, UMASS Band Day sticker, a pinwheel, a peacock, a Lisa Frank sticker, my name, a cd, Danny Phantom, a four-leaf clover...yeah. Cool stuff. =)

Band camp tomorrow! Hope for sum.
