lazy summer days....

For the kids anyway! Here they are lounging around in their sweats all day...
Actually, Jade has her college class tonight. She got all 4 assignments done for tonight's class. Then Stevie's parents are coming over to pick up Jade to spend the night. Then it's back to the lazy days of summer for her.
We finally tried the gluten-free waffle/pancake mix we got a while ago, and I got a thumbs up from everyone. It was kinda funny, Jeromy said his was a little mushy, so I tried again and Jade said hers was a little too crunchy, so I tried again and Kent said it was "Juuuuust riiiiight"!
In other news, Jeromy's been working on the order of 100 T-shirts for the church for the Parade in Port Orchard this weekend, I think the fair is called Fathoms of Fun. Anyway, there were some issues with the printing that was out of Jeromy's control. But with out going into a page long list of issues, he's making it work. For a little while there we were really concerned they may not get done... (the company that made the printer he JUST bought is crapping out, they are sending him a new one ASAP).
Anyway, Jeromy said it's thanks to God that he's getting them done. He had to tweak a few things, but he's getting them done! He's got about 15 done right now. Here's some pictures of the job... remember this is not his design, one of the guys in the church came up with it, and then Jeromy thru his sheer brilliance (ya, I love him) transfers/traces it onto the computer.
This shirt is the first one that has used up all 6 of his screens to make, super cool!
Here he pulls on of the screens down, and applies the color, then he swivels the contraption to the next screen and pulls it down to apply the next color, so you can see how multiple colors can add to the labor of the job.
And a cool video of Jeromy in action. And he's not in his PJ's this morning! HAHAHA
I'm baking cupcakes right now, we are having another potluck at work tonight. And since there are only 9 people in our crew (that's if everyone shows up) there'll be left over cup cakes for the family!
I've been having some issues with my hip again from running...
SUPER LAME!
So I am going to be doing alot of walking for a while to let it feel better, I want to be able to do the Whaling Days, I may have to do the 1 mile as opposed to the 4 miles, I'll have to see how my hip does. I also heard thru the grape vine that one of my favoritest aunts (I have 4 ya know) is thinking about doing the one mile with a bunch of us! I hope she does!!!
Also, I talked to a few people about the half marathon in November, and my co-worker Regie told me last years run it was snowing and people were running on ice.... so I thought to myself... "self, you hate being cold", so we thought maybe we should shoot for the summer 2010 half marathon, it looks like Seattle does it twice a year.
Have a great day!
