Outside Temp: 33 F (it was 20 degrees this morning, and got up to 61! Almost no wind and absolutely beautiful!)
What I cooked today:
Nothing: Grandma cooked dinner for us, so I didn't have to cook! Woo hoo!
Update:
We spent most of the day at the grandparents house, helping to build the greenhouse. The concrete is ready, and this was one of the first days with no wind or rain or snow.
We got the rafters up (all 10 of them) and it looks great. I can't wait to see it with the panels on!
I also got a chance to do some housekeeping. I have a closet, that I just kind of tossed stuff into when we moved in (a year ago!). It's been mostly useless. So, I decided today that my one project for the day was to clean out the closet. (I had bought a stockpile of toilet paper online this week, and the four boxes were filling up my entryway).
In the closet, I found: 3 old laptops (that don't turn on), 2 briefcases, a tub full of electronic parts, 5 hard drives (which may just have some old pictures or something important on them), an old ceramic candle holder (which I intended to give as a Christmas present about 3 years ago), a coffee maker (I think it came with the house) and a box of linens (ahhh, that's where all my hand towels are!).
I now have a cleared out closet, with shelves (the shelves were in the closet, just waiting to be put together), and nice boxes for all my stuff. I have plenty of space for my stockpile, although I did keep the old laptops. Not really sure why...

August 17, 2012
Outside Temp: 55 F (it was in the mid 80's today, and around 40 this morning... with frosted windows and everything!)
What I cooked today:
Nothing, again. We had a family dinner out tonight... I'm sure I'll be back to cooking soon!
Update:
Day 5 of USPS training... Today was my last day in Great Falls, thank goodness! The training wasn't bad, but I really didn't enjoy the drive in, or the hours and hours of sitting. Tomorrow, I get to do some on the job training, which I'm sure will be much more interesting!
Grandpa broke ground on the new greenhouses, and there is now a big hole on his property. I'm not entirely sure of the entire design, but there is something about water under rocks under ground, which will be used to regulate the temperature. I'm really looking forward to seeing it get put together!
Patrick and I went into town this evening with 3 of the 4 kids, for dinner. Allen didn't really want to come with us, so he stayed home. The rest of us had some good family time. Connor asked me if I would be doing the 7:15am until 6pm every day with the USPS. I laughed and told him this was just the training week. Our post office is only open until 1:30 anyway, and it's only a block away, so my hours will be much better, on those days that I actually work. He seemed so relieved, and said "Good, because if you had to do this every day, I'd ask you to quit." Hehehe. That's my boy, looking out for me!
