Girl Scout Camp!
We dropped the girls off at Girl Scout camp today. Maybe LuLu's "eew bug" screeches will be a bit more muted when she gets back LOL - Lisa

Congrats to the Heat
A belated FB congrats to the Miami Heat and the great Lebron James. A lot of people don't like the guy, but blah - I love him and here's hoping for a Three-Heat next year!

A Frustrating Update
You may remember that PNC cashed my mortgage check but applied it to the wrong account, then declared me in default and started hounding me. They admitted their error and took steps to correct it - they've moved the $ to my account & contacted teh credit bureau- but inexplicably they continue to harass me, as if one dept isn't talking to another. A sharp letter yesterday, a man *knocking on my door* today, all saying I have to call PNC to resolve my defaulted loan. Phone calls to PNC just end with them saying the problem is corrected. WTH?

A day with Team Slap
Nothing exciting today, but busy? Busy I have. For starters, we took Junie to her College for Kids class, then decided to dine at a local eatery called Hi-Fi. It's a kitchy place with art all over the walls, and Smiley had a blast during lunch playing "I Spy".
Me? I thought the food was overpriced and average (so overpriced Lisa & Smiley shared a lunch, and I abstained). In addition, a lot of the artwork on the walls had an anti-Christian bent - Pinnochio hanging on a crucifix for instance - and while they're entitled to their opinion it doesn't make it any more comfortable for me to give them my money.
We then crossed the street and perused a used bookstore, and if you know me you know that was a great half hour.
When we returned home Smiley and I went out for a jog, doubling back all the way to the restaurant we'd just left.
Once we picked up Junie from school we went to the laundrymat (our washer is kaput) where Smiley read me the book we'd bought him at the used place ("Kids ask How?") cover to cover :)
Junie did the project below for one of her classes. It's a tic-tac-toe board made of popsicle sticks that folds up accordian-fan style when you aren't playing. The ribbon you use to tie it doubles as a holder for the two different kinds of beads you use as markers.
What a neat project!
After that we ran several errands before returning home. Not an atypical day around here; Team Slap is nothing but busy!
