WE has discovered a can of WD-40 and is now oiling everything in sight.  Our door hinges, desk drawers, skateboard wheels and anything else unable to get out of his way is getting a heaving coating of oil.  He just WD-40'd the dog, I kid you not.  Ol' Jake's arthritis shouldn't be giving him any problems for a while.

I had a coffee date with a friend today.  She's the one I usually have my Tuesday coffee meets with, but we've both been gone lately and haven't met up since the beginning of June, so we decided we'd better get our Starbucks while we can.  We met up at 8:30, got to gabbing and finally left Starbucks at 11:45.  Hey, we had a lot to catch up on.

I've decided we've got too much stuff in our house.  I'm happiest when I have a minimal amount of stuff.  I'm going to craigs list some furniture that is just taking up space here.  I'm going to package up books and see if I can sell them off to the book resale place.  I"m also thinking of dismantling our photo albums and just puting the pictures in boxes labeled with the years.  We practically never look at the albums, but they're taking up a lot of bookshelf space.  I'd much rather find a place to store a couple boxes than a dozen photo albums.  Thank goodness we're not the kind of people who take tons of pictures, or I'd really have a job in front of me.  But, those tasks are for next week.  Tomorrow, I'm focusing on going to the beach with a bunch of friends and having a 4th of July party.
