mac had a friend over from church and then two boys from the neighborhood were over. Four 9 year-old boys and we only had tears once (mac, of course), but no physical fights and no one left mad! OMG I want to dance and sing. They played for HOURS.
I working in the yard. Put mulch on the new flowerbed I made (I need to take pictures), laid out bricks for the next one I am making, planted two yucca and moved a shrub, then dug up vines and small trees and shrubs that are starting in another flowerbed. SO MANY ROOTS. I now have an over 2 foot deep and 3 foot wide hole trying to get out some thing that is growing that I do not want. I took pics of its leaves so you all can identify it for me. Gotta load them to flickr.

msbelle, evil plants and all, I'm so glad to hear about your gardening. Clearly it feeds a need.
ION, I bought $30 worth of vintage dresses at an estate sale this morning, which at $1 each translates to a LOT of dresses.
Whoo, good score, Holli! Heeeeey, you're doing a lot of thrifting for starting your store, yes? I may send you a photo of a particular pair of boots and ask you to idly keep an eye out for them.
We had an uneventful day until Olivia got mad and threw a toy at me. She's now enjoying an early bed time alone in her room with no story.
Holli, would be interested in taking some vintage items in on consignment?
Yay for a good mac day!
Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I've had a normal Sunday, but productive. I went grocery shopping, cooked for the week and hemmed 2 pairs of pants. Birthday celebration is coming this Saturday. I'm going out for Greek food and then to see Billy Elliott.
For John Stewart fans, here's an hour-long video of him being interviewed by Rachel Maddow. Also for Rachel Maddow fans, it has her interviewing John Stewart.

Sounds like a very good Sunday, msbelle.
I had an usual name for the time (it's far more common now than it was when I was a girl) but wasn't ever teased for it. I was given a lot of nicknames, but other than the kid who called me "Norway" everyone meant them kindly. And as for the Norway guy, I could never figure out why I was supposed to feel insulted.
Now last name is another thing, everyone made fun of our last name, but there I had 3 comrades-in-arms.
