Kicked my ass
Yesterday I went to work with David ... he has 70 blinds to hang all in one day and I knew he would need help ... so I offered and he said yes ...
HOLY SHIT ... I am dying today ... we worked our asses off ... my back, arms, feet and hands are killing ... it was like doing 100 squats while holding 50 pounds ... opening boxes ... hammering the ends of blinds ... carrying them all around the office ... handing the blinds up to David ... it was some serious work ... I am so happy I went to help him because who knows when he would have finished if I weren't there ...
I will say this ... I have even more respect for David and the work he does after spending the day with him than I did before I spent the day working with him ... he is amazing ... he busts his ass every day ... and he is so good at his job ...
Anytime he needs help in the future I'll be there ... and any time he wants to take a nap after a job I'm not going to bug him ... because the is all I wanted yesterday afternoon ...

Packing Care Packages
Yesterday Marianne, David and I spent about 3 hours making up care packages to send to our troops ... and today Marianne and I repacked a couple of them ... weighed ... addressed ... filled out customs forms ... and added postage to 15 packages weighing a total of 200 pounds ... the soldiers should get them in about 2 weeks ...
it really felt so good putting them all together ... I had been thinking we didn't have that much stuff until we started making the packages ... then I realized we really had a lot of great stuff to send everyone ... and the boxes were awesome ...
I made mixed CDs for each ... 2 each of the 50's, 60's, 70's ... and an 80's a 90's and a holiday mix ... plus some homemade lip balm ... and then we had tons of books, magazines, catalogs, snacks, cards, toys ... they were just stuffed full ... it really was so awesome ... I am so glad we could do a bit for others ...
