Happy Folding

I'm very happy that I have (finally) bought a paper folder. This puppy can fold 4,000 sheets in an hour! The unfortunate part is that folders do not come cheap. I think the time it will save me is significant though so it's a good investment. The other good news is that the folder cannot fold glossy paper so the cost of my paper will go down. Since I now don't have to use the bybass try to print (gloss only feeds through it) my print time will decrease dramatically because I can use the duplexing unit from the standard tray! Yeaaah! The standard tray can accommodate up to 500 sheets whereas the bypass only about 100 sheets and then I would have to turn them all over and do the other side as well. I think the newsletter production will be much easier now. Wheee!

It was fantastic to see Moo & Co. this weekend and very cool to play Risk (Mike actually suggested we go buy the board and play one on one..ha, ha) and Scene both of which were new games to me.

You know it's bad when..

blogger asks for you logon information. Where has the month gone? It's just crazy. I had such an amazing time with the family in Rochester. It was one of the best trips that I've had with them. The whole family is just so much fun to be with. I wish we all lived closer to each other.

This is week 2 of only wathching TV on the weekends. It's different but allows for more time to do other things. What I'm not sure. Mainly work which is fine because Mike and I are trying to implement a one day off a week routine! It sounds so weird. Don't get me wrong, there are days I don't work but not really. It's strange but true. There may be a Sunday where work gets cancelled by rain, or there may be a day when something happens outside of the home that takes me away from work. Since Mike is now at home as well it's the first time in a really, really long time we can actually plan a day off together where neither of us will be working. What we have discovered from last week's day off is that we just land up doing house errands. If this is what it will be like then maybe I don't need a day off after all.
