Weekend Wrap-Up

Worst part of the weekend: not being able to celebrate Father's Day with Todd as a Daddy.

Best part of the weekend: going to my niece & nephew's birthday party.

Most random part of the weekend: shopping! We bought a new headboard (pics coming), rockers for the front porch, and other stuff we don't desperately need and can't really afford. :)

People I saw this weekend: Todd, Mom & Rick, Michael, Danielle, Aeva & Will, some of Danielle's family, Dad & Marilynn

Something I wished I did this weekend that I didn't get around to doing: hitting the garage sales to find a chest of drawers to go in my closet.

Things that I am looking forward to this week: midday mimosas with friends, scrapbooking, seeing friends & family, hopefully swimming

Things that I am not looking forward to this week: the heat! It's so freaking hot here right now. Temps are expected to be 100+ all week.

Another Reason I Love Him

I KNOW . . . I have so much blogging to catch up on here, but I had to post this photo. It makes me laugh like crazy. (Todd can kill me later if he ever reads this blog.)

Here is my amazing husband this morning, donning a piece of the pinata destroyed at my niece & nephew's birthday party this morning.

See why I love him? :)

Friday Fill-Ins

1. All children alarm their parents, if only because you are forever expecting normalcy.

2. Show me a good loser and I will show you a person of character.

3. A day of peace is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs at one time.

4. Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy bitching and complaining.

5. I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine texture and patterns.

6. It is impossible to think of any good meal, no matter how plain or elegant, without garlic or bread in it.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to hanging out, tomorrow my plans include a morning at the Sprayground for Aeva & Will's birthday party, resting, calling Courtney to wish her a Happy Birthday and Sunday, I want to see and talk to my Dad & Stepdad!

WHAT AN AWESOME WEEKEND!!!!!

Worst part of the weekend: lack of sleep

Best part of the weekend: everything -- having family and friends stay with us, getting my first pedicure, successfully pulling off a surprise 40th birthday for Todd!, going to the "sprayground", seeing so many people, good food & drink, and everything else!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Yo faithful readers!!! I still have lots & lots & lots to catch up on here, but now that school is out I need some time to decompress. It's hard to find the energy to do anything right now. Don't worry . . . soon you'll be sick of all my blog writing!

Worst part of the weekend: Feeling stressed in final preparations for Mary's memorial celebration on Sunday, worrying about my mom & other family members as we continue to grieve

Best part of the weekend: Seeing family and friends, special moments shared with a handful of different family members

Most random part of the weekend: Riding go carts with my grandfather, uncle, aunt, cousin & stepdad - what a blast!

People I saw this weekend: WAY too many to name, but lots & lots of family - some of whom I haven't seen in probably 25 years

Something I wished I did this weekend that I didn't get around to doing: going to the grocery store, getting some desperately needed down time

Things that I am looking forward to this week: catching up on sleep, surprising Todd :), spending the coming weekend with lots of family and friends

Things that I am not looking forward to this week: taking my car in to be appraised, dealing with insurance crap, medical bills, auto repair, claims, rental cars, & such (Did I mention I got rear-ended on the 1st? Yeah, not fun.)

Friday Fill-Ins

1. It's summer break now, and I am home.

2. My favorite thing for dinner lately has been anything I don't cook.

3. My name is Pippin and I like to bark! bark! bark!

4. A nice long walk with three dogs can be very difficult.

5. I'm tired of everyone asking when I'll be sharing some good news.

6. When all is said and done, it's how to treat others that counts.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sleeping, tomorrow my plans include picking up the house before family gets in town, going by my mom's for a while, finish stuff for Sunday and Sunday, I want to sleep in a bit, have Mary's memorial celebration, and spend time with family.
