Amazing, isn't it? I'm actually posting! I realy have SO much to post, but not enough time to do it right now, as I am currently working on my taxes. Yes, my taxes. Finally...going to get those stupid things done! I swear, it seems the government can waste more time in having people do needless paper work. I'd rather pay a higher state/county tax than do income tax!!

Well, Syd's been at Sea World with my sister and her family for a few days. She just got home today, and it is so nice to have her back in the house. Bo has missed her, so the two of them have essentially been playing together all afternoon.

Totally psyched up about the scrapbook crop on the 8th. Can't wait to see you girls! Promise I will be there, but I won't promise I will have something to work on, as I have been SO busy with my job. I swear, it seems that all I have been doing recently is working...posting insurance payments. Ugh! Numbers, numbers, and more numbers.

Actually had to attend a billing meeting this past Saturday. Gone from 7 am to 6 pm just at the meeting. Luckily, it was in Orlando! Since mom works in billing with me, we just took a separate car from the rest of the girls and went to eat authentic, wonderful Chinese food afterwards. And, did I mention we went to IKEA? I love that store! Also, we made a detour to Target to pick up a few things, and low and behold, there was a Krispy Kreme store right there!! And with the HOT sign on! Quick trip there to bring doughuts home for the dh and Bo. Also, picked some up for dad and lil' bro. We all enjoyed them, as there is nothing like fresh, yummy Krispy Kreme doughnuts!

I so love going out of town!

I didn't even know this...  

Monday, June 23, 2008

The girls and I went to a birthday party the other evening....it was a co-worker's son's b-day party. Well, there were approximately 15 people there that I work with. Bo, of course, was being her usual party self! Apparently, she told my manager's husband, Bill, that, "My mimi takes her teeth out at night!"

Gina mentioned this to me this morning. Hummmmm...I wasn't aware that my mother had dentures. So, when I asked my mom what may have prompted this? Well, my mother does wear a retainer throughout the day, and apparently, she took it out the other night when the girls spent the night. So, poor Bill. He now thinks my mom wears dentures!! Ha! Bo ~ the crazy little girl!

DIVA IN TRAINING....  



The girls and I went to St. Augustine a few weeks ago. It was a blast!! We went with my sister, Dawn, and her family; my sister, Karin, and her family, and mom and dad. A few days at the beach....relaxing and taking it easy.

And look at little Addison! How could one not love this little face? She is just growing up to be such a little girl! And, check out the glasses! That girl wore them the whole time at the beach and whenever it was just plain sunny, which was quite a bit. She's already into shoes, and she's a little flirt! She loves the boys....Kinda sounds like her cousin, Bo!

Still here.....

I'm not dead, if that's what you're wondering! I admit, I have been SO busy the last month, and I've had very little down time. I haven't even purused my favorite blogs; it's been that hectic!

Scrapbooked with the girls last Friday night! So what I needed! Especially after my car got hit in the parking lot of Longhorns! Some jerk backed into the driver's side back door, and put this dent in the door. Ugh! I was NOT happy about that!!!

On Saturday, me and the girls went shopping and bumming around with Yvonne and Bre. I had to stop by Walmart to find some buttons, and Bre got out of the car....and slammed the driver's side back door. And, guess what? I heard this PLOING sound. At about the same time, Yvonne and I whip our heads around to look at the car. And, low and behold, the darned, offending dent POPPED OUT! I started laughing, I got so excited! Woohoo!

Other than that, I've been working and working and working. Add to this, I want to enter a scrapbook contest, and I really need to work on that! So, I promise, I will post some pictures this weekend....And, leave comments! That way, I know you're dropping by to say "hi" or just to find out what the hell has happened in my life now!

Here's what's up......  

Sunday, May 11, 2008

Well, to say it's been a long time is an understatement...My computer broke. As in DIED! I am actually typing this from my hubby's computer, which he is not happy about... Oh, well! He'll get over it :D !

Syd had her first field trip the other day - to the Publix supermarket! Whoowhee! Needless to say, she was not impressed. Though the other 6-year-olds in her class LOVED it! After the "behind the scenes" tour of Publix, they headed over to the park for play time. 18 little kids running around, screaming, yelling...makes me feel somewhat sorry for her teacher. How does she do it?

Well, of course, the good mom that I am, I decide that I, too, am going to run around and chase the kids. I go up these step things and stand up at the top. Only to realize that I am standing up under a 4-ft tall, metal arch. The glasses I was wearing on the top of my head, shattered into my head as I stood up. Ouch is an understatment...and I just got those darned glasses!

I actually have some pictures that I would like to post, but with the computer down and no CS2 to play with, it's taken all of the fun out of it. Have layouts I would like to take pictures of and post, but NO COMPUTER. DH is trying to get CS2 loaded onto the computer (he HAD to switch it to Linnux), but the darned program doesn't want to acknowledge CS2. I am about to have a nervous breakdown, but he has yet to realize it...or maybe he has, since I told him to religate (is this how you spell it?) the darn thing to the garbage... Or better yet, he can use it!

Mother's Day has been uneventful. My sisters and I took my mom out for Chinese food this afternoon, and then, two of my sisters, their husbands, and their kids came over to relax in the pool. So, between the drizzle, the wind, and the screaming, crying children that do not want to learn to swim, it was fun! Oh, and did I mention the puppy that my sister, Dawn, brought over? Lola kept wanting to play with Pepper, our cat. Pepper was having none of that!! She kept trying to attack the poor little dog! And, yes, the dog is little! Add to the fact, that everyone kept trying to put the dog in the pool to see if it would swim...For all of you animal lovers out there, the puppy is fine. She was not harmed in any way. In fact, JJ, my bil, put the puppy on a boogie board and floated her across the pool.

Anyways, hope everyone had a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! Hopefully, I will eventually post some pictures soon!
