Deb, show pictures when you're done!

Survived the party yesterday, going to my sister's pool today. Not a party really, just a way to cool off. Supposed to be near 100 again today.

I slept horribly last night, my old cat kept getting on me and crying in my face. I think she woke me up 6 times. Think I'll try to nap at the pool.

I get to see my BFF for breakfast this morning.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Brooke, have a wonderful time visiting with sweet Blythe!!!! I'd love to see photos.

We're going to have a family day today. Not sure yet what we'll be doing since the guys are still sleeping. I'm thinking some board games or card games will probably happen and maybe I'll be lucky today and actually win! My guys always win by a big margin!!!!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Are you gals having breakfast with each other?? HAVE FUN!


Yesterday I went to M's with my friend who bought all the stamping stuff from me. All the things there are coupons for are on sale and you don't need the coupon - including martha punches. But of course no beachy edge punch, which was what I wanted. She found a lot of stuff she 'needed' though.

We were just getting ready to go to a friends for cookout when there was a huge but brief thunderstorm. When it ended we went. We had just gotten back and whoops! HEre's another one - the power went out and the storm rolled and rumbled for a couple hours. WHAT a wild night!

Today, I will
computer time and coffee
breakfast
photos from walgreens
stamp & scrap
lunch
stamp and scrap
nap
stamp & scrap
supper (leftovers from Buca de Beppo)
scrap
bed.

Happy Day, all!

Nope...just chaps my hiney how much a heavy duty trellis costs! So, I figure for a bit more $$ I can make one that will last longer and be something of "me" in my garden...

 

[morgansmom2000]

We did have breakfast together It's good for my soul to spend time with Holly.

Afternoon ladies

meets are over. L did awesome today!!! 2 firsts and a 2nd. course this was a VERY small meet only 4 teams and not all the kids from those teams. This meet was stuck in to get kids qualified for states in a few weeks.

I'm exhuasted yesterday I drove over 300 miles and the last 50 was back roads in the dark in moose country. I'm now taking a 2 hour breather before I have to clean the kichen (yet again) before DH and E come home.

Brooke hope you had and awesome visit
Holly and Jennifer wish i was there.
Linda I like you list scrap scrap and scrap some more.
Deb enjoy the trellis build
Stephanie would love a game day around here.
Nap time now

 

[PinballFamily]

Sounds like a good day is being had by all!

Fairly restful weekend (!) for us and we're methodically knocking items off the to-do list in a not-crazy way (yet!).

Today's excitement was a fun craft project the kids did today (they actually got the supplies for Christmas!) that they enjoyed and after researching and reading product reviews for months, we finally pulled the trigger and bought a fun new digital camera. Our old one is beyond huge and although the pix are fine, we've lost the battery charger and it just seems like time to get one of the sexy and tiny new cameras that can go anywhere with us.

BBQ chicken (satay) for dinner - yum! - and a new Hercule Poirot Mystery! on PBS tonight...fun, fun...fun!

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Hi everyone!!

As Nan said, our visit with Miss Blythe was WONDERFUL!! I stayed in her little room with her while DBrother held her for about 30 min. Then, DH went back and I stayed in the lounge with SIL and DS. Blythe stayed awake the whole time--my brother and SIL said that this was the longest they'd seen her stay wide awake at one time! She must love her auntie and uncle!!

Today, she weighs 4 lbs, 4.4 oz. I saw it on her sign in her room and said, "Wow, today she's exactly half of what DS weighed when he was born!" DH said he said the exact same thing when he went back. It's just kind of unbelievable!!

She definitely is a little blessing! We got her some clothes the past 2 weeks (she's been able to wear them finally), but the nurses said that in the next 2 weeks (or maybe 3), she'll advance to Newborn size. So, of course, I had to find her one today--a little outfit with pink cars on it that says "off to auntie's"!

Thanks, y'all, for all of the prayers and pixie dust! We are hoping for a late August/early September return home!!

So, of course, I had to find her one today--a little outfit with pink cars on it that says "off to auntie's"!

HOW CUTE!!!

So glad you got to spend so much time with her!

 

[Lisa]

SIOH, so glad you had a great visit with the Princess. Of course she stayed awake, she was thrilled to be held by auntie. I can't wait for the day you tell us she is going home to her own nursery.
Christy, great job by L!
Rebecca, are you taking care of your sister's kids while she is in FL?
PBF, have a great time playing with your new toy.
Holly and Jennifer, sound like you had fun.
DiT, so who won the games?

Linda, I am not sure what I am more envious of, your scrap and stamp time or your nap time!

My to do lisy for today:

Feed cats.
Cleaned out stinky pete boxes.

Picked up tables to use for MomE's September tag sale.
Organized some more paperwork. Found the important papers that I needed.
Oversaw tubby time.

gee, when I write it down my list looks small, so why am I beat?

 

[morgansmom2000]

Aw, how sweet of Blythe to be awake for your visit, Brooke! She's a little fighter!

I'm partial, but is this not the cutest baby face EVER? She really thinks Auntie Jennie is funny (looking), I had her cracking up (She's exhausted - that's what the bags under her eyes are from - she's not a napper).

 

[rlovew]

Jennifer- How CUTE!!!

Brooke- sounds like a great visit and great news!

Lisa- yes I am helping my parents with my Brother's kids whilke my SIL is in Florida getting there house ready. He has gotten back from Iraq to the states but is in California out-processing before he heads to his new assignment in Cape Canaveral FL. He is driving cross country this week with the vehicle they had left in CA.

Brooke - so glad that you had a great visit! I saw the pictures - she is so precious!!

Jennifer - your little niece is adorable!!

 

[Lisa]

Rebecca, you are a good sister.
Jennifer, she is ADORABLE. I know of a cutie patootie boy in TN for her.
SIOH, Princess Blythe is such a little princess. She looks like she is talking with her hands.
