Favorite Things

Things that make me smile and sometimes laugh:
  • my family
  • Starbucks with friends
  • reading blogs :)
  • parking the car in the driveway of our "new" house, lol! Oh, I guess I've forgotten to take a picture to show, huh?
  • bantering with Ashley (the good kind of bantering--not the kind that gives me gray hairs!)
  • My Missionettes girls (I think we've already been over the fact that even though they all have parents, they're still "my" girls!)
  • breakfast with friends (Hi, Teena!)
  • my new XTi :)
  • Photoshop Elements (one of my best friends 'cause it makes me look like I take good pictures, lol!)
  • scrapbooking (digital and regular)
  • Crock Pot dinners (If I wasn't a Christian I would worship the person(s) who invented it)
  • women friends in general
  • the words Carlos mispronounces (washmouth instead of mouthwash, it's "between the rules" instead of "against the rules," and "overfloat" instead of overflow) I, of course encourage the mispronouciation by repeating it after him :-D
  • when my kids have teachers who "get" kids Hi Debbie! and Matt!--if you are even reading this :-D
  • God (He totally has a sense of humor, doesn't he?!)
  • ThelPioneerlWoman--thanks, Teena ;)
  • hugs from my "babies"
  • NoiselNinja (thanks to Dave Peeters!)
  • when I get to witness other people poking fun at Ashley :) (you know who you are!)

Feb Year In Review Layouts

Just a quick post tonight. It dawned on me a few days ago that I'm already behind in my "Year . In . Review" layouts, so I put February's together. Believe it or not, for such a simple concept, these layouts took about three hours combined. I couldn't believe it! Anyway, these photos depict the highlights of February. Maybe tomorrow I'll do March :) (I wonder how many hours that will take?!) Just in case you're wondering, Carlos is still sick--no fever, just a sore throat now. Hopefully he'll go back to school on Tuesday ('cause I need some "me" time before I turn into a monster, lol!). 'Cause as you all know, life is all about me, right ;) Happy Monday, y'all!

Missing You

We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)
Wow! I am so bugged that I never post anymore. Facebook is just so much easier. I'll just keep it simple-- random data: today I had Pho (Vietnamese soup) for the first time and LOVED it!! Seriously, you haven't lived till you've tried it :) I created two and a half sketches of future layouts, and halfway finished two more layouts. really on a paper-scrapping frenzy! This is one sketch: I joined the Facebook group "I grew up in Fairfield, IL, and thought I would die of boredom (but I didn't)" :D ... you have to have grown up in a dinky town to "get it" had a "day off from life" hanging out at my in-laws house all day ... ahhh! gotta love days like that I can't believe it's almost June already
