Busy Weekend

Image
By
Haven't had one of these in a couple of months, but we were BUSY this weekend!
  • Saturday morning started off slowly (just the way I like!).
  • Then I did a little photoshoot with the kids for our Christmas card (you'll all have to live in suspense till you get the card (hopefully sometime this week ;))
  • Then, after some serious editing of my favorite photo, I went to Costco to get a gazillion photos made, ran various errands, came home (with the pictures) and started the cards.
  • Saturday evening we went to a Christmas party through Carlito's job (got home around midnight)
  • Sunday I went to church, raced to Toys-R-Us to buy a birthday present for Carlos' classmate, came home, got him dressed, took him to the party, and from there went to my cousin's house for a family gathering. Whew!
  • Got home around 5:00 and needed to have some "me" time. I don't do well with busy weekends.

So I went to Barnes & Noble to recharge my batteries and--believe it or not--spent over two hours browsing through books in the Crafts section (scrapbooking stuff), photography section, digital photography section, and magazines.

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

Feb Year In Review Layouts

By
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!

A Pleasant Surprise

By
So, I was just going about my business today--you know, life as usual, chores, kids, homework, dinner, etc., and I get a call from my husband around 8:00 p.m. that he's bringing a friend over to the house for dinner. I have met this friend a few times (Hi, Bobby!!), but we haven't seen each other for years (they live in San Francisco). After the initial excitement wore off (about three seconds later), I realized there's NO RICE in the house. That's a huge problem, considering he's Filipino and eats rice every day. So I made a quick Yoshinoya run, and pulled up in the driveway just before them. We had a great visit. The time just flew. We had a lot to catch up on. He is one of several high school and college friends that my husband still keeps in touch with. It is always mind-boggling to me that they all grew up together in the Philippines, yet several of them have made their way to California. Pretty cool, huh? This is the friend who graced us with his pre...
