A dress! Yipee!

We had to go shopping today (I say, "had to" because I am one of a few anomolies (sp?) of the female species who loathe shopping--yes, there actually are others :) Anyway, Ashley needs a swimsuit because she's going to the beach with the Youth tomorrow, and she doesn't have one (just in case you're wondering, I excel at procrastination ;) ). I told her I would take her to Wal-Mart and Target--that's all I was up for. Of course, we went to both stores and she didn't find a bathing suit she likes. BUT, my torture wasn't all in vain, as she found a dress she liked! She NEVER wears dresses, so I am so excited that she actually bought one. And, apparently she got lots of compliments on it, so maybe this will start a new "feminine" trend. Yeah!


Oh, what's she going to do about a swimsuit tomorrow? Her answer: she's not going to get wet. Let's see, beach, sand, ocean waves, friends swimming. Yes, I'm sure she won't so much as dip her little toe in the water ... ;)


Ta ta for now! Thanks for visiting! Yes, that's her in her new dress.

Ashley looks beautiful in that dress! Good job, Ashley! By the way, did that "errand" have anything to do with the movies? LOL!

She did look fabulous in that outfit last night at church. Very pretty on her. And it shows off her gorgeous skin tone. Lucky little girl going on 18. :)

Hey Carmela,
I just left a comment for your comment on my blog!
I wholeheartedly agree with Teena & Donna...tell Ashley she looks gorgeous...I can't believe how old she looks.
My little girlie just graduated from COLLEGE. Are we getting old??? Good luck with the bathing suit shopping...sounds torturous. :-)

Love ya!

I have to edit my previous comment. I said "lucky little girl going on 18." It actually was a play on something Carmela said about Ashley last night. She is not going on 18 - give her a few more years...:0

I did make it sound that way though...sorry.

Missing You

By
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 :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

By
No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Another Layout

Credits here . Can you tell how I've been spending my free time :) I had the most fun taking these pictures! I just asked Ashley to tell me a story (she is quite the storyteller and quite the drama queen--she takes after her aunt, lol!) . As she was telling her GREAT story, I just used the "continuous" mode in the fancy, shmancy camera and shot away. Went to Seal Beach today with Teena . So fun and relaxing. Why don't I have pictures to share? Ummm, I kind of forgot the CF card (to store the pictures on) at home. That's only the second time in less than a week that I've done that. Aren't you proud of me?! In case any of you were wondering, yes, I am a total "spaz." :)
