Our "Girlie" Weekend :)

Warning: LOTS of photos. I had such a hard time choosing photos.

My "baby" and I left for San Diego--Starbucks in hand ;)--around 10:00 a.m Saturday. Our first stop was the hotel to "freshen up" for our Afternoon High Tea.

Here are some pics at the Tea Shoppe. You can see it's a very "cutesy," cozy place. We were served a delicious, filling lunch of various tea sanwiches, scones, fruit, quiche, and dessert. Here are some pics at the Tea Shoppe.The Tea Shoppe just happens to be in a quaint, little shopping area. So we had to check it out. Here are some pics of the shopping area.

Sunday we went to Sea World for a couple of hours (we have passes till the end of the year). I didn't take my camera inside, so I just took a picture of Ashley in the parking lot. I will admit, I am a crazy mom and I told her to sit on the roof of the car so I could get a good shot of the "Journey to Atlantis" ride in the background ... she was very happy to comply, though :)

After we left Sea World, we met Carlito and Carlos at Shoreline Village, where Ashley did a little shopping (she fell in love with this yellow dress ... notice that the bodice is slit to the navel ... hmmm), and we ate at Chili's.

Yes, she is! She is a photographer's dream. Lucky me! ;)

But then again, your daughter is very photogenic as well. I ADORE taking pictures of her (and I get the feeling she likes her picture taken as well!)

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 encourag...

"Cool" Lunch

By
I usually make Ashley take her lunch three days out of the week (she "gets" to buy on the other two days, even though she doesn't actually eat the food--part of the whole "fit in with the crowd" issue) . I was having a SERIOUSLY hard time getting her to bring her lunch, and it occurred to me one day that if she took "fancier" sandwiches, she might not fight it so much. So ... I started making Chicken Salad and getting various toppings (she likes the jars of roasted peppers, pepperoncinis, alfalfa sprouts, tomato, etc.) as well as buying bolillos or other fancier sandwich breads. That went over well. It went over so well that her friends would ask for a taste, and rave about how yummy the sandwich was. They were actually jealous of Ashley's lunch (yeah! now she won't be the "geek" who brings her lunch; she'll be the girl who brings cool lunches--mission accomplished and then some!) . One of her friends I know rather well, because...

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

By Carmela
hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah  post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me.  I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section.  I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me.   So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates!  It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far.  :)  God is incredibly amazing, huh?   The big pi...
