R & R

My weekend started on a wonderful note as my Mom's group met for the first time this semester. We


  • start with an icebreaker (which I usually DETEST, but she has some really fun ones),

  • enjoy a nice, casual brunch as we chat and catch up on each other's lives,

  • have a speaker (this time it was on phonemic awareness--different than phonics), and

  • sometimes do a craft. SOOO fun!

So relaxing. Our theme this year is "Precious Jewels," taken from Proverbs 31:10, to remind us that we are precious jewels! I like it!


Tomorrow morning, Ashley and I will head to San Diego to spend some "girl time" together. We will begin our weekend with a "high tea" at the CobblestonexCottagexTeaxShoppe, do some scrapbooking at the hotel, swim at their jacuzzi, attend church on Sunday morning, and finish off our weekend at Sea World (we have passes till the end of this year). At least that's what I have planned. Of course, we can change our minds at any time! If she really pushes the shopping, I'll force myself to take her to this mall close to the hotel for a couple of hours. I guess it can't be all about me, huh? (lol!)


So I'll probably post on Monday to give you a quick recap (and hopefully some pics!) For now, these are some pics from our weekend last year:

At the Tea Shoppe (they have all kinds of elegant dress-up clothes you can put on):


Have a wonderful weekend!

I forgot.... I would have LOVED to see your face when they announced an icebreaker. I seem to remember a certain retreat WE went on and when the icebreaker stuff came up, well........

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?!

Just another day ...

By
Today was a full day. The workers put in our patio door ... sooooooooo excited to have this door!!! The pictures look much less than impressive b/c I didn't take time to play around with them in Photoshop (CSI: Miami is on so I'm glued to the T.V, plus I have a huge load of laundry to fold still). I'm so thrilled to have this door that, good pic or not, I have to share. Like I said, we've never done anything like this before, so every little thing excites me beyond belief :-D They worked on it all day, having to break out a rather large section of the wall, take out a window and door, and move our electrical outlet and porch light. And as you can tell, they have to finish tomorrow. This is the view from the inside: This is the view from the outside: It was strange to have them in my house. But apparently, in deference to my "feminine ears," they decided to refrain from using their Spanish cuss words. That was nice :) Plus our washer is on the blink (has bee...
