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!)

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 :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

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." :)
