TGIF!

Oh I am SO glad it is Friday!!!! It has been quite a dramatic week at work and my nerves have about had it. Sometimes I hate working with women.

DD has a dentist appointment this afternoon. Knowing how well her one went a few months ago, I am kind of dreading it. I just told her we had an 'errand' to run this afternoon. Wonder how long I can hold out and not tell her...

Have a super weekend!

Thursday already

This week has been pretty fast - YEA!!!!!!!!!!

I just want to say that my sister is the GREATEST!!! We spent last Friday evening and Saturday morning together. It was SO much fun! Friday she took me to see The Farnsworth Invention at Timeline Theatre. It was a WONDERFUL show - the theatre is small (I would guess 80-100 people) and the cast was great. We stopped at one of her favorite pizza places Pied Eyed Pizza to grab a slice to take back to her place - it was yummy. Saturday morning we went for breakfast at The Breakfast Club - omelets were amazing! Then we took a walk and she showed me some beautiful homes and shopping/restaurants in her 'hood. It was a GREAT time! Thanks, A!

Sunday we went to out godchildrens' birthday party. We got to hear about their trip to the Grand Canyon (think Brady Bunch with a camper) - and had a nice time visiting with our friends.

We got DS's senior picture proofs yesterday (how did I get to be a mom of a HS senior?!). Anyway, they look good and now it's decision time - which poses and what package. (Because he couldn't have taken a FEW bad ones so we could take those out of the equation...)

This week has been work, work, work. I hope it's a little more relaxing this weekend!

Have a great rest of the week and weekend.

Book reviews

I know it's been a LONG time since I've done any of these but here's a few books that I've read in the past couple of months...

Size 14 Isn't Fat Either

by Meg Cabot

3 stars out of 5

This was another fun Heather Wells book. What happens when Heather finds herself in the middle of another crime? You can bet she'll be where she shouldn't be!

This series is fun to read and I love the characters!

The Accidental Bestseller

by Wendy Wax

4 stars out of 5

When you're a writer and your life falls apart what do you do? Shut yourself at a cabin and write like your career depends on it. But what happens when you are found to be a sham?

This is a touching, wonderful story of friendship and surviving life.

The Summer Kitchen

by Karen Weinrub

5 stars out of 5

Nora's world is turned upside down on one fateful morning but does she let that 'fall from grace' in the high society world she's used to beat her down? Not a chance!!!! This is a total 'girl power' story. I love Nora and her kids.

The Art of Racing in the Rain

by Garth Stein

5 stars out of 5

Written from a dog's perspective on his life with his family, this is such a touching story that I can't begin to explain it all. I hope that all dogs have that wonderful of a life!

I will try to get reviews up more often! Happy reading!

Wordless Wednesday

Tennessee, June 2009

It's Tuesday!

I hope you survived Monday - it went pretty well for me.

It looks a little overcast this morning, so we'll see what Mother Nature has in store today.

I will be posting some book reviews this week, so I hope you'll check back in a couple of days. :) Speaking of books, DD & I are reading Beezus and Ramona together (I forgot how fun those books are) and hope to see the movie when it comes out!

Have a great day!

It's Monday...

It sure was a short weekend...

I found out yesterday that working at a desk in air conditioning sure makes me a softy! I helped hubby yesterday and sanded and washed walls for about 3 hours and I am DYING this morning! I obviously need to be exercising more.

I stopped into the resale shop yesterday to check on work pants/skirts and hit a score! Capris appropriate for work, a super cute skirt (DD approved...) and lime green shirt and a pair of sandals - brand new - for less than $20.

Other than that, not much else went on this weekend. HOpe you all had a great one and this week is good to you!!!!

HUGS!

Big news!!!!

We have her 1st wiggly tooth!!!!!!!!!!!!

TGIF

Happy Friday!!!!!

I hope you're having a wonderful July (how did it get to be July already?)! I am hoping to have a 'crafty' weekend this coming one... Hopefully some scrapbooking and knitting get done.

And did we need a WHOLE HOUR show to announce that LeBron is going to Miami? That kind of hype is stupid!!!!!! Give the punk the attention he wants...brilliant media brilliant!!!

Anyway....
Have a super weekened!
