It's Been A LOOOOONG Time!

This has been my 14th anniversary week. Yes, I just aged myself greatly. I have no idea how 14 years passed fast. WE decided on small sentimental gifts. Something that means something. Well, we came up with a joint gift. It was going to be a visit
Color Me Mine. We're going to go together next week and do a plate together or something cute like.

My sister asked me if I was serious. LOL...She laughed at me. I told her to do 14 years and then come up with something interesting. He'll do anything for me, really EXCEPT watch a chick flick. He refuses to do that on a dvd at home. It's crazy.


Anyway, that wasn't really good enough for him. I told him no jewelry,lingerie, or clothes to see what he could come up with. He bought me the most gorgeous pen. I write in my journal everyday. I'm constantly making notes for my writing. He gave me this beautiful Waterford Crystal Pen. I love it. It's been a great week.

Happy Friday.

Yummmmm

I called my mom to thank her for my beautiful anniversary flowers. They were gorgeous. If you ever want to send someone something, just include some Stargazer Lillies in the bouquet. They are my all time favorite. You only need a few and your room is full of the most gorgeous fragrence. It's heavenly.


My mom started telling me about my nephew. She happened to be watching him while my sister was in school. My sweet little up to boy stuff, nephew decided to play on the grass in the backyard. He's always exploring. My mom was out there, too. This boy is in love with my parents' dogs. So, he must have decided to give them a treat. He walked to the grass and picked up the biggest piece of POOP, from their German Sheppard...TITAN. I hope that gives you some kind of idea how big the Poop was. He took the poop and put it right into Titan's water dish. Then he said, "I do it!" He was so happy he clapped for himself.

How's that for a cute toddler and dog story! Poop in the water! I Do IT!

My Kids Just Crack Me Up!!!!!

They Just Crack Me Up!

Driving in the car with my second child.

Mommy LOOOK Hooters. (she gives her non existent little chest a double lift.)

Yes Ava...Hooters. Lovely.

I Want To Work There.

(GASSSPPPP)

Just kidding Mommy. You know I want to be a Doctor...hmmm Model...hmmmmm or a singer.

Ok Ava that sounds good. You know this is your life and if you work really hard you can be anything you can imagine or want.

Oh good Mommy. I really want to wear one of those tight little Hooter T-shirts.

(Holy Crap...I'm speechless.)

In relaying this story to my husband, my oldester daughter is listening.

Mommy and Daddy don't worry about Ava and Hooters. Her chest is going to be to flat to work there!

There you have it friends. That's what we talk about in my family. :)

Lovely.

How Was Your Weekend....?

I started planning a vacation this weekend. Actually, I'm planning two trips. The first is an actual vacation with the family. The second is to my high school reunion. How can it be 20 years? The reunion wasn't really in the summer planning until I connected with some friends from back in the day...or as my daughter refers to "back in the 80s." Who knew the 80s would be so reviled. LOL...Our Hair! It just makes me laugh. We know how the ozone started to open up, don't we? It was like the more crusty the better.

We should all post our senior pictures tomorrow, Monday, and look at the bangs. That is for those of us that are old enough to remember "the 80s." LOL.

BTW...We were up early on Saturday and went to the Farmers' Market. When we got there it was early. All the booths were still open. There were only two booths with veggies. How can they have a Farmers' Market with only two veggie stands? They had a dog snack stand, candles, candy, pastry booth, a blue grass band (at 8am,)and only two veggies stands. Hmmmm? All I can say is that hopefully as the summer arrives they'll have more.

Anyhoo, I'm off to relax. The kids are cuddled in their beds, the hubby is doing some work, and Mocha is snuggled next to my tush(his favorite spot.)It's time for me to put a movie on and chill with my glass of wine.

TTFN..

Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood...

We walked down to the harbor for lunch today. How about that for a view? It was a gorgeous day today. I ordered a crab cake sandwich, a glass of wine, and did a little people watching. It was senior tour day in the Historic Triangle.

Things For Thursday

Just a few notes from me this morning.

1. On the surface it might seem like a good idea to watch
PS I Love You, instead of the Today Show, but it's really not. Sure the kids are at school, the house is quiet, and it looks like it's going to rain. However, is crying a way you want to start the morning? Hmmmmm. Not Really. How is it possible for me, the Book Whore, to enjoy the movie much more than the book? Hmmmm.

2. Laundry never ends. If you think it does, you're simply wrong. For one that keeps up with it, like me, it still never ends. It's a crappy thought,I know. Embrace the chore with some good smelling detergent, like a nice TIDE and some Downey. Then sniff as you fold for some great Aromatherapy. Just a thought. LOL. :)

3. I LOVE FED EX! Gifts for the mothers in my world and grandmother will be on the way today. :)

FINALLY...

4. I really love my morning coffee. It's yummy this morning.

FINALLY FINALLY!!!!!

5. I wore my WOMEN FOR OBAMA T-shirt to the bus stop this morning, amongst all of the super conservative parents. LOVED IT!

Happy Thursday!

Closer...

June 6 is rapidly approaching! How did 38 happen so fast? I'm not obsessing about it, though. It's going to be a great day. I love birthdays. I love celebrating. The presents, the cake, and all the cards made by the kids make it worth gaining another year. Plus, I think I'm holding up pretty well. :)

On to other things...TICKS! They are the most disgusting things, next to rats and mice of course, that I've ever encountered. I'll leave that alone now, because it gives me chills just thinking about how they don't like to die. My poor little Mocha. He has the no tick and flea medicine, but I need to get his fur trimmed a little so they aren't attracted to him. Oh and let's not forget how last week one managed to end up on my little Sammy's nuts (as he calls them.) YUCK! Mommy had the joy of removing it from the nut sack. Lucky Me.

Well Flickr isn't cooperating with me today. Actually, I bet it's probably Blogger. That wouldn't surprise me at all.

I'm off to tuck the little ones into bed and do a little work.

Bye Friends,
Christie

My World....

My dreams have been so crazy and real lately. Have you ever had a phone number along with someone from your past keep dominating your dreams? It's crazy. I pulled out Freud to help me with my neurosis and inability to leave things alone. I can't get anything out of it, though, because I have little ones continually ....Ummm Mommmy can I... questions.

The phone number that always pops up is a 716 number! Crazy! No...lol..I'm not obsessing. :)
I was only able to get my two pictures up correctly, thanks to Blogger! lol.
My Sweet Guy!

It's spring and green.


Anyhoo...I've been trying to Annie Liebowitz my surroundings, without doing any Miley action. Lame..I know.


Ok friends.
XOXO,
Christie
