WHAT a weekend!

Wow... we had a CRAZY busy weekend! Friday night was a late night at the store and I had the kids with me! After we closed at 10pm we headed over to Borders for their HP Grand Hallows Ball event. We wandered around, checked out the costumes and the like and then lined up for our book at around 11:20. Finally got my book at about 1:15am and was able to leave. Poor kiddos!

Saturday I had 2 card classes, back to back, and then a crop with my Design Team. It was TOTALLY fun and I didn't get home until almost 2am!

Sunday we took the kids to see Transformers... WOW... it was really good! The effects weren't cheezy, the characters were good and the format was still adult enough to enjoy it! Lots of action too!

Came home at around 2:30 and promptly started reading. 12 hours later I was DONE. Oh yeah baby! I am waiting for the hub to read it so I can re-read it again. I was very careful not to skim or skip ahead but you always miss stuff the first go-around.

So I am excited now... reading done... Transformers done... card classes done... now I gotta get on planning for our trip... what clothes to take, which suitcases to bring etc... exciting stuff I tell ya!

Have a great day!

Can you see my teeth a SHINING out there? Oh yeah, so now that we know unemployment is immenent... we are getting all of our checkups, refilling all perscriptions and making sure everyone is in tiptop shape. Jason and I had our dental checkups today. The dentist commented that we all have GREAT teeth and whatever we are doing to keep it up! Mind you, the last time I went in was 2005... so that is good news!

We are FINALLY finishing the painting in our room today... it just bites that we have limited time to work on it. Today is nice and sunny, not too hot as of yet so Jason just finished the 2nd coat of primer and I am gonna go do the corners. WE WILL BE MOVING OUR BED IN THERE TONIGHT. I am sick of sleeping on the floor.

Still no luck finding a nightstand... but I will eventually find one I am sure.

Have a fabu day!

Humph...

Didya have a good 4th? We TOTALLY did! Hung out with some long lost friends... bbq'ed, swam and watched some amazing fireworks. Yanno what? I didn't take ONE flipping picture. Bet you thought that would bum me out.. but honestly... most of the time I am stuck behind the camera and don't spend enough time actually ENJOYING the time with friends and family.

Painting is officially done. Touch ups have yet to begin. Taping is an EVIL thing... I don't recommend it. It pulled up all four sides of our ceiling and now we need to redo that. Otherwise it looks great! I can't wait to get everything all done and get in there. Our carpet is shot, beyond cleaning even... I think we need to seriously consider getting new stuff in there. There is a remnant place in town that we are going to check out.

My baby brother is back in Northern CA. I miss him. The night before he left we brought out Mom's ashes and had a bonfire. Cory sank his hands into her ashes and it was amazing. He took a bit of her ashes back up north to take into the Redwoods. She would have loved it there.

We got our Passports today! Well, Jason and I did. The kid's haven't shown up yet but we still have 4 weeks and they don't technically need theirs.

That is about all for me... as for my Humph... I am just in that down mode today... a bit emotional if you will. There never is one reason, it is usually a bunch of stuff piled on itself. I will snap out of it in the next few days... and a day of hair coloring, possible pizza and beering and hanging with my friend should do the trick!

Have a great weekend!
