Howdy Doody...

This weekend is going to be crazy busy... yes.. it is.

Just stressing out about a few things here and there... namely, the invitation that came home yesterday for October the 6th for Alea's girl scout troop Bridging Ceremony at our park at 4pm... and well, the knowledge that we already HAD an invitation for a very important bday party on that very same day. Now most of you would say... HA HA... just do both! Party is at 1pm, THEN go to Girl Scouts... but but... it's up north, a ways away... and I want to hang with my friend and her bday kiddo... and well... ARG...

So other than that... I am making cupcakes for the Breast Cancer Crop tomorrow. WOW... that extra minute or two REALLY makes a difference in the color.. uh hmm... ANYWAY... lots of stuff to do for the crop... table setup... trashbags taped to said tables, chair setup... food table setup... etc etc... oh yeah, did I mention we JUST got the keys and I have to work in less than an hour until 10pm? nice...

Have a great weekend!

Hmph...

Well that birthday went by pretty uneventfully. My DAD called and woke me up, then my Uncle called and RE-woke me up... then the kid's school called with a recording reminder of Back To School night tonight and at that point I gave up.. LOL

Did bunches of running around. Was productive and paid bills. Went to Souplantation for dinner.

Welcome 33!

Howdy Bloggerverse!

How might YOU be today? Well I am just hunky dory. It has been a LONG week, coming up on a LONGER weekend with MUCH fun in sight for NEXT week in Vegas!! How totally super cool is it to have THIS conversation (many months ago)...

"Yeah, I try not to plan any traveling around your birthday anymore... giggle giggle" (totally long story)..

"Well, we are going to a trade show in Vegas before my bday... seems like a good enough time to take a little break for us!"

"Hmmm.. my boss asked about going to a conference in Vegas in September, maybe I will stop ignoring him and find out when..."

"OMG... how FUN would that be? When do you think it is?"

"Like the week before your bday.. I think"

"NO WAY. THAT IS WHEN WE WILL BE THERE!!"

"Ok.. that's settled, I am going too!"

And here we are, several months and MUCH anticipation on my part at least... leaving Monday AM for VEGAS BABY... with the Hub and the Friend! YEAH YEAH YEAH! I have a feeling we are going to have a BLAST!!!! Have a GREAT WEEKEND!

Peace OUT...

My blog is blah

It looks ugly... I need to find a decent background theme... must look into that.

SO... I have found a new inspiration. ELSIE.

NO.. I haven't been living under a rock for the past 2 years, but I haven't been online much lately as you may have noticed from my lack of posting. I love her scrapbook style because it is SO different than my boring linear style. I love her SENSE of style. I love her shoe collection... which by the way, totally inspired me to take a picture of my OWN shoes yesterday. I REALLY love her photographs. I love looking at her cute lil' emo brother and adorable sister and all of her SUPER cool friends! I want to be her when I grow up... wait... she is younger than me - oh well.

I found her blog, MySpace and Flickr pages yesterday and was browsing through for a good 2 hours. I should have been cleaning or something I know... but hey, it isn't every day you find someone who inspires you to arrange all of your cute new shoes and take pictures right? Which I will post momentarily. I also know that she has had a rough time this past year and I am RIGHT THERE WITH HER. No, not totally in the same sense, but hard times are hard times and us girls gotta stick together!

Anyway... I am super excited that I "found" a like minded soul! I hope you (yes YOU my 1 reader) can find someone or something that inspires YOU today!

Howdy!!

Feeling a little bit FUNKY today... in a good way! My bday is comin' up as well as a trip to Vegas with the hub and the friend!! WOO HOO! I purchased beer yesterday. Well come on... why not really? They had it at Costco and it ends up being SO much cheaper than buying in the hotels! I love NewCastle... but they also had the Mothership Wit (organic wheat beer) at Costco as well! We are just gonna bring a cooler and a giant purse and we will be set! We are attending the Memory Trends Trade show for the store. It is super fun to cruise around and see all the new stuff coming out, hang out with our super cool friends and play in Vegas! Besides... no kiddos for a week! I love my kids but come on.. we are decent parents and therefore are entitled to a bit of time off now and again! It happened to work out that my friend is ALSO going to be there for a conference at the SAME TIME. Now if that isn't PERFECT I don't know what is! I have a feeling we are going to be IN TROUBLE that week... LOL

Have a fabu day... I am off to catch up on blogs and bills and blah blah!
