weekend review . . .   July 27, 2008

friday night it was all about kristal:) at least that was what the cake said. actually, we were celebrating her birthday. and she rocked her 4 creations in like nothin’ flat that were due that night for gg assignments. i so wanna be like her when i grow up.
we missed janice:)
i started kitting for my class. note to self: do not teach the same month you are on vaca twice:) after hand cutting 80 butterflies and tiny flowers, my hand was numb.
saturday- my dad, bro and dh got to work on our front yard. we’ve been meaning to add curb appeal for oh, the last 2 years, but then our beautiful mari happened, and that somehow was shelved?!? they were working for 6 hours, tearing out all of our weeds, old plants, and flowers on the 3 beds of land between the driveway and the lawn area. i was given tasks running errands like getting food, replacing tools that broke, etc. i did get to have one on one time with emi for a few hours, and that was awesome! that girl just cracks me up these days! miss emi then got to have an impromptu weekend with my parents. she will be home tomorrow in time for lunch and her playdate:) daddy and mari had an evening together, since mommy went to see, him in concert! and can he R.O.C.K. omgosh, i cannot wait to go see him again! given i wasn’t sure who he was when i agreed to go, when PO set it up, i am so so happy i did! i LOVE two of his songs, the one SYTYCD with twitch and kherington, and the one that david archuleta sang with one republic. it was *couples night*, be careful of the num nuts around you, and if they’re tall, well, they’re just prickery! those are some of the best lines from the night, and some were directly from jm. suzy, rocio, janice and i laughed so much, omgosh!!! today, after church [and surprise surprise, guess who lasted until just after communion w/o having a meltdown...YEP, our now 20 month old did!], janice joined me in prepping for my class. with everything going on this week, it has been challenging to say the least to concentrate. cannot say thank you enough nanice!!! and, suzy for cutting butterflies with me friday, and offering to come down today:) we jammed, and got it all prepped in 8 hours! oh, and the BAGS. that is another story!!! when buying ziploc bags, make sure you read the dimensions. so i thought i was all good- i bought 117 bags- 3×39 gallon bags DOES NOT = 117 bags - 3 gallon x 39. ugh! so, i ran to target in search of those 2.5 gal. ones. no luck. big lots. nope. dollar store. zero. back to the drawing board. called my mom, she is going to target tomorrow to hunt some down. how come i come back home, search some more thinking- for the last garage sale i had another box stashed somewhere with them. YES- found them about 10 minutes after janice left tonight. my dh and i just cracked UP.
i was so relieved/excited, thought i would just finish them tonight. and then sweep and mop the kitchen up. [MOPPING- story for another day LOL] NO. watched SATC reruns and now of course am on here. totally played hard and then worked hard this weekend. just totally missed my mari time and my dh time. and then, i realized, we’re yet on another vaca coming up in 1 1/2 weeks. seriously, where does the time go?
i LOVE my family. i LOVE God. i LOVE and admire my dh. i LOVE and adore my sweet/sassy girls. i LOVE my friends. i LOVE my life- inside my bubble.
i LOVE having a true network i can call my friends. i LOVE that they do not tally. do NOT keep score. that they are simply there to be my friend, love, and support me.
you know who you are!
go ahead and say it.
SAY what you need to say!!!

blessings,
