my latest time robber

i love it!

wrapping the vacation up

I did do everything on my list to some degree so you could say that i was not all that lazy during this vacation. Saturday found me scrapping with Cimi. I thought that since everyone started out the week with a photo of bad hair and no makeup, but we did have pie, that you should have one with decent hair, some makeup and chocolate pound cake. I finished up the wedding album, 3 years and 2 months after. Just have to do some journalling. I think the next photo project will be Janet and Todd's wedding vacation trip that we took almost 10 years ago to Colorado. I did do a memory book for her, but nothing for us. Tonite we go to Bonnie and Rob's for the Survivor ending. Jacki just called and Dago is on his way to pick her up so she will be joining us. What a surprise. So tomorrow back to the world of Macy's at the mall of Millenia. Everyone have a great week.

May vacation

So what does a girl do when she doesn't have a vacation trip planned? (in no order)

1-clean house?

2-cook?

3-iron?

4-catch up the shows?

5-visit?

6-shop?

7-decorate?

8-lay by the pool?

9-do some work?

10-play with Rocko?

11-nap?

12-read?

13-scrap?

14-organize messes?

15-gardening?

16-all of the above?

So here is a pic of what I have done besides #1,2,4,7,11! I am only into day 3 of the vacation so I most likely can do some other things on the list. The bigger question is why? Do we always have to stay busy or can we focus on the important things in life? Something that I have been asking myself for a long time. I believe that everyone makes choices, but we all always forget about the most important choice and that is what makes and keeps YOU happy! So have a HAPPY week and I will let you know Sunday how the May vacation turns out, who knows?

a new day, new week and a new month

I hope this finds everyone well. I just finished working all weekend and how exciting it was. On Sunday we had a fire outside the jewelry door, a customer slipped and fell so we called the men from the Fire Dept. And yes they were all great looking and really really fit. The customer is OK. On Saturday we had a Martha representative giving a demo on how to do backyard entertaining. The best was the sandwich on whole wheat with avocado, goat cheese and bean sprouts. The lemon sorbet was pretty good to. I also had Martha's personal assistant autograph my latest Martha book. Enjoy the hydrangea picture at the end of this post. They only use real flowers and gosh darn they let us take them all home.

Today I was off getting ready for my last day off until I start vacation next week.

So I went to take Rocko out and yes, you see it, a woodpecker just pecking away at the tree stump out in the middle of the yard. Very interesting to watch him. Of course Rocko being Rocko wanted to take off and get him. I just put him back into the house and enjoyed watching the woodpecker. During the day I caught up on all, ALL, my ironing. It sure will be nice to just go into the closet and get whatever I want for the next few weeks. I also caught up on Harper's Island. I like it. Sheer mindless entertainment with a scare to it. Good late spring TV. Now I am finishing up my day off to pay the bills and just get ready for work on Tuesday. So take care to all and thanks Cimi for not making me leave the house today. Love that.
