City Slicker

I have been doing blog backgrounds to fill my time and learning photoshop elements.  The only thing is I tend to redo them 20 times to get it just right.  Easier to just upload them from Cutest Blog on the Block, but not nearly as entertaining.   A plus is that my background is original.  I have had a lot of fun and I might (MIGHT) do a few more St. Patrick's Day backgrounds to post so anyone can use them.  I would be flattered.  (even if they are ugly you all should indulge a friend.)  

I am reading again, ah the love of a good book.  I am feverishly reading Twilight.  A teen romance novel.  I am almost done with the first book, but there are three more so that should keep me busy and neglecting my responsibilities for another couple of weeks.   Have you read a good book lately (not THE good book) a good book.  Let me know what it was so I can continue to neglect my responsibilities and take my mind off of my mindless life right now.  

Mark is flying to Huntsville, Alabama on Tuesday for an interview. HUNTSVILLE!  You have to try your best to say it with a southern drawl.  My neighbor thinks it is funny that I might be moving to Alabama.  Now really, am I that much of a city girl?  Am I going to be a city slicker? I shutter to think I couldn't handle the simply life.

I would love to use one of your backgrounds. Where are they?

Low Expectations

Mark and I took the kids a couple of years ago to Orlando for a weekend.  Nathan was less than a year old, Alexandra must have just turned 2 and Madison was 4.  I look back and laugh but at the time it was anything but funny.  A trip to Disney would be fun and relaxing right?  HA!  We never even made it to Disney because Madison was so ornery the day we were going to go I couldn't justify going.  We learned a lot about being parents of three young kids that weekend.   During our stay we took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe.  Nathan was terrified the whole meal and after our $75 lunch Madison threw up all over the table and floor.  That is when Mark made the rule we don't take the kids to a restaurant unless it has a drive thru, curbside doesn't count.  We really do stick to that rule and the only sit down "nice" restaurant we go to with the kids is Sonny's BBQ.  Before we left I wanted to get the kids a little something from the Disney Marketplace.  I took the...

True Friends

I am on Facebook daily and love flair.  I had a local friend send me flair that said , " True friendship isn't being inseparable. It's being separated and nothing changes."  I'm hoping that once I leave this area I have many friends that are true friends.  This post is an ode to such a friend.  One friend of mine moved away many years ago and I realized the other night that she is that just that friend.  It doesn't matter if time or many miles separates us she is a true friend.  I realized after a long conversation on the phone with that person (her mostly listening) that I have a gem of a friend and I am so grateful for her.  I just wanted to send out a shout to that person, you know who you are and let you know I think your the best!   Maybe one day God will let us live in the same city.   It is funny as you get um... well.... older you start to have friends all over the country.  I do have many friends all over the place and each of you are special to me.  ...

Happy New Year!

Happy Anniversary to my parents that got married today many moons ago. Congratulations for over 30 years of marital bliss.   Updates... I know why you should have a realtor.  Too many emotions.  The people that looked out our house put it in their top 3 choices and today they go back to their other 2 choices.  We will see what happens.  I feel a low offer coming our way, if we get an offer at all.     Do you know how much work it is to keep a house walk thru ready?  I feel like we worked all day to get out for an hour and then we came home and trashed the place.     Tomungus, Nathan's new word.  What it means I'm not quite sure, but he thinks it is funny.  He says humongous and ginormous a lot so I think he just said one wrong.   The veggie garden is growing wild. We have tiny tomatoes, squash, zucchini and broccoli. I kinda hope we can get some veggie before we move.  If not I will have to start another garden the kids love it and it keeps them busy watering it.  Playing in  w...
