Photo by Eve48 Today is the anniversary of Brian and I getting engaged. We were engaged on 10/30/1999…otherwise known as Devil’s Night…or so I thought. For the past few days, I’ve been talking about Devil’s Night to people at work, people at the Chamber of Commerce breakfast I went to yesterday, and to the people [...]

I’m stressed out today. I don’t know why. Well, that’s not true…I do know why. I think that the upcoming election, along with the country’s economic issues, on top of Brian not being able to find a full-time job are just starting to really really wear on my nerves. I know that I’m doing [...]

Jack o’ Lanterns Originally uploaded by Teo I took the kids out to a farm yesterday with The Girl’s friend’s family. It was so strange for me. Being from Michigan, going hunting for the perfect pumpkin always involved at least a jacket, but more often than not, we wore hats, gloves, winter coats, and boots. [...]

Photo by Eric Harmatz Well, it’s not been a good week for the whole exercise thing. I did manage to do an hour long workout with an exercise ball and a resistance band earlier this week, and might do it again tonight, and I did walk The Girl to school once, but that’s it. I [...]

Photo by Yummy Pancake First of all, I’m very excited because The Girl’s friend’s mom invited our family to go to a local farm on Sunday. I am looking forward to it, despite my allergies. I just love to see the kids when they are enjoying the simple things in life. The Girl just read [...]

Photo by beautifulcataya I may be a convert. I have always shopped at your typical grocery store, like Albertsons or Kroger. I’ve never been one to buy organic foods, not for any reason other than it’s just too expensive. But, my friend at work eats all organic food (well, mostly organic) and has been telling [...]

I was at work today talking to my boss, who gave me a great work-related compliment. We were talking about some stuff that I’ve been doing with my new hire and our new programs. She said to me, “See? I told Bev (her boss) that I hired my replacement!” How great is that? I’m [...]

So here it is: Sunday: Day of Rest…or something… Monday: Walked the Girl to School Tuesday: Day off Wednesday: Ab work out, I think….. Thursday: Pilates, and moved furniture in [...]
Our First Sleepover in CA
Posted in Cute Kids on October 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
photo by thegarnetgirl Well, it was unexpected and unplanned, which is probably the best kind of sleepover. The Girl’s friend is staying the night at our house tonight. When we were in Michigan, we had sleepovers all the time, but this is the first one since we moved here 6 months ago. The kids were [...]
