40th High School Reunion yesterday

I have to admit... I was hesitant to go.  But, I'm so glad I did.  It was amazing seeing everyone and the memories were awesome!  40 years is a long time and while most of us have changed, a lot of our personalities and voices were the same.  And smiles.  That's what I remembered the most about people.  I can't wait for the next one, now. 

WOW!

That's all I can say about Convention this year.  It was amazing.  So many new products, so many friends, so many laughs and tears and so much excitement.  There is no way to explain what Convention is like... you simply have to experience it.  And then, you have to recover from it!  And that's going to take a while. 

TOMORROW!!!

Well, it's finally here!  We leave in the morning for Dallas!  I am so ready.  I am packed and I do believe I am ready to go.  Peggy should be here anytime.  We are going to have a quiet night and get a good nights' sleep and be ready to go in the morning!  YEEHAA (that's Texan for woohoo!)

THREE MORE DAYS!

Til we leave for Convention!  Dallas, TX, here we come!!!  I just hope Peggy and Miranda are as excited as I am... they have to be, if not more!  This will be the first time for both of them.  They have to be going crazy about now!  I'm just about ready.  I've got some laundry to do, but other than that, I've just about got everything together.  I've packed all my stuff for the creative sessions.  I'm in the process of updating the maps on my GPS.  I've got a new book on my Kindle.  I've got 2010 Word coming so I can get my laptop updated.  New credit cards are activated.  Nails are done.  Snacks and supplies purchased.  Now, to just get there, see all the new stuff and start spending money!!! WOOHOO!!! Isn't it great to have a good reason to do so!!!

It's July... and it's a HOT ONE!

Senior Class of '72

Well, it's July.  June was so hot that I have to wonder what July is going to bring!  I do not like the heat.  I much prefer the 70's!  Speaking of the 70's, I have my 40th High School Reunion this month... Class of 72, ROCKS!!!  I can't believe it's been 40 years.  I also can't believe I've been catching up with old friends... Janice Baker.  WOW.  We were best buds in school.  And she's been a Facebook friend for a while... I just didn't know it was her!  How crazy is THAT!!!  Here's a blast from the past...  MY senior picture.  I may have to add others... just to preserve them!

Memorial Day Weekend

What an awesome weekend!  Judy and I just messed around all weekend.  We were up at 6 each morning and enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the patio.  Shortly after getting our coffee fix, we found ourselves working in the back yard while it was still cool.  We planted and cleaned up the patio.  I moved furniture around and got everything just like I wanted it.  After the coolness started passing, but before the heat of the day hit, we went shopping!  To Michael's for scrapbook stuff, Lowes and Teal Greenhouse for plants, Hobby Lobby for cute stuff for outside and lunch here and there.  Then back home and inside during the heat of the day for 3 wonderfully creative days of cardmaking.  Pinterest and Dotty for You was our best friends!  Then, as the evening approached, and the patio got shaded, we moved outside to grilling for dinner and finishing the patio.  We even got the old lawnmower sold! VERY productive weekend!  YEAH FOR US!!!  I'd put some pictures up, but they are on my phone and I haven't sent them to myself yet.  But, they are on Facebook!

Love this Spring Weather!

Yesterday was the absolute perfect day.  High was low 70's.  Nice breeze.  Even the pollen count seemed low (at least the stuff that bothers my sinuses!).  It was Mother's Day and I spent the day doing just what I wanted.  Nothing big.  Just messed around the house... sheets changed, yard mowed and trimmed, read a little, watched a little TV, worked a little in my scrapbook room and fixed myself a wonderful dinner!  Filet on the grill along with a stuffed shiratake mushroom and corn on the cob.  YUMMM!  I was in no hurry all day and not once felt stressed!  How awesome is THAT!

So, I'm heading back to work today, relaxed and ready to conquer the week!  I might just take off Friday to give myself a nice 3 day weekend.  OWH is Saturday, so that would be nice to have the day before and afterwards to relax... some more!  I can get used to this!
