Totally inspired right now...

By this: http://www.melodeelangworthy.typepad.com/ I want to go home and make something like it...right now! Except that those dang bosses of mine might have an issue with it...

But at least I have this class to look forward to tonight: http://rightathome.typepad.com/our_home_on_the_weblog/2007/09/take-5september.html. I love Sarah's classes!

And last bit of today's news...it's my two month anniversary of dating John. It still feels like high school counting the weeks and months, but since that's where our story began...it's all good! I'm going to enjoy the giddy feelings and drink in these special moments.

TGIF!

Fun times...

I had an unusually good weekend...lots of lucky shopping, laughs and good times.

Saturday I went to Target to get treats for Enzo and decided that I'd wander the store a bit since I had some free time. I actually found jeans that fit (and were on sale!), got a new backpack/purse for my trip to the Simply Southern Scrapbook Convention, http://www.simplysouthernscrapbook.com/, a couple new tops and some presents for John. Unbelievably good shopping for me! Then it was off to Wright's Farm for dinner - YUMMY! And we ended the night with John giving me a tour of Woonsocket and his "beat" from when he was on the police force there. Let's just say it was very interesting. Saw some things I hadn't seen before and will be OK not seeing again. But it was nice to get to see where he lived and worked for 13 years.

Sunday was apple picking day with my girls, DJ and Shelly. What a gorgeous day we had and all the kids were in good moods! The only "bad" part was that I forgot my camera in the car and didn't get any pictures of them actually picking the apples. Bummer! But we had a great time, picked about 40 lbs. of apples and stuffed ourselves with fresh kettle popcorn! Then it was off to meet John for lunch at McDonalds (part of the tradition), visit Grampa with all the kids - so good to see him smile and laugh with them - and a quick trip to PetCo and Michael's at the girls' request. And after all that, I parked myself on the couch and John and I watched TV and relaxed the rest of the day.

Life is good! Pictures of the fun to follow...

So many changes...

It's been a very interesting few months in so many ways. I know I can't cover it all, so I'll just give the highlights...

First and most important...there is now John. A man who was my best friend many years ago and who is my best friend again. There is a very cool story to go with this, but that 's for another time.

New furnace (ugh!!!) coming next week. Should be interesting to see how they get the old one out and the new one in. Remember, I live in the house that Bubba built. Seriously.

I finally got the desk from Pier1 that I've been drooling over for a couple years! Love it! And a really nice leather club chair from Target that fits my living room perfectly.

I blew a head gasket on the Tahoe. Enough said about that one.

Been struggling with my grandfather getting cancer (on top of his other health problems) and getting the right care for him. Not fun at all.

And struggling with the stupid things your family does when things like that happens. Somedays it's not so bad to be an only child I think.

Ok...gotta run for now. Be back soon. Really!

I think I'm back.  I just spent some time updating the look and my info so at least one new post is called for.  I'm still alive, st...
