So our bags are packed and I am guessing we are ready to go. As always, when traveling, I am feeling a bit of apprehension, but I am sure that will pass. Heck pop an Ambien CR and at least I will get to sleep.

I am panicky about traveling with Joshy, who doesn't sit still for one second much less three hours. But, it will be fine.

Have a great week,

Almost ready, I think

Had a nice Saturday yesterday. We took Joshy to the Largo park where they run the FREE choo choo's once per month. The lil guy was in his GLORY! I must also add that it is one of the nicest playgrounds that I have ever been too. The ONLY drawback was the heat. OMG was it HOT. Then we took him over to Nanny's house and dh and I had a well deserved and MUCH needed grown up dinner at Carrabba's. YUM. It was nice to NOT have to chase him around the place.

I am trying to pack for Colorado and get everything situated before my class tomorrow and our flight on Tues morning. LOTS of laundry to do. DH took lil guy out for awhile so hopefully, I can finish up what I need to.

Have a great Sunday.

stuff

Classes for the Crop are getting organized and I must admit-I am getting xcited .....I LUV all of the planning and watching it all fall into place.

Amanda is working on her "theme" for her paper bag class. Stacey is working on her chipboard album class. Here is a link to the cover.........http://sos-brainfreeze.blogspot.com/2007/06/whats-next.html

I am working with Elle to plan something fantabulous.

BB8 was fun last night. I already luv and hate it. So, you KNOW it is going to be a great summer when they can do that on the first episode. LOL.

So glad it is Friday again. Then I get dh to help out and we can do some fun family stuff. Hopefully, he can take the lil guy somewhere for awhile so that I can attempt to pack. Putting stuff into a suitcase while Joshy takes it OUT is most unproductive and we have an EARLY flight on Tuesday so this will be my only shot.

Have a great weekend everyone.

BB 8

Life is good and summer is surely here cause BIG BROTHER 8 begins tonite. Woo hoo.
Sad that a television show can make me so happy-lol, but that show just cracks me up.

Can't wait!

MS Crop for Hope

So, I realize that September will be here before we know it and that is starting to freak me out just a bit.

I have the design for the t-shirts and let me tell you, Betsy and Jim got into my head and made them xactly as I had pictured. I am very xcited about that. All the girls that responded to my color of shirts post have helped to narrow down the decision. I am going to get them ordered soon. I am a bit nervous about how many to order-don't want to have too many that they sit in my garage until next year and then, I don't want to run out either. Decisions Decisions. LOL.

The donations are plentiful, yet registrations are still lacking. The very same thing happened last year when they all started pouring in at the end. But, I don't mind adding that I am getting a bit nervous about it all.

Joshy has been a really good boy lately. It is kinda nice. I am so enjoying my time with him this summer. He has become a real little person, with a quick wit and always smiling. I KNOW my dad would be so proud.

Okay, off to figure out what we are going to do for the 4th. The weather is not going to cooperate I can already tell. Oh well.

Happy Birthday USA. Everyone be safe!!

Tuesday Tuesday

I had a really nice day today. I still have NOT touched my scrapbox. Perhaps someone, anyone, PUHLEEZE can "borrow" a cute lil blonde kiddo and take him somewhere, anywhere away from here so I can attempt to get started on organizing...............HELP.

Spent the better part of the day floating in Aunt Sue's pool. I need to get one of those-soon. I have one estimate from last year and I am going to call a couple other companies and get some more so I can have this hole dug back here. I MEAN it.

I also gave in and bought a laptop today. I had to order it from Office Depot and it should be here about the time we return from our trip out to Colorado and South Dakota.

Other than all that, life is good. I am going to go attempt to get this room in some kind of order. Okay who am I kidding, I won't do that. LOL.

DH is off tomorrow, so hoping the weather holds out to do something like Adventure Island, Busch Gardens or the like. We have passes and to the Aquarium and zoo too. We are going to pass on going to fireworks. It is just toooooooo damn hot for me to not be in water and out in the heat. Makes me feel icky. Plus, Joshy is still at the age where he is scared to death of them, does NOT like loud noises.

I am dying to go to RR this week. Anyone up for a road trip????????? LMK

AHHH Paradise

So, I was birthday napped this last weekend and taken to Sanibel Island........true PARADISE.

When John and I first started dating 5 years ago, he took me to the West Wind Inn on Sanibel. I think that is where we both realized this was "it". What a beautiful hotel, setting, everything.
We made reservations to go back in August before Joshy was born. It was to be our last vacation without a kiddo. Well a little storm named Charley cancelled that trip as the hotel received MAJOR damage and had to undergo some major renovations.

For whatever reasons-life mainly, it has taken us this long to go back. We went back with some reservations as to what the island would be like after being hit by the storm, but I am so very happy to report, it is even more magnificent.

From the room, to the view, to the beach, sand, shells, pool, nice people we met, the weather, fishing, you name it.........oh the boat ride and dolphins playing "tag with the boat". Could not have asked for a better birthday gift.

A true delight and photos to scrap. YEAH!!
