Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! I hope you had a fantastic day with friends and family. Things were pretty quiet here with just us and my mom. Food was good and it was nice to have some time to relax, but I do miss the huge family gatherings.

I've been having way too much fun on Holiday Wishes. Argh - I forgot how to link. I need more sleep. Anyway its featured on the LJ startup page. Mine hasnt posted yet, but I've been able to grant about seven so far. I knew there was a reason I kept some of that stuff. :) If anyone has free time - check it out. Lots of people just want cards ( Read more... )

After nights and nights of not getting a good nights sleep - I finally had a deep relaxing night. And an excellent dream. :) Not something I'm going to share, but it was very comforting ( Read more... )

The one bad thing about booking a last minute flight is that it appears the airlines then mark you as an automatic extra security check. Both flights we were all pulled aside for special screening. Nothing like taking a toddlers shoes and then leaving seperating him from his mom. True, he could stay with my husband, but he didnt understand why ( Read more... )

Well our whirlwind trip to Atlanta is nearing an end. I'm exhausted. Next vacation I'm spending on a beach somewhere with someone bringing me drinks with umbrellas. and oh yeah, the kids are staying home. Great kids, but VERY hard to have a relaxing day trying to entertain a teen and a toddler. Maybe 2 is not the best age to travel. : P he ( Read more... )

Well, went to my first pub crawl last night. So today I'm exhausted. It was fun. A combination pub crawl, murder mystery and letterboxing event. Each pub had a suspect we had to interview and get dna/fingerprints and their personal stamp. Some required a drink to loosen their tongues. The Incan needed kisses from all the girls. After we had ( Read more... )

I'm so burnt out today. I think I need a vacation. I've been trolling around the sales to see whats out there. Atlanta, GA has some good deals. Not to mention alot of letterboxing. :) I havent been there yet. Bermuda looks promising but I'm worried about the cost of eating. Everyone says how expensive it is. Mayan Riviera also darn ( Read more... )

Sigh. I've really got to find an alternate babysitter in the area. We've always had my mom do it but more and more schedules clash or she's just not able to watch them on a certain night and we keep missing stuff we really want to do. : / Sometimes we just take the kids with us, but a letterboxing pub crawl really isnt kid friendly! Maybe ( Read more... )

Well, I'm not really into Halloween mode yet, but I am psyched about this weekend. We're doing the Make a Wish Foundation Scavenger Hunt again. Last years was tons of fun and this year my moms watching the kids so we might be able to get to a few more of the interactive challenges and enjoy the post hunt buffet at Outback. The kids were beat last ( Read more... )

The vow renewal was perfect. Just what we'd wanted, but way too quick. Thankfully the rain stopped just long enough for the ceremony. I really truly, did not want to have it indoors! My dress fit! Woohoo!! Not even trouble zipping the silly thing. : D ( Read more... )
