Today has been such a hot and muggy day that I haven't wanted to leave the house. I practically had to drag myself out just to get the mail. I'm sure glad I did, though. Imagine my surprise as I'm flipping thought the bills and junk mail to find a package containing the brand spankin' new Angels compilation CD!!!! It's fabulous!! A million ( Read more... )

Bwahahahaha!!

I normally consider myself a *go with the flow* kind of person. There isn't much that rattles me outwardly and I'm able to brush off inconveniences pretty easily. Of course, that's not to say those inconveniences don't annoy me, but rather there's no point in getting worked up about things out of my control and taking my frustration out on * ( Read more... )

SPORXing seems so therapeutic that I thought I'd give it a try, especially since I've had some frustrating things happen today.

1. I'd like to SPORX both Publix and Kroger (grocery stores) not only for not carrying the Lemon-Lime Kool-Aid I needed to dye my yarn, but for forcing me to go to Wal-mart Supercenter to get it. I'd also like to ( Read more... )

That's the sound of me relaxing. It feels so good to finally get a chance to do that; the past few weeks have been so hectic that's it's nice to catch my breath. Today, I had the house to myself for the afternoon while Mac took Katie to the pool and I didn't have to do anything I didn't want to do. I did a little sewing, a little knitting, ( Read more... )

I had the pleasure of seeing PoA this afternoon. I won't offer a review, but rather some reflections.

( My thoughts )

What a trip! I'll try to keep it brief:

-For the drive out to Pennsylvania we split the drive over 2 days. On our way, we stopped at Luray Caverns in Luray, Virginia. Wow. I've visited numerous caverns and caves, but the stalactites and stalagmites formations never cease to amaze me. There was a beautiful lake in the cavern, only 6-8 inches ( Read more... )

I've decided that Emma Watson's dress from the PoA premiere is darling. I want it. However, I'm thinking that it can't be difficult to make, can it? I have some basic sewing skills, although I've failed miserably every time sewn something for myself. I also fear that I'll look ridiculous in that style of dress; like a 31 year old who is trying ( Read more... )

The Good:

1. Watched Peter Pan (finally). I thought it was WONDERFUL. I especially liked the young woman who played Wendy. She seemed to have the perfect mixture of innocence, curiosity and adventureness (which I'm perfectly aware is not a word, but nothing better is coming to mind at the moment ( Read more... )

Today is Katie's last day of school. It's hard to believe that it's over already. At the rate time seems to be passing, by she'll be graduating from high school by next fall. :D ( Read more... )
