Randon Tuesday Thoughts

*Oh how we miss Florida already!
*I am excited to start back to work tomorrow at a new job!
*I had my first "fill" today at my surgeons office.....down 6 more pounds this month!
*The above picture shows where we stayed during vacation and where we are thinking about buying!
*Of course it might be years before we have enough $$$!
*I am watching Monsters, Inc. and I always cry at the end!
*I have been kicking around the idea to have some girlfriends over for a fun jewelry making night!
*I have some new ideas kicking around in my head...he he he.
*I never would have thought I would miss my little one so much after being glued to her for weeks.....but I do! VERY much!
*Speaking of "little one". If she drags out any more toys to this living room I might be able to set up shop as a toy store! I think she missed her toys!
*My husband is thinking of quiting his job and staying home for awhile....hmmmmm, food for thought.
*If the heat is any indication of what we are in for this summer....it is going to be a HOT one here in southeast Missouri!
*I am wishing you all a great and happy week!

Home Sweet Home!

A FABULOUS time was had by all!

Tuesday Vacation Pictures

To Vacation......or NOT to Vacation?

Well, as of this morning the oil spill was 9 miles off the coast of Pensacola. Which just happens to be in the area of where we were going to vacation......Perdido Key. The oil trajectory model shows that it will hit Perdido Key June 5th......the day we are to arrive.

Vacation.......Where Are You Going?

Hello! We are trying to decide......and QUICK, I might add....where we want to go on vacation! It occurred to me that I go back to work June 16th so if we want a family vacation, we better hop to it! We are contemplating Pensacola/Perdido Key area (my favorite) or a Disney cruise.....which might be too complicated without having passports!

Where are you going or what are you all doing for your summer vacation? Got any great ideas, favorite places to go? Let me know! I could use some ideas! Thanks!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!

Happy 36th Birthday to me! Let me see.....lots of things on the agenda. First, after the 4th of July Holiday I will be doing a "Mother's Ring Jewelry Giveaway"! YEAHHHH!!! I know you are excited! Secondly, it is my birthday and all I can say is I woke up, I was serenaded by my sweet daughter with a fabulous rendition of Happy Birthday, I went to work, got my hair done after work , went shopping for a bathing suit (that was enough almost put me in the nearest hospital for anxiety and depression), we had a fabulous dinner from a FANTASTIC restaurant called 12 West, they have the most Divine Gooey Butter Cake.......yummmm......where was I? Oh, I received 2 beautiful cards from my husband with a gift card to the local boutique, and a dozen red roses that were HUGE!!!! Like the size of your fist huge! The one rose that was front and center in the bouquet was 3 feet tall....NO JOKE! HUGE! I had one of my sweetest little old lady patients in my office when they arrived and all she could say was......Wow, WOW!

3rd......I will be taking a little vacation for the 4th. My husband and one of his best friends will be flying to New York for a guys weekend/holiday retreat and my daughter and I will be heading to my mothers to meet up with my sister and her 2 boys. They are coming in from Oklahoma City after spending some time with my dad, but are originally from Olympia Washington. So, I will not be back until after the 8th of July. AND THEN.....I got ANOTHER summons in the mail today for jury duty.....AGAIN...for the 10th AND 11th........UGH! The one I had last week.....well, to put it nicely....IT SUCKED! 28 year old man accused of statutory sodomy of a 3 year old little girl.........Man.....what can you say? I hated the entire frickin' ordeal! You know the guy all over the news here today, Nicholas Sheley, killed that couple in Festus (amongst others), which is the town I used to work in......about 35 minutes form here........now there is a case I would want to be on. NOT any having to do with children. Made me sick! Blah!

Anyhoo.....on to more enjoyable topics.....I have 13 ring orders and 2 bracelet orders to get done before Thursday, packing for me and Madelyn, shopping for me and Madelyn, food shopping for her (with her food allergies I have to bring everything), clean house, do laundry, clean the car, pack the car, more shopping........blah blah blah.

I will return next week. Maybe the giveaway will lessen the sadness........as I know you will miss me as much as I will me you all! In the mean time, GO FORTH AND CREATE! Have a superb July 4th Holiday! Happy Birthday America! Oh, and one last thing. I have not kept in touch with too many people from high school, but one of my good friends from "back-in-the-day" had a birthday on July 4th and I always called him to wish him a happy birthday......well, we have not been in touch for over 15....almost 18 years. But every year I have ALWAYS thought of him at this time. So......Kevin Schroder.....wherever you are....Happy 36th Birthday to you! Miss you!

Many blessings! Take care and be safe!

Warmly,

Leslie
