Opinion time!! Okay - so here's my debate .... daybed vs twin bed. It's for my extra room that's currently an office/sporting good storage/second closet. I hear daybeds are hard to make - any opinions or tips on that? Just thinking that maybe my lack of extra beds is the reason why visitors are so few and far between. If you have any other opinions or ideas as to why that might be - keep those to yourself - this is just open forum on which kind of bed to get! ;-) smirk
So I've been blog-jumping, following links from one friend's blog to another, to another, to another, until I'm looking at blogs of people I don't know, and I was seeing this recurrent theme of "all about the kids." Rather than having my blog be entirely about the wonder-nephews, I'll try to spice it up for those of you who live vicariously through my adventures. So my latest profound discovery about myself ... I hope you're all sitting down .... SHOES AREN'T MY GREATEST WEAKNESS!! Nope, I have come to realize that bags/purses/wristlets/?? are my greatest weakness! I really don't even want to add them all up and put the number out there but ... last week I went into the hospital gift shop for some candy and walked out with a purse instead! Maybe I'll take some pictures of purses and post them :-) Next trip, unless something else comes up before then ... Edmonton!
Greetings from Montana. I enjoyed my first skiing day of the year although I am once again going through this frustrating, painful routine of "Which socks are the ones that don't hurt?" Darn bony legs! Anyhow, it was great to ski with Debbie again and to realize that I didn't forget all the neat stuff she taught me. Day 1 is done, now I need some drugs and some sleep!!! Day 2 and 3 update - the drugs didn't work.... ow... this is so undignified!!
So after all that rah rah be happy stuff ... let me follow up with the details about my best Valentine's Day EVER (so far)! I GOT ALL SORTS OF HUGS AND KISSES from some hot little blonde guys (I think one of them may have had a fever) :-) I got a call from Jonathan telling me they were heading this way and would be in Spokane on Friday. As luck would have it, I had Friday off, so I took off after work, lickity-split, for Spokane and we met up just east of Coeur D'Alene at a timeshare place. It was so fun to see the boys and see how big they've gotten, and hear all the words Bowdrie knows. Over breakfast Bowdrie told me I'm funny, and this afternoon he told me he loved me. Awww ... I am loved!
Musings and thoughts.... It's amazing how many thoughts can go floating through your head while frosting cupcake after cupcake. That's how I spent part of my evening ... thinking about why I love holidays so much and thinking about Valentines Day tomorrow. I had great plans to bake all these cupcakes and then spend some quality time curling my hair with my magic curling iron. Unfortunately I fell asleep while waiting for the cupcakes to cool so I am now out of time for the hair so I have to get up really early tomorrow and get curling. I celebrated Valentines Day a day early ... doing all the self-indulgent things I wanted to do. I'm most delighted with the eyebrow waxing lady I just went to today after work. She's definately an artist! She did a wonderful job and it was a wonderful way to kick off the next few days! One of my thoughts was about holidays and if maybe I missed my calling as, oh I don't know, an elementary school teacher? I just love holidays, ...
