On the bottom of the Lolita Martini Glass I bought my step mom for Mother’s Day;

I woke and decided to try and shake off the bad day I had yesterday. It’s a beautiful morning and a new day and I am determined to make it a good one.
Hey, it’s my birthday. I woke to kisses from my Allison and Roxy and walked in to the office and found a gift and my favorite bagel on my desk.
How sweet is that!?
Go ahead and watch these two videos and just try not to laugh or crack a smile.
This post is dedicated to my good friend Uncle Vito who was struggling with a bad mood this morning. I hope this helps.
What a nice weekend I just had. Friday night I had had my granddaughter over to play. She is so sweet and just a joy to spend time with. I think this (9mo) is my favorite age. Every time I have her over she is doing some thing new.
Then Saturday afternoon my sister and I took the kids to Hallmark for the big Webkinz Extravaganza. Where they each played games and had fun and came home with a couple more Webkinz.
After that I went out for a little shopping and came home with a couple of tops for work and a couple more casual tops for summer. Thank you Sears, buy one get one free sale! I really needed them. Then the three of us headed to my sisters house and enjoyed a night of pizza, drinks and geeky play. The men on their PS3’s, kids watching movies and playing with their Webkinz and us ladies in the kitchen hanging out on line, listening to music and relaxing together. As always it was a good time. My wonderful sister also surprised me with not only the perfect card but these super cute shoes for my birthday. Are they not the cutest Vans ??? They have little basset hounds on them!
Yesterday morning Gerry and I finished hanging our new bedroom curtains that I just love. They really add some color to the room.
Then we spent some time and went out for a nice dinner with my parents. They just got back from five days in Vegas and three months in Florida a few days before that. So it was a lot of fun to listen to all of their stories over a nice meal. Any time I get to spend with them is fun. I am very blessed with wonderful happy parents who I love to spend time with.
It’s so nice to be able to blog about such a great weekend! And the fun isn’t over yet ! We have plans to be at my mom’s tomorrow right on my birthday for dinner so my step dad can barbeque for me. Yum ! And when the weekend rolls around again, I have dinner and drinks planed with my sister just the two of us . So I have that to look forward to. Seriously, could I be any more lucky?
I just opened our escrow statement for the year and I can’t believe it our house payment finally went down some. Down to $1268.00 a month! After paying $1500.00 for the past year to cover a mistake in the escrow, this is great news. All the more reason to enjoy a few drinks tonight! Whoo hoo !
I am so glad today is Friday. In a couple of hours I will out of the office and ready for my weekend to begin. I have a lot of plans for the next couple of days. Including spending time with family, including my granddaughter, tonight my sister, her husband and my handsome nephew tomorrow. Then on Sunday we have dinner plans with my parents. Which I am really looking forward to and some where in there we plan to fit in more of the yard work we started last night and tearing off some of our wallpaper. Wow, my weekend sure sounds busy but as long as it’s time with the people you love busy can be good.
A couple of funny pics of Rebecca in her Underground hat from London.
After a great time last night at “girls night” I woke to a beautiful day here in my hood. I had all of our blinds and windows open since the crack of dawn. Even the hound is enjoying the nice morning. She has been out side chasing squirrels out of our yard for about three hours now. So far, I have read a nice email from my mom and Allison telling me what a great time they are having in London, cleaned the living room, showered and whipped up a yummy batch of blueberry muffins. My house smells so good right now. I love these kind of mornings. Life is good.
My boss just walked in my office and said “Hey Jenn, lets shut things down at 3:30 today”.
I looked at him and said very maturely, “sure, things have been pretty quiet today. I can do that”.
In my head I am doing a high five and screaming YES !
Now, not only do I get to start my weekend an hour early but I get to go home and see my husband before he leaves for work tonight.
Then, let’s hear it for girls night ! Yes!
Want to know what soft drink I tried over the weekend that has me saying OMG this is so flippin’ good ! ?
..... follow me and i’ll tell ya.…
Homegirl is going to party!
I am hosting a candle party tonight at my house. I am not sure how I got suckered into it but I might as well make it fun.
