He'll be four tomorrow.

Can you tell what he is *really* good at?

Don't judge me. It saves water and we were outside.
I have pictures of him doing it. But it shows his little bum. So I better not post that. Isn't he cute?

By the way, this was taken with my new camera. It came in tonight around 8:00. UPS delivers late. I had given up hope that it would be in today. It will be nice to have a camera in my purse again.

What's cookin' good lookin'?

What's for dinner tonight?

Asian Chicken and Noodles, here. It's a fave of mine and Mr. B's. The kids are wishy/washy on liking it. They are more than welcome to have some nasty canned ravioli if they prefer. *blech*

Tell me what you are having.

My Two Cents

I think that it is beyond tacky to use a glamor shot as an obituary photo.

Glamor shots are just tacky - - period.

There. I said it.

Good Morning!

At least I think it's good. Cameron is still snoozing (he's much like his mom) and Justin was up at the crack of dawn (much like his dad.) I am up because Justin is up.

I had so much fun at Bunco last night. I didn't realize how much I missed playing! They were a fun group of people. I knew a few of them and I met some new ladies.

I can't even begin to tell you how refreshing it was to play with them. They were - - nice. They were loud - - BUNCO!!! And nobody argued with me about table rotation. I was targeted in my old group because I was sort of the "founder." So, when someone didn't understand something, or had a problem, they came to me. It was usually stupid stuff too. And I think most of you know by now how low my threshold for stupidity is. About the same as pettiness. Take table rotation. One lady (in my old group) liked to pick fights with me every. single. time. over table rotation. It was insane. It got to the point where I wanted to replace her eyes with the bunco dice. I'll show you snake eyes... =] It was at that point that I decided it was in my best interest to step away.

Bunco should be fun. And it wasn't anymore.

Now it is again. And I really, really have missed it.

So - - to my new Bunco friends: thanks! I had a great time.

Be sure to read today's local paper...

My turn again. I want your honest feedback. Okay?

San Angelo Standard Times June 29th Article.

Please start discussion on the newspaper's site as well. It's helpful for them (the staff at the paper) to know that our articles are being read and (hopefully) enjoyed.

I'm excited. My second full article published. I think it's pretty cool.

Please comment here as well. I want your honest feedback. What kinds of stories do you want to read there? What kinds of stories do you want to hear from me specifically?

Thanks for going on this journey with me. I really hope it turns into something big someday.

Dreaming...

Tonight.

I joined a new group. It was so much fun!

I'll blog more tomorrow. Right now I *really* need to go fold those two loads of laundry I've been putting off.
I'm thinking a little Will & Grace whilst I fold.

This Girl...

This is what I worked on this afternoon. I got the layout idea from the January '09 issue of Scrapbook Trends.

The paper and flowers are by Making Memories, Sabrina Collection. The chipboard letters are Scenic Route. The brads are also by Making Memories. The font is called "I Love Derwin." I think I got it off of Kevin and Amanda's site. (This is my go-to place for tons of free fonts!)

The subject: my sweet niece, Kyndal. The picture was taken on the deck of my parent's cabin in New Mexico. If you click on the picture, you should be able to read the journaling.

Thanks for looking.

Kindy - - I miss you!!!

The Movie

I just read a movie spoiler for My Sister's Keeper. I didn't think it would be a big deal since I've read the book. I'm glad I read it.

They *totally* change the ending of the movie. That frustrates me. That ending is what made that book so good. I don't know if I want to see it at night now. It's only going to piss me off to pay full price for it when I could see it at a matinee. Anyone want to do a matinee sometime this week?

For those of you going Monday night - - I just don't know if I want to. What do you guys think? I still would like to see it. I'm just not as excited about seeing it now.

Redemption

Karen Kingsbury's book. Tell me I will like it more. I've read the first three chapters and I'm not too thrilled. It gave me a nightmare last night. I dreamed that Mr. B did the same thing that the husband did in the book. I woke up with chills! Tell me it gets better, please.

Ugh.

I should never have verbalized or typed my desire to go to church.

Satan attacked. Justin woke up sick this morning. I'm not kidding when I say that his face was *green*!!! He tried to throw up a few times, but nothing happened. No fever, no other complaints. Just nauseated. He did go to the bathroom this morning, which never happened yesterday. I suppose that could have caused the problem. I don't know. I guess he could have been backed up. He seems to be feeling better. He ate a couple of dry waffles and drank some gatorade. All without incident so far. He's asking for lunch.

Regardless, we didn't get to go to church. I won't lie. I'm disappointed. And I'm sure it was an awesome sermon. I can listen to it online. But when I do that, I miss the praise and worship time. I love being led to the throne through praise.

We are going to take it easy today. No sense rocking the boat. We were going to go swimming. I just don't think that being out in the heat is such a good idea.

So, we stay inside today and enjoy the a/c.

The Fruits of my Saturday Labor

I didn't do anything extreme today. I stayed pretty busy though.

Luckily, Mr. B let me sleep in. He always gripes about it, but he never comes and wakes me up either. =)

In summary, this is what I did:

Folded and put away two loads of laundry (there are two more yet to be folded),
Tended to the pile by the phone in the kitchen (hello Mr. Shredder),
General kitchen duties,
Cleaned both bathrooms,
Swept the kitchen,
Cleaned off the counters in the kitchen,
Wiped down the front of the fridge with bleach,
and Washed and dried the car booster seat covers.

Nothing earth shattering. Or very visible. But I feel pretty happy with it.

I can't remember what all I listened to on my iPod. I do remember hearing several Michael Jackson songs. I don't care what your opinion is/was of him as an individual. I figure it's not my place to judge. What I do know is that he was the "Elvis" of my generation. I was surprised by his death. It definitely took my breath away. Have I lost sleep over it? No. Have I cried? No. Do I think the man sang some awesome stuff? Hell yes.

Oh - - another "celeb" issue I have. Jon and Kate. *eyeroll* They brought this crap on themselves. How would I act with a camera on me 24/7? I don't know. Because I'm not fool enough to put myself in that position. (I would like to point out that I've watched, in total, about 15 minutes of this show. Total.) They annoy me. They are so mean to each other. So petty. Her making him get hairplugs. Him going out to the bar with co-eds. It's ridiculous. They basically pimped their kids out for profit. For freebies. I wonder if it was worth it. It never would have been for me. I know some of you readers are fans. Fine with me. I'm not trying to step on your toes. To each his own... I feel sorry for those kids. They didn't ask for any of this.

Okay. I need to get to bed. Early, I know. I really want to go to church tomorrow. We've been very bad lately. And - - I just *want* to go. If these silly boys would just go to sleep already...

Ciao.

Cleaning Today

I was a slacker most of the week. So I'm paying for it today.

Anyone else cleaning? Post here if you are. Post again when you are finished and let me know what all you got done. I'll post later tonight and tell you what all I've accomplished today.

Mr. B is outside polishing up the vehicles. Mine was in serious need of it. My guess is that this is the extra shove the clouds need to make it rain. If that's all it takes, we'll take it. It is SO dry. Just no thunderstorms.

Well, happy cleaning. As happy as it gets. I had a movie on to clean. But it was too distracting. Back to the iPod. I'll post some kind of play list later. Music inspires me. I need some inspiration.

Cheers.

Sun Kissed and Lesson Learned

We spent a good part of the day at the pool. Some friends invited us to join them at the swim and raquet club. It was nice. I got some color today. And I spent most of the day in the shade. I guess those few times I dipped in the water to cool off got me.

Justin had a rough time at the end of the day. Most of you that know him - - you know that he doesn't have a mean bone in his body. In fact, he can be pretty sensitive.

So, imagine my surprise when he came over to be BAWLING. Was he hurt? Did someone hurt his feelings? What? He just cried and cried and said that he wanted to go home. Finally, another mom (who I sort of know) came over to me to tell me what happened.

Justin was being Justin. He wasn't paying attention to his surroundings, got excited and jumped in. Only, he jumped in on top of a little girl. I never saw it. Apparently it was bad enough that the lifeguard jumped in. Nobody was hurt. But it scared the ever-livin' out of the little girl, her mom, etc. The lifeguard was pretty hard on Justin and told him he had to sit out for a little while. The mom was very cool about it. She came over to make sure Justin was okay. She didn't want to ruin his fun. I thought that was so sweet.

I understand that he needed to be disciplined about the situation. He needs to be pay attention to his surroundings. Good lesson. With that said - - the lifeguard must have been pretty rough for Justin to cry like that. He wanted to leave right then. He was afraid everyone at the pool was mad at him.

It broke my heart. I wasn't able to piece the whole thing together until after we'd left. Otherwise, I might have mentioned something to the lifeguard. No - - I would have said something.

Sensitive little guy. PETA would love him. He wouldn't hurt a fly.

He wants to sleep with me tonight. Mr. B is already asleep with Cam in his room. I say - - bring on the snuggling. While I can still get some from him. I know my days are numbered.

Finished a Page

I finally finished this one today. It's hard to see some of the details. The paper is that Scenic Route grid paper. It is inked in orange around the edges of the paper. It just didn't scan well. The arrow and the phrase are from SR, also. I cut the "jump" letters on my Cricut using the Sure Cuts A Lot software.

Fiesta Texas Video

It took lots of convincing to get Justin to ride this. Once he rode, he was addicted. Just like we knew he would. Cam rode it several times with his hands in the air the whole time. Justin would wait to raise his hands when he knew it was safe.

Fiesta Texas

It was FUN!!

At first, Justin stressed us out because he was being such a weenie. He didn't want to ride anything. This is the same kid who (two years ago) rode anything he was tall enough to ride. I finally made him ride the log ride with me and he was sold. We rode rides all day Friday and until the water park opened on Saturday. Then we spent the rest of the day there.

I added an entire album to our family website. Go take a look there. It would take forever to add the pictures here. Be sure to click on the thumbnail and view the caption with each picture. Then just hit the arrow at the top and scroll through the pics.

We hit the wave pool first and I was stupid brave enough to take my camera (the small point and shoot) out in the water with me and snap a few shots. Mr. B got onto me because I didn't have the strap around my wrist at the time. I rolled my eyes and put the strap on. Because I'm not a total idiot, I left the water after a few pics and put the camera up.

Flash forward to later in the afternoon. We moved our "camp" over to the area where the big hat dumps water on you. Cam decided he wanted to go play in a smaller kiddie area with tiny slides. So Mr. B took him over there. With the camera. I stayed back with Justin.

When he came back, the look on his face said it all. These were his words, "I dropped the camera and it's broken."

Imagine me standing there with my mouth all agape.

"What?"

He said he had the strap on and it broke. He showed it to me. It clearly broke. All I could think of was the irony. He'd made me put the strap on. And then it failed him. I never, repeat NEVER, let the camera just dangle. I always have my hand on it. The strap is an extra safety measure. The strap broke and the camera went crashing down, in the "on" position, into water about three inches deep. Ruined. Forever ruined. Luckily, those memory cards are tough and we didn't lose any pictures.

However, we were done taking pictures at this point.

He had already been talking about ordering me a new one before the weekend anyway. So, he didn't hesitate to order a new one when we got home. I wish it would hurry up and get here. I stayed with Canon. I got the PowerShot SD1200 IS Digital. In pink. (Of course.) He found a really good deal on it and it had some free extras. I'll let you know how it works out when it finally arrives.

I gave David a hard time about it. In a kidding way. I'm way more "chill" about things than he is. I told him to admit that if I'd done it, he'd be pretty mad. He "kind of" admitted it. If it had been a brand new camera, I'm sure he'd have been sick over it. I kept telling him that it was a good thing he put that strap on. *giggle*

All in all, it was a great weekend. We went to Chuck E. Cheese on Sunday and played for about an hour. Then we drove to Kerrville and had lunch at a Mexican food restaurant there. It was GOOD!

Go look at the pictures. Then come back here and tell me which one is your favorite. After a few comments, I'll tell you which one is my favorite.

The Joys of the eXtra X Chromosome

Better day?

It has started out better. One problem. At 3:00 this afternoon, I have get to go do that annual thing that all women LOVE to do. Good times.

A Lesson

Never walk through your living room when it's dark and you are pissed off.

I am going to have one heck of a bruise on my right thigh in the morning. That end table has been there for a while now. Yet somehow, I managed to forget that fact. No - - the table isn't round. It has four corners. And my leg met up with one of the four in some sort of secret rendezvous that I wasn't informed of. Otherwise, I would have discouraged the meeting.

*wimper*

Teaches me to let a few sarcastic remarks affect me in such a manner. I will now have a visual and painful reminder of my mental state.

Fan-freakin-tastic.

Oh and Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars don't feel too bueno either. Several of them. Lined up in formation for some form of a sneak attack.

Ouch.

I'm going to fold a load of clothes and then go to bed.

Fixed?

I understand that the issue with blogger has been fixed. Are things normal on your end? How did you hit my site? You can use either. I'd just like to know if it is truly fixed.

Type in this: www.beckitasblog.blogspot.com and see where it takes you. Hopefully it doesn't fail anymore.

I'll tell you about our weekend tomorrow. I still have to pull pictures off of memory cards. (Good times.) Long story about that. You'll get a kick out of it. I did.

Until then.

*smooches*

Issues with Blogger

Here's the deal:


Starting Tuesday, Google / Blogger erroneously started inserting a redirect warning for visitors of my old blogspot address, instead of redirecting the old blogspot URL to the new URL. This is a sytem wide problem, impacting many blogs using the redirect feature from blogspot.

Blogger engineers are working on the problem.

For Firefox users, you will see a redirect warning. Safari and Internet Explorer users are told the site no longer exists.

Great. Just - - great.

You still see me.

I haven't left blogger. I still use blogger for all of my editing, posting, etc. They just don't host me anymore. You are being directed to my own domain name now. You can get to me both ways. My new domain name is www.beckybray.me. The other one, the one I've had for a while now, is www.beckitasblog.blogspot.com. Both of those work and will take you to the same blog that's been up for a long time.

About a month ago, Mr. B found a private domain name for me and asked if I wanted it. It's hosted on our server, so, I have more room for pictures, etc. Then, someday, if blogger does something I don't like, I'm set up all on my own. It's a contingency plan. And, it's more personal. And - - just easier to tell people how to find me. What do you need to do if you have me linked? Nothing. Unless you want to. Some people are being re-directed by blogger and it's caused some people to be wary and not click "yes." It's okay. I promise. I'm going to try to contact blogger and see if they'll approve me as not spam.

Until then, keep reading.

I realize I'm preaching to the choir here. If you've found me, you are set. Just in case someone you know mentions it, tell them it's okay and I'm not spam.

Is all of that about as clear as muddy water?

A new read.

After the emotional roller-coaster I was just on with my last book, I decided to change my direction this time. I'm going political. I bought Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny." It's been very interesting so far. I really like listening to him on XM.

Then, I think I'm going to finally read that Karen Kingsbury series that Kim let me borrow.

For Father's Day - - I bought David this:


He's enjoyed it so far. I may pick it up and read entries occasionally. I will read it all eventually. Lots on my summer reading list.

(I told my "Progressive" *giggle* friends to expect the worst. I wasn't kidding, was I? Still love me?)

My Sister's Keeper - - I finished.

Has anyone else read this?

Holy cow.

I finished it last night at the hotel. I sobbed. I mean it. I cried hard. It was gripping. As a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister... It tugged on the emotions of every role I play in my life. It is an emotional read and has an UNBELIEVABLE ending.

The movie opens June 26th. I will go see it. And I won't be embarrassed one bit about taking an entire box of kleenex with me. I can't wait to see how they bring the pages to life. I'm thinking about a Sunday afternoon matinee. Anyone interested? Johnna, is that do-able for you?

A Confession

I cannot believe I'm about to admit this.

I *love* iCarly. That show cracks me up. My boys have been watching it. Justin has a thing for Sam, because she's crazy. Cam likes Carly. Cute, huh? And Spencer? Well, he's mine.

I cannot believe that I just admitted that I watch this show. Please don't lose all respect for me.

I also watch Jackass. I like to keep things diverse.

My Sister's Keeper

I am still reading this and getting into some good stuff. I'll likely finish it tomorrow. I want to go see the movie when it comes out. Any locals down for that? Mr. B will absolutely NOT go.

My Dem/Lib friends are gonna LOVE what I'm reading next. *giggle* Just promise me you'll still love me. I won't go on and on about it here. Okay, maybe the occasional dig. But I'll be nice. :p

Okay - - laundry beckons. Well that and spilled lemonade in my kitchen. The sugar ants LOVE spilled lemonade. *eyeroll*

Happy (Early) Birthday, Spotsy!!!

We were tired of him whining over not being able to play Justin's DS. Justin lets him play some, but not often. So, we decided to remedy that. And why give it to him early? (His birthday is July 1st.) Because - - we leave for San Antonio tomorrow. One DS = one happy kid and three other unhappy people. Two DS's = two happy kids AND two happy parents. It's a win/win.

This morning I went and got Nerf protectors for them. I feel much better about their safety now. Those little machines are expensive!

Anyway, here is a picture of Cam getting his DS last night...

Mom is great....

...she made us chocolate cake.

Well, it was white vanilla cake (from a box) with homemade chocolate frosting. It was quite the hit around here today.

Justin: This is *so* good, Mommy.

Cam: Mommy, I like chocolate.
(You think? He was licking the plate.)

If only they cleared their dinner plates as well.

The conclusion? Two thumbs up!!

You know what bites? No milk. We ran out of milk and I now I can't have chocolate cake and milk for breakfast in the morning. I'm even out of half and half. *gasp* No coffee either. (I don't do black. *giggle* Seriously. I never have. But from what I hear...) All kidding aside. My coffee has to have liquid creamer (preferably half and half) and sugar. That's the rule. I haven't been to Starbucks in ages. And - - I can go there in my jammies. Hmmmm...

VBS Highlight Video

This was the work of several GMBC VBS volunteers. I think they did a great job. Take a look...

The Fruits of Saturday's Scrapping

I had a blast. I did more talking than I did scrapping. (It happens when I'm with my friends!) I did get a couple of fast and easy layouts done.

This first one was simple. I used white Bazzill Cardstock and a Fancy Pants overlay. I clipped them together with the white heart clips at the top. That is all! That's my Moe!



I am ashamed to admit that I found this picture at the bottom of a stack of stuff in my old scrapbook closet. The picture had been damaged a little. Shame on me!!! It's a black and white of me and Cam. It's on patterned paper, matted on a teal colored patterned paper and then scallop punched around the edges, then matted on white cardstock to make it pop. Way easy. Way fast. Way - - done.

Oh, what I wouldn't give to spend the the day holding him like this. Given that he's about to turn four, I don't think it would work out too well for me. Although, he is my cuddler...


I'm feeling quite creative now. I'm ready to work on something a little more difficult. First, some minor chores around here. Make the beds, fold a TON of laundry and mop the kitchen floor. When I'm done, I will reward myself with scrapping.

Now that I know how to scan these, I'll show you more. If you are interested. I guess if you're not, you don't have to look!! :p

Have a blessed day.

Tonight - - I get to scrap.

Check out this AWESOME page Yoda did for me.

Not only is she uber-talented - - she *gets* me and my insane love for this beverage. Yoda, you rock. I can't wait to play tonight.

VBS - Day Five

It was fun. Lots of fun.

What did I learn? I learned that 5th grade is NOT where I belong. I had a rough time with the talking back, smart mouthing and overall cockiness. Sadly, it was the boys. The girls were great. I think there is something about the boys in that age group. Tweens. They are coming into their own. Trying hard to establish where they are in the pecking order. Trying like crazy to be "cool." What I determined is that there needs to be more adult men helping with that age group. For sure. I think it would have made a huge difference. We had a male teacher. But sadly, he was deployed on Wednesday. (Can I add him to my prayer request list?) His wife was a teacher with us. I felt so sorry for her that day.

I missed the younger children. I wanted to be with them so bad. I kept sneaking over to Justin and Cameron's areas during various times in the day. I wanted to see them soaking up the fun. I shot a great video today. Well, the quality stinks, but the stuff I got was priceless. It sums up how I feel about the praise and worship time. Have I mentioned that I LOVE it? When I have, oh, I don't know, a spare hour - - I'll try to upload it.

Until then, here is a picture of the three of us.

VBS - Day Four

Had a great day. We had the salvation service this morning. Several workers stood at the front of the church as they had an invitation.

I had the privilege of talking to a beautiful little girl who asked Jesus to come live in her heart. That girl knew her stuff. It was awesome. I love that God allowed me to be a part of her experience.

"A" had a better day. Whew. Please keep praying for him.

God is good ALL the time.

We had family night tonight. Justin wanted to sit with me and the 5th graders instead of his class. Okay. It was fun doing the praise and worship time with him. And then... the slideshow started. He *flipped* out when his picture popped up on the screen. Not in a good way. He was beyond embarrassed. His shyness astounds me. Still. We had to leave early. He was *that* upset.

He's fine now.

Little turkey.

I have a bit of a headache. So I'm taking a shower and going to begin the chillaxing process. One more day to go...

VBS - Day Three

*Warning* This is not a fluff post at all.

Today broke my heart. Into a thousand little pieces.

There is a little boy in my class who I'm simply going to call, "A." I've known him since he was in the four year old class. He's my buddy. My sweetheart. I hug him every time I see him.

Today, "A" was not himself. He was uncooperative, disobedient and just downright unresponsive. I tried everything. I thought he was just being a tween. I pulled him aside to talk to him in private. He wouldn't say hardly anything. And then it happened. The thing that was bugging him came out and he just completely broke down. I'm talking about a 5th grade (soon to be 6th grade) boy - - sobbing.

It makes me cry just to type this story.

I told him that he was never too big to sit in my lap. He climbed up into my lap, wrapped his arms around me and just sobbed. His heart was breaking over a family situation. He was absolutely torn up inside and I think he'd just about had it.

Divorce is hard on kids. Super hard. They are literally (and physically) being pulled in two different directions. It takes a toll.

I hope I was a bright spot in his crappy little day. I tried really hard to be.

Please pray for "A" and his family. He is my sweetie. And my heart breaks as his family has to make some big decisions about their future. My heart breaks because I see how it is tearing him up. I just want him to feel peace and comfort with some decisions that are being made for him.

He deserves the best.

VBS - Day Two

My favorite picture of the day. Thanks, Dad!!

VBS - Day One

Cam and Justin in front of one of the cool pictures.

My Dad snapped this one of Justin. VBS Rocks!!!!

My sweet Cam.

Busy week.

VBS starts tomorrow.

I have to be there, with my children, by 8:00 a.m. Seriously. Dressed, fed, teeth brushed, and out the door by 7:50.

How many of you just fell out of your chairs laughing?

How am I ever going to do it? For five days straight? It's after midnight. I was going to go to bed at 10:00. Then the stupid basketball game went into overtime. I had to pause Army Wives to catch the end of the game.

Then, just as I was getting tucked in, both boys woke up. They wanted to sleep with us. Not just no. But, well... NO!!!!! I'm sick of them pulling this crap on us. After much tears and angst, they were back in their bed. I think they are finally asleep. Oye.

So - - I shall go to bed now. I think it's all clear.

I'll let you know how Day One goes tomorrow. I LOVE VBS. Ironically, I hate craft time though. I have my reasons.

Oh, by the way, great reunion. GREAT!!! I'll tell you more about it later. Right now, I'm thinking the alarm for me to wake up is going to sound before too long. I've got to get some rest.

Have a blessed Monday.

Back - - sort of.

Have you guys missed me?

I have basically felt like total doo for the past week. I had a migraine last Friday. Then a minor headache earlier this week followed up with another migraine that hit last night. It. Has. Sucked. I woke up at 3:30 this morning and thought I was DYING! It hurt so bad. I seriously wanted someone to club me over the head and put me out of my misery.

I woke Mr. B up and told him. I feel bad for waking him up. He told me to take some of my meds here and we'd go from there. I took my phen for the nausea and a pain pill. I didn't wake up again until 2:30 this afternoon. Needless to say, I've felt quite out of it ever since.

Now - - Mr. B feels achy and is running a fever. Aaaaacccckkkk!

My 20th high school reunion is tomorrow. I don't think I'll be spending a lot of time there. I'll go for a little while. There are several people I can't wait to see. But - - the thought of being out in the heat makes me nervous. Each migraine this week has been right after an afternoon out in the sun.

So - - I'm taking it easy for now. As much as I can with two wild little indians running around this house! I think they are finally falling asleep. Whew.

We are a pitiful bunch around here.

My Super Powers

Today, I have decided to use them for good instead of evil.

Crap.

Think rain. Just - - rain. Maybe a little thunder. That's all.

Could someone tell me...

...if hell just froze over? I was up and at 'em at 7:30 this morning.

I'm about to have my second cup of coffee already.

Could strange things be in store for today?

Here's what I've been up to. Busy week! My 20th high school reunion is this weekend. 20 years. I can't believe it. I've been catching up with a few of my old classmates on Facebook. Several of them I can't wait to see. There are a few that I'm a little nervous about. Mostly my own insecurity. Some people were pretty cruel in high school. I would hope that most of them have grown out of it.

Anyway, we are supposed to take pictures of things in our lives over the past 20 years. So, I bought a small photo album from Hobby Lobby yesterday and today I begin the process of uploading pictures to Sam's Club for print. I'm limited to 200. Sounds like a lot. Just ten pictures from each year, right? Huge task!

I also volunteered to put together some 80's music for the day. I have several cd's to make.

On top of that - - I have to cut out 50 leaves for VBS decoration on Sunday.

Yeah. Nothing to do. *eyeroll*

I better get busy. The kids want to swim today. So I need to take advantage of my downtime. My blogging may be minimal in the interim. Sorry.

Have a beautiful Tuesday!

Hi.

I'm gonna go watch Will & Grace now. I just thought you should know.

I'll check in tomorrow.

*smooches*
