Now that summer is coming here are some things I want to celebrate the season.
LOVE this bag!
Always need cute shoes like this for summer.
Skirts are a staple in the summer heat.
I love watches.
So my girls got together and threw me a fabulous little bridal shower last night. We were supposed to meet for dinner for the one’s birthday and it ended up being a surprise for me. They are awesome and I don’t know what I’d do without them.
I received a couple lingerie gifts – E liked those, and a few things off my registry. As much as I love gifts…just the thought, the love, the laughs…that is what I appreciate most.
I had such a good time and was only mildly embarrassed when the waiter caught me holding up one of the gifts. Wine is an amazing relaxer.
Friends are the best.
Once upon a time…Ok, right now…I work with a girl. She’s very nice and cute…and 18-years-old. Monday, I asked her how her weekend was. She said, Really good! I got a new boyfriend. I said, You say that like I would say, ‘I got a new purse’. Laughter. She explained that they had gone on a couple of dates and as of the weekend were officially a couple. I asked what his name was and she told me. It’s not a common last name, I live in a fairly small community, and I recognized the last name immediately. I said, I used to babysit him when he was a baby. She said, No way! I said, Yep. I asked how old he was now, and she said, 20. I said, Yes, that makes sense because I was babysitting him when I was 12/13-years-old. Like that’s even old enough to take care of 5 kids (he has 4 older brothers and sisters – and now has 6 younger brothers and sisters – big family).
The end.
To not be a pack-rat. Do you really need that? Or that?
To sometimes just not feel like drinking water.
To see your new name (last name) in print and think, Who is that? Oh. Me.
To really really like your new label printer. Who needs a label? Anyone?
To be beyond glad Friday is here.
To want to give your co-workers make-overs. Come on, nature didn’t create that shade of blonde.
To have had pizza and beer night twice in one week. And, oh, was it good!
To be anxious about who is sitting where at dinner after the wedding – even if no one else cares.
To look forward to doing lawn work this weekend. Fresh air, sun shine, and sunscreen!
To be going out after work for a well deserved beer with friends. Amen.
I have successfully cooked two dishes in my slow cooker in the past two weeks. One was BBQ pork – shredded for sandwiches. YUM! And a dish with chicken, tomatoes and mushrooms, which we ate with garlic bread. YUM!
I have been wanting to use, and love, my slow cooker since I bought it, but just couldn’t figure out what to do with it. And, I’ll admit, I have been too impatient. Rule #1 – No checking on the progress. You must leave the lid ON.
My mom gave me a recipe for lasagna for the slow cooker, and I will have to try that out too.
