Paper Goods

A friend of mine was going to throw away a little collection of these cards including ones for baby showers, birthdays etc., so I claimed them. Love em! I think I'm gonna do a craft night and Make some. Who's in for a girly craft night?

P.S. I think Allyssa made these? She's super crafty :)

Remembering Me

Pic Via Gillar Girl

Thanks for all the warm wishes, kind words, and nice gifts on my special day :) Hugs to all!
A recap:

• I had the whole day off work!
• Internship Interview- not so birthday-ish but the only time I could fit it in.
• Soup at Crispers for lunch
• Transformers 2 movie at the dollar theater (robot heaven?- come on!!!....lame)
• Auntie Mary surprised me and bought tickets to fly in and see me for a week- Wahoo!
• My main man made me pumpkin Pie instead of cake at my request- what a keeper!

An Oldy

With a birthday soon approaching I am having conversations that go something like this.
"I better enjoy these years while I'm young."
"Young? I'm on the verge of not young.. wait, I'm old!"
"I'm not Old! I'm only in my Twenties"
And then I have that conversation that starts off like... "I remember back when..." and I feel like an old soul.

As I addressed some envelopes this morning (maybe some of you are the lucky recipients), and put the stamps on, I thought, "HOLY COW! (yes, I still say holy cow :P ) I remember when stamps were 27 cents!" now I'm shuffling through my stamp stack trying to add up to 44 cents. Highway robbery I tell you!

Don't you love REAL mail? Getting the mail is my favorite part of each day (even thought it's usually junk). Make someone else's day- SEND SOMEONE SNAIL MAIL TODAY!! I have a dear family member and friend that sends me snail mail often, and i treasure each peice of mail. What a simple way to say a big I love you.

I ask, When do you cross over the threshold to, "I'm old", the point when you can't battle whether you're still a youngin any more.

LIfe's a Beach

Literally for this little guy. How was your labor day?

We went to the beach! When we came back to our towels from frolicing in the ocean, as I was sitting down I saw this little guy run across my blanket. I yelped pretty loudly, drawing attention and laughter to our little spot on the beach. The lady next to us said he's been visiting our spot all day when we weren't there.... Wish she had told me this when I first got there and was laying unaware taking a cat nap that I had a little visitor that could sneak up on and pinch me pretty good.

P.s. He was a fast little guy who did not want his picture taken!

Also this lovely holiday our washer died. So we got this puppy

and her fraternal Twin:

You wouldn't imagine the deal at sears! They were 1,000 stinkin bucks off. We were just going to get the washer but it's 350 cheaper to get them both instead of seperate at different times.... So whamo! downside... it was such a good deal, that everyone bought them... they are backordered until Oct. 6...sigh... But boy oh boy I can't wait! It does 5 loads of laundry at once!
