Where did the past 2 weeks go???? Blurrrrrrr.....In no particular order here are a few of the million things I have been up to....
My boss quit due to stress and conflict/chaos in our organization and how it was affecting his health....I can relate.....have been in major transition mode....he is a good guy and I wish him well......
Had not 1 but 2 follow up IRS Audit questions.....the beat goes on.....
Had not 1 but 2 follow up IRS Audit questions.....the beat goes on..... Moved around my new repurposed chest in the guest room/toy room and.....
.... organized all the family games! I tend to organize when I am stressed.....
I met the boys and Kristen at the library for the Library's birthday and Irish Dance Show and enjoyed a walk back to my car with the boys.....I miss the library....it is right behind where I work and I want to get there more often.....
Busted out some new toys for Brody.....Playskool Little School House, Fire station and Farm...he likes to put things in places and containers and create - he loves these
Found 2 treasures while Thrifting....this great white lazy susan and another apothecary jar for a candy bar for a birthday party I am planning.....total: $4.25
I used the lazy susan to contain all my chatkzes on my home office desk - I find if I put things together they are more pleasing to look at and look more organized....did I say I tend to organize when I am stressed....
For now I am keeping all the apothecary jars in my kitchen garden window....I love the way the light shines through....hey, if you have to be in the kitchen, it might as well be pleasing to the eye!
I use my antique vanity as my gift wrapping station in my home office. I went to get a bag to wrap a gift and it was messy so I drug it all out.....
and reorganized the drawers to be more structured and useful (what was I saying about organizing when I am stressed?)
Dylan in Kindergarten (who has the most AMAZING teacher) has really been in the St. Patrick Day Spirit....he is my special little leprechaun....
He made this picture for me and Gramps!
....and when he and Brody spent the night Friday the 16th he woke me up to tell me I had better come downstairs and see the mess that the Leprechaun had made! Here is the proof!
He even said he heard the footsteps on the roof and laughter and drew a picture of who caused the mess!
Dylan holds the gold coins the Leprechaun left! I love the serious picture on his face....I love the fact that he is young and innocent and free to enjoy and believe and create....
Our friends from AZ came to visit for 5 days and we had lots of eating and sunning and shopping....just the way we like it! Here is Edie making us some yummy Italian Bean Soup...she also make Chicken tacos but I missed getting a picture of those!
For breakfast one day I made hash browns and Egg cups....it was a fun way to mix all the breakfast ingredients together - toast, bacon, eggs, cheese!
We also went to one of our favorite spots in SD, Ocean Beach, ate calamari sandwiches and soaked in the sun.....notice Steve is ever working even on the phone while we are having our picture taken....
While the guys walked the pier, Edie and I walked the shops and saw mind boggling beautiful things and bought many treasurers too.....love this candle in my fave Vignettes shop....will be doing this for the party....
Freaky Barbie chandelier....
Took this picture for my cousin who collects globes - which one do you want?
I made a decadent lasagna with mushrooms, Italian sausage, Parmesan reggiano and fresh pasta (Thank You Little Italy!)....it was pretty tasty!
and because my daughter calls me the crazy furniture lady, bought 2 of these at a yard sale for a repurposing makeover - stay tuned!
