Disneyland!

Could it finally be?? Mickey was welcoming Jill and me to Disneyland for our birthdays!! (you too, I guess Brad!) What a great day!! A family event (minus Curtis)! The happiest place on earth!!! (Just don't ask Henry!!)

Summer time

ahhh.....the first days of summer, when a good book (gotta read before the movie comes out) and not too hot days invite a poolside lounge day....hmmmm perfect 2nd beginning to Mother's Day,(last nite my kids celebrated MD!!) MY birthday and Disneyland!!! Looks inviting....one problem...the planter boxes might be calling my attention some too!!!

Tagged Oh MY!

My daughter tagged me? I've never been tagged before...what do I do, HOW do I do this...what if I don't have 8 things....I KNOW I don't have 8 blogger friends to tag...hmmm, okay...I'll give this a try: 8 things I'm looking forward to (bad english!)

1. my massage today....I can hardly wait


2. my son's wedding next month


3. I'm going to Disneyland!!! not that it is my birthday or anybody elses


4. swimming in my pool...the water is almost warm enough


5. vacation time this summer, though I'm not sure what or where it will be


6. having only two people in our house?!!! sorry kids :)


7. planting our new planter boxes and finish planting the corner! flowers and veggies here I come!


8. the next time I get to play with my Henry boy!!

Wow I did 8! now let's see 8 things I did yesterday....hmmm, the day before was more fun, I might have to roll both of them into 'yesterday!'

1. My usual coffee in the morning, in bed, brought to me by my husband of 37 years!


2. Work....


3. while at work, encouraged, egged on, took pictures of 'The Race' (see blog below) (envision The Office and you will be close!)


4. Left work and opted for a quick pedicure...the only thing missing was the cup of coffee my girls usually bring with me ( that will teach me to go by myself!)


5. gingerly went to the store, still with tp stuck between my toes, if you see any tp in the Von's shopping center it could be mine, to pick up some chips and cheese for burgers! yum, thanks Jilly!


6. enjoyed an evening outside of burgers and conversation with my roomies!!


7. oh, dugged in the dirt (that could have been the day before, but digging in the dirt and planting flowers can be added to any things you do, whenever!)


8. laundry, 2 loads, folded and put away, washed face, jammies (sort of) turned back the sheets, surfed the tv, not a thing worth watching...even HGTV was boring...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Wow, I only cheated 1 time in that list!

8 things I wish....just begs the reply'.....world peace....'

wish upon a star...oh, yeah that is next week...dland here we come

I would lose 10 pounds

I was a better communicator

I knew how to play to piano or sing, but since, changing my voice aint gonna happen and I do have a piano...seems the likely choice...

I would spend more time w/my God who loves me and is always there for me...(why don't I?????)

I wish the weather would be like today all summer long....but then I probably wouldn't swim unless my pool was heated..

to spend a summer holiday in an English cottage (2-3 months should do!) must be read/spoken in an English accent

I wish I would write a novel or short story or memoir....

Okay, so I beat that to death, depending on if you count 'world peace' as a wish!

So, next to the last...shows I watch...how 'bout things I enjoy?!!!

1. House is a fav tv show


2. Life...so good....


3. The Mentalist along w/something else I watch that is like it...can't remember


4. HGTV/Food network...Ace of Cakes...Bobby Flay...Iron Chef...House Hunters...DIVINE DESIGN, can you believe her....but definitely don't watch Rachael Ray..ick!


5. Love a good book...anything Rosamond Pilcher wrote....except September, not good, Francine Rivers, always a good read and my latest, supsense thriller Daniel Silva
6. Chick flicks, mostly all of them...and good suspense movies in the genre of Borne....
7. I go on vacation by looking at maps...and I don't even care if they get folded correctly....I usually bend them to fit where I'm looking
8. I love old hymns, not necessarily sung by old people, but the deep meaning of life experience hymns, and good classical guitar, piano, and I love when I have the opportunity to hear my niece Sarah play her violin...(she is not your average violinist, but currently working on her PHD! she strums a nice tune!)

Wow! I managed eight! (8) Alas, my time is way gone and all that is left is to tag 8 friends...hard to do, since my friends don't blog...sooooo....

Olly Olly Oxen Free (I have no idea how you spell that!)
